"you must spread some reputation around before giving it to Loony Bob again"
dammit
but good post, I completely agree, I hate how Cloud missing Aerith or feeling guilty about her death must automatically mean he loves her romantically. Yet the feelings Tifa and Cloud shared for one another must be friendship... whatever.
EDIT:
BTW I'm not saying disc 1 doesn't matter, I was just trying to say it's all optional and there's no evidence that he likes Aerith romantically that isn't optional... unless I'm wrong, correct me if I'm wrong..
EDIT2:
And I'm saying I can't, but I'm a bitch like thatHowever, I can understand how people can say that Cloud would have actually gone for the one which was more willing to jump into bed with him at the time, and for them, maybe Aeris was the love interest while she was still alive
