Yes and no. I _am_ an Aeris "fan" more or less, but I don't think Tifa 
got enough character development to elevate her above Aeris-replacement. 
*shrugs* Maybe I wasn't looking closely enough, but it seems to me that 
after That Scene she just steps in and plays Little Miss Perfect for the 
rest of the whole game. Plus, I really didn't like her overall character 
design; visually it didn't do much for me, and that contributed to it 
more than a bit.

Maybe the problem's that the _designers_ were Aeris fans.
