Cloud Strife and Aerith
Gainsborough: Final Fantasy VII
• Sometimes love spans
decades, others only
last day, and in terms of
Cloud and Aerith it only
made it to the end of
disc one! While the
game is clearly setting
us up to believe that
Aerith, a flower seller, is
going to be the main
romantic interest for our
hero Cloud; no one
could have expected
such a sudden demise.
