Years later and i still love this amv

she ask the impossible

i mean who wouldnt

I don't know if I have my japanese wrong, but I believe I heard the words "blue" and "bike" in the japanese lyrics🎌

Do you plan on making a rebirth version of this or nah

Ah yes, ff7 fandom and lack of media literacy. So glad videos like these exist, maybe more people will think a little deeper on the things the story is actually telling them. Great video.

Cloud and Aerith are the ship.😭 This video is proof. I feel like in rebirth they messed the writing up. They don’t know what ship they want to go with. Its weird because Cloud bonds so much with Aerith then in the second game kisses Tifa like what is going on. 💀 Its like all the bonding and lore and everything they went through the writers just forgot about it and suddenly now its Cloud and Tifa. 😭 the writing is so bad im sorry💀 the devs of final fantasy cater this game towards loser men who want goofy anime love triangle harem waifu stuff and cloud the protagonist is out here messing around with two different women😭☹️💀 (thats my take tbh) Not all players are losers but based on what ive seen😭 there’s definitely a pattern though because what. 😕 Like how are you gonna set up Cloud and Aerith together so much lore and bonding and everything then suddenly switch it to Cloud and Tifa like what😭 Its so confusing and makes no sense. My only answer would have to be its just losers (no offense to anyone im not trying to eb mean) Who have weird fantasies idk💀 no wonder why its called final fantasy. 😞 yea they need to keep it at final😭

I can't believe this video is 4 years old and there are ppl that are again saying this shit... but again, they're like this for decades... they just don't want to admit Cloud is his own person with his own feelings and memories and they don't want to admit he actually LOVES Aeris. Thank you so much Pollen, I love all your videos :) and this complicit relationship series is wholesome 💗

wow ok, I'm not a fan of this game, but was confused by cloud being loved by two girls, now this clip made it clear who really loved him and who was under the influence of his "change."

Recall the tender words Cloud’s mother once shared with him, describing the kind of woman who would be the perfect match to walk beside him. Those words her said: ""I've never been so proud The man you've become.. Woman must be hounding you day and night. You know, there's all kinds of temptations in the big city. I'd feel alot better if i knew you'd found a good girl-one who'd make sure you didnt get into trouble. An older, more mature girl that could keep you on the straight and narrow-and tell you when you're being a silly goose That's the perfect type for you, i'd say" In my heart, I know those words paint a flawless picture of Aerith-a truth so evident, it leaves no room for doubt. Cloud and Aerith, their destinies intertwined as if crafted by the stars themselves. Yet, the question remains-whether they can truly be together lingers unanswered, shrouded in the heavy mist of fate

I don't see anything from this game that makes me think Cloud wants to be with Aerith. All I see is a desperate lonely girl that is missing her boyfriend. Cloud tried to leave her house and go on about his business. Your interpretations of their conversations are misleading and inaccurate.

6:43 so close she could almost kiss him It breaks my heart knowing what happens in the end of the first part of the game. I wish they can give us a satisfying ending with Cloud and Aerith. By replaying the scenes I see the differences between Cloud being with Aerith and Tifa

I like to think that the reason he told Barret to take Aerith somewhere safe was because he didn't want her in a place that holds all her trauma that no one wants to relive.

It always confuses me how some people can be so against light teasing in a relationship. I know it's partially a cultural thing and many American folks seem to think it's a sign of disrespect, but it's not. It grounds us, it allows us to be completely honest with one another and it also inspires us to be better people and ultimately, makes us happy through laughter. Aerith and Cloud are a perfect example of this.

I do love these two but now Zack alive ... I'm back to team Zack/Aerith.

I still need rebirth!!!

I get you, Buddy 😢. I also have my Aerith

Just binged through your all your content and I love all the details you pick up on! just wondering if you could add rebirth analysis' too

Love your channel! Come back and make more videos of cloud and aerith 😢😢😢😢❤

I do believe you Aerith, I just really, really want that material!

It is amazing to see Cloud's change, and all this happens because Aerith is there for him, causing her influence to make him a better person.

It's impressive how Cloud's body language shows us how important Aerith is to him, in addition to starting to change and do things he would never have done.

4 years later and still no part 4 or Rebirth vids. I hope you're doing well. This series felt like the scene in Ratatouille where the critic is taken back to their childhood.

Seriously, trigger warning? Afraid to offend some Clotzies?

