We know it's canon that Aeris loves Cloud. (Read this post for more on that.) But typically, Cloud's feelings are considered to be a matter of interpretation (and the game's built-in affection mechanics.) So, do we have any official evidence that Cloud loves Aeris? Take a look at just some of the evidence of Cloud's … Continue reading A Compilation of Cloud Canonically Loving Aerith
The music in Final Fantasy VII is emotional, entrancing, and reflects the game's story while adding special context of its own. Between the original game and Remake, sometimes the message is nuanced, sometimes conspicuous. Since Cloud and Aerith's relationship is a huge element to the game's story, it's no surprise that there are many (and … Continue reading Clerith and Music: All Songs Representing Cloud and Aerith
With the announcement of Radiant Melodies, a new soundtrack coming early 2023, it seems like a great time to look at some of the previous Final Fantasy VII soundtracks.

Source In both cases, a noun is added to this adjective. The first … Continue reading Aerith is Cloud’s “Cherished” Person – A “Taisetsu Na” Compilation
In honor of the Final Fantasy 30th Anniversary in 2018, from January 22 to February 28, Square Enix held a “Farewell Stories Exhibition” at the Mori Arts Center Gallery in Roppongi Hills, Tokyo.

Final Symphony, an officially licensed Square Enix concert series, first debuted in 2013. Featuring music from Final Fantasy VI, Final Fantasy X, and Final Fantasy VII, the music was arranged into orchestral pieces that aimed to tell musical stories instead of simply replicating Nobuo Uematsu's original songs. With the recent announcement that Final Symphony will … Continue reading Official Square Enix Concert “Final Symphony” Claims Clerith
https://youtu.be/n0H6kTppjP8?list=PLOLBWlPQqPksIcApr9kIlnBYL1GmW0LCx The iconic theme song of Aeris is undoubtedly one of the most memorable in Final Fantasy VII, partly due to its powerful and melancholic chord progression, and partly due to the heart-wrenching scene at which it most infamously plays. It is a somber and beautiful piece of music with a reputation as a staple … Continue reading Aerith’s Theme is a Romance Song: Its Legacy of Love and Marriage
The "debug room" of Final Fantasy VII is a hidden area present in every copy of the game that isn't intended for players to ever visit. It existed only for the developers to test scenarios and other assets - as well as work through stress with a bit of maniacal humor - and normally, we … Continue reading Clerith “Love Love” in FF7’s Debug Room
