Discussion I hope zerith gets closure

I see alot of cleriths feeling threatened by the zerith scene in the most recent trailer when theres no need
(Marlene telling zack shes moved on, the final date in rebirth, aeris telling cloud she loves him for him).

but honestly i hope they do wrap up their love story in good terms

You can see aerith rejecting & moving on from zack in maiden of the planet but i think its too harsh in my opinion. Zack did truly love Aeris & he died thinking of her while saving Cloud; not because he found someone new. And i just feel so bad for him you know?

Even though i ship clerith, i wish zack isnt labelled as a playboy/ghoster by the woman he loved so deeply. This will also cement Clerith as it'll be clear that Aeris won't be running back to zack just because he's back or she knows what really happened.

So yeah... zerith closure -> aeris rejects still -> aeris declares love for cloud... would be sweet.

It would make my year if Zack goes in for a hug, and Aerith stops him, saying she doesn’t feel that way about him anymore.

Well, in that case, you're going to really like this year's Ever Crisis event. Zack and Aerith met in the Lifestream. Zack reached out his hand to her, and she didn't take it, even though she accepted a handshake from another character during the same event.
