Brand new canon information!
When Cloud was in Super Smash Bros., who did he get along with the best?
MARIO.
Who annoyed him the most?
Donkey Kong!
Finally the debates can stop.
I can share this again with UPDATED FF7R ART NOW!
Cloud & Aeris's key arts are both about one another. In Cloud's, he stands to rescue Aeris from Shinra - her bodyguard. In Aeris's, it's Cloud's promise to take her on the Highwind, and we see a sky full of "Clouds." โค๏ธ

#Clerith
Wait, the play at Gold Saucer IS Loveless??? Since when??? In the OG it was "The Abducted Princess Rosa." But if this is Loveless...
..the Clerith vibes are just SO beyond.
"Just how safe can Sephiroth get?"
Hamaguchi: Sephiroth really does care for Cloud at all times, so as a result, maybe he is always safe.
Sephiroth is gay for Cloud,

I love how Cloud and Aerith's chapter 8 "all sidequests completed" bonus scene was canonized in Rebirth.
Cloud REALLY told the flowers to learn to talk to Aerith, and then in Rebirth's "Spice of Life" quest, he asks her if they finally learned to talk back.๐ฅน CLOUD!
#Clerith
My happy happy heroine! She is so enchanted by Bugenhagen's Lifestream presentation in the observatory. It always felt like the right thing to do to bring Aeris along for that, and I'm glad Remake Cloud does it, too!
#Aerith
#FF7Rebirth
Loren: I really thought that "playing the character of Aerith'' was my primary mission. The personality of the character Aerith, her relationship with Cloud... her feelings are always deeply intertwined with the element of love.
She knows what's up ๐
#Clerith
#ใฏใฉใจใข
So.. when did this scene at the end of Intermission happen? With Zack trying to visit Aeris in the church, only to be surprised at everyone there crying? What was going on here?
"There's nothing wrong with a love song, of course, and while the lyrics do have elements of that - like meeting someone, them changing your world, etc. - it's also about the burden of her destiny as the last Cetra."
So.. it DOES have love song elements, just like Nobuo said.
"A scene that I believe will be a vehicle of great emotion is the date at the Gold Saucer. I'm not referring just to the Gondola sequence with Aerith, and the conversation between her and Cloud, but to all the previous phases that lead to that specific moment."

Reasons Hollow and No Promises to Keep are about Cloud and Aerith:
-they're the main characters
-Aerith's death is alluded to in 7R
-lyrics perfectly describe their relationship
-Plays as BG in her home area
-Official material implies them
Reasons they aren't:
-you ship C!0ti
I know Cloud loves Aeris because when he was sad in Advent Children, he went to go live in her abandoned church instead of his 300,000 gil private beachfront villa in Costa del Sol โฑ๏ธ๐
#Clerith
Zack: "Cloud! Save her!" [after Sephiroth has allegedly killed Aeris]
Sephiroth: "I must admit. I underestimated you." [to Aeris, again, after he allegedly killed her]
This climactic dialogue just doesn't suggest that Aeris is dead, at least not in any way that matters.

"This isn't about me, though. It's about saving the world - and you."

Cloud canonically told Mario that he was in SOLDIER seven times in Super Smash Brothers.
Also, Hamaguchi says Sephiroth was on good terms with Cloud in Smash. (not sure if the feeling was mutual lmao)

"Tifa's worth isn't dependent on her relationship with Cloud."
THIS, THIS, THIS! I think it's downright nasty to measure her value on whether or not she has a romance with the protagonist. Thanks for saying that!

I wonโt say that it was destiny

Uematsu: โNo Promises to Keepโ is a love song. I wanted it to exude a sweet feeling, but at the same time, evoke the complex feeling as Aerith confessed her feelings.
Loren: I wanted to get to know Aerith well, and I also wanted to depict her relationship with Cloud.
#Clerith
When I've said FF7's love triangle is "player choice" I've been mocked by certain CT shippers. ๐ I've heard things like "Cleriths say it's player choice because they know they can't WIN against CT, it's all they have."
but now many CT shippers agree it's player choice? โ๏ธ
Saw this theory and it's kinda fun. Think Hojo designed Chadley based on the other son he "designed" - Sephiroth? The hair and eye color checks out, and look, Chadley even has "one wing" (the scarf tied on his bag). Hojo would know what Sephiroth looked like as a boy, too.
I've heard some people say Loren Allred's voice doesn't match Aeris's. Spicy opinion, but I think it's perfect. Okay, Aeris is probably not a classically trained singer, but the power behind her voice is perfect. I absolutely hear Aeris in No Promises To Keep.

The interview:
"I don't care who is dating who. I think it's better to get fans to imagine and enjoy the parts that are not spelled out in the game.. I'm often asked, 'did Tfa and Cloud have a romantic relationship'.. but I don't know."
Nomura doesn't care to canonize ships lol
Asked how many girls FFVII's Sephiroth has dated, Nomura answers that he's never thought about it. He says it doesn't really make a difference to him who's involved with whom, and prefers to let fans imagine things the way they like and find their own enjoyment. (Dreamaga 11/05)

scene in Rebirth is just all my favorite romance tropes in one moment: separated by planes of existence, fighting side-by-side, standing back-to-back and ๆไบบ็นใ (koibito tsunagi) - lovers link (holding hands with interlocked fingers) ๐ฅฐ
Here's the deleted scene!
Rufus asks what the basis for Cloud's faith that he can save the Planet is, and Cloud answers, "Aeris."
It's a shame this was cut - Rufus is the game's secondary antagonist but Cloud doesn't talk with him past their rooftop fight.
#Clerith
#Aerith
An earlier version of FFVII's script contained a scene where Cloud meets with Rufus one-on-one at the Gold Saucer (possibly on the Ferris wheel). Rufus outlines his plan to destroy Sephiroth with the Sister Ray, while Cloud puts his faith in Aerith and the planet. (UO, 2005)
Square's marketing strategy for Rebirth seems to be "hey remember how the iconic FF7 heroine famously dies in the OG? Remember? Remember how sad that was? And she was praying, like this, right before it happened? Right before she dies?"
and I think that's interesting

If making your legally-optional ship "canon" involves misinterpreting iconic FF7 heroine Aerith Gainsborough as a creepy, abusive, selfish jerk then that should be your first sign that everything you believe is wrong.
Like damn. there's coping and then there's whatever that is.
This was always one of my very favorite scenes in the OG - it's just so pensive and wistful. Aeris on the Promised Land ๐ฅบ and also Cloud and Aeris flirting, all elements of a perfect scene โ๏ธ Glad they kept it in
#FF7EverCrisis

Thinking again about how
#Aerith
's resolution scene is about how Cloud and Aerith love one another.
The devs said that when Aeris asked Cloud not to fall in love, she was contradicting her feelings (she loves him) and that Cloud objected to this (he loves her.) ๐ญ๐
#Clerith
In Dissidia Final Fantasy, each of the protagonists has a "crystal" represented by something from their respective games. Cloud's crystal is Aeris's Holy Materia. He obtains it after defeating Sephiroth.
#Clerith
#Aerith
Let's talk Zack/Aerith - the fleeting, juvenile "first love", and how, though he's a precious part of her past, Zack Fair definitely is not Aeris's "endgame". Some say Crisis Core re-establishes Zack as her true love, but this isn't supported by canon. 1/9
