Both SE and the FFVII development team have finally stopped being subtle about Cloti's tender kiss in Rebirth Chapter 12

I find the progression this year, from SE and the FFVII development team, to be extremely satisfying — specifically regarding Tifa's Gold Saucer date and Cloti's tender kiss in the Skywheel in Rebirth Chapter 12, post-release on February 29th, 2024:

March 28th, 2024 — The "Friends of Fate - Inside FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH - Episode 2 (Scenario, Cutscenes and Story)" official interview with the developers is on one of Square Enix's official YouTube channels. The developers giggle excitedly as they tell the players to specifically get Tifa's GS date in Chapter 12 and only Tifa's date, and they even encourage everyone to play the game multiple times, "go back for second and third rounds", solely to see a "special Tifa cutscene". But, the video doesn't actually show the kiss. (Skip ahead to timestamp 12:58)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

July 12th, 2024 — Japanese comedians play through Tifa's GS date in Chapter 12, and they intentionally only play through Tifa's date. When Cloud agrees to go on a date with Tifa, they say "he's already in love". When Cloud and Tifa wander around Gold Saucer together, they refer to Cloud as Tifa's "kareshi", which translates to "boyfriend". When Cloud and Tifa finally kiss, they exclaim excitedly. They also acknowledge how shy and awkward the couple is with each other after the Skywheel ride is over. Kanou-san says "Even if I am over 40 years old, I got kyun-kyun", meaning that his heart skipped a beat or he had butterflies in his stomach. At the end of the video, there's a big block saying "Play the game to find out the relationship between Cloud and Tifa". This stream was approved, endorsed, and sponsored by Square Enix themselves, and is on one of Square's official YouTube channels, meaning that Square prepared this stream themselves. But, the video cuts away right after Cloud pulls Tifa into a big tight hug and right before the viewer can see the kiss.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

September 26th, 2024 — The official English version of the FFVII Rebirth Gold Saucer & MiniGame Disc calls Tifa's GS Skywheel date "Words Drowned Out by Fireworks - A Tender Kiss".

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

December 3rd, 2024 — Hamaguchi explicitly talks about Cloti's tender kiss during Tifa's GS date at the PlayStation Partner Awards. He confirms that there was a clear intention behind the kiss. He basically confirms that Tifa's Resolution in Remake Chapter 14 is canon because he explicitly mentions the Cloti hug in her Resolution. Since the hug in Remake happened, therefore the kiss in Rebirth happened. This is the very first time Cloti's tender kiss has ever been openly acknowledged by anyone in the FFVII development team, 10 months after Rebirth's release.

i think it's hilarious that every man who meets cloud is obsessed with him and wants to bang him immediately (sephiroth, biggs, wedge, andrea) but every woman who meets him thinks he's full of himself and wants to knock him down a peg (tifa, aerith, jessie, madame m)

Question: Do you get anything when you boot up the main Final Fantasy VII Rebirth game (when it comes out) for having played the Junon demo?

Because if not, I'm thinking I'm just going to wait and play that until the story proper.

Is it true that Nojima wanted AC to be about the domestic life of the cloti family but SE wouldn't let him because it needed Action?

Yup.

I can't believe Cloud literally KISSED Tifa!! The Cloud strife?! The mister ambiguous?! That too when he's still in his soldier persona omg we gonna eat real good for part 3! It's like a dream, this is unreal. I never thought we'd get a kiss this soon. Optional or not A kiss is a kiss!

And he was gonna kiss her in Gongaga before they got interrupted.

2027 can't come soon enough 😁

A Tender Kiss 🤭 cleriths desperate and copin hard rn lmaooo. For months it was optional and rebound and jealous kiss. Now they talking about the kiss and tryin to divert their attention to old recycled materials that have already been debunked to keep gaslighting each other. We just need to sit back and let devs/SE do the work cause it’s fun seein them cry 🤣

Funny how things line up 🤭
