This. There's a pretty clear line based on Traces: 9/21/02 - Tifa and Claudia chat about Cloud while volunteering on the meal line for the town's monster patrols. Tifa spills Cloud's desire to be in SOLDIER and Claudia is stunned "goodness, goodness" when she realizes the reason why her baby...

Context is important here. I think this article is pretty accurate in its synopsis of the scene: In Defense Of Aerith Gainsborough In Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth

I think Jessie's intentions towards Cloud are pretty well spelled out by Wedge. She's testing him. My more charitable inference is that Jessie is protective of Tifa and wanted to sus out if Cloud really was the type of guy Tifa portrayed him as. But she could have also just been messing with him...

Might be a product of the affection system. Once the splinter Clouds rejoin his main consciousness he's aware that Tifa knows his secrets. I'm still not sure what the intent was with the way they talk/react afterwards, possibly deference to player choice, but it doesn't feel overtly romantic...

Yeah, the visual language of the entire arc in the OG is Tifa running and trying to catch up to Cloud and that's the moment she finally does.

Nojima's Novella provides context:

Tifa should be louder, angrier, and have access to a time machine. :monster: There is no logical reason for Tifa's role to change. Sephiroth would very much like to win this time, Aerith is opening wormholes and defying fate, and Zack is alive-ish somewhere or when. Cloud could explicitly...

Ugh, I'm pretty sure one of the hardcore shippers scared Audrey off translating for the time being. Is it really necessary to accuse her of being biased and witholding "info" while they are livetweeting a translation?

Nojima's narrative trick where it seems like she's spilling the beans on her teenage feelings about Cloud to the party, but is actually doing a 1,000 yard stare is dirty pool, old man. XD

I copied and pasted what I could from twitter, the main two sources being @aitaikimochi (with dashes) and @HayashiNagisa (more basic english translation)

Remake Part Deux: Schrodinger's Zack.

Oh I know it's easily debunkable, but what if two Clouds show up to the reunion at Northern Crater?

What if the party crossed unkowingly from Beagle to Terrier at the end of remake?

Maximillian_Dood on twitch is theorizing that Zack is alive in another timeline and Aerith is already dead hence the people crying in the church, wilted flowers, the "Aerith?" ending line, etc. I don't know what to feel about that, but I'm seeing side missions, DLC with Zack and other...

I haven't played the new thing and only watched the cutscene once so I don't have a strong opinion on the current debate. I haven't seen it mentioned that we're going from PS4 to PS5 here so visual fidelity updates are going to be expected. The main cast definitely looks sharper, so I could see...

IDK about Tifa dying, as it requires some plot/continuity gymnastics I'd rather not speculate on. Technically, she can die and still help heal Cloud's mind in the lifestream, but if messes with everything else and it feels too close to what happened in FFXV. If they're really gonna go throwing...

Hello! What a kind and warm greeting. Thank you and welcome to the forums.

This TBH. The more I think about it, I kinda expect Cloud to more explicitly and fully come under Sephiroth's control in this story (beyond the Aerith attacks). It doesn't irrevocably change the story if he fights the party before falling into the lifestream and making his comeback. Also we need...
