Why Tifa and Reno? Of all the people, why them?
You are about to read an essay here. Please, take time to read…otherwise I wasted my time, didn’t I? He he he. Here goes…
First of all, I’ve been a die hard Tifa x Cloud (or widely known as CloTi) fan from the very beginning. I liked these two so much, and could never see them with anyone else. They were the perfect couple. I mean, they were childhood friends, they grew up together, they know each other so well, they adopted kids and started a family together…they were perfect, in other words. I even hated Aerith as she was interfering with Tifa and Cloud’s relationship (I never liked her that much anyway, although I am to admit that I tried dressing up like her…).
Well, I’ve come to know that CloTi isn’t as perfect as I thought it was. I knew they had problems, but I didn’t really want to know what it was. But it’s so obvious that it’s being forced down my throat all the time. The problem is Cloud. Cloud cares for Tifa. Sure, he does. But he doesn’t care enough. He leaves Tifa. He leaves his family. And he goes away and spends his entire life daydreaming of the dead. Tifa doesn’t deserve that, oh no she doesn’t. Not after all she went thought to help Cloud discover himself again and all that jazz. Of all the years Cloud and Tifa spent together, never did Cloud show any obvious gestures of affection nor said anything close to those three small words. Now, I’m not seeking for hardcore romance, just a little ‘I love you’ or even ‘I care about you’ from Cloud to Tifa would have sufficed. But there was none of that. I guess I grew tired of Cloud. I guess I expected a bit more from him.
‘So where does Reno come in to the picture?’ you ask.
And this, my friend, is where the redhead Turk comes in. What we’ve got here is an interesting fellow. He’s young, successful, skilled, very pretty, has an ego the size of Midgar (my, that line is getting popular now!) and single. Even with his ‘evil gangster with style’ reputation, we know that he still has a heart beating in his little chest after all. Sure, he’s a drunkard…but hey…Tifa’s a barmaid. Smart match huh? So basically Reno is cool. He’s my favourite FFVII character. What’s not to like about him? It’s all there with a bit of evil. Nice.
Ever wondered why we never found his crush? Isn’t it very suspicious that after Rude admitted that he liked Tifa, Reno didn’t say anything? What am I trying to get at? What I’m saying is, that maybe the reason why Reno never said anything about his crush is because he also liked Tifa, and was only keeping it quiet to avoid any problems with Rude. Didn’t want to hurt his feelings. Makes sense or what?
So this is the bit where I got to pair him up with Tifa. We’ve got two young, great, single people over here! Tifa deserves a great guy who will truly value and care for her. You say, ‘Oh, but Reno is not the type!’. Yes, Reno’s the arrogant jerk who will never be seen falling head over heels for a woman. You might even think he won’t fall in love, ever. BUT have you ever noticed his loyalty to Shin-Ra and his fellow Turks? How he would risk his life to save them even if he is off duty? Isn’t that close enough to ‘love’?
And yes, in Tifa’s case, she is mad about Cloud. But don’t you think she’ll get tired of him too? It certainly hurts being second only to a ‘memory’ and we can’t blame Tifa if one day she just breaks and goes away to find herself a man. And I mean a real man. (Sorry, Cloud.)
I wonder…will the kids (Marlene and Denzel) like Reno better? I mean, there’s this clown-looking thing to cheer them up all the time, who’ll probably make their 'mother' smile, and not cry, and won’t go away for weeks to fantasize about some ghost. Just a crazy thought. He he he…(Hey, I like the relationship between Cloud, Tifa, Marlene and Denzel so don't go bashing me, ok?)
And don’t get me wrong. I don’t hate Cloud. I know what he went though and you can’t blame him for being a little psycho…but he has to ‘move on, man!’ He’s just being a bit stupid, really.
