I just watched Advent Children for the whatever-hundredth time, and I had this thought before, but thought I'd post now.

After the fight between Cloud and Sephy, and it starts raining, of course which is Aeris' doing, Tifa looks at a drop of the rain, and say's that she never left them, and thank you. She then turns to face the camera, smiles and nods.

Here is my thought, when she turns to the camera, is she thanking us, the player, for never leaving too?

I think it's no secret that if FFVII wasn't as successful as it was, there would be no compilation. So, what measures success in the business world? Profit. And how do they make their profit? Our money.

So is this their way of thanking is, or am I blowing this out of proportion and overthinking it?
