Both of them share feelings for Cloud. Tifa was close to Aerith, who can also be called a love rival. With that point in mind, they were also good friends. Nevertheless, it is not hard to imagine that she carries complex feelings as a woman toward Aerith, who had built up a special bond with Cloud that was different from Tifa's.
Hey, Ryu the ninja, come on back. ;D I have a question. So if that statement was made, where was it made? I'd really like to know. Also, why was Aerith's theme incorporated in Cloud's smile, and not Tifa's? Is it because his smile at Aerith and Zack is where Cloud says "yeah" to Aerith's "Everything is okay now, right?"
Ohh. I'm getting Itadaki street soon! <3 I guess this game is something Cleriths go crazy over because of Cloud walking with Aerith in the opening? And she's next to him in the character selection screen (Which actually is not true. Cloud is between Aerith and Tifa). I wish I knew Japanese, though. I won't be able to understand what the characters are saying. : / I'll only be able to understand the menus. DX
Edit: Here's what I think, Cloti.
It's not until this last line, that things get "fishy". Of course both of them share feelings for Cloud. That much is true. Aerith can be called a love rival, but that doesn't necessarily mean she is one. She is considered that way for obvious reason, but she poses no threat. (Tifa thinks otherwise. She doesn't know Aerith and Zack's history.) The statement, "Aerith acts the way she does around Cloud because of Zack" clears up any love rival issues. Again, Tifa doesn't know the same facts we do, and so it appears to Tifa that Aerith is a love rival. Aerith does have a different bond with Cloud, but no-where does it say that this is a bond of love. Aerith is other worldy, that's my impression of other bond.
Actually, Tifa's theme is in there too. Anyways, he says it in the distance making of special. Seriously, people need to watch that thing. All of it. The timestamp is minute 29. He speaks of reading the script and seeing the line 'Cloud smiles', the line in question regards Cloud's shy smile in response to Tifa's. And I really would not call that flat expression at the end a 'smile.' While he's not unhappy, he's not smiling. Now, when his mouth actually turns upwards, like to Tifa and in the photograph past the credits, that I would consider a smile.
They should enjoy that opening and select screen, because that's about all they get. Aerith interacts with Angelo (DQVIII, not FFVIII) a lot more than Cloud.
For an aside, Ranma and Kuno are rivals for Akane's affection, in that they are both interested in her, even though Akane can't bloody well stand Kuno in the slightest.
