This is absolutely the BEST GS date analysis I've ever seen, thank you for this great post!
Players love the dates for many reasons: it’s the culmination of their hard work with the affection mechanic, a silly interlude after hours of tension, an opportunity to bond with their character of choice. A sweet moment in time isolated from the heavier themes of the game.
But what if I told you that Tifa and Aerith’s dates are not just cute little flashes of fan service? That both dates are part of a broader arc highlighting how the girls recognize, confront, and decide to react to the reality of Cloud’s mental issues?
And what if I told you that “Interrupted by Fireworks” is not just the pretty Big Date song? That “Interrupted by Fireworks” serves as an important tool in threading this arc together and setting our romantic expectations stupidly high so they can be cruelly subverted later?
Well wonder no more, as that’s what we’ll be discussing today! Cut for an image-heavy, script-heavy post.

Thank you so much @tifa-daily for this wonderful event!
I don't know if this was intentional but I love it
Since forever and I hope I'll never change
Do you ever feel so detached from the world because you’re constantly living in the fictional/fantasy worlds in your head given that reality is just too boring, too limiting, and too uneventful????
Zack and Cloud parallels
Crisis Core vs. Final Fantasy VII Remake
The novel introduces new characters like:
LESLIE
KYRIE
MIREILLE
MERLE
In the book Evan tells Tifa about some pictures of ladies he found at Corneo’s Mansion. In the Remake indeed Corneo takes various pictures of Cloud.
Cloud: What was that?
Don Corneo: Don’t you worry your pretty little head. Just a picture to preserve the moment! And to ensure you don’t do anything inappropriate like say “No”...
Ms Folia, the teacher of the Leaf House, said she considers the kids of the orphanage as a real family. The same concept is repeated at the end of the novel when Kyrie states that she, Evan and Bits form a real family even if they’re not relatives, and Cloud confirms he feels the same about his own family (this concept was already touched also in On the way to a Smile from Tifa’s pov).
But I want the children to know that until they can stand on their own two feet that I'm here to support them, care for them, love them—that even if we're not actually related, we're still a family—a real family, in all the ways that matter. If I can do that for them, then well...then maybe I'm making this world a better place.
Aerith's day
Baby boy, baby
I’m not good with Japanese, but these lines sound VERY similar!
It would be interesting to know if there are others, did you spot any?
