"do i get a say in all this?"

I just really don’t see the point of the entire story if Cloud and Aerith really meant nothing to each other.

I guarantee there is not a single piece of ‘evidence’ against Cloud x Aerith that I haven’t heard before. My favorite is that Cloud and Tifa had a realistic slow burn romance. Realistic? Bro, it’s realistic that your first crush grew up to be attractive and so did you? I don’t even share who my first crush was. Spoiler alert: he liked to dress in Halloween costumes any day of the year. I certainly am not looking to reconnect with him. A romance between Cloud and Tifa is no more ‘realistic’ than a relationship between Cloud and Aerith. Nor, does it really have to be. Fantasy is literally in the name of the game.
