Let's discuss Cloud's main love interest: Aerith or Tifa

[LadyRelena]

I'm only going to be a bitch because I'm sick of hearing this. What part of maybe don't you get?

You're acting as if you've said this to me before. I get that this retarded LTD has gotten to everyone by now but being a "bitch" to me isn't going to make the stupid people go away. I haven't even been on this thread for that long.

LR- Several other times, it is said that Cloud and Tifa confirm their matching feelings. No conditional statements involved. An 'if/then' statement is no match for a 'then' statement. Feelings were confirmed. That they only happen in one version means that version happened, not that an 'if' means we can't be sure.

Yeah I get this now

On the other hand, it strikes me as off you focus on an If when numerous other events render it moot, but ignore a 'perhaps' that actually introduces ambiguity into the statement.

Again, I haven't even been on this thread that long and there is so much evidence for CxT that I can't remember all of the "numerous other events" that "render it moot"

Be that as is may, LR, Even if it would have gone better with Aerith, he's with Tifa. LTD over.

The only reason why "maybe" and "if" concerned me was because I felt like it COULD give credence to all those people arguing "Cloud only ended up with Tifa because Aeris died and he had no other choice." If it's true that Cloud actually loved Aeris in a romantic sense (and not Tifa at all) then it flies in the face of all the "Mother" comments and foreshadowing that happen in the game and in AC.

People are also going to use this (if they haven't already) to imply that Cloud would never be with Tifa if he had been given a real choice over the two girls. It's basically a way to degrade Tifa's character while inferring that Cloud's feelings for her aren't as real as they could have been with Aeris.

This was why I mentioned those three quotations. "THE LTD IS OVER!" Yes, I know that and I'm glad, but I don't like "maybe's" and "if" being thrown around, giving amo to people looking for any excuse to make Tifa out to be Cloud's second rate token prize.

Honestly, this kind of hostile attitude you guys have makes me want to delete my account.
