Ok here's what's pissing me off about this remake. The devs said there is no canon choice as to which girl Cloud ends up with. But its pretty obvious Tifa is the favorite. Its actually not just this remake, Advent Children and Crisis Core added to this. I've basically accepted that Aerith is just the Christ/Martyr plot device to them.
Crisis core built up Zack and Aerith's relationship.
In Advent Children Zack and Aerith are together in the afterlife. Aerith could be with anyone there I suppose, her mother for example..but its Zack.
Then this very one sided remake.
So there's the flower Aerith gives to Cloud. You give it to Tifa with no choice. In the original you could give it to Marlene if you weren't into Tifa.
Then the scene where Aerith rescues Marlene and sees the flower in the vase behind Tifa's bar, they purposefully put that shot of her taking pause in seeing that. Pretty blatant.
Then even if you favor Aerith and spend more time with her doing quests the scene you're rewarded with for that consists of her telling you not to fall in love with her because its "not real." Compare that with the emotional embrace you get with Tifa if you did her quests instead.
Oh and that almost kiss scene when Could and Tifa jump from the train.
How am I supposed to pretend that Tifa is not the canon choice? This sucks even harder now because her remake character is so god damn adorable and there's even a chance that she'll fucking live this time and yet its all but certain she won't be the choice. They may as well have Aerith watch Cloud and Tifa fuck under the Highwind.
Take a wild guess as to why Zack is alive now. Go ahead.

He's going to fuck alternate universe Tifa

Dude imagine the absolute nuclear fuckin rage that would cause. Square may as well jump off the roof of their HQ.
Blake Howard
I could actually see those two having some big chemistry together
Landon Williams
Will Disk 3's remake in 2050 show Tifa raping comatose Cloud every single day?
Aerith is meant to grow on the player and on Cloud but she literally fucking dies. The real competition is Tifa and Yuffie, and that bitch steals all your materia.
Jeremiah Richardson
They're trying to make you like Aerith more so you can cry like a little bitch when she dies. Tifa and Cloud run an orphanage together, that's all you'll get.
Asher Sanders
Honestly, yes i can.
Aerith first of all doesnt have to be with cloud or be in a love triangle to shine. What OP is trying so heavily to proof is that shes either with cloud or shes nothing. Complete lie.
Aerith has her own subplot in part 1, has tons of unique interactions with cloud, a lot of attention, and even after all those scenes with tifa, still isnt clear from the beginning on whats gonna happen with aerith, cloud and tifa love triangle. Whispers are gone, Aerith doesnt want to follow the planet's plan and stuff can change. Considering Aerith also lives by the moment the most and acts very innocent and curious around people and cloud, her character is like BEGGING to drop her ancient facade and have a weak emotional moment with cloud, since in the compilation it has already been said that zack is in the past and now she wants to meet cloud.
If the remake was exactly like the original, what do you get? >fuck this devs, they are not trying to hide that tifa and cloud will end up together and that aerith will die
Remake makes changes and tries to add interactions between the characters >wtf why is this different?
Remake not only makes changes, but also teases you with the possibility of aerith not dying in the same place or not dying at all >NOOOO MUH 1:1 REMAKE, WHY AERITH ISNT THE CANON CHOICE, WHY TIFA GETS ATTENTION AT ALL
Either way, i feel like you were not gonna be happy until you see aerith kiss or fuck cloud in front of tifa.

>There is no canon love interest for Cloud! You do know that this is the kind of nonconfrontational shit that Japs say all the time? They absolutely despise having to say anything outright, for fear that anyone could get offended. Then they turn around and keep doing obvious shit because they don't really care past saving face verbally. You said it yourself, with Crisis Core and Advent Children.
>Tifa is the Childhood Friend >Aerith isn't even over Zack >She outright says in the original that she likes Cloud because he's exactly like him >Cloud/Aerith Chemistry is entirely built on Cloud mindfucking himself into being Zack >Once the goose is cooked, the game pushes All Tifa, All The Time >For the people that didn't get it, Crisis Core and Advent Children drive the point home
The Remake just cements what he original was already doing.
Why do you care who Cloud ends up with? You are not Cloud and Cloud is not designed to be a self insert, he is his own character.
Jordan Rivera
And Tifa sucks.

>being obsessed with a game made by Square Enix for muh waifuwars.
How about you grow the fuck up? or head back to discord. All these games/movie: Crisis core, 7r, and advent children are pure cringe, made for children/
