1. If Aeris had lived, and if she and Cloud established a long term relationship, how would Tifa handle it? Would she get angry and vengeful (which seems against her character design), or would she reason that it's okay if Cloud is happy?
I think Tifa would probably just pretend she's happy for them and keep everything bottled up inside... but I also think she'd eventually move on. She didn't really know Cloud all that well, after all... most of her knowledge was just made up through her imagination, Cloud himself, and JENOVA.

2. What would Cloud's reaction be if he found out that Sephiroth had been an innocent victim all along? (Innocent of burning the village, ALWAYS under JENOVA's control.) Would he forgive him and end the hate, would he end up hating himself, or would he continue to hate Sephiroth and feel vengeful (since his motives are based on vengence in the game).
I don't really know. For one thing, my perception of FF7 is way skewed because of all the talk about it I heard before playing. In the actual game, I got Cloud being motivated more by the plot of the game than revenge. ^^; Most of the time, I had no idea what he was doing or why he was doing it.
However, I think Cloud would forgive him, eventually. He knows what it's like to be controlled by others, and I think he'd be willing to give Sephiroth another chance.

3. If Kuja killed Garnet in front of Zidane, how would Zidane take it? Would he end up hating Kuja and getting revenge? Or would he forgive him eventually and (still return to save his life in the end)?
I'm tempted to say that Zidane would leave Kuja for dead just because that's what I would have done, but that's probably not what would happen. ^^;
It really depends on what point in the game this happened. If it happened before the whole Terra thing, I think Zidane would probably forgive Kuja when he forgives him for everything else. If it happened afterward, say during Memoria, I think Zidane would be far too upset to even think about doing anything but pound Kuja's face in.

4. What if Cloud had just been the biggest jerk on the face of the planet? I'm talking HORRIBLE. Would Zack have put as much effort into saving his life? Or would have have said, "Screw you Cloud, I'm going home."
And he isn't one already? ^^;
Just kidding. I think Zack's the kind of person who would either be completely oblivious to Cloud's attitude, or would help him anyway because he's got a hero complex.

5. How would the entire story of FFVIII have changed (from Squall's point-of-view) if Rinoa had ended up with Seifer? Consider the affects of this happening at different points in the story.
Well, Squall would die during Time Compression after beating Ultimecia, if he even manages to make it that far. Without Rinoa there to pull him out, he'd be lost within himself forever. Before that, he'd just be cold to everyone around him like always.
