I found an article that refers to Kingdom Hearts II, were Nomura said that he deleted what Nojima intended to be a deeper explanation of the connection Cloud and Tifa had in that game, but it's pretty vague, dunno if that helps.
It doesn't explain much, but you could read a little into it and how Cloud and Tifa are tied together, even in another universe.
Also, about the ring, I've been reading that Tifa, Denzel, and Barret are the ones who have one. Various websites mention it, but I haven't been able to find a reliable source, which brings up the question on why Marlene doesn't have one. You think that it may be that she gave hers to Barret instead? Dunno how this helps the argument, but I did find it interesting. I'm off to see Advent Children to see if it's true that Barret has a ring.
Also, I whole heartedly agree with all that you've stated and while I was searching for Nojima's interview, a few anti-CloudTifa websites popped up. Everyone has different tastes and perspectives. I don't really appreciate it when someone tries to ram their opinion down my throat, so I generally leave them alone. Getting into arguments with the "rabid fans" just keeps the never-ending argument alive instead of letting it die. We should just ignore these people and let them fester in their poison and negativeness(is that a word?). Not everyone HAS to have the same opinion because we're all different and we should act like civilized people and ignore the jerks. These days you can find more people to trul talk about the CloudTifa ship with so don't feel so bad. I've got a few friends who like CloudAerith and it doesn't mean that we'll automatically tear each other's throat. There will always be jerks out there, and as long as we don't act like them, I think we're good.
Besides... we know that Cloud belongs with Tifa, right? :D
