"Tifa is such a damsel in distress. Cloud is always having to save her."
I would like the proper definition of a damsel in distress. Would that happen to be when you are distraught by the death of your mother and walk into the mountains alone to do some thinking, but a caring person worries about your well being and follows right behind you on that old decaying bridge because they want to make sure you don't get hurt? Or maybe being a damsel in distress is someone who tries to kill the murderer of your father after trying to destroy your hometown but unfortunately fail because of the murder's immense power? Perhaps a damsel in distress is someone who risks her life to find out the true nature of an overpowering pimp daddy somewhere in the slums to save the lives of the people around her. Oh yes, I also remember these so called distressful damsels staying at the side of their true love in their times of desperate need no matter what the circumstances around them. I guess there are just so many definitions! But I know one thing for sure, whining and running away begging for the help of a "body guard" while being chased by a group of unprepared soldiers is rather than confronted the enemy and your fear is certainly NOT a damsel in distress, wouldn't you agree?
"Cloud hates Tifa. She needs to get over him!"
Oh this is so true! Because I mean, Cloud would rather give his own life and throw himself into a committing army that infuses Mako into your body as permanent treatment and would most likely have side affects than stand next to Tifa and admit his feelings for her! And I mean any person can see that, right?
"Tifa was mean to Cloud when they were little. What a bitch!
::sigh:: Again, must I stress the fact that I want to see PROOF of this? Tifa was never mean to Cloud, she hardly knew him! She was always occupied with the other kids in town, because if anyone noticed, she was the only girl there? The guys basically dominated her and pushed Cloud out of the group before he even had a chance. But that doesn't mean she didn't think about him. When she fell from the bridge and regained conciseness she knew Cloud was with her, fell with her, worried about her. Doesn't seem much more obvious than that, what a total bitch! ::sarcastic::
"Tifa clings to Cloud all the time."
Who comes up with these things? Are they sure they're talking about the right person? I would like to see an instance where this happens! Maybe it's because people are a combination of being immature and too ignorant to play the game, perhaps that's why they don't understand anything about it. I don't remember seeing TIFA asking if Cloud and her were meant to be together..
"Tifa broke up Cloud and Aeris!"
……. Do I need to say much more than this? GIVE ME PROOF!!!! How the HELL did Tifa manage to do this, and when the hell did they become a couple? Oh wait, maybe it's when he secretly resurrected her body somewhere in the 3rd disk but I couldn't tell you exactly when he did that but it happened! Just like Tifa has breast implants, right!?
"Tifa didn't help Cloud at all in the lifestream. She just stood there and watched him put himself together."
If anyone wasn't so naïve and just plain stupid, for lack of better words, you would see that Tifa was CLEARLY a crucial part to Cloud's understand who he is. As Sephiroth tried to confuse Cloud and throw his entire life into haywire, he said that his memories were made up things consisting from parts of Tifa's memories, memories of a boy that could have been a "Cloud" that lived in the town when she was younger. But with Tifa there, who else would be able to see that his memories belonged to him and not made up? Who else but Tifa could have been there to be the ONLY one to encourage him and guide him to the parts of himself that were blocked off for so long. Who else but Tifa could have been the one that Cloud loved and based the course of his life around her, joining of SOILDER to prove his worthiness of love not to be unrelinquished, and virtually had his destiny centered around her. If not for Tifa, would Cloud have strived to be who he was, a someone risking his life for the others on the planet? Tifa is Cloud's other half, the half of everyone that can only be complete by your true love. They are meant for each other, as the various signs in the game point to. It only takes a little intelligence to see it ;)!
Note: May I also add about these myths that if you have to take the time to think of something SO ridiculous, you need to be taken away from any kind of great game and be forbidden to experience something so wonderful!
"Theres a character named Zell, I heard that Tifa and Cloud are Zell's grandmother and grandfather"
Well to be honest this wasn't a "fact" in anything, but it IS believed that Cloud & Tifa are probably related to Zell in some way, because Zell does look like Cloud, and has Tifa's martial arts skills(ie: Final Heaven limit break etc.). And Zell did in fact say he "wants to be like his grandfather who was a soldier". I'm sure it may mean something, but again no one said it for sure, I mean who knows, Zell could even be possibly Cloud & Tifa's son. But I never like to think of Tifa getting old with the term "grandmother" or Cloud "grandfather" LOL! But as my friend said before 'Zell is Squaresofts big joke of telling us that Cloud x Tifa got together', and I believe her all the way.
