"she's willing to have cloud on any level as long as she can have him.." When you say this, my above statement applies. Tifa doesnt want Cloud on 'any level'. If she did, she could have had him. Hell, she could have messed with his mind further in the Lifestream. Tifa cares very strongly for Cloud, but she's willing to let him go and let him be with Aerith (pre-death) and to let him feel as he will.

I understand what you're saying, but I just wanted to clear up my interpretation of that.

We see, however, that Aerith doesnt seem willing (pre-death) to let Cloud love Tifa. Especially in the ways we see love points handed out (check the FAQ at RPGamer). There's at least one instance where Cloud being downright mean to Tifa will increase points with Aerith, while, in that same situation, being mean to Aerith will decrease points to both girls.

That being said, aside from the optional feelings the player decides upon and the results of those, Cloud doesnt show much affection at all for either girl. He quite clearly cares very deeply for both of them, but he never shows it in any sort of romantic way. What we see is both girls liking Cloud, not Cloud liking either of them, so I dont think there are any overt feelings from Cloud's side for either girl to ignore.

zo-sama, you may wanna read Case of Tifa, which is translated in a link earlier in this thread.
