This remake is strongly reminding me why I always shipped Tifa/Aerith.

idk if it can be called queerbaiting...maybe...but the whole "It's a date" got me in my feelings

but either way I'm glad they're showing that yes, Tifa and Aerith were friends. When Aerith died in the original, Tifa stroked her hair/face and ran off crying. She clearly cared for her.
