Prepare yourself to read a whole lot of exactly what you told everybody not to say :jess:

I was only 11 the first time I saw it, and I was around other people, so I had to act tough... But I was actually rather sad. Poor Aeris =(

Meh. I wasn't bothered. I did find it funny how there was no blood though. I never really used Aeris so I didn't have any emotion towards her death.

Darkblade

Haha yeah I have to agree with you. The funniest part at that moment was there was no blood. Just what the hell?! :lol:

Aeris, died so early, only on the first disc. It was a horrible, tragic event, that will cause people around the VG world to have nightmares. I wish Yuffie would have died! Anyways, post your opinion here. (And Sephiroth fanatics/Tifa lovers/Aeris haters, dont just write "I laughed 'cause she was worthless.")

This thread again:eek:

I hardly think anyone had nightmares because of that...

The first time i saw it i remember saying:

"Oh...she might be hurt."

Seconds later i understood she was dead and was actually happy that the most annoying FFVII character died i only regret the fact that Sephiroth didn´t cut her head off.

ok lets place bets... I bet that this will end up another "I hate Aerith thread"

*Lady luck*

10-01-2006, 01:22 AM

ok question: is it worth it to level her up.. becuase she will just die anyways

ok question: is it worth it to level her up.. becuase she will just die anyways

I always use her to grow materia so i can give it later on to Vincent and Cid who are the last to join the party then i completely stop using her until i´m forced in the Temple.

P.S: I still wish Sephiroth took her head off.

And yet they did show blood for Sephiroth at the end.

And anyways, by the time I played the game everyone had basically learend that Aeris dies, so it wasn't a really big deal. I was still kinda sad to see her go though.

I laughed. But not because Aeris died, but because I was fighting Jenova had the Water Ring.

No one would have had nightmares about her death, but I personally would have nightmares about all the threads just like these. No offense, but seriously, GET OVER IT.

Shrugged and moved on with life. Ain't like it was the first time a friend died in an RPG. Hell, I'd had to kill them before.

10-01-2006, 10:37 AM

I did find it funny how there was no blood though.

According to this site (http://www.ffcompendium.com/h/nitem.shtml), "When piercing the flesh, it would shed no blood, as the Masamune was not "bloodthirsty", which explains why no blood was shed when Sephiroth killed Aeris in FF7."

I beat Jenova, saved the game, and cut the grass before starting disk 2. I played to about halfway through North Crater, then saved before eating supper. I ate 2 pork chops, mashed potatoes, and corn. I then watched some t.v. and eventually went to bed. And that, my friends, is exactly what I did when Aeris died when I first got that far in the game 4 years ago.

Breine

10-01-2006, 01:20 PM

As far as I remember I was pretty sad because I actually liked her and her magic abilities and wonderful protective limit breaks, but what is there to do, right? I've gotten over it, although I still use her a lot for as long as I can when I play Final Fantasy VII.

10-01-2006, 03:01 PM

the very first time i saw it i had my mind made up that earis was meant to be the antagonists romance so i never had her out of my party n when she died i was like " . . . . . ZOMG!!!"

Dragon Mage

10-01-2006, 06:16 PM

The funniest part at that moment was there was no blood. Just what the hell?!

She's not human....

I laughed, and cheered for Sephiroth!! (yay sephiroth)

I was more concerned for the materia I had on her than her. That, and if anyone was actually going to pull off some insanely romantic and cheesy thing to save her. 'Cause that would've ruined the whole thing for me.

ok lets place bets... I bet that this will end up another "I hate Aerith thread"

Now, now, I don't think that'll happen. I bet it'll become a 'let's all post something to piss off the Aeris lovers!' thread.

Gee, I never thought that you would hate Aeris that much. Hahaha...

boys from the dwarf

10-01-2006, 06:41 PM

its a great and emotional scene and sephiroth is great in it. his cold hearlessness.

aeris was my least favourite main character on FF7 and it was neccasary for her to die. if she had lasted throughout the whole game, they would have seriously needed to change her personality because i dont think aeris is a very likeable character.

one of my favourite scenes in the game though.

~SapphireStar~

10-01-2006, 06:53 PM

I was shocked. I'd read about it in a computer games mag, so I was prepared for it, although they didnt mention which disk. So I was double shocked when it was disk 1. I thought it would be disk 3! But a great scene and the music was what pulled at me and I almost cried. The song still moves me to tears.

10-01-2006, 07:58 PM

I was kinda "Awww poor cloud he never got to be with her:(" but then I didn't really give a fuck coz I loved the battle with Jenova. That was a great battle.:)

Eh, it was too easy to really call 'great'.

