to be fair advent children and stuff that came after the real main ff7 does try to give cloud that brooding personality

they also make tifa into a tomboy and aeris into a girly girl when really they only looked like that but aeris was more of a tomboy than tifa and tifa was more of a girly girl (who could suplex a tank)

I really loved the idea of Aeris as a Rosie the riveter type who seems dainty and vulnerable as a flower girl on the street, but who actually has a lot of worldly experience behind her and who knows how to hang with anyone. The way she comes up with the idea of having Cloud get into drag to infiltrate Corneo's mansion implies that she's way more fun than the expanded universe lets her be. She's always making fun of Cloud too for being dorky in the same way Zack was. It's such a refreshing dynamic, even now.

Yeah, they really play Aeris and Tifa against type, and it's really nice. Aeris is just this sweet, innocent-looking woman who is anything but, in a way that's believable(I've known people like that). Tifa looks rough and tumble, but she's actually naive and lacking in self-confidence. Barrett is a bit of a stereotype, but he's also a doting father(and loves wearing a sailor suit, apparently. I'll never forget the "he looks like a bear wearing marshmallow" line). Really, lots of media falls into the trap of making everyone "look" like how they are. It's a subtle way for media to subvert expectations and even add a little depth to a character. And keep the audience guessing. FF7 generally does that really well(the Turks in the Wutai sidequest are a great example of that too).

She told cloud everything but he was staring at her tits the whole time and wasnt paying attention

cloud crawled into a hot tub full of men and let them feel his muscles
and then tried to seduce a fat guy while wearing a dress

i dont think cloud has ever looked at tifa's breasts

Cloud and Tifa totally have sex towards the end though. It's okay, Cloud's just down for anything.
