Second Date frustration
Put yourself in my shoes - I've been "romancing" Tifa at every occasion, but I'm also a completitionist so by doing all the missions Aerith friendship ended up raising as well - so now Aerith shows up for the second date and steals the scene from Tifa...

... this is problably meant to be a beatiful moment, and by setting it up like this, the only outcome they achieved is having me wishing Aerith was dead, cringing the whole time during a date I didn't wanted to be part of and hating Aerith during her singing.
And the date isn't over yet, unfortunately.

I'm not kidding, they should just let the player choose their date.

Aerith was always the canon choice, so she's probably the easiest to get.

They do let the player choose their date, gotta plan a bit tho ;p
This is rather common RPG's and JRPG's where you can have partners, it's just more natural.

I don't know what makes her "canon", where is this information coming from?

-- OG spoilers coming -- :
Tifa is clearly the most narratively significant romantic interest - I mean, there is the childhood promise Cloud made to her, the fact Cloud complete mind-f*ck situation (or rather, the wanting to become a Soldier) was driven by wanting to be noticed by Tifa and failing to protect her when kids, the fact Tifa stays by is side when he's on a wheelcair recuperating, the fact they fall together in the lifestream and Tifa guides him to find his true self and put his mind back together... And he's also Tifa's only interest!

On the other hand you have Aerith which still loves Zack, so... she's playing around a bit too much if you ask me xD
And the fact she stabs Tifa in the back and try to steal Cloud from her in my playthrough, I'm liking her less and less, she might be going permanently out of my party xD

Cause in the og mechanics afaik some dataminers found that aerith has the 'highest' natural score, so if you do nothing you end up with aerith, maybe she wasn't the canon choice, but she was the default choice.

Because when you're on the date with Aerith in the OG, she alludes to Cloud, and to the player, that Cloud is an unreliable narrator, which he turns out to be. It's a story-telling device to relay information. She's also the easiest to get from the point system in the background by your decisions in conversations.

In a casual playthrough of FF7 OG, you will always get Aerith unless you know what to do to get Tifa or Barret.

Square and the voice actors themselves have said theres no canon choice.

They also said that Sephiroth was the main antagonist and I've never agreed with that.

"I made zero attempts to make Tifa my date and now she is not my date, how could this have happened to me??"

Maybe if you used your brain you wouldn't be here whining about a non-issue. I wanted Aerith as my date and so I kept an eye on the affection smiley faces of the party members and avoided sidequests for the ones who had the same colour face as Aerith, to make sure they didn't pass her. It was absolutely no issue.

When they can't get a real one, they gotta start coping somewhere.

So you think you know better than the people who actually made the thing ? xD
Steam forums, never change. ♥

I know how marketing works, so let me ask you a question. Who is more marketable: Jenova or Sephiroth?
once you complete the game it will let you decide from the main menu who you take out on a date

I mean, it's sephiroth that makes the decision to reunite with her and change the world with her, no ? Besides, they're essentially the same entity.
I have been doing every mission too for completion. Just had my date scene and it was Tifa. The quests aren't the only way to raise affinity. Though I think when you "gold star" someone's quest it gives you more points. I gold starred all of Tifa's.

Anytime they give a choice to "pick" a group in a fight, you should always pick the side with the person you are romancing. Every dialogue with every character matters too and has a point system. Even matching swimsuits with Aerith or Tifa gives you points. Doing synergy moves in battle with characters also gives them points. Sometimes you can see "your relationship with xyz changed" after a battle.

It sounds like you didn't do any of these extra points correct because you can do every mission and still get Tifa. :cactuar:
