I love Tifa from the beginning to end and continues on... Somehow, I feel pity for her because they focus more on Aerith and it makes me angry and feels sad for Tifa knowing that she loves Cloud. Sorry to all Aerith's fan, but this is how I feel. I do feel really sad when I played the part that Aerith died too, but then I feel even sadder when Tifa's feelings were ignored.
How was Tifa's feelings ignored? You did play the game right? Mind you, I'm just curious. :unsure: If so, what do you make of the Lifestream sequence? I can understand why some folks might think Tifa's love was unrequited, especially during Disk 01, but after the Lifestream sequence and the Highwind scene, it's hardly possible to say Cloud didn't reciprocrate.
Also, about Aerith's role being 'focused', so to speak, they quite did that deliberately. Initially, Tifa had more scenes but in order for Aerith's death to have an impact on the audience and moreover to balance out the fact that there are two heroines, they added more scenes for Aerith in Disk 01. This was revealed in an interview sometimes in the past, but I don't recall where I read it. If I must, I can look for it.
