I Like Both Pairings But I Hate Misinfomation - Tumblr Posts

The above image is 100% Cloti propaganda. 

Here are the facts:

1. Tifa refers to herself, Cloud, and Barret as a family of friends:

“Tifa thought she could get over anything while being with friends that she could call her family.” ~Case of Tifa

2. Tifa admits her & Cloud aren’t a “real” family:

“Tifa turns away, disappointed. “I guess that only works for real families.“ ~Case of Tifa

3. Cloud has his own bed in his office, and Tifa sleeps with Marlene:

“Marlene, who had always slept with Tifa, slept with her foster father Barret the night before he left.”  ~Case of Tifa

4. Cloud believes Denzel was brought to him by Aerith:

“Denzel had collapsed in front of Aerith’s Church. That’s why I thought Aerith lead him to me.” ~Case of Tifa

5. Nojima speaks of a premise that things won’t go well between Cloud & Tifa:

“…there’s a premise that things won’t go well between Tifa and Cloud, and that even without geostigma or Sephiroth, this might be the same.” ~Kazushige Nojima

6. Marlene observes that Cloud & Tifa aren’t getting along well:

“…she told Barret in a sad voice, “Cloud and Tifa aren’t getting along very well.” ~Case of Tifa

7. Tifa admits to not knowing if Cloud loves her:

“Do you love me?”

Cloud opened his eyes. He looked perplexed.

“Hey, Cloud. Do you love Marlene?”

~Case of Tifa

8. Barret is a member of the Seventh Heaven family:

“Barret turned round and shouted, “Do your best!” His voice was a little shaky. “Unite the family’s strength and keep at it!” ~Case of Tifa

“Upon finding out that Edge was under attack during the midst of his travels, he rushed over towards the crisis faced by his family and companions.” ~10th Anniversary Ultimania

9. Tifa is jealous of Cloud & Aerith’s relationship in both FFVII & AC:

“Both of them share feelings for Cloud —

Tifa was close to Aerith, who can also be called a love rival. With that point in mind, they were also good friends.

Nevertheless, it is not hard to imagine that she carries complex feelings as a woman toward Aerith, who had built up a special bond with Cloud that was different from Tifa’s. Tifa’s complicated feelings continue even in Advent Children, two years after Aerith had departed the world.” ~10th Anniversary Ultimania

“The thing which she is unable to hide in her irritation towards Cloud is the fact that he isn’t merely dragging the past around, but because that reason might perhaps be related to Aerith.

Final Fantasy VII: Seeing Cloud and Aerith developing their world together before her eyes, she inadvertently lets slip her peevish feelings.

Advent Children: Upon knowing that Cloud had been residing in Aerith’s Church after leaving the place they had been living in together, her expression becomes complex.” ~10th Anniversary Ultimania

10. In DoC, the furthest point in the compilation, Tifa is still referred to as Cloud’s “childhood friend” (which makes sense because Cloud & Tifa share zero moments of romance):

“Cloud’s childhood friend and a master of martial arts.” ~Tifa Lockhart DoC description

11. In DoC, Barret & Tifa are seen driving in a truck together. Barret returns to living with the Avalanche family:

“Currently he is living with Marlene, the orphaned child of his best friend…” ~DoC Official Complete Guide
