Does Cloti mean anything for you in real life?

Sentimental gush. Does Cloti hold some sort of significance or meaning to you in real life?

For inst. some cleriths like their ship because they lost a gf or close friend and identify with clouds loss after aerith died, so relate their own personal experience to the ship.

I feel like we wouldn't be having debates about cloti if it didn't resonate with us personally somehow.

Hmm... I don't know how to answer this but i guess I can say that Cloti represents the relationship I want to have someday, I guess. So it boils down again to the realistic element of this relationship - yes, they have a lot of downs but they went through them all together.

And I think I can relate to both Cloud and Tifa when it comes to their difficulty in expressing their feelings (about one another) outwardly. In short, it kind of helps me placate myself? As in, yeah, expressing your feelings are important but sometimes, you don't really need to. What's more important is what you do to show how you feel.

I mean, I don't like the idea of being a hopeless romantic but I am secretly a hopeless romantic. And I think this is what Cloti is. They are romantic but not in an outward way. And I guess in the context of my (love) life, I would be more at place in this sort of relationship.

I don't know if i make sense at all! HAHA but I rest my case :p

Well one, it's unhealthy to constantly mourn the loss of someone.

Anyway for me, I'd say it's because cloti is so genuine. They share a strong bond without being all hollywood gushy sex love. When they have misunderstandings with each other they never fight or bicker really.

In movies I always see this couple who seem like they just have a sexual relationship or when they get together it just feels so FORCED and fake. With cloti it's just really well done because the way they are portrayed aren't as people who fall in love eventually and then fuck.

They're portrayed as best friends who don't learn to love each other, they're best friends who have always loved each other but never realized the other felt that way. They NEVER play the blame game which I feel is amazing. And they NEVER hold resentment for each other.

They communicate without words and make a kickass tag-team, they have chemistry for days, and basically it's this relationship I think everyone should WANT in their romantic relationship: which is...they aren't JUST your lover/girlfriend/wife they're your BEST friend too.

Ditto to what queenie and Justice said. Cloti is an amazing pairing and they fit so well together. :cloti: As for applying it to real life, I have a friend that I wasn't really close with but he had this insanely HUGE crush on me but being the idiot that I was I rejected him and it makes me feel guilty. Still do, and I kind of regret not taking any of the "offers" my guy friends gave me back in middle school. Seeing that Cloud and Tifa didn't really hang out but they grew apart and found each other again in VII just gives me hope that it could happen for me. I know that sounds farfetched but a girl can dream 😚

If anything Cloti is just another factor in improving my art skills since recently whenever I feel like sketching a quick doodle it's usually Cloud or Tifa or both xP
My initials are C.A.T as in Cat, so just call me that.

I think a part of me which lacked an ideal family life sees Cloti and kind of gets a bit of hope at human relationships again? It just has so much substance. It's not fleeting and shallow like a lot of romance stories are. There's something deep which grounds them and keeps them together to the point of making a family together. Which a lot of people take for granted. It's really hard to maintain a family.

I also relate to how shy and cute they are. I relate to the whole not being able to express your feelings thing irl so I guess that's also another way they make me feel hopeful because they finally ended up together XD

Although... I hope when the time comes it doesn't take me 7 years like them lol

This is an interesting question! I don't know what it is about cloti but I feel like their story is so natural and realistic. There's a quote that pretty much sums up cloti!

"If two people are meant for one another, that doesn't mean that they have to rush and be together right away. Real love takes time to grow, just like how it takes time for children to grow into adults"

These answers are really sweet !!!

Cloti holds appeal to me because they are classy and humble, does that make sense. In this culture where people are flaunting their lives and relationships on social media and trying to gain publicity, it's different to see a couple (whether real or not hehe :D) mind their own business to put it nicely. Cloti is the type of pair that would wait half a year before making it 'facebook official' and even then they'd be secretive. I feel like the strongest couples are secure in themselves and don't need to make grand gestures to convince everyone that they're happy together. Take my relative for e.g. Haven't seen one gushy post about her love life till today "thank you for 21 years of marriage" - it looked almost sacred. Cloti is so modest that they won't even let us see them make out.

It's funny you mention that Terra, my boyfriend and I have been together for four and half years,we don't do all this grand stuff like people THINK you're suppose to do. The only time I do anything "grand" on facebook is when our anniversary comes around and I say, "I have been with the most amazing person since I was seventeen. Could not ask for a better person to be with <3" I mean we hold hands when we go out and a quick kiss when we're out, but nothing cringe worthy xD. We're very secure and I can assure you, we're madly in love despite what my friends think. x) We like our privacy and don't feel the need to blast it to the world. Sorry, I got on my soapbox >__<

I feel like that's part of the reason why I love cloti so much, they're modest and do not scream that they are in love. I also feel like Zerith has a good balance with that as well despite them being so young when they met (:

It's funny that you guys mention they don't show it off. They hold it deep in their hearts yet their entire team knows AND got a front row viewing. I'm dead. Poor Cloti lol or well poor Tifa... Cloud didn't seem to mind >///<
