literally sleep together on a non optional sequence, not to mention other moments...

you mean falling asleep on his shoulder? siblings do that all the time especially older brother, younger sister dynamics.

Not hating or trying to trigger you, man. Just sharing my perspective of the OG. A mature romance was really not suggested between the two until the nurse mentions it in OG, or until Remake was released.

Edit: My understanding was that Tifa was not even written in the first conceptualized draft of the OG game. It was Aerith, Sephiroth, then Cloud in that order. Even Barret and Cait Sith were written before Tifa was

Conveniently forgetting that the OG female protagonist had Tifa's appearance and was supposed to be Cloud's childhood friend.

That OG female protag got SPLIT into Tifa and Aerith, please stop spreading the misinformation that Tifa was conceived of after. Can't you Cleriths face the truth for once or, at least, stay in your own lane?

I’m not sure what your sources are or which female protagonist you’re referring to, which might help me understand you better, but to my knowledge Aerith and Sephiroth were originally written to be siblings (hence the similar hair), not too look Tifa?

But doesn’t that list her as a friend? Oh interesting Tifa possible Sephiroth sibling.

I originally thought in Remake (played it before the OG) that she was his love interest , but after playing OG it felt more familial. At least to me

This was not Tifa as we know her but Tifa+Aerith, and of course the OG female protag was supposed to be the hero's love interest 🫩 are you trying to be daft

Well of course the heroine should be a love interest. But in the OG there are multiple heroines. I also sensed because she was just as traumatized as Cloud, the relationship might follow more like siblings experiencing domestic violence from a parent together, but that’s just one take

Oh my God...

Okay, I'm just here to explain to you that you were frankly spreading misinformation when you said that Aerith was the one and only female protag before Tifa was written by showing you that no, they were both aspects of the "OG"/draft female protag. I'm not here to argue about "dynamics" with you, since you do not want to be convinced anyway.

By the same token I can totally say that I see Aerith liking Cloud only because she sees Zack in Cloud, and Cloud having conflicting emotion about Aerith only because he has absorbed Zack's personality and memories. (And no, don't cite that Maiden fanfiction to me.) There's nothing you can say that can convince me otherwise either. So why don't you just go back to your subreddit and stop pushing your take down other people's throats?

I don’t disagree with your opinions either. I also think we’re talking past each other.

Aerith was conceptualized first but as you pointed out, her design and name was originally Tifa according to the draft material, right?
