I liked it. You captured Clouds personality well. This was probly what was really going on in the ex-soilders head the whole time and you didnt just make Tifa spam uncharicteristric hatred towards Aeris. All in all it was well writen with minimal grammer mistakes. And since im horrible with grammer I say good job (Which is an understatement) to you.

I... have never seen Cloud and Tifa put so well together. Wow! You really know your stuff. I'll be looking forward to more fics. :)

I liked, yes I did. :) I agree that Cloud is a bit of a toughie to write, especially in anything remotely part of the romance genre, so I feel your pain. He's just not an emotional guy, ya know?

Vincent is dark and broody so writing him isn't as much of a challenge, I find. Plus, it's totally believable that the dude is a hopeless romantic. :P Whereas Cloud...is a headcase.

I find it pretty interesting that you basically wrote a scene from the movie with your own twist (but made it better because of the CloTi parts :P). It's creative and definitely different. I think you kept both characters quite in check. Although some find Tifa's nagging annoying, I think she was being nice- she should have punched the emoness out of that kid. :D

Ahem. Overall, I think you did a good job! There were only some minor grammar mistakes here and there but a quick read-through would fix that. If this was your first attempt, I think it's pretty impressive! Took me ages to write Cloud remotely correct. :P

My fave part was where you brought up how much Cloud needs Tifa and how that fact was simply forgotten due to his emoing. It felt so raw and so true; I think at some point, he did forget and started taking the girl for granted. So I appreciated that perspective; never would have seen it that way if it wasn't for this.

I look forward to future CloTi stories from you! :D
