@I_Am_Justice : Well said! I like how you explain their love in details! I, too, don't understand when someone say they're unlikely a couple.

Yay! I like it when it's recognized that Cloti is ideal in many ways. i'm so used to seeing the argument that they are a realistic couple...well yes in some ways, but not all. Their unyielding love and relentless devotion to each other IS the stuff of dreams. Who can say that their partner started tring to protect them at 6 years old? How many people can guarantee that their (very beautiful) girlfriend will stay by their side when they break down mentally or become physically incapacitated?

And again (gods this is hard to admit) because there are also realistic elements in the Cloti relationship, it actually gives me hope that their loving bond is possible to imitate and achieve in this world. Dont know if anyone else can relate, but to me Cloti dynamic is somewhere between reality and aspiration in terms of achievablilty.

There's just so much to love about Cloti! It's the FF pairing that completely captured my heart.

I love that their relationship was already on a foundation. Their story isn't JUST about falling in love, it's about friendship too.

The most important part of their relationship is that bond, that loyalty they have to each other that will NEVER disappear.


Like, in another world, another life, that bond and loyalty I feel would never disapear. Even if they weren't romantically involved, Tifa will ALWAYS hold that special place in Cloud's heart.


For example, let's just humor the claim Cloud and Aerith are lovers, yet Tifa is the only one Cloud opened his heart to, that Cloud only cares for her opinion, and that she brought him a peace he never experienced before.

Cloud and Tifa's romance, their entire relationship is NOT shallow. I do not define them as "oh romantic!" because their love is not the shallow love story of these two people who "just love each other" they are everything love embodies.

Friendship, loyalty, selflessness, love. They are all of that and more, and that is exactly why I love Cloti. It's COMPLEX and complicated in all the right ways.


Cloti is the definition of actions speak louder than words. They have that whole thing of "no words" I mean Tifa even says "Words aren't the only way to convey your feelings"

That IS cloti.

Every morning Cloud got up to get the ingrediants without being asked, he's saying "I love you"

When Tifa stayed behind with comatose Cloud to take care of him, she's saying "I love you"


Only Cloud and Tifa's love is much deeper than that familial love, that platonic love, it goes way deeper to the point EVERYONE can see it.


They are friends, lovers, and allies in combat. It's a very multi-dimensional romance portrayed in a beautiful way and I LOVE that about them.

I also have a thing for cute shy dorks.

^Awesome. I'm very much with you about how they're all about actions and not words. Though maybe sometimes they need assurance with words. (i.e Tifa asking "Do you love me?")

@Terra-byte : Anyway, about their love starting from 6 year olds, protecting at the age of 8, keeping their love from childhood, and all that, I think I've mentioned it already in my post. I think that is why I love their relationship, you see, it's not a fairy tale love in terms of everything's butterflies and rainbows and all that. But it IS a fairy tale, a dream-come-true, I'd say, because of all that childhood moments. Also, how they meet unexpectedly is very serendipitious. Now, I've always liked those stuffs related to serendipity. While I started to realize that love is not all beautiful, I still believe that some things are like in fairy tales (fate, destiny, unexpected pleasant surprise/serendipity), right? While being realistic, they are the kinda of couple I'd be jealous of in real life. For their history seemed unrealistic/hard to achieve, yet we know later on that they also face hardships. And from those hardships we know why they stick to each other. If I were Cloud or Tifa, I'd have this feeling that my significant other (Cloud/Tifa) deserves better than me. But I'd also have the feeling that after all I'd been through with him/her, no one would understand me better or bear to stay with me.

And trust me, I actually have heard a story quite similar to theirs (childhood friends/crush, separated, united, remained together, unexpected meetings, etc, etc)
Although these two stories I've heard both end up quite sad; the man died young, the other cheated due to feel bored with one woman all his life.
But I don't think it's entirely impossible. I just think those kinds of men (and women) are rare. Even if there are, they were probably cheated/hurt before turning as bad as mostly are. It needs both a guy and a girl as good-natured as Cloud and Tifa to make this come true. All comes to fate, too, apparently. @.@

@vynele I was intending to say something like, it takes two to tango for a loving bond like the cloti one to last. Since you already said it..well i agree.
It's kind of amazing that Cloud kept his good hearted nature, after all the shit hes been put through he may have turned out to be a cold jerk. Even with Tifa who has been emotionally hurt -sometimes women decide that loving is too painful and its easier to be a b*tch.

Yup, its the type of r/ship youd envy IRL. Just imagine going through life knowing theres always someone who has your back both as a friend (like iamjustic said) and as a lover. Cries.

@Terra-byte : Yeah like what I_Am_Justice said, it's really lovely to see a couple who are both best friends and lovers. Hahhaa, and of course it takes two to tango and we all know that Tifa turned out to have feelings for Cloud as well. She kept searching for him in newspapers. I don't think it's just because she wants this cool guy. I mean, it's not even proven yet that Cloud becomes cool. I like to believe that she was also interested in Cloud but didn't really know how to approach him since he was like a loner and he even picked fights with other kids.

I'm a bit late in jumping into this thread but i thought i might as well do it since I've written some here on other FF couples. This is a Cloti forum after all! I wrote my reasons quite a lot in tumblr, and others might have underlined the same reasons, so this may be quite repetitious.

For starters, I just want to admit that I'm a person who is skeptical of a relationship that starts at a young age, as in I don't think it's possible to love someone for so long since you're a child or since you're in high school even. So, Cloti was quite a task to understand in the beginning. I thought it's always been one-sided, with Tifa the only one who's in love with Cloud after all these years. But then re-examining what the producers had to say (i.e. the official materials) and taking note of the chronological events taking place between them throughout the series, Cloti makes sense and it's there. It's quite useless to deny it lol. Although it probably just started as a childhood crush, it grew. I mean, with Cloud probably still the 16-year-old Cloud when he reunited with Tifa and what they've been through together in the OG, and then with CoF and A/C, their feelings must have certainly grew and it's clearly implied. So the Cloti story is a long process with a lot of developments overtime and I love it.

Next, that childhood promise. Following the point I just made above, it's expected that I didn't take this sort of 'specialty' about Cloud and Tifa seriously. And the idea is too cheesy for my taste but I grew to love it. Mainly because this promise was often fulfilled in an unspoken way; one can perceive it without it being mentioned. For example, Cloud saving Tifa from the falling building in A/C - it automatically reminded me of their promise. This therefore leads to another lovable fact about Cloti: they are protective and supportive of one another - as a friend or more than a friend, as one would prefer to look at it. They've always been there for one another.

With all that being said, let me just state the obvious and common consesus: it's realistic, especially the portrayal in CoF and A/C because a relationship isn't all sugar, spices and everything nice. They certainly don't label themselves as a pairing in a romantic relationship, but it certainly was implied that it's almost like a marriage. So it's normal to have a downturn, with them coping with what happened in OG and the geostigma.

And please, can we talk about the way they talked with one another sometimes?

Quote:
 
Tifa (to Cloud, FFVII OG): "Words aren't the only way to tell someone how you feel."

(Excerpt from CoF)
“After this … I think I’ll be okay.”
Cloud was silent for a long time before he spoke again.
“Because I have you this time.”
“You’ve always had me.”
“What I mean is kind of different,” Cloud answered with another smile.

If those don't turn one into a mush, then what is?!!

Ok, now that I've almost literally compiled my reasons, I want to apologize for the long ass post! This turned out longer than I planned

There's a lot of reasons I LIKE Cloti but the reason I ended up shipping them is simply because they are endgame.
