Since I really can't decide between Aeris's Theme and Tifa's Theme, I prefer "Water", because it blends both themes together and makes it sound pretty.

I'm bad at identifying music but I never really heard their themes play together... maybe it's just a coincidence and they sound the same (I can definetely hear the Tifa part but maybe it's more of a similarity than anything and not neccessarily all-out intentional by Uematsu).
I guess I'm in the minority in saying that I like Tifa's theme better. For me, it also has to do with the fact that I prefer Tifa's character to Aeris's, so I guess that allows me to connect more with the music on an emotional level. That's very important to me with music.
To tell you the truth, I don't know, I acknowledge Aeris's theme as a beautiful peice of music, Nobuo Uematsu even said it was his favorite.

But I just never felt it... it's the
one song on the AC OST that I skip because it bores me. If we're speaking in musical terms, however, Aeris's theme seems harder to and more complicated to play on the piano. Still, I like Tifa's theme better. It has a... nostalgic and romantic feel to it which reminds me of the character I love and her childhood with a certain someone. =P
All in all Aeris's remains a huge fan favorite though. Oh well, Tifa's
FTW!!!