She died she is not canon lol😂

Pollen Ainne... I haven't played any game, but watching part of it from a Twitch stream made me interested in one thing: Aerith. This person stuck in my brain, it really took just a few moments for me to like her. I haven't played it but I'm in love with Aerith. I also researched Tifa for being the most popular, but it's not the same for me. Thanks to your videos I now know that the path I would take would be with Aerith. No regrets. Looking forward and moving forward. In the end it's about how I connected with this story, so it's my decision, right? Thank you so much!!

I love how you said enough of tifa XD My thoughts exactly every time she is in a cutscene.

Tifa on all fours inside that carriage, with that huge cleavage, and Cloud looking her straight in the yes will never not be funny lol

Nobody will ever read this, but it's important to note that Cloud's personality in Acts 1 and 2 of the OG is so similar to 'revived' Cloud in Act 3 that discussion of any differences is essentially academic. Revived Cloud is slightly less cocky, and a bit more self-effacing, but the Cloud we see in Acts 1 + 2 is, for all intents and purposes, 'true Cloud.' When people talk about Aerith loving Cloud because she thinks he's Zack, or is too similar to Zack, it's an enormous red flag that they don't understand two critical points: 1) Zack in the OG is basically a non-character - he has like 10 lines of dialogue in total. It isn't at all clear what he's like. His only purpose in the story is to serve as a model for Cloud to mimic (mostly in body language) and a driver for the '5 years ago' part of the plot. And 2) even in the OG, Aerith is very clear that, while she still thinks about Zack and wonders what happens to him, she has moved on (she is even more explicit about this in Remake and Rebirth, flat-out telling Cloud in the latter that she has fallen in love with him). Cloud's illness is defined by a) his obsession with Sephiroth, and inability to grasp the meaning of or avoid the Reunion (and thus hand Sephinova the black materia), and b) refusing to acknowledge the enormous gaps in his own memory. He isn't living Zack's life - he's just using Zack's existence as 'generic soldier first class' to prop up his battered ego and block confronting the horrors of having been Hojo's test subject. That's it. This makes narrative sense, since it would be disconcerting if, upon his retrieval from the lifestream, Cloud turned into a completely different character. The writers in the OG knew they couldn't do this - it would be like permakilling the hero, and inserting a doppelganger into his place. So Cloud mostly just is who he is throughout the tale, albeit with some slight tweaks. Cloud throughout the story is the 'real' Cloud. He's just slightly confused about his past and motives for 2/3rds of the story. Thus, even in the OG (and certainly in Remake/Rebirth), the person that Aerith is falling for is Cloud - not 'Zack' or 'Cloud's interpretation of Zack.'

Would love to see part IV along w/new videos that look at the developments from Rebirth. Can't wait for the third game.

Since the game has those options that can make you have a different outcome depending on your choices, why cant it be the same for love interests? Cmon tifa and cloud KISSED i aint denying they're relationship but people shouldn't deny Aeriths and clouds too

Is part 4 ever coming? 😢 Also, new to ff7 and know enough about the lore and im obsessed with this coiple depsite never playing the game. Anyways, whats this whole thing about rebirth i see everyone mention???

That title, I agree. Aerith is life. And Cloud looks like he's in a garage band with some other boys.

Even though Aerith is dead, we have proof that Aerith and Cloud love each other and that gives me peace.

All these moments they shared are so beautiful. I bet none of the true clerith fans would swap those with one kiss that doesnt have weight in the story plot 😊

They're gonna turn out to be cousins. Ya'll nasty.

I am really excited for your rebirth analyze looking forward to it keep up the good work 👏❤️

Hey, came here after a grief state post rebirth and loved your videos. You should increment these series considering the events from the new game. There's a lot more to cover and the cloti folks are coming with Full force

Even after rebirth people still are into this nonsense, specialy to invalidate cloud and aerith's feelings in the "dream date. I think you should do a new series of this vídeos considering rebirth. There's a Lot more to cover and the cloti people are getting really toxic

