While true, there are many awkward things in the game.

(Note I have not played the remake, it's still incomplete, and I probably won't get around to it anyway, to be honest.)

One of the characters is a puppet controlled by one of the enemy.

If you pick Aeris and Tifa to go in your party outside of Midgar to advance the plot, which leaves Barret and Red XIII to wander together, they have the game say "I figured it would work out like this" like a little dig that you wanted to level the mage and the fighter more than the other two, implying that you wanted to be with the ladies. On the flip side of that, if you pick Barret and Red XIII, the game says "Oh ... I did not expect you'd do that" implying that you're gay because you wanted all the guys.

You could also accidentally/intentionally date Barrett if you set everything up correctly. You'd be with him on the ferris wheel in the amusement park.

One character is a ninja, who in order to get on your team, you had to wander around a specific forest area in order to get to appear, and then correctly answer a series of questions just to get her on your team. Otherwise you had to wander in circles in the forest as you go towards Juneau to try and get her again.

Cloud isn't even who he said he is. He was one of the many grunts that got easily dispatched, while pretending he was one of the cool guys.

Then there's the whole Cloud regressed into himself after an event, and had to be rehabilitated by Tifa. He was in a wheelchair and everything.

The whole Jenova could be Sephiroth's mother, or maybe not. Or maybe jenova was controlling him the whole time sub plot that they leave ambiguous unless you do a very specific set of things in order to get the truth.

There are at least a half dozen get it now or you'll miss it items and materia that you can 100% miss accidentally if you didn't know to visit X location at Y time, because they'll disappear and you won't get most of that until the final disc when some of it, but not all, becomes available again.

Tonberry all over the place, in groups of more than one, along the way to fight the boss for the final time. Not awkward, but also not cool.

There's a lot more, and I'd go into it, but there's a limit to both attention spans and a text limit here, and I'm probably getting close. Basically I mean there's a ton of awkward decisions in FFVII aside from the obvious is what I'm getting at.
