It’s weekend and allow me to spice up a bit here...
My guess not particularly only for part 2...
I Based heavily on what the producer said the whole story will be quite faithful to the OG plus now generally the fate element that suggested some kind of multi timeline or universe...
Aerith will still end up dying but in a much later in the game? Giving us some false illusion we changed fate avoided her death. Some game mechanics reasons I will explain below.
Tifa will suffer some sort of near fatal event (a narrative such as falling off a cliff and leave the party for sometime leaving us the player think she’s death) This plays as a new surprise element and to shock us especially those who played and know the OG well... of course she is alive and will join back as she is still the VIP to fix Cloud in lifestream “following the OG plot”
Seriously, loosing Barret/Tifa/Aerith will be sorely missed not only because of them as loveable character, but also how fun they as playable character... Won’t u miss Arcane Ward if Aerith dies as per the story? You actually need to adapt your play style if in part one u heavily use her as main character every time possible... so I feel it’s reasonable enough for dev to keep her alive longer as long as the main story narrative allow... this include shuffling around the story beats of the OG...
Sorry for a rather long post and feel free to add on... Cheers...
