ADVENT CHILDREN IN THEATERS TOMORROW RIPPING APART MY COUCH CUSHIONS WITH MY TEETH IN ANTICIPATION

[vow-upon-a-star]

Cloti feels!

I just wanted to post some cute Cloud and Tifa stuff for all your cloti needs. Consider this a sort of...trivia? I guess? TRIVIA TO GIVE YOU FEELS!!!!!!!!

1. Cloud and Tifa liked each other romantically for years, and were completely oblivious to it until the lifestream scene in the original game.

For many years, Cloud and Tifa have been holding favor for one another. -25th Anniversary.

Incidentally, Tifa didn’t realize he held favor for her until he informed her in the Lifestream. Even though she was called out for it to just be the two of them, she was clueless? -pg. 25, Ultimania Omega

[FFVII] Both Aerith, who is forthright, and Tifa, who is demure, have feelings for Cloud but he is none the wiser to them. -Cloud’s 10th anniversary profile. 

She ventured into Lifestream together with Cloud. Amidst the course of him trying to ascertain his memories, they became aware of the feelings which each other was holding. -Tifa profile 10th AU.

Deep inside Cloud’s heart, feelings were hidden that no one knew about. Even though there were important memories to himself, many of them were forgotten. In the process of looking for the real Cloud, Tifa learns a lesson about the complexity of the human heart, and the feelings are earnestly transmitted. -FF7 Ultimania Omega, pg. 27

2. After becoming aware of their feelings for each other, they live together because of them in both Advent Children AND Dirge of Cerberus. Their romantic feelings for each other are still there and they still live together 3 years after the original game.

In FF7, Tifa is the only one who knows Cloud’s childhood, and furthermore, she holds the key to people involved in the story of Nibelheim’s burning down, which is also depicted in CC. She and Cloud came to realize their feelings for each other in the end of the story, and live together in AC and DC.- Tifa profile Crisis Core Ultimania.

3. The word used to describe Tifa’s feelings for Cloud, and his feelings for her, is the same word used between Cecil and Rosa (a canon married couple who are also childhood friends)

For many years, Cloud and Tifa have been holding favor for one another. -25th Anniversary.

長年、互いに好意を抱いていたティファとクラウド。

Incidentally, Tifa didn’t realize he held favor for her until he informed her in the Lifestream. Even though she was called out for it to just be the two of them, she was clueless? -pg. 25, Ultimania Omega

ちなみにティファは、 クラウドか自分に好意を抱いていたということに、 ライフストリームで告げられるまでまったく気づいていなかった。呼び出されてふたりきりになっているのに、結鈍感？

And as stated above, they move in together and live together because of these feelings that stay present all the way to Dirge of Cerberus!

4. After the end of FF7, Cloud was happy to start his new life and live with Tifa by his side.

“Cloud, you’re smiling.”

“I am?”

“Yeah.”

“It all starts now. A new…”

Cloud searched for the right words.

“A new life.”

“I’m going to live. I think that’s the only way I can be forgiven. We’ve been through … a lot.”

“Yeah…”

“But when I think about how many times I’ve thought about how I was going to start a new life, it’s funny….”

“Why’s that funny?”

“Because I’ve always screwed it up.”

“That’s not funny.”

“After this … I think I’ll be okay.”

Cloud became very quiet for a moment.

“Because I have you this time.”

“You’ve always had me.”

“What I mean is kind of different,”

Cloud answered with another smile. -From the novella Case of Tifa.

5. Cloud was extremely happy living with Tifa, and experienced a peace he’s never had before. Fearing he’d lose his happy life with Tifa and the children, (already established they like each other romantically) he became depressed and anxious. Once he contracted Geostigma, he left completely.

In Advent Children The happier he is now, The more Cloud is tormented by painful “memories” of the past. -10th AU Cloud’s profile

The more he realizes how happy he is living with Tifa and the children, the more the fear of losing that and regrets toward the past trouble Cloud… -10th AU Cloud’s profile

Nomura: Even though he found peace, Cloud has lost a lot of people dear to him up until this point. Not only that, but looking at Cloud’s history, this is the first time he’s experienced a ‘peaceful’ environment in the true sense of the word. Cloud is a character who will always keep thinking, regardless of what’s going on around him. -Distance (The Making of AC)

Nomura:  Cloud tried to move on once…but he was hurt by the losses he experienced in the battles he fought in the game story. Even after all of that he still found a peaceful life and that made him scared. He lost it all once already and he could lose it all again. even though he was there he couldn’t do anything to prevent it the last time. So the happier he is, the more lonely he becomes. -Distance (The Making of AC)

Nojima: Cloud never had a candid personality to begin with, and although he started living with Tifa and even started working, he obtained a peaceful living he’s never experienced before, and this conversely made him anxious. And in the midst of this he contracts Geostigma himself, and rather than being able to protect the people dear to him, he instead was forced to face his own death, and so ran away. -AC prologue

Nomura: Cloud is scared that the peace he has now might shatter, so he is living on his own.

Because he contracted Geostigma, Cloud left Tifa and the children, and began living in the Slum church. FF7 10th AU Complete Timeline

Because he contracted Geostigma, he left Tifa and the children, and began living in the Slum church. FF7 10th AU Cloud Strife Profile.

Now running a delivery business while helping out Tifa with the newly opened “Seventh Heaven” bar, Cloud, Tifa, Marlene and Denzel lived together like a family. However, when Cloud contracts Geostigma he disappears. Behind these actions lies feelings of guilt towards his past failure to protect people who were important to him, but through his battle with Kadaj’s gang, the legacy of Jenova, he regains the courage to face reality. -FF7 10th AU Cloud Strife profile

6. He moves back in with Tifa and the children once his Geostigma is cured! And continues to live with her in Dirge of Cerberus. (Stated above, they live together because of their romantic feelings)

In FF7, Tifa is the only one who knows Cloud’s childhood, and furthermore, she holds the key to people involved in the story of Nibelheim’s burning down, which is also depicted in CC. She and Cloud came to realize their feelings for each other in the end of the story, and live together in AC and DC.- Tifa profile Crisis Core Ultimania.

At the end of a long struggle, she gently welcomes back Cloud on his return home after settling things with himself.-Tifa’s Dengeki profile.

Aerith lends her power to the people suffering from Geostigma in Edge, and personally provides for Cloud’s recovery. Geostigma is cured. Cloud returns to Tifa and the children. FF7 timeline 10th Anniversary

Cloud and Tifa

Cloud and Tifa are childhood friends, both born in Nibelheim. When Cloud leaves the village, he calls Tifa out to the water tower and promises that he will become a SOLDIER. At the same time, he is also made by Tifa to promise that he will come to rescue her if she is ever in trouble.

Following this, the pair experience many hardships, such as the Nibelheim incident which also appears in CC, and the Jenova War in FFVII, and through these the distance between them shortens. And in AC they live together, with Barret’s daughter Marlene and a boy named Denzel. Though there was also a period later where Cloud lived away from them after having contracted Geostigma, they finally reach a commune with each over and return to living together once again. In DC, they rush together to Vincent’s aid, in his battle against Deep Ground SOLDIER. Crisis Core Complete Guide Keyword
