FF7 Rebirth Devs Tease Cloud's Romantic Destiny

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Developers Weigh In on Cloud's Love Triangle

The enduring love triangle between Cloud, Tifa, and Aerith in the Final Fantasy 7 series continues to ignite passionate debate among fans. Even with Aerith's tragic fate in the original game, the dynamic between Cloud and both women remains a central point of discussion, amplified by Final Fantasy 7 Advent Children, the Remake, and now Rebirth.

Recent interviews shed light on the developers' perspective. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth producer Yoshinori Kitase and director Naoki Hamaguchi discussed new scenes featuring Cloud and Aerith, including a dreamlike "date." Hamaguchi described the scene as open to interpretation, acknowledging the diverse fan reactions and contrasting views on whether Cloud's relationship with Aerith or Tifa is more significant. He suggests Aerith’s role is more akin to a supportive, sisterly figure, guiding Cloud towards his destiny, given her awareness of her own fate.

Kitase, the director of the original Final Fantasy 7, offered a contrasting viewpoint, playfully commenting that Cloud is a "lucky guy" to be deeply considered by two women. This remark fuels the ongoing fan speculation regarding the romantic possibilities with both Aerith and Tifa. The differing perspectives between Hamaguchi and Kitase might reflect the evolution of the story and characters over the years.

Regardless of fan preferences, the enduring passion surrounding Cloud's relationships highlights the lasting impact of the original game. The upcoming third installment of the Final Fantasy 7 remake trilogy will undoubtedly offer further insight into these complex dynamics.
