Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Date Scene Reignites 26-Year 'Love Triangle' Debate
-
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth shows a scene where Cloud kisses Tifa during a date at the Gold Saucer, shocking fans who have wanted this for 26 years.
-
The game originally fueled a "love triangle" debate between Cloud/Tifa ("Cloti") and Cloud/Aerith ("Clerith") fans. Rebirth brings this debate back.
-
Cloud can go on a date with whichever character he has the closest bond with. The Tifa date features a romantic kiss scene.
-
Fans are shocked since Cloud has never kissed another character before. This suggests his bond with Tifa is special.
-
Still some ambiguity remains since players can nurture bonds differently. Aerith fans also get sweet moments with Cloud. Rebirth overall develops the women's friendship.
