Someone forgot to mention that yes, you can choose to have Tifa and Aerith in bikinis, so I'd say it's a fair trade.
The site I followed which had Tifa's Panty getting cutoff (featured in both Tekken 8 Tifa Guest Character article & FFVII Rebirth removes Tifa's Panties) didn't forget, their article about Tifa's Panty removed (mainly if you were Cloud you get to go into Tifa's room & collect her “orthopedic underwear”) was published by SankakuComplex on Feb 9, 2024 and Tifa & Aerith in Bikinis just came out on Feb 22, 2024.
Another thing having bikinis while taking away content from original FFVII, is a very bad trade.
Back in April 2021, I correctly predicted several bespoke qualities in the real Final Fantasy VII that would likely be cut or censored. Now that I have previewed Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (the second part of three), I have been able to confirm what exactly has been cut.

Bikinis are nice to have (they could easily be things to have if they decide to bring Tifa & Aerith in FF spin offs or other games), but they should be additions not a replacement of removed/censored content from previous games.
The only trades I take game's price tag being expensive like $69.99 (or even higher), Monetization Practices (like $92 Season Passes & Spend $600 on Microtransactions on a Gacha Game to get 1 Outfit behind that paywall), and games that were running on limited budget/resources or commit to asset flips (like buying pre-built assets found in Unreal or Unity Store).
