First off, I must tell you while I feel that everyone has the right to support the pairing they like, there are some things you wrote that I don't agree with

[archica]

This is why I made absolute sure to use words like "might", "maybe", "could be", and "a possible reason". I wanted to point out that I'm not saying any of those theories about Cloud/Tifa are anything more than just that: personal theories. Everyone has their own way of interpreting a scene. This was mine. :D My only point is that, the fact that Square left so much to interpretation in the first places speaks enough for itself. I agree that commercial reasons were a part of it, but even so, it's telling fans that it's okay to look into other possibilities.

I certainly have no problem with Tifa (I like her a lot!), I just prefer her in other pairings. Like Rufus/Tifa.

No offense taken. We all have our opinions. :D

[fantasia0829]

I understand what you mean, but the reason you tried to justify the pairing is to convince others, isn't it? That's why I tried to tell you what I thought were flawed in your justification. By knowing what others may or may not accept as a valid point, you can then justify a pairing better, no?

I'm glad you're not offended. ^^ Sometimes people just don't take well to messages like that.

Oh, sorry. I misunderstood your comment. I didn't know you were attacking my "justification". I thought you were simply pointing out the way you viewed those scenes.

Would my manifesto have been more convincing if I had simply ignored the moments I personally viewed to lean toward Cloud/Yuffie in AC? Should I have left them out to avoid possibly offending a Cloud/Tifa fan? Your problem with my manifesto seems to be with the AC section. Maybe you think I completely warped AC to fit the Cloud/Yuffie pairing? Maybe I did. But as itsutsuboshi pointed out, fans of pairings like this one have to basically grasp at straws.

But at least Cloud/Yuffie had a kiss. I've seen way too many pairings who have nothing. And if I see something in AC and personally think "Hmm, that leans toward Cloud/Yuffie!" I'm certainly going to include it in a manifesto.

What seems "illogical" to you seems extremely logical to me. So apparently, not everyone is going to think the same way you do.

You have my love. XD

[archica]

Thanks! :D

[archica]

Yeeep. :DDDDD

I've always liked this pairing, it's refreshing when compared to the whole Cloud/Tifa/Aeris never-ending war. It's like, why not just take Yuffie and run far far away where the fangirls n' fanboys can't find you, Cloud? XDDD I also never cared much for canon or cold hard evidence, I mean, I'm a fan of things like Tifa/Vincent and Tifa/Reno for christ sake. XD Cute pairings, like this one, don't need to be canon. They're just that cute. ♥

[archica]

Thanks! I agree completely. I also like Rufus/Tifa, and there's pretty much no evidence for it. But I just think it would work, somehow. Some pairings just speak to you.

I never thought about this pairing before, but now I'm really curious! I completely forgot about Cloud and his weird airsickness cures.

[archica]

Glad I could spark your interest! And yeah, the airsickness thing was adorable. I think he really just wanted to see Yuffie do those crazy squatting motions. XD
