I really can't get used to this wide-apart eyes from this movie. I swear Sakura's left eye looks like it's going to fall off her face.
Hinata is just creepy.
You have a good point... if it wasn't for the fact that it is a well known fact that Nomura killed her off to bring out Tifa.
FF7 Dismantled (FF7 Kaitai Shinsho- the Complete): this book was released at 1997, published by Famistu.Co. There's an interview with Nomura in this book, talking the decision of having Aerith as a tragic heroine. It's during the process of creating FF7, he said that "....in the original setting, Aerith is the only heroine, there's no Tifa. One night I called Kitase-san and said 'Let's kill Aerith and create Tifa." He said there's no dare make such decision, so it'd be rather something. Later on his statement caused fan's unsatisfied criticism, so he explained in another interview that "I didn't mean that, it's his direct decision."
I honestly don't think you played the game at all. First of all, there is no such game as Dissidia 2, it's called Dissidia 012 Duodecim because it serves as a prequel.
Secondly, Aerith was not in the game as a character. She was ONLY an ASSIST, which is what this game calls summons. That's the reason why she "can't be hurt" -- she is literally just a two-second attack that the player can use in battle. You might as well say Cloud's sword is Nomura's favourite character because it can't get damaged either.
I can't seem to decipher what you're trying to say, do you have a source for it? Because the complete edition only solidified Cloud feeling sorry for Zack. The dude even appeared during his final fight against Sephiroth, not Aerith. Seriously, any importance Aerith had as a singular resonant character was really wiped out during the re-release of the movie. If Nomura considers his draft script to be canon, he really did a poor job of it when they crammed in those extra Zack scenes in the film.
I haven't seen the film since it was first released either. The song is called Calling, it was released about a decade before the movie was. Yes, Cloud was on a bike going through fields of flowers. Yes, Aerith was shown to be among the yellow flowers in a different frame. But the end of the movie has Cloud putting yellow flowers next to his photo of Tifa with the rest of AVALANCHE.
No, Cloud and Aerith were only meant to be together during the rough drafts of the story. It was changed. Just like how Fang and Terra were both meant to be men, but rewritten as women. Cloud was literally in love with Tifa when he was younger, the game explains it quite clearly he forgot it all along with the rest of his identity thanks to mako and whatever Hojo did to him. Aerith downright states she didn't know the real Cloud days before her death.
Yep, Cloud says "I think I can meet her... there." Tifa replies, "Yeah, let's go meet her." This seems deliberately poignant and vague, I doubt Cloud was going to end his life to be with Aerith, and if he did, then it would be purely perplexing for Tifa to say she would join him. =|
The RPG element of the game does not mean that this is a harem RPG. That was only for the Golden Saucer minigame, which actually doesn't impact on the overall story at all. For the sole purpose of analysing the merits of cloti vs clerith, the shipping fandom are usually ignore these game mechanics. FFX had a similar mechanism where you can get Tidus to hit on Rikku or Lulu --- but it's pretty obvious who his real love interest is.
I'm personally indifferent to cloti as a whole; I find Cloud's endless routine with being sad to be a boring and predictable story.
Dude, the website is cloudandaerith.com. I've done more than enough research, again and again the fact is: Nomura killed Aerith to bring out Tifa.
Go play Crisis Core. The game literally forces you to visit Aerith in between missions. The only time he never called her was after he died. He was flirty to other women, but he never cheated on Aerith.
Cloud's mother wanted her son to marry an older woman not because the game was telling you Aerith was better. It was to show how weak and dependent her son was on her, which is ironic because she dies. And really, telling your son to marry someone who will coddle him like a child is plain disturbing.
Amano can draw whatever he likes; he has no role in creating the games at all. Nomura designed Aerith to be normal, it's Tifa he pimped out to be fanservice.
The Kingdom Hearts universe has nothing to do with the FFVII universe.
Cloud had a crush on Tifa but he literally forgot about it until after Aerith died. Cloud and Tifa then fell into the lifestream, that's when he remembered he wasn't a first-class soldier, and his real childhood identity.
Cloud's "ongoing theme"? No, that was one line from the entire game. AC had him moping around for forgiveness, in the end he moves back in the home he shares with Tifa. =|
Persona 5 hype 
It was so beautiful 
Too bad I have no likes
