Hopefully I’m not about to write some things that will get my inbox flamed to hell and back. Personally, I don’t have any problems with any ships, but I think we can all agree the shipping wars on twt have gotten out of hand and make the fandom look very bad.

Zack Fair
To me, this is an OG pairing. He’s dead, she’s dead - it just works. They are doing their thang in the lifestream.

Cloud Strife
I myself like TifaxCloud, but I think Clotis are delulu when they try to deny that Cloud harbors any type of feelings for Aerith. Tifa has the upper hand when it comes to Cloud by default of not being DEAD. But it’s obvious throughout the story that Cloud comes to respect Aerith and genuinely care about her as a person.

Sephiroth
At different points during the development of the original game, Sephiroth and Aerith were portrayed as siblings or lovers. I could get behind an enemies to lovers trope, but ultimately he stabs her and Sephiroth is probably asexual anyway.

Tseng
During a pervy conversation between Reno and Rude on the subject of which ff girl is best girl, it's revealed that Tseng is partial to Aerith.
