I didn't see it in podcasts because I don't follow gaming podcasts, but there were a slew of at least 5-10 articles from various media reviewing "best dates of FFVII rebirth" and I'm pretty sure Tifa came up tops in most of them. Even if the reviewers don't see her as "best" or that Aerith's...

NGL, Aerith's character in Rebirth is legitimately the reason why I've been putting off playing the game - I've spoiled myself on most plot points but I just find the whole writing of two women pursuing the same man but ~ we're are just soooo besties <3 <3 <3 ~ extremely unbelievable, and it's...

You don't even have to look at anime. The final fantasy series already has many childhood romances. See Clive/ Jill, Cecil/Rosa. Everything is context. And furthermore doesn't the Nojima/Nomura trope say - "The transfer student that makes a big impact/impression but leaves" and "is the childhood...

I really thought a kiss would settle it. And I thought Aerith taking herself out of the equation by "knowing where she stands" would also settle it but its clear "sexy spiritual entanglements" are still on the cards to some I'm gonna have to say the only way the hardcore Clerith prophets would...

Back in the day, we used to say "man, if only Square Enix would give Cloud and Tifa a kiss. That level of explicity would be the final nail in the coffin for sure" Good times

I dunno, I thought 70/30 was a pretty clear majority? I'm always pleasantly surprised at how far ahead Tifa is above Aerith. Not because I think someone should "win", but more "phew, i have normal media literacy and comprehension skills - similar to most" It feels like on twitter or reddit or...

I don't think this is the right place to ask, as the people who post here are already quite actively attached to the outcome of the LTD and have been fighting deep in the trenches for a long while lol. Even I myself feel like I'm too entrenched in this - born from nostalgia that FFVII is a...

I've seen Zack and Tifa can end up with each other because Tifa is too depressive for Cloud and Zack is too high energy for Aerith Tifa is a person better off alone because its a good story for her to learn to be strong and independent Tifa can have Cloud in one timeline and Aerith can have...

The thing I don't understand about the people who say the date being "only fanservice" and Aerith's date is the only "canon route as what developers intended" is that they're clearly didn't care what the devs were saying that they were especially careful about how they wanted to depict each...

Side note, I know everyone is so excited about the Ultimania, but is this the same Ben Sabin who does the translations for Remake and Rebirth? He did a long lecture about how game companies should explicitly embrace sex scenes and not cop out with fade to black? Somehow that makes me laugh a...

I'm gonna throw my hat into the ring as well that Tifa and Aerith's friendship could have been written better and more women could have been in the writer's room. But....would it really be better if they were more friendly? What if the game showed them being incredibly close at the end, Aerith...

Well to be very very fair to a brand new gamer, with no context whatsoever to the OG games - if I'm just beginning by playing Remake it just feels like I've been given 3 options of women who seem to really like me. I get a train roll with one and it looks like they almost kiss, I get a kiss on a...

Regarding NPTK, ngl, I was pretty sure it was for Zack, then I was like, yeah, I guess it could be Aerith's song to express what she felt for Cloud, as it links up to the ending and the dream date, and the whole "like like", and the fact that they hold hands on their date, and hold hands at the...

This is the same Marlene that tells Barret she'll be be a good kid to Cloud & Tifa - that they'll be her "parents", right? Going by twitter, is that proof she changes her shipping preference sometime 1 year between FFVII and Advent children from Cloud/Aerith to Cloud/Tifa? I guess I think it's...

The continued use of platonic scenes of hands reaching out from the white light should be enough to dispel any of the "he wants to die to be with her" no? Barret reaches out to Tifa in the white light Aerith reaches out to Tifa in the white light Heck even Angeal reaches out to Zack in the...
