Good post, you. Now I'm going to add some of my thoughts.

The first time I watched AC, I was ecstatic. By the time it ended, I knew for sure that it had Cloud/Tifa hints.

After the credits, if any of you have seen "Calling", well, the song is supposed to represent Cloud's emotions, but it is very open-ended. Cleris fans tend to take it romantically because Aeris appears in the video for like .3 seconds, when Cloud doesn't even see her. Personally, I see it as Cloud finally letting his guilt go away. (Thank god!) And still, after that, there is a scene called "Reminiscence", which shows flashbacks of the game. You can also hear people calling Cloud on his phone. His friends. Yuffie sends him a "Temporary closed" sign for his shop. Cloud is then heard talking to Tifa telling her to close the shop, and that's he's making today a Holiday, and to also tell Denzel and Marlene. AVALANCHE is throwing a partay. And I thought that was obvious, considering the picture of the team on his desk at the end of "Calling".

One thing Cloud is not doing is searching for Aeris for the rest of his life. She's dead, and it's not like she was his wife or anything. They didn't even know eachother well. Tifa has always been there for him, and the only thing that AC points to, in all honesty, is CloudxTifa. The scene at the end of AC with Aeris and Zack walking through the door is so perfect, one could take it as a ZackxAeris scene. I prefer it to be ZackxAeris and CloudxTifa, those have always been the true couples.
