I am glad that Aerith and Cloud got their date during Ch8 and Ch9. I am also happy that Aerith and Cloud fans got to enjoy that particular part of the game. You do bring up an excellent point that I hadn't thought of about the Gold Saucer part of the game. By having Aerith and Cloud have their date earlier in the game it kind opens up a lot of possibilities for other things to happen at the Gold Saucer. Perhaps an Aerith X Zack date...
I can agree with you in what you said earlier about the FF7R Aerith. I do feel that the Devs are putting Aerith's overarching role as a Cetra more to the front of the story. We have already seen her use her Cetra powers already. I can also see how it would make people feel that it is dehumanizing her and putting her on a different life path all together. It seems like she is very heavy with the burden of saving the planet moreso than having a meaningful relationship with any members of the party. She feels defeated in a way, locked into her assumed destiny. I, like you hope that the Devs don't completely remove the human aspect of Aerith's relationship between the other members of the party moving forward.
