i'm gonna have alot to say, so don't mind my gigantic comment ^^'
firstly, i completely agree with you on the whole Aerith/Tifa issue. aerith talked alot in FF7 but she also did alot of what she said, and she always pushed the gang to save the world. i will say one thing though, it was Aerith AND Cloud who saved the world. not exactly that they could work side-by-side after Aerith's death but yes, both of them did (with some help from the others). Aerith prayed out to Holy to stop Meteor from crashing into the earth, and she did succeed in speaking to the planet and calling out to Holy. but Cloud and everyone else helped too. because, if you think about it, Sephiroth was keeping Holy from saving the planet, and if you remember when Bugenhagen mentioned something was getting in Holy's way, keeping it from saving the planet, Cloud mentioned Sephiroth was the only one who could keep Holy from saving the planet. so when Cloud beat Sephiroth, Holy could save the planet. yes, it didn't quite work, seeing that RED XIII mentioned, "at this rate, Holy is doing more harm than good" when Meteor was too close because they were too late. Aerith did succeed in somehow calling the LifeStream to save the planet, even after she was dead. so Aerith, Cloud and the gang all somehow did something to save the planet, even if Aerith did more.
now, Tifa. i completely agree that Tifa seems alot less helpful in AC, always telling Cloud to "stop running" and whatnot. i'm not saying i'm entirely against Tifa, but i felt she was more helpful in the original than in AC. do i feel that Tifa is a favorite character of mine? no. i do not feel that at all. i use to think, "she's so cool!" and everything and yes, at one point in my life she was a favorite character of mine. but after awhile she stopped being a favorite character of mine. like Dyuu, i don't really like her, but i don't completely hate her, either. she's not my favorite, but i'm not completely against her. if i was ever asked to rank how much i liked Tifa as a character, i would have to say it would be between my favorites and my least favorite. i don't like her as much as i like Zack, Cloud, and Aerith (to name a few), but i don't hate her as much as Barret or Red XIII (to name a few). she's like a so-so character to me. i guess how much i like her as a character depends on what i'm playing/watching.
and now, Aerith. no, she is not a whore. Aerith was a strong character in FF7, and she always will be. she was the type who never gave up and always pushed foward. and like i said, she always did most of what she said. and Aerith was also more optimistic that Tifa, even though she didn't have a completely happy past life, she was still an optimist. she was the, as some people call it, "bright light" of the whole gang. she was always happy and cheerful, and kept faith and had the others keep faith when they were on their was to beat Sephiroth and protect the planet. sure, her death did come as a surprising shock, but if it wasn't for her wish to save the planet, Cloud and the gang may've never tried to save it after she died. thjey all began to lose hope. so Aerith was a pretty important character in FF7. maybe she doesn't serve an entirely big role in AC as she did in the original, but she still had an important part in FF7.
and as for which Complitation of Final Fantasy VII i liked...i would have to say the original FF7. prequels and sequels don't always add up to the original, but i enjoyed whatever the Complitation of FF7 had to offer. so actually, if i had to pick what i liked most of the Complitation of FF7, it would most likely have to be everything, because it gave us a chance to view stories from other characters and it also let us back into the FF7 world after a whole decade. but the original would probaly be my all-time favorite, but everything else was pretty good in itself.
and the picture is beautiful, btw. i love the way you draw Aerith! you're amazing at it ^_^ and i'm extremly sorry by this loooooooong comment! i had lots to say ^_^'
