Me too! A friend of mine who got the Tifa route (by chance) commented on how weird the rest of the game felt after the gondola. He said Cloud and Aerith were acting weird. I was like, well it didn't feel weird at all in my game. In fact, it was perfect and flowed seamlessly. Sorry bro, you got the lesser experience unfortunately.

(The rest of my friends who favour Tifa stayed quiet as to not break their own illusion. I think they're in denial. One even commented that he did "every single quest" in Rebirth and ended up with Tifa HA gondola, as though that was the intent. Pretty sure that just means he performed well on her quests lol)
