How many times has Cloti been confirmed canon?
For those interested, Cloud x Tifa has been confirmed multiple times with multiple phrases.
_____________________________________________________________
1) First, the word “ 好意 ”
This word is used to describe Aerith’s feelings for Cloud, and Tifa’s feelings for Cloud.
好意 Describes the feelings that Cecil and Rosa have for each other.
好意 Describes the feelings that Locke and Celes feel towards each other.
好意 Describes what Squall and Rinoa feel for each other.
It is clear this word is romantic.
So who does Cloud feel “ 好意” towards? In the ultimanias, it is stated blatantly that Cloud returns Tifa’s feelings.

For many years, Cloud and Tifa have been holding favor for one another. -25th Anniversary.

Incidentally, Tifa didn’t realize he held favor for her until he informed her in the Lifestream. Even though she was called out for it to just be the two of them, she was clueless? -pg. 25, Ultimania Omega
ちなみにティファは、 クラウドか自分に好意を抱いていたということに、 ライフストリームで告げられるまでまったく気づいていなかった。呼び出されてふたりきりになっているのに、結鈍感？

And upon learning these romantic feelings, they then move in together.
In FF7, Tifa is the only one who knows Cloud’s childhood, and furthermore, she holds the key to people involved in the story of Nibelheim’s burning down, which is also depicted in CC. She and Cloud came to realize their feelings for each other in the end of the story, and live together in AC and DC.- Tifa profile Crisis Core Ultimania.
They live together because of their romantic feelings. Tifa is the only woman out of the two we are told Cloud returns feelings towards.
