#cloud tifa

the game shows us how it’s tifa

barret mentions his important reason being marlene and so he goes and spends the last night with her

cloud doesn’t specify who, only mentions that he does have an important reason, and goes on to spend the last night with tifa...

and its funny to think that there are 2 variants of this night but both of them he spends with tifa. you would think a game where the romance is ‘optional’ they’d give the second outcome to the other girl in the love triangle

he surely could have gone to the forgotten capital or anywhere he associates with aerith but instead he mentions how there is no place for him to go (other than wherever tifa is)

memories

and since cloud doesn’t specify what personal memory it is... lets break it down

1- aerith

it’s pretty sweet but he mentions in front of the entire party. not how cloud described as ‘very personal’

actually not even a little personal because soon after, everyone joins in saying how they too remember aerith

why does her memory suddenly become personal in his speech, when he had no issue bringing it up to the same people before?

2- tifa

1 - a memory shared between *only* the two of them

2 - its indicated how personal it is within the text it self “no one can ever know” matches up with “ a very personal memory that i have”
