One thing I felt that the remake really did right was capturing the sort of personality Aeris had in the original and the chemistry she had with Cloud. But like I said, I can live with Cloud/Tifa. It's even basically what happens in the original. Aeris doesn't deserve to be stuck with stupid Zack though. Even Red XIII would be better. Heck, even Cait Sith would.
As for Advent Children, I lump that in with the "cash in sequels" so I don't really want to remember what happened in it (and mostly don't).
