Secret Cloud & Aerith Cutscene | Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth

Even if you don't date Aerith, it's still always about her. I love it 😂❤

Cloud is so obvious "DO NOT MEET OTHER MEN"

That ‘Stop it!’ was so out of line and unexpected 😂 like, chill Cloud, she is not leaving you and the gang.

Cloud is constantly in bodyguard mode with Aerith its adorable

Sometimes Cloud can be so oblivious. SHE WAS OBVIOUSLY TALKING ABOUT YOU BRO!!!

Aerith is the best thing about Rebirth.

I love Aerith so much. Bri really made her the best character in the game by giving her such a lovable personality with her absolutely stellar voice acting.

Cloud my boy... even Aerith in the cutscene with Jessies portrait says it - you young man still got a lot to learn.

You see there’s a simple explanation for this. Aerith is best girl.

One thing I noticed was how a lot of the affinity conversations are like this too!! Aerith’s seemed much more cinematic, like at costa del sol you take little walk on the beach and at cosmo canyon it’s her big speech, at nibelheim you climb the water tower, they have have more movement and often, more personal and deeper subject matter while the others you seem to just stand there.

The way Aerith sways while talking, ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE!

Aerith literally steals the show with all of her scenes. Cloud and Aerith just pop on screen. #clerithforeva

This scene happens too when you're with Tifa but it's hilarious to me because she's like, well you heard the man Aerith! And I'm like, girl, he's on a date with YOU and foaming at the MOUTH about ANOTHER GIRL in front of you! STAND UP. But yeah, you get the same exact convo, but the girls laugh him off. But him being solo, it's much more animated and much better. His jealously is a lot more obvious too.

Another semi-related fun fact is that if Cloud is with Aerith Tifa's dialogue changes. She says she feels a headache coming lmao. While if Cloud is with Tifa in this scene, Aerith's dialogue is the same for the most part, it only changes at the start where she looks at them both and makes sure they aren't fighting lol. The contrast

This scene is even better with Tifa. If Tifa is with him, he’ll try to get Tifa on his side to convince Aerith to not make new friends. Cloud is an absolute little jealous cutie pie in this scene 😊.

i always love cloud and aerith!!!

It's so clear in this scene and many others just how much more love and attention Aerith got by the devs. So many scenes with her and Cloud compared to Cloud talking to anyone else are just straight up more involved. More animation, more cinematography, etc. And like, in this instance, the game is going out of its way to promote Clerith when she's NOT the player's highest affinity. Outside of Tifa's one moment in Gongaga (which appeared to be just her going for the kiss, Cloud was a statue) no one gets this kind of focus and romantic attention when they're NOT the player's statistical favorite. But looking at optional content outside the two dates, Aerith has this moment, the sidequest where you literally go on a date, the sidequest where you watch the stars and take pictures together, plus a truckload of non-optional stuff from the main story! How can people deny Aerith is the canon choice?

Nothing against Tifa/Cloud lovers, but yall had 20+ years to properly celebrate your ship. Remake/Rebirth series is 110% for the Clerith fans 💕

I looove how much they put effort into the animation here. It's amazing! Also during my playthrough I noticed that when you were able to talk to your teammates and better the relationships with them, Aerith often had a very special and long cutscene. For example in Kalm you go on a date with her, in Costa del Sol you walk on the beach with her and in Cosmo Canyon, well it's all about Aerith there 😅 oh and Gongaga of course was special. Devs really gave a lot of love to her 💗

Guys, Rebirth is/was Aeriths swans song. There was going to be emphasis, deep character development and moments with her. That’s how they sell the emotional attachment.
