Reviving Aeris

[Destai]

Can anyone tell me how to revive her? :confused: Post any of the stratedgies on reviving her you've heard of and the conditions you must do to see the second ending.

[Vyk]

Uh... that doesn't look like a joke. But even if you don't know it; you are, indeed, joking. There's no strategy (: Only programs, cracks, and such.

You can't revive aeris. It isnt possible Deal with it. There is no second ending either. No one has any proof of it or anything. Your just wasting all of your time trying to find it out.

[DJZen]

It's easy, you just drink a gallon of your own urine while playing in traffic. Oh and it helps to eat rancid meat.

[Destai]

No its true! My friend showed it to me! Things you will need to complete this activity:

Four Tissues (lose battles at the arena)

One mastered Revive materia

The Apocalypse (Clouds 3x growth weapon)

Four hours of playing time (on average)

Every player of the game is familiar with the revive materia, the one that contains the spells life and life2. What most do not know is the fact that this materia can gain AP even after it has been mastered, with an interesting result. Revive can be leveled up to level four, even though it only has three visible levels.

To obtain the extra level, you must first accumulate 800,000 AP after revive has been mastered (Depending on how you played the game, you may have to get up to 1,500,000 AP. The most efficient way to go about doing this is to obtain Cloud's triple growth weapon, the Apocalypse (as far as is known, no other weapon works), and fasten the mastered revive materia to it. You should then go to a place where you can get lots of AP, such as the North Cave. Fight the Magic Pots (the ones that ask for elixirs) until you have accumulated the required AP. You should then have received another spell for revive, Resurrect.

It's obvious what you must use the new spell for. The next place that you must go is to Aeris' house in Midgar. If you have not already obtained the Sector 5 key, you must go to the Bone Village and have the diggers dig next to the airplane. Once you have the key, proceed to Midgar, and visit Aeris' house. Go to her room.

Nothing will happen at first, but you can spur on an important series of events if you use four tissues (lose or win fights in the battle arena) next to Aeris' bed. After you do this, Cloud will be overcome with grief, and will yell, "Why did you have to die?." Once he composes himself, the other people in your party will come out, and Cloud will discuss with them his desire to bring Aeris back to life. They will question you at first, but will soon be brought to agreement.

Your group will suggest that you visit the church in Midgar, where you may find some insight on how to get Aeris back.

On the way to the church, use the savepoint to access your PHS. Make sure that your party includes Cait Sith. Then enter the church (if this is your first time in it after disk one, you will see a ghost of Aeris). The two children who appear next to the flower bed will ask where the flower girl is, but will then notice the cat (Cait Sith) in your group. They will ask to play with the cat, and Cait will agree to it and leave the church with the children. The ghost of Aeris will then appear before you. She will mention the resurrect spell (which you should already have), and will tell you to go to the Ancient City, which is your next destination. Retrieve Cait Sith from the children and proceed.

At the city, go to the spot where Bugenhagen inserted the key (the waterfall with the crystal in the middle of it) and enter the waterfall. Here, Cloud will remember what Aeris told him, and will take the Revive materia out of his pocket (or wherever it was at the time). He will mutter, "I never got to tell you...," and begin to cry. Composing himself, Cloud will place the materia on the pedestal in the center of the waterfall and kneel before it in prayer. The materia glows brightly and begins to shimmer with a green light. It then turns into a ball of light and shatters. In front of Cloud, the crystal glows so brightly that he must hide his eyes from it. When the light goes down again, Cloud looks up and sees a ghostly image of Aeris, which tells him to go back to Midgar and enter the Church.

At the church, the image of Aeris will appear again, but this time it will not vanish. Your group inspects the flower bed, and Aeris gets up and walks towards you. It is then that you notice that she is not a ghost. As if to answer your unspoken question, Aeris looks at Cloud and says, "Don't worry, Cloud, it really is me... Maybe now we can do all those things that we never finished the first time around..."

See!

Ive seen the seconds ending with my own eyes. Have you tried this out? I have and it works. Im dead serious.

...

You know, I find that the sarcastic "I've found a way to revive Aerith (but not really! This is to mock all those people who think you can even after all these years!)" Posts are far more annoying than those of the folks who genuinely are inquiring as to whether or not it's possible. Especially when the Forum where said Posts are presented haven't been seeing that question arise frequently... or even lately.

Seriously, Destai, that's not even been popping up here in recent history. For wanting to mock the concept due to despising it, you certainly gave it far more of your time in creating an elaborate ruse than is logical.

Your cries of "No, I'm serious!" only looks ridiculus in light of your opening Post asking if it's possible to revive Aerith, whereas your second one (following the first by only nine minutes) unveils an elaborate method for doing so as though you "knew" all along, rendering the asking unnecessary if you did already "know."

People who want these rumours to die are only keeping them alive with the constant mockery of them by presenting more outlandish explanations in regard to reviving Aerith.

True, there's still some folks out there wondering if it's possible today, and there will be some tomorrow, and informing them of the truth when they ask is fine, but the majority of us are well aware that if there were such things as what your insane explanation suggests within the game, they would have been long ago revealed by GameSharks unlocking the game's coding and all scenes present on them.

In any event, I somehow doubt that your intention was to help out the folks who are wondering about this matter, as the Final Fantasy VII Forum's Pinned FAQ Thread (http://forums.eyesonff.com/showthread.php?t=17635) already answers the question of "Can Aerith be revived?" with a resounding "No."

[Raven Nox]

oooo... I saw this rumor on a site! The guy even explain how he came up with the idea and why he did! XD It's fake, nice try Destai. I really have seen the site you got this from, but posting like your serious is really stuipd... gotta find that site again, I enjoyed it, as it was funny!

[DMKA]

Holy crap he's not lying.

[Masamune·1600]

No its true!...[Lies]

Destai, please don't start with this. While I fear introducing a link to one of the foremost Aeris rumor sites, I know exactly what site your information was taken from (the same site alluded to by Gullwing).

It can be found here (http://www.angelfire.com/games/TheEquinox/).


As you can see, the creator of the rumor himself has torn down the process in its entirety. Not only is said rumor false, but it has been thoroughly deconstructed by its own creator. Look to the various sections (the myth, the method, etc.) for a full overview of this fairly prominent Aeris resurrection rumor.

[ZeZipster]

Wow, I can't believe that worked!

[fire_of_avalon]

Aerith's death is an important plot point, so it would be stupid to be able to revive her within the games storyline itself. You can gameshark it, and have her avaliable in your party, I think.

And to prevent further spam, I'm closing this thread. Hurray!
