So it was decided that we go ahead and create a thread in regards to the LTD debate. This thread is open for any type of debating when it comes to the Love Triangle of FFVII. You can discuss from who Cloud was in love with the did Aerith really have feelings for Zack, etc...

I am going to put up a couple rules though in regards to this and this thread will be kept on watch to make for certain that there isn't any rule breaking in regards to the LTD.

1. Please please do not start flame wars because one person may enjoy one pairing over another. It's not right and then you get everyone fightning. Any insulting or flaming will result in verbal warning or infraction.

2. Keep an open mind. Allow the person to post their reasonings and please don't bash them for what they may feel, despite whether something may be canon or not. Don't be condescending.

3. Please do NOT post LTD threads down in the main part of the forum. That's what this is for! If we see any threads made, they will be closed and archived.

This is all I ask for in this thread. Now, ready, set debate!

uhhh...mmmm....
You can delete my post now after you see what an oopsie we both just made. ^.^

lol Rhea, I just noticed that. I'm so sorry! I went ahead and just archived it. I thought you had left my apologies.

Maybe we should have someone who is neutral towards both pairings moderate this thread?

Also guys, please don't bash the character you don't like/don't think Cloud loved. Not only is this a good way to start a nasty flame war and deviate everyone from the original topic, it really doesn't help prove you point and only makes it look like you are getting desparate to prove that your pairing is in fact cannon. And you'll probably come off a bit ignorant which will not help convince the other side of your opinions.

Fuck 'em. Cloud was gay with Seph, I think.

And here is why I think as such, Cloud was always a little sissy who did what Sephiroth said, like.. Giving him the black materia. Cloud would've given it to Tifa or Aerith (whichever he 'loves'), but no. And the crater part doesn't count because.. it's also gay with Cloud and Sephy.

Rydia, good idea I'm pretty neutral so I'll keep an eye out, you can as well if you'd like. Hinds, I seriously just rofl'd at that.

Actually, I'm kinda glad that this thread is so inactive!

I'll just state that I'm a Clifa ultimate. Whatever any Clerith says otherwise won't convince me, and I'm purdy darn sure I ain't gonna convince them.

So, with that being said, I won't even try to debate. No point. I won't really post, unless I want to correct a few glaring errors. But that's it. I've been through so many LTD's it's just not fun any more.

So how's this as an alternative? How about we Clifa's and you Clerith's make up your own ending? Heck, maybe you can post them here and debate over if the chars would really act that way. Hone your writing skills a bit, lol. That's how the LT was supposed to be anyways: you make up the ending. Sadly, it's only been raging LT wars.

I, however, am content with my own ending. I think everyone should be as well. Much better ending then what we have now. Maybe this way, we'll never have need of LTD threads.

I'm not a 'faithful supporter' of either of the two pairings. I think that Cloud is perfectly compatible with either Tifa or Aeris.

The way I see it...
Aeris and Cloud share a very friendly and outgoing relationship. She sort of drags him into her world with her free-spirited charm. I see Aeris in a very innocent light; but there's more than meats the eye. She's a very selfless and bold individual who's willing to go to great lengths for good reasons. It seems to me as if Cloud adopts some of these good attributes from her. The way I see it, Cloud's affection towards Aeris arises from his admiration towards her.

Tifa and Cloud share a strong and steady bond. Tifa casts a very motherly light over Cloud. She's his secret stronghold, his shoulder to lean on, and his most faithful friend. Her motherly connection with Cloud is very conformed and fitting. Their relationship, however, is very introverted and modest. Neither Cloud nor Tifa are the outspoken types to spill their feelings towards others. The way I see it, Cloud's affection towards Tifa arises from his appreciation towards her.

Oi, I agree completely, accept for the motherly thing..... but that's just me. Besides, Aerith and Tifa are best friends, right? That's because they're both very much alike. That means their personalitys are also very similar. So when you look at it, either one is perfectly compatible with Cloud. (Caith Sith can BITE me).
