They’ll probably make those areas more linear but add open world stuff to the new locations. There’s also portions of the game where we control Tifa and Cid. Hoping we get some more expansion on them doing things in absence of Cloud. For example, Tifa chasing down leads for Cloud’s location.
@Axiom they just need to fade to black and then show them lying next to each other under covers, that is still well within a T-rating.

I also hope they do away with the affection stuff in Part 3, I don't wanna have to be mean or indifferent to characters (or miss out on things totally) in the hopes of getting the scene I want with a certain character later on. If they are going in a certain direction too I don't see the need to add affection to a Highwind scene either, just go with the singular scene, if you don't want an M rating then just hint and cut away, the implication is not hard to do. Seriously they don't need it especially if they just put Cloud and Tifa endgame, why confuse it.

Yeah, there’s not much of a reason to do an affinity system anymore unless they want to add more resolution scenes.

If they do resolution scenes then it would still have to be done at a different time than the Highwind scene. The whole point is that everyone has somewhere to go before they head into the Northern Crater the last time - except for Cloud and Tifa.
People have suggested they'll keep the affinity system going via Aerith in the other world through dreams and such, and that instead of spending the night under the Highwind with Tifa, he'll spend time in a dream with Aerith holding hands. Thematically that would make very little sense at that point in the game.

Once again, that also ignores Zack. I doubt they’d have him spend the third game watching Cloud and Aerith pine for each other. Would be kind of weird to watch…

I swear, these people should just play VNs, be it the harem type or the outright eroges. They'll find no shortage of these things in those.
Personally, though, it would be neat if there's no more affection mechanics by then, if only because I personally found it really neat when I noticed the game stopped giving choices once Real!Cloud was back at the helm.

they can always go down the xbc route and have an affinity system between all the party members instead of locking them to cloud.

They probably would play VNs that have Cloud and Aerith in them… the issue being that FF7 is the only place those characters exist so getting that itch with a VN wouldn’t work.

Yep. I agree with you on that. Real!Cloud should make his own decisions now!

Cloud turns to the audience and says; “Do I get a say in all this?”
Assuming that
Aerith’s LA and HA church date is the equivalent to Tifa’s Highwind scene
Now that I think about it:
Aerith becomes the main focus with the church date (both LA and HA versions) and her death scene, so I feel like it would make sense that they would juxtapose this in Part 3 and make Tifa the main focus for two moments (Under the Highwind and Lifestream Sequence)
Also, I am curious if they will continue this trend some people have theorized for Part 3:
Remake Tifa Resolution:
High Affection Tifa -> Hug
Rebirth Tifa GS Date:
Standard Tifa -> Hug
High Affection Tifa -> Kiss
Part 3 Highwind:
Standard/Low Affection Tifa -> Kiss
High Affection Tifa -> S*x
High Affection Tifa -> Hug
Rebirth Tifa GS Date:
Standard Tifa -> Hug
High Affection Tifa -> Kiss
Part 3 Highwind:
Standard/Low Affection Tifa -> Kiss
High Affection Tifa -> S*x

I would like to think so
Now that they've ramped it up, the only way they can go is, well, up

How about just giving the HA as the standard version, and no affection mechanic so there's no room for debate
If they’re going to do an affection mechanic, what I’m theorizing is that they’re either going to have Cloud only kiss Tifa (Low Affection/Standard) or have Cloud kiss + suggestive fade to black with Tifa (High Affection). Either option will leave no room for debate.How about just giving the HA as the standard version, and no affection mechanic so there's no room for debate
In the OG, they spend the night together regardless of affection points. In high affection, Cloud wants to tell Tifa how he feels, but doesnt know what to say. Tifa tells him to show her with actions. In low affection, Cloud says it's getting late and they should go to sleep. Tifa says ok. Regardless of which option you get, the scene will fade to black as Cloud and Tifa spend the night together. Then we see them cuddling in the morning, and Tifa asks to cuddle a bit longer. Really, the only thing that changes is the dialogue is naughtier in high affection.
I imagine Remake part 3 will show a kiss and a fade to black in low affection, and a longer, more suggestive make-out session before the fade to black in high affection.

I can't imagine them leaving out the "Words aren't the only thing that tell people what you're thinking." It's pretty iconic.

CA's moment in the beach for me seems to be the replacement to Cait Sith's prediction? Have you guys seen it?
- they're talking about Aerith's future and her future self but to me again gives me that omnimous warning--> we know her future.

There has been promotional character and relationship posters going around Japan, similar to the sort of charts you see in the Ultimania’s where they have arrows linked between characters and explaining their connection.
The ones for Remake and Rebirth again reiterate Zack was Aerith’s first love, and that Cloud and Zack were best friends. Cloud and Tifa childhood friends.
Be interested seeing if post-trilogy this would ever be updated but for Rebirth and Part 3’s story I’m glad they are being unambiguous about the relationships between Cloud and Zack, and Zack and Aerith. Further makes the whole desperate canon welding trying to have Cloud and Aerith be romantically together at the end nonsensical.
It would paint Cloud and Aerith in a negative light and massively disservice Zack as a character, who died originally protecting Cloud while also desperately trying to get back to Aerith.

It's been around in FF7 JP Twitter account before TGA trailer. And I'm a bit salty here because the arrow between Zack & Aerith isn't two-ways lol. Hope it's changed when introducing Part 3 since audience know that Zack loves Aerith in return. But here I also wonder if there was arrow from Aerith to Cloud which is "suki" or "like" similar to OG chart when Jessie, Tifa, Aerith have that arrow. of "koui" means "favor" although no reciprocation from Cloud. If Cloti's kiss in Gold Saucer was counted, it's possible that their relationship status changes like Clive & Jill whose relationship status is updated within the game from childhood friends to lovers. (This is more slow-burn, they've been together during 5 years time skip and still childhood friends???? Worse than Cloti living together for 2 years described as that)
Remake promotional relationship status doesnt include Zack. AC chart in The Reunion FIles book also dont have arrow between Zack & Aerith, and Aerith is described as "guilt" to Cloud. AFAIK the relationship arrow between Zack & Cloud never changes since OG.
