My hubby finished the game. What a great and pleasant entertainment! We thoroughly enjoyed it.

Both CloudxTifa or CloudxAerith works in their own way. Both are relatable and has its own charm. Best of all, Tifa x Aerith respect each other and they have great interaction throughout the game.

My personal preference is CloudxTifa. I like the fact that every time Cloud was unconscious, it's Tifa's face that's always be the first for him to see. Subtle. Both have difficulty expressing their feelings with one another (childhood friends inertia), and their happiness was subtly hinted by people surrounding them. People can definitely relate on so many levels. That someone you've yearned for the longest time (you went to become soldier to impress her), you haven't seen each other for years, and she's now blooming and standing right in front of you. Able to take care of herself, much more mature than you'd ever be, and can cool you off when you're at your fury. They start the story in the game with 'distance' between them. The author subtly hint this in so many of their interactions... That one empty chair between them. That space they have when they converse in the room. And I'm glad that (depending on your choices in the game), you'll get to see the distance slowly but surely diminishing.

With CloudxTifa, It's for those who believe love in history. You often ask yourself, would things be different if you have the courage to express your feelings for her?

I can also see the appeal of CloudxAerith. It works too. And it has its reasons. Someone that suddenly pops up in your journey. Your interaction may be short, but left so many impressions. Would things be different if you spend time longer? Or meet her sooner in your journey?

Well, regardless of the love triangle department, the whole universe and story is awesome! Looking forward to the next installment.

Welp, prepare yourselves for tears in the following installments because anyone who thought that there was a minute chance that Aerith was going to somehow survive this time around because of the ending, Kitase just crushed your dreams.

It may be a remake but they're still following the plot of the original so I knew Aerith will eventually die.

Yeah same here. Gotta say though I personally love the expansions in the plot and the what they added in the story so far. Not sure if everyone feels the same though.

Don't worry. You're not alone. I'm very happy with the expansions in the plot too.

Good to hear, because I hear debates here and there about whether or not the remake is better than the original or even if the plot expansion was even necessary.

IMO, it would feel really strange if we did all of those thigns with the destiny ghosts just for everything to happen in the exact same way it did before. So I can't help but think that there is a catch here.

It won’t happen exactly the same most likely, but major events won’t be altered
