Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth shippers waited 27 years to see Cloud kiss Tifa, but the team only added it because they wanted "something more" than a hug

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth tucks away a missable romantic moment that some fans have been waiting 27 years for, and the game's director has finally explained how it came about. Just be warned: there are some potential spoilers for the remake/sequel/requel ahead.

Almost three decades on, Final Fantasy 7's love triangle is almost as iconic as it is brutal since no one wants to pit the game's two main gals against one another. There's Aerith, the sweet and optimistic new friend who represents hope for the game's dying world, and by extension, Cloud's tortured past. And then there's Tifa, Cloud's childhood bestie - someone who knows what he's been through more than anyone, but still finds the strength to stand up to the capitalist machine that's hurt them both.
