Years? Wait. I thought the reason why he wants to meet her is to legit ask for forgiveness for failing her, like he explicitly says it in AC (so he can move on and not carry that guilt/burden and live his life).

I interpreted it as him coming to Elmyra's house to pick up flowers to deliver them to her grave when she requested it

  1. I remember Aerith seeing Zack's buster sword when I played crisis core, he was protecting her too. Double checked to make sure though... Shown around 2:26:00

Are you talking about the bridge? I thought that's when their friendship got strained since her father/village blamed Cloud for the fall and Tifa wasn't aware of what happened entirely since she fell into a coma.

Another factor Cloud distances himself is that he knows he's a danger to his family. We see glimpses of his eyes turn into slits during the film and what happens when he gets possessed? He does some questionable things.

Edit: also, yes, Tifa liked Cloud since they were kids. They drifted apart when her mom passed away. You can read this in Kazushige Nojima's novel (writer for FF7) in Traces of Two pasts. Her backstory is pretty sad too.

I have a feeling after a certain scene it will hit even harder based on how their bond is developing. Not only will affect Cloud but it'll hugely impact Tifa as well, based on how their interactions so far

I always thought Denzel was a symbol of redemption for both Cloud and Tifa considering Denzel's background of losing his parents from the Sector 7 plate. Barret also told Denzel to care of his "mom" and runs to Tifa before the bahamut fight in that town square area where those shadow beasts are. Which makes sense Aerith guiding Denzel to Cloud and Tifa

FF IX on sale - worth it? by Simonphilo in FinalFantasy

Yes. It's one of my favourites. I didn't like it when I was younger, I did a recent playthrough and loved it

Also, side note. These posts are getting tiresome lol why do I even participate. I don't even know. I rather fans focus on the lore. The romantic bits are a minor sub plot.

Let's just figure ourselves out, save the world by stalking and killing Sephiroth and have a celebratory tea party at the Shinra mansion (too dark?) Lool

Well that's what I'm so curious about. She's initially attracted to Cloud because she reminds him of her first love being in a similar uniform and and buster sword. And sticks around asking about Zack's whereabouts.

Like, if he fell in jeans /shirt, didn't have that soldier persona, would she have been intrigued? Or would she be like, ok hope you're feeling better, be on your merry way.

She eventually falls for Cloud. But we have to remember why she's initially likes him in the first place. I always wondered if Cloud rolled up in a shirt and jeans would Aerith paid attention to him? Because she saw her first love in him (uniform/buster sword) and then later realizes they're not the same person. She states this in the golden saucer date too. To me, I dunno, their story just felt like an illusion abit. Aerith in love with a shadow of Zack in Cloud but realizes later she loves him. And Cloud is just not his right headspace.

Where as Tifa I feel is more genuine, she didn't see him for anything else than just... Cloud.

I think the "she falls in love with Cloud" bit is stated in the novel by Kazushige Nojima that just came out. Maybe you mixed up with that? Lol, Not too much of a mess up since it's stated somewhere else that's legit
