1. After this trailer, it is time for an updated version of what I expect to see in #FF7Rebirth and what wild theories I came up with too: - Cloud and Aerith are in love with each other and we’ll be well-informed about that. - The devs stated Rebirth ends at the Forgotten City

#0207Aerith生贺24h #エアリス #FF7Rebirth #Clerith #クラエア the flower girl and her bodyguard 爱丽丝生日快乐！🥳❤️ （A processed screenshot of the game was used as the background）

It’s funny how CTs love to brag about their optional kiss and diminish CA’s CONSTANT hand holding like it’s not canonically conveyed as the one specific romantic gesture throughout the compilation. “This time, I will never let you go”, “Take my hand and never let me go”.

to wear a dress, pretends to be a girl so Aerith doesn't have to go alone to Don Corneo. It's absolutely insane how much Cloud changed….not by meeting Tifa again, by getting to know Barrett but by meeting Aerith.

To keep impressing Aerith, agrees to be her bodyguard…not for money but for a date. Aerith appears and everything we believed to be true about Cloud….is suddenly no longer the case. It is one of the most flabbergasting changes ever and the climax is that he even agrees

The one thing that got me interested in the relationship between Cloud and Aerith, and how it is portrayed in OG and now more visible in FF7R, is how everything appears like they are really enjoying the time they have with each other. Cloud is curious, interested and really tries

After years of telling us Cloud was actually Zack when he interacted with Aerith, SE confirmed that Cloud was Zack when he gave the flower to Tifa in #FF7R This is sweet sweet justice Thank you, SE #Clerith #FF7R

Just a bit longer ~ #Clerith

@4evertreestar In order to expect CT, one must believe Cloud is lying and the game is leading you on…. It is all fake

In #FF7R, Square Enix had Cloud directly deny that Tifa is his “girlfriend” Then, SE had the entire town of Wall Market declare that #Clerith is canon Did CTs not play the game?

Aerith’s role, her importance in FF7 is absolutely underrated.

3作目でもクラウドがエアリスに 見惚れるシーンがあると思う✨

@ThePettyK @CarefulKnives It's not his reaction to Aerith’s death in OG but the last time Cloud and Aerith looked at each other….before Sephiroth murdered her in front of him.

CTs really aren’t beating the poor comprehension allegations 😂.They’re . Cloud was clearly the most emotionally shattered when Aerith died in the OG. And comparing the old graphics to the remake is just 🤡 of course the OG couldn’t show as much emotion with its limited animation

“every back road held a memory, and every memory held your name”

at the end of the day, future Aerith told cloud to not fall in love with her, implying that he did fall in love with her. and she also told herself that meaning she fell in love with him too. Like helloooo They fell in love with each other!!! Insane.

The very fact, that the devs say they can't answer the question until the end of the trilogy, whether the fate of the characters are changeable to OG…funnily enough implies it already changed, just the outcome if it is for the better or worse, is unknown.

Eyes on you. #Clerith #クラエア #ff7

maiden’s kiss | ff7

The way his eyes widen bc she's acknowledging she can see through him and is aware of the boyish crush he's kept hidden from everyone, and doesn't judge him for it even amidst their growing feelings for each other, instead gives him that understanding little smile and head tilt... The MOMENT this is for them? Right after he just refused to sit beside her bc of his insecurities and jealousy in regards to her feelings for Zack (but patiently showed her around fake Nibelheim anyway, even after her little gaffe)? It's also her way of telling him the past is the past, she's got hers and he's got his, and it's okay to embrace it and move forward. It speaks of so much empathy and trust. And then her maturity recognizing her envy of childhood moments she didn't get to live, of having a hometown, friends... The nuance of her not knowing the truth about his loneliness matching hers, his own selflessness not minding her need to vent, and possibly taking it out on him, and wanting to be there for her regardless... This is such a beautiful depiction of a healthy relationship dynamic. Everything about the Clerith Water Tower scene is perfection. No wonder it's Nojima's favorite.

Yoshitaka Amano's FF7/Clerith art adorning downtown Rio de Janeiro had me in tears, thank you @CCBB_RJ for the incredible exhibit, I LOVE MY LIFE
