Cloud and Tifa were a couple and very happy. I’m genuinely surprised by some of the comments on here. Sources: The quotes about Cloud realizing what his promised land was, the gnostic themes of the story, the overal themes of the game and movie, the short about Tifa closing the bar early, the kids are alright, and a bunch of other small stuff. Now focusing on the future instead of the past. He returns to the 7th heaven, which is a reference to the gnostic final heaven, aka, the promised land, and starts living his life, being there for his family. He finally becomes who he always wants to be, someone who can protect those he loves. Since Cloud has finally moved on, so can they.īy doing all this Cloud finds a healthy balance, where he can accept his failures and who he is, this in turn gives him the mindset needed to be a hero in the future, to do better, and be the kind of person who can fulfill his promise to Tifa. This arc is then finalized in Advent children, by the end Cloud allows himself to forgive himself, in doing so he not just awknowledges the past, but accepts it, allowing him let it go and focus on the future.īy doing this he allows Aerith and Zack to finally rest, symbolized by him planting Aeriths flowers on Zacks grave and placing Zacks bustersword in Aeriths church, now shining instead of rusting, he lets the past be beautiful, and as a result will likely never see Aerith or Zack again afterwards. At first he tried to forget his failures, but when he is forced to face them he overcompensates and the pendulum swings the other way. In FFVII Cloud is ashamed of his failures and weakness, but by the end he stops running from his past and his failures, then in advent children he takes the next step by dwelling in them. That has been Clouds dream from childhood, to be the sort of powerful hero that people, and specifically Tifa, can rely on. He finds his "promised" land, that being the state of being where he is in balance, in his case, literally the state self he needs to be in in order to fulfill "the promise".