Aerith❤️‍🩹sie passt zu Cloud. Die nimmt und mag ihn,wie er ist

I hope you don't mind me re-visiting this particular topic, even though it's been years. So I am in agreement with the premise of the video that Cloud and Tifa were not close friends in childhood, which was revealed in the Lifestream. But what may be overlooked from Pollen's interpretation of the sequence is how Tifa played no small part in keeping up the appearance of being 'childhood friends' with Cloud until the Lifestream showed otherwise. Though to be fair, Pollen (and some commenters) made some the same points I'm going to make in the Zacloud Fallacy video. I want to try and be clear with my language in making the following claims. I don't think Tifa was intentionally deceiving Cloud for her own ends; this isn't a case of her lying to him about their relationship as kids when she knew that the reality was quite different. This feels more like her... how do I put this... imagining herself to be closer to Cloud as children than the actual reality after The Promise she got from him (about him being a SOLDIER and saving her if she ever was in danger)... and believing what she tells herself on the subject. To try and put this in as neutral a term as possible, she misled Cloud about the nature of their childhood relationship and she didn't even know she was misleading him. In hindsight, I don't think enough has been made of her (unintentional) deception or this keeping up the appearance of 'childhood friends', because it could explain why Cloud and Tifa's relationship feels so tense sometimes in the game(s) -- and in a bad way. Their desire to have banter and small talk that resemble close childhood friends FAR outpaces their actual ability to do so. It's not just a matter of them being shy and introverted (though that was certainly a factor); even if they weren't, they know so little about each other that there are very few common memories of childhood that could emotionally connect them in a good way. The only old memory I could think of that wasn't a negative experience was The Promise, which is doing a ton of work in convincing both that they had a significant and meaningfully positive relationship growing up. If you are just looking at their common memories before the start of the game, they include what Sephiroth did at Nibelheim (which is obviously scarring to the both of them) and their climb up Mount Nibel (which is also a bad experience for the both of them). The fact that Tifa unintentionally misled Cloud, in making him think he's her childhood friend, could also explain why their relationship continues to be rocky after the OG, AC, DoC and perhaps beyond. Even if you take away the grief and depression that comes from Aerith's death (which was something that obviously weighed heavily on Cloud), by Case of Tifa Cloud knows full well that he was living with a woman who passed herself off as his close childhood friend when she was only his acquaintance/neighbour in the village. I dunno, even if one takes the wider context or the legitimately good reasons why she did so (like her looking out for Cloud when she sees that he isn't alright when they first met and that his memories are jumbled), that just feels like a major betrayal of trust that will likely take years and years and years to rebuild (if at all). Cloud will obviously have his good days with her, but in the back of his mind he will always wonder what else she is keeping from him, what else she might not remember clearly that would come back to haunt them, or what else she isn't telling him. He still cares for her and doesn't wish ill on her, but there will always be that undercurrent of suspicion on his end. If you'd allow me to quote myself from a different video: 'That's why I think he [Cloud] continued to long for Aerith, at the end of OG and through to Advent Children. Things are far less complicated with Aerith. Cloud knows where he stands with her and vice versa'. I wonder if the Remake Trilogy is going to focus on Tifa's role in the misleading impression that she was childhood friends with Cloud, the consequences that come from keeping up that appearance, and her having to answer for it in some shape or form. In the OG, Cloud admits that he was living in an illusion of his own making. But now that I really think about it with the evidence I have on hand, he wasn't the only one... and that other person never had to come to terms on the matter.

I absolutely love your videos regarding Cloud and Aerith. Many people still wish to ship Cloud with Tifa, and that is okay if that is what they want to do. But I truly believe, just like you do, Cloud truly loves Aerith and she loves him. Cloud never loved anyone before and always pushed people away and put up his defenses, never letting anybody in. Being rejected and never fitting in as he grew up, he formed a protective barrier that kept people out. Tifa is also outside that barrier with Avalanche and everyone else. Aerith alone broke those barriers and saw the true Cloud.... a terrified, guarded, emotionally wounded troubled soul who just wanted to be accepted and loved like everyone else. Those that he grew up around always rejected him and made him feel like he was never wanted, just like it was depicted with Tifa and Avalanche rejecting him again and he didn't care because that is what he was used to. Aerith, being a powerful empath and a genuinely good hearted person, saw this in Cloud. She did not do this out of pity and sympathy, but she saw the person underneath all of those protective layers and wanted to love him and make him feel accepted and that he mattered to her just being who he was. He did not have to join SOLDIER or go out of the way to impress her. She loved him for him. I will always believe this to be the true canon. The Final Fantasy VII remake is a love story between cloud and aerith.

09:30 Jessie even seems to care and understand Cloud more than Tifa

Bro are you still alive. Rebirth cameout where are your videos

I don't think Aerith's & Cloud's relationship is complicit. In the real world Zack have already died 5yrs ago so someday Aerith would have to move on with her life & b happy again & shud stop grieving & mourning in Zack's memory bcoz that wud'nt make him come back. So Aerith's & Cloud's special bond is valid & the feeling's they have for each other wud b accepted by other's too.

OMG COVER REBIRTH!!! Please.

Ugh… watching this after rebirth ending… I can’t 😢
