The guidebook mentions Cloud's childhood crush on Tifa. Shippers hyper-fixate on
to:
The guidebook mentions Cloud\'s childhood crush on Tifa. Shippers hyper-fixate on \"crush\" and ignore the adjectives that show his feelings weren\'t serious.
High Affection Highwind scene has quotes shippers interpret to be romantic, regardless it\'s still an optional scene that hasn\'t been dubbed \"canon\". Tifa\'s pages usually focus on the \"romantic\" version of the scene, but the same pages also stress that it is an OPTIONAL outcome, something that shippers tend to ignore.
Relying on guidebooks to determine a story\'s \"canon\" outcome is such a flawed method in itself, anyway. Written materials -- e.g. tie-in stories, sequels, etc. -- should be able to speak for themselves. For example, nobody can deny that Korra and Asami got together at the end of [=LoK=] Season 4 due to the creators not only making the outcome very clear in various interviews, but also by publishing the sequel comic \'\'Turf Wars\'\' which directly confirms it.
Square Enix, in contrast, has intentionally designed [=FF7=]\'s accompanying sequel, \'\'Advent Children\'\' along with \'\'Case of Tifa\'\' to portray Cloud\'s relationship with her as vague at best. Cloud especially remains cold and distant towards Tifa throughout [=CoT=], making any shared \"romantic\" affections between the two of them entirely up to one\'s own personal interpretation.
That \"list\" of FF couples also includes Cloud and Aerith, btw. The only thing it really acknowledges is that both Aerith and Tifa are valid love interests of Cloud\'s, not who ends up with whom.
