I've also heard there might be copyright issues with the original material now - FFVII was owned by Square and Sony, who no longer work together? Something like that.
Oooh, 20th Anniversary though. I can hold out hope.
Remind me to congratulate Kadrin on pithily encapsulating everything I felt was wrong with that scene in a few words. I've written essays on that (unposted, thankfully, since they're very dull and ranty) and none of them summed it up that well. xD
That's true. I don't remember Aerith's age in FFVII but it wasn't much past 20.
From the original game, though, I gathered that Zack and Aerith's relationship wasn't huge anyway. She calls it 'not that serious' (admittedly to Cloud, who she's flirting with BIG TIME but still) and doesn't discuss him much - doesn't seem to even recognise his parents. Until Crisis Core, I thought it may have been more of a one-way teen infatuation with a big hunky SOLDIER. Zack, being the babe he is, would totally have humoured the cute girl with the flowers.
Even in CC, their relationship was surprisingly platonic. They had a couple of dates but I don't remember much physical contact beyond ... one hug? Compared to Tidus and Yuna's implied underwater sex, that's incredibly PG.
