There are two different versions of that scene, depending on the affection score.

It's vague on purpose so some players can still be withdrawn and brooding over Aeris and some players can go with their childhood love, Tifa.

It's all about Tifa's reaction to the fact that Barret and the others saw the whole thing that on its own, implies something actually happened between Cloud and her, that's it, it's nothing really serious but it certainly is far from being "fucking/absolutely nothing".

It was rated T for Teen, Cloud's not going to say "I'm gonna fuck you right in the pussy" but the implication is clearly there in the higher affection version. I certainly hope that the reason you don't see it isn't because you're that oblivious to romantic cues and rather that you're pulling for Aeris.

But Aeris's heart belongs to Zack. Cloud only thinks he's in love with her because of Zack's implanted memories that's why she acts so strangely when Cloud tries to be close with her.

>> No.3819590

Because figuring that shit out requires actually playing it and no one wants to do it with that turn based shit. So they just assume that since Tifa dresses like a slut she must be one.

1. I scored over 30 pussies, I know how cues work
2. I ship Tifa and Cloud as it should be

I'm just saying they didn't have sex in that scene.

Maybe the embarass was that they woke up hugged and the others saw it.
That's pretty intimate enough for japan.

If that's how your mind cannon interprets it that's fine that's the beauty of vagueness. Personally, I don't think a SOLDIER who's been on tour for years or a female innkeeper in a city slum would be so innocent but it doesn't really matter. For the purposes of the thread we agree that Cloud "ships" with Tifa.

Cloud never loved her though. Yeah he was visibly upset when she died but so was the rest of the party except maybe Vincent. She liked him because he reminded her of Zack, but on the Gold Saucer date she says she's gotten over Zack and wants to find the real Cloud.

JRPGs are designed to appeal to horny males, that's why you get both those hoes on your dick, since cloud is the player character you are supposed to identify with.

Same deal with Chrono Trigger making the player character Crono the only one really eligible to fuck 3 bitches.

Because people only played up until Aeris' death.

If they played any longer they would have realized that Cloud only liked Aeris because he thought he was Zach, her old boyfriend.

This, pretty much.

Aeris is supposed to be a throwaway character of sorts, similar to what was done with Lavitz in Legend of Dragoon. Aeris was quite clearly supposed to be a tragic and rather doomed character; from her upbringing to the time when Cloud meets her. There's something very sombre and almost macabre about her; being the last of her race, and being effectively hunted down by Shinra. She's symbolic more than anything else.

The thing is though, people started getting really attached to characters once the 5th Gen came to be. Cinematic games meant you ended up becoming a lot more involved with the characters, and got attached to them in ways you never did before. Hell, I felt like I'd been punched in the gut at the end of Panzer Dragoon Saga because of how powerful that ending was, which was something I certainly never did with a 4th or 3rd gen game.

Arris had a crush on Cloud, she said many times in game. She gotten over Zack and wanted to be with and know more about Cloud. Cloud however had feelings for Tifa since he was a kid. Aeris was a friend to the entire party so of course her dying for them all sad. But for whatever reason after FF7 they basically forget Tifa exists and just to shove Aeris down the player and Clouds throat.

Like OP said look at Kingdom Hearts. Cloud's whole story in the series so far is held looking for his light (Aeris). Tifa is looking for Cloud in KH2 and she finally finds him and he barely says Hello, he goes right back to looking for Aeris. It's really bizarre.

Initially the scene was a lot more explicit, iirc in one of the FF Ultimania's it's stated that originally it was planned that both leave the chocobo stall in the highwind while looking around/acting suspicious but Kitase or Nomura rejected it because it was considered too extreme.

And in Costa Del Sol it's implied that Tifa was fucking Johnny while Cloud was being fucked around as a SOLDIER
Tifa is a trash character.
Also, it wasn't the dev's orignal plan to kill Aerith. They decided later on and created Tifa to fill the void of the missing female hero, and then made a back story that developed into the love triangle, etc.

>yfw there are at least 6 pieces of Amano art featuring Cloud with Aerith
>None with Cloud and Tifa
>There are more pics of Cloud with Nanaki than there are with Tifa

IMO, CloudxAerith vs CloudxTifa in FFVII is ambiguous and kind of up to the player and their actions/affection levels.
But post FFVII, it's clearly CloudxAerith.

I've never gotten Tifa's appeal beyond being a titty monster. I don't really get Cloud's appeal, either, though.
