yeah my test turned up empty. with the playfile with Red XIII as my closest companion, who I'd gone on the date with (and since it was chapter selection, I even checked the "date" settings and it was still set to Closest Companion), selected chapter 14 easy mode, and the teams were

Red - Barret for start of Jenova fight
Yuffie - Cait for final Jenova phase

Red - Tifa - Cait for Bahamut
Tifa - Yuffie - Barret for the wings

so I did get Tifa with both fights and what I'm struggling to remember is.... did I actually get Tifa in both Sephiroth fights in my original playthrough. I really don't think I did (which contributed to me being so pissed off at the time), which if that were true would mean that, either by chance or by something else happening in Chapter 14 she got the plum "both Seph fights" spot. My earlier post in the topic had streamers with Barret and Red XIII in that spot (and they had the Barret and Aerith dates, respectively), but the date partner must not matter since I had the Red date/top compatibility with this file too.

....just very strange, would be nice if someone could crack this code at some point, I don't think Remake's rationale for final battle partners ever went beyond "characters who stagger during the whisper fights" but at least that was something. I did have Tifa use a limit during the "2-on-1" Jenova section, but so did Red XIII.
