would you?

[Drift]

wouldn't you (if you was cloud) jumped to save aeris when you see sephiroth coming down on her with his stupidly large katana/nodaichi??? i knw i would have

[Lenna]

lol Are you sure about that? Anyway, you didnt see Sephiroth coming down til moments before. and you were sort of 2 big stone steps away if I remember correctly. Even if Cloud did jump, she still would have died.

[Drift]

ok then dived and pushed her away i mean cloud did survive gettin skewered by him and threw him away while he woz gettin skewered so im sure he would survive neway

[TheAbominatrix]

He was too far away to stop Sephiroth. The played the scene in slow-mo, but it happened very quickly and Cloud was too far away. And to be honest, no, I wouldnt have.

[Lenna]

Is that due to a disliking of Aeris or is that just cause you want to live? :P

[Levian]

Gotta credit Sephiroth for aiming that well when he jumped off a roof, or whatever he jumped off. I'd probably miss her by a mile or something.

[Lenna]

I liked Aeris just didn't like her in battles, the only time I actually noticed she was there was in the storyline, not in battles. I found it quite irritating thought first time I played the game when I HAD to use her in my party for the Temple of Ancients. Especially fighting a big boss like Demon Wall.. I was well cheesed off lol

[TheAbominatrix]

Is that due to a disliking of Aeris or is that just cause you want to live? :P

Because I know she needs to die for things to turn out right in the end, and I really dont care if she lives or not.

Now if I was in the game, traveling with her and not knowing how things would turn out, I'd probably try.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

Cloud wasn't too far away. He was standing right over Aeris about to chop her up himself before he came to his senses and Jenovaroth had to step in and make sure business was taken care of. Not that it'd make a difference, since it'd still be a heck of a trick to intercept a falling body/huge sword.

[Lenna]

Ah the words of a true hero :P. Personally I'd probably try but I'd wonder if she'd be thankful for it lol. I mean she goes there, willing/knowing she's probably going to face death, and basically faces death without.. meaning she either knew she needed to die in order to save the planet or she wanted to die to protect the planet.. regardless of whether it would or not.

[TheAbominatrix]

I'm not a hero. I'm not gonna make false claims that I'm so brave and awesome I'd try to save her.

Oh that's right... good Lord I cant remember any of that game anymore. That's it, I'm starting a new file.

[Levian]

Hmm, I JUST GOT AN IDEA! No, really! I did!

Ok, so Aeris summoned holy right? and the holy came at the end, but then holy screwed up and the meteor kept on doing his job, and then the lifestream r0x0red the meteors b0x0rz, so Aeris died in vain, eh? Not that I mind or anything, but y'know. :cool:

[Lenna]

lol The way you sounded was like a hero :P but I never said you was one *legs it :P*
teehee. I'm currently just after Rocket Town, after you get the Tiny Bronco in my personal save, and I'm at Shinra BLDG in the Save I'm using to help a mate through the game. lol TBH I'm In love with my personal save.. I havent died yet :D <3. Not to a single boss or enemy :D *dead chuffed*

The implication offered by Aerith's Theme heralding the arrival of the Lifestream and her face appearing in its wake would be that she guided the Lifestream to take action against Meteor, adding more energy to Holy. If the Lifestream was going to step in anyway, Holy wouldn't have been needed to begin with. However, the Lifestream didn't seem to be stopping Meteor on its own. Recall that its tendrils coalesce beneath Holy, and the last thing we see of Holy and Meteor is a bright white flash emanating from directly in the center of Holy where the Lifestream's tendrils were gathering, suggesting that Holy became strong enough to counter Meteor:

The Lifestream gathers (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v132/Squall_of_Seed/HolyandLifestream.jpg).
Meteor is countered (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v132/Squall_of_Seed/MeteorisNeutralized.jpg).

Aerith's death wasn't in vain. She just didn't know she was going to die, and at the time, her death seemed to have accomplished absolutely nothing, as it wasn't known she had succeeded in calling forth Holy or that she was even trying to. However, it was a stroke of fortune on the part of the world that she did, as that allowed her to be within the Lifestream when the critical moment arrived.

