Tifa and Aerith are being all buddy-buddy in the sewers right now and my fiancee is squeeling with absolute glee.
When Aerith was acting sweet and coy, then shouted "shit!" when she tripped had me laughing. I knew they did these characters right.
I think I remember you, you are another Clerith shipper, I hope that this thread does not deviate with themes of hatred towards Tifa, for that you have a private discord.
I think if you had a problem with Tifa's character before you're not going to change your mind now.
Very cute. She's an absolute Angel, but they have their flaws too. :)When Aerith was acting sweet and coy, then shouted "shit!" when she tripped had me laughing. I knew they did these characters right.
I'm up to chap 14 but Tifa cries and says that this is the second time Shinra ruined everything. I guess they could've shown Tifa swearing vengeance but with this scene and the previous scene of her and Barret, after the plate collapsed, I thought her motivations were clear. She's just really conflicted imo and doesn't want any more casualties.I still can't believe they got Aerith so right after doing her wrong for dirty for nearly twenty years. :')
It's too bad Tifa is still just as reliant on Cloud and as generally mopey as the original. They neglected to develop her own perfect drive to take down Shinra when its own product killed her father and destroyed her town.
Her relationship with Aerith though is perfect and when she shines most. Can't wait to see their relationship develop.
That and for her and Johnny to finally get together
Apparently Tifa is otaku bait because Cloud is handsy with her. Well its more like they're handsy with each other the entire game. Lets just ignore how they improved on her characterization and her motives within Avalanche. How despite working at the bar, decides to help the people of Sector 7 with their problems. How she's thinking about Marlene the entire time in Ch 11. How quick she was to befriend Aerith without any drama.
The scene with the plate was to show how devastated she was about what happened, that she cares that much. It wasn't just a simple damsel in distress waifu moment.
Both Cloud and Tifa suffered the same trauma and are trying to recover from it in their own ways. She doesn't just serve Cloud's character any more than Aerith ends up a guilt trap for him later on.
I'm just reading this stuff as people are salty that they added so much non optional or hard to miss shippy scenes with her while forgetting that Cloud himself flirts like a hound dog with Tifa right from the beginning and is the one who ends up jealous like the scenes with the item shop guy.
As for Aerith, I think people are missing out on some of the avoidance she does with her positivity to mask how she's feeling. We get a glimpse of it at the start of ch 17 until Tifa pulls her out of it.
I do feel like Aerith is skirting manic pixie dream girl just a tiny bit but I expect them to definitely tone that down in part 2 with the backstory stuff.
They're both already much better written at this point than in the OG.

Another moment similar to that. There's a part where Aerith joins in the middle of a Boss Fight, Cloud says the Boss is tough and Aerith says "Yeah well screw him!".
Ah true true. That slipped my mind since it's from the original. So glad they kept silly pieces like that in, I'm sure they realised there would be hell to pay if they didn't hahaThere was also another scene as well, during the Don Corneo scene, where Aerith says, "I'll rip 'em off!"
I believe they're referring to the second fight against Abzu. Leslie pushes Tifa out of the way when Abzu goes to attack, that's what ends up knocking Leslie out of the arena for the fight.Leslie goes to save her and Aerith, but they take care of the goons themselves.
Tifa and Cloud both save each other multiple times.
I'm staring at the quoted screenshot and I can't for the life of me recall it. Strange what people cling on to and remember. When I started reading everyone claiming that they "included Johnny!!!!" in threads before I got to that part of the game, I had no idea who they were talking about. Even after meeting him, it's not like I remembered him from the original.
