The Batman star Robert Pattinson has revealed his love for Final Fantasy 7 and Cloud's "love triangle" with Aerith (Aeris in the English version) and Tifa in one of the greatest role-playing games of all time.
During an interview with Clique, Pattinson started sharing his thoughts about Final Fantasy 7, specially the tough decision of having to choose to fall in love with Aerith or Tifa.
"I was in love with Aeris & Tifa," Pattinson said. "It’s the two options of girls… It’s a love triangle where Aeris, or Aerith depending on what version of the game you have… its sometimes mistranslated. She’s really kind girl that has superpowers to heal everyone and make the world a better place…"
"Poor women, we have to heal everyone," Kravitz added. "It's exhausting."
"And Tifa is this sexy little thing, she’s like a thief and wears this short skirt, and you’re like, ‘I can’t decide!' Then Aerith, right at her peak, gets killed," Pattinson said. "This is how every guy who plays figures out what love is..."
"The one that’s going to heal everything and the one in the short skirt? These are the options? Oh my god, this is the problem with the world,” Kravitz replied.
