Happy (early) birthday Julie (tomorrow)!
In a game with all sorts of special moves, shiny weapons and Ouran style rose petal effects, fighting with punches and kicks stands out despite being the most classic least flashy thing. Sure Tifa has her own version of the Kamehameha but many of her attacks are inconveniently short range at the level she is when finishing her chapter for the first time. Even so, it's fun to play as Tifa and beat them up like in classy fighting games... or maybe I'm just a sadist. My choice still stands however, that if possible I intend to fight the last boss with Lightning since she has a certain coolness to her, rose petals aside. As for the new characters' fighting style, I still thing that Laguna and Yuna are the easiest to play as, especially Laguna.
