It's truly the end of an era for Nintendo fans, as online services for 3DS and Wii U have finally shut down. With it, we say goodbye to online multiplayer for the likes of Splatoon, Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Pokemon X and Y, and Xenoblade Chronicles X, with everything shutting off for good at 5pm PT/8pm ET yesterday (or 1am GMT this morning for UK folks).
The voice of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's Aerith says you can ship whoever you want, even if it's Cloud and Tifa: "Whatever your headcanon is, I love that for you"

Aerith herself doesn't care if you want to ship Cloud and Tifa. Briana White, the actor behind the English voice of beloved flower girl in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, says headcanon is the true canon in this instance.
"I get asked this all the time," White says in an interview with Dan Allen Gaming on YouTube. "Like, 'who do you ship?' To be honest, I know some people think it's a cop-out answer, but it's whoever you think is right - is right! That's the way the game is designed! There's a reason why it's an option for you to go on a date with Aerith or with Tifa. Or with neither of them! You know? There is a reason for that. It's because it's an RPG. It's a role-playing game, so you - Cloud, the character, the player - get to choose who you like the best. Both are correct. All are correct."
White says that "whatever your headcanon is, I love that for you, and I just don't care about anything else. I don't care about the negativity or' mine's right, yours is wrong.' It's just… they're all right."
For people like my colleague Heather, who spent 70 hours trying to get the perfect date with Tifa in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, I'm sure this comes as a kind of vindication. As an Aerith fan, let me echo White's sentiments: just date who you like, ship who you wanna ship, and let people have their preferences. At least, this is what I tell myself working in an office full of Tifa enthusiasts.
Online shipping wars can get pretty vicious, but White says she's gotten adept at dodging the hate over the years. "It was a bit tougher during Remake, I would say, because I wasn't as aware that there was so much negativity surrounding it. So I really just kind of stayed away from anything regarding that." She continues, "if anyone's overtly nasty or negative towards me specifically, it's an easy mute or block. But that doesn't happen very often. Things have settled down with Rebirth, and I've only really seen very positive things."
Final Fantasy 7's Sephiroth is on a tour through Baldur's Gate 3, Pokemon, and more thanks to a beautifully chaotic viral Twitter trend.

There's One FF7 Rebirth Protorelic Quest You Have To Do
Protorelic quests might not seem like critical content to play in , but there's one in particular that's well worth completing. As unique objectives that make up a part of the World Intel checklists found throughout the game, Protorelic quests task Cloud and company with tracking down pieces of ancient armor. Although this can lead to unlocking a powerful summon and gear late in the game, anyone uninterested in committing to the long haul could easily decide to ignore all the quests in favor of focusing on the main story.
