Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth earned Game Rant's first Community GOTY award, with fans praising its narrative, gameplay and emotional impact.

In a recent interview with Inverse, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth producer Yoshinori Kitase, as well as FF7 Rebirth the director Naoki Hamaguchi, spoke about the game and the complex relationship between the characters. One topic that was focused on was the new scenes set between Cloud and Aerith, where they go on a “date” in a dream or alternate reality. Hamaguchi said that the scene can have “many interpretations”, perhaps referring to the fact that some players view it as canon of their loving relationship, while others disagree and think that Tifa was a better choice for Cloud. Hamaguchi notes that Aerith is a “sort of brotherly character” to Cloud, who understands his destiny and uses this opportunity to help Cloud meet his destiny.

Cloud from Final Fantasy 7 is a “lucky guy”

While Hamaguchi seemed to indicate a more brother-like relationship between Aerith and Cloud, Kitase joked after Hamaguchi's comment that “Cloud is thought deeply by two different women. What a lucky guy.” Fans are likely to be excited about this line, as it seems to highlight the potential for romance between Cloud and Aerith or Tifa. However, it's worth noting that Kitase was the director of the original Final Fantasy7. Perhaps the difference in comments between Hamaguchi and Kitase is indicative of how the story and angle of the seventh chapter of the series have changed and evolved over time.

No matter who fans think is right for Cloud, over 20 years after the release of the original title, it's clear that players are still passionate about this topic. It will be interesting to see what kind of impact Aerith will have on the third game in the series Final Fantasy7 remake of the trilogy and whether it continues to shake up the relationship between them.