[TheAbominatrix]

... *thwap*

Oi!!!!!!! That hurt! :P *pokes with a stick* hah got ya :P *giggles*

[TheAbominatrix]

Well... it... I... I AM AWESOME! *runs*

[Lenna]

It I??? You stumbling over your own words there teeheee!!! :D *dives on you pins you to ground then chains you up n leaves ya to go play FF7 hahahaha!!!* Like to see you get out of THAT one *grins* Mrs Awesome even argh assumings always bad lolol

[TheAbominatrix]

:skull2:

[Lenna]

:D hah can't get out of it then can you :P. anyway yeah back to the topic lol. Aeris had no idea what the materia was for right? and that I think her mother told her she'd know when to use it. that parts probably wrong but I'm pretty sure that's what Aeris said. So if Aeris didn't Die then the holy wouldn't have been summoned would it? I think that it's when she Returns to the planet that she summons it.

[Squall of SeeD]

She knew what it was for once she got to the City of the Ancients, the same as Bugenhagen learned what it was for when he got there. The knowledge of the Cetra floating around in the air there told him, and would have likewise told her. Dying had nothing to do with it, however. Bugenhagen explains how the White Materia works, and dying had nothing to do with it:


Bugenhagen
"Holy... the ultimate White Magic. Magic that might stand against
Meteor. Perhaps our last hope to save the planet from Meteor."
"If a soul seeking Holy reaches the planet, it will appear."

...

Cloud
"Search for Holy... How do we do it?"

Bugenhagen
"Speak to the planet."
"Get the White Materia... This will bond the Planet to humans."

Bugenhagen
"Then speak to the planet."
"If our wish reaches the planet, the White Materia will begin to
glow a pale green."

Her prayer would have gone through before she died. She knew it had. She was locked so deeply in concentration on praying that she didn't even look up when Cloud was going to crush her with the Buster Sword, but a moment before she is impaled, she looks up and smiles.

[Lenna]

Wow, never thought that was the case but you're right :), I just don't get why holy didn't react sooner than later if she had already prayed for it?

Why wait for the last minute like? :/

[Savannah]

Hell no.
I put down the controller to clap in celebration, as a matter of fact.

[Lenna]

LOL that's just cruel though. She did play a significant part in FF7 although she was rubbish at fighting, she was heartwarming and caring towards others.. She even changed Cloud!!!

[Drift]

its neva nice 2 wish sum1 death even if u do h8 em, bt seriously if dat woz real life with sum punk ass thief about 2 skewer my m8 id jump in

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

[Lenna]

1f 21d y8t m3b 4 2b

Omg... I'm confused..!!! what the heck does that mean lolol??

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

Exactly.

[Dr.K]

I've have most likely been too dopey to realise Sepiroth even WAS falling down with a big-off sword about to skewer her. So, sadly if I had been the game's main character, the same fate would have resulted *sighs* Although I would AT LEAST have fulfilled the duty of singing 'another one bites the dust' after the event

[Lenna]

lmfao!!!!! @ Another one bites the dust. That would be classic though. I mean, if you were in the game Dr.K and you came out with that I'd be in hysterics. lmao That'd definitely brighten up my day. I'd be laughing for hours!

[Squall of SeeD]

Wow, never thought that was the case but you're right :), I just don't get why holy didn't react sooner than later if she had already prayed for it?

Why wait for the last minute like? :/

Because it was being held back by JENOVA/Sephiroth. It wasn't free to move until after AVALANCHE defeated them inside the Planet.

[Dking'squeen]

I'd let her die and then applaud Sephy

[Chibi Angel]

ok then dived and pushed her away i mean cloud did survive gettin skewered by him and threw him away while he woz gettin skewered so im sure he would survive neway

If I'd been skewered once before and was lucky enough to survive I sure as hell wouldn't be all that eager to jump in and see if I can get lucky twice

[Camanche]

Um.. wasn't Cloud like.. being controlled by Sephiroth at the time, so he wouldn't of been able to jump in to save her?

[Mercen-X]

I don't care. I would've just thrown that big-ass Buster Sword of his straight up through Sephiroth's head. Who knows? Maybe it would have prevented the summoning of Meteor if Cloud believed he had succeeded in killing his arch-nemesis. Then the only people they'd be left to deal worth would be the Shinra.

[BackRoomKid]

....hmmm, when i first played the game, i thought cloud's body was still being in control of sephorith or jenova...that's why he never really made that least bit of effort to save her

[Drift]

he came 2 his sense a few minutes back

[Camanche]

I could of sworn he was still being controlled. And if not, Sephiroth just cropped down out of nowhere. Gravity tends to act a lot faster then human beings do.

[Levian]

Gravity tends to act a lot faster then human beings do.

Except for Jesus! :cool:

[Del Murder]

I wouldn't go near it.
