Who does cloud love tifa or arieth?
But that all didn’t really stop them from being friends, right? So yeah, it really isn’t clearly told, and there are always fights about this, but it’s up to you, or the “player.” But i still personally think Cloud and Tifa are a better couple. And i wonder what happened to Cloud’s “childhood feelings” for her…but i think he only started caring for Aerith because she’s a close friend, and has an important role, and has to protect her from Sephiroth and Shinra so she can save the Planet. He also feels like he has that duty, because that’s also what Zack would’ve done, and Zack asked him to live out both of their lives.