10-01-2006, 08:36 PM

i didn't think any thing about it if they had voices in the game i would of but i don't

edit
I've just replayed that part but this time i felt like crying but i didn't

Alive-Cat

10-01-2006, 08:41 PM

I was quite shocked, as I'd been living in FFVII for the previous months and had no idea of what was going to happen next.
But the battle with Jenova was fun. One of the easiest in the whole game, I think.
Water Ring. :heart:

10-02-2006, 03:01 AM

I didn't care much,i was more into Tifa.

Anyway,this somehow reminds me of a thread(more than a year old) with a member saying how he tried to "revive" Aeris with gameshark,but afterwards regret it because she had no soul and he felt she was more like a zombie...
The best part is that he was serious:D
This was the funniest post i've ever read on the internet,wish someone could post a link to that thread,please!!!!

10-10-2006, 03:16 AM

I don't think is a wise thread title. There aren't many, but I'd guess that there are a few people who dont' know that Aeris dies. And if they wanted to find out when it happened, sucks for them, they now know.

Anyway, I figured it wasn't permanent. I figured we'd have to bring her back to life, Chrono Trigger style. It was weird because up until shortly before the end of the game, I was waiting for Cloud or someone to talk about how we were gonna go about bringing her back. And it just never happened.

The first time I saw the scene where she gets aced, we were playing on a surround sound system with a hefty subwoofer. You could feel the sound of the blade being pulled out of her. It was surreal, honestly. And the fact that the music continues into the fight with Jenova just draws out the feeling.

Laddy

10-10-2006, 04:21 AM

I cried for about thirty minutes, had a dream that Aeris came from heaven to watch over my family and help us learn to become pure people..........................................................HAHAHAHAHAHA! I'm Serious!

-Yes, crying at something like that happened to ME a GUY! STOP IT!

I went "Wow", turned it off, went to my computer, and downloaded the soundtrack. Awesome death song.

Rinion

I cared little. She was just another fell character in an attempt to turn around an already boorish plot. So long as Vincent still lives, I'm sure we are all just fine and dandy.

Wow. I have to disagree. If anyone of methodic principles didn't know, they would should they read the FAQ thread. That was the first thing I did. So, meh.

Besides, the game has been out for over ten years. I believe it was after one or two when spoiler tags are deemed unneeded.

Zeromus_X

10-10-2006, 07:06 AM

Wow. I have to disagree. Some people may have actually not played up to that point of the game, regardless of however many X years it's been released.

Coming to the FFVII board and described its plot as "boorish" isn't wise, either. I mean, obviously, you're coming into a thread where people are discussing their emotional reactions to a very emotional moment in video game history. You know, the kind where you watch a sword go through a main character's lower torso, accompanied by emotional music and a surreal scene of FMV as Cloud later releases her into the water and she slowly sinks. If you come here talking like that, you're only going to get responses like the one I'm giving you now. Makes me think that maybe you're only hoping to stir up something like this.

I guess Vincent's a good guy. To me, it seems like they took Vincent's personality, and then overdid it to create Auron.

Vincent > Auron

Furthermore, I know this guy who has never seen Return of the Jedi, and two nights ago, he and I watched Star Wars, and last night we watche The Empire Strikes Back. I can guarantee that if someone spoiled Return of the Jedi for him, he'd be mighty sore over it, even though the film was released in 1983.

And there are way more people who still have yet to play FFVII than those who have yet to watch RotJ.

Though you didn't care, Aeris' death may have been the biggest emotional moment in the game, even surpassing the game's ending.

I got very depressed over it. I was so into the storylien by this point. (True power there - Well done SquareSoft!) I was actually drinking over it...

There was also a bit of irony in it as well, concidering the names I gave to Cloud Tifa and Aeris.

Jimsour

10-10-2006, 07:12 PM

I opened a can of coke and sat on my bed. I already knew she was going to die because I skipped a few pages on my walkthrough by accident.. :rolleyes:

McLovin'

10-10-2006, 08:45 PM

I read the internet before I played FF7 thus I knew everything before I should have.

When she died I thought how the hell can Cloud just stand there while a foot ahead of him Aerith sinks down and down and down. Cloud does not look like he is floating...

Rinion

10-11-2006, 01:45 AM

Alright, I apologise. However, I never enjoyed Final Fantasy Seven. I guess it was because I didn't play it until after I played VIII and had very high expectations. But, meh. I was giving my own outlook at the game, as well as how I felt. If you deem telling the truth unwise, do be it. *shrugs*

I knew it was coming. I didnt care much. I never used her. I replaced her w/ Red XIII as soon as I could.

I also wish Barret could have died. And Yuffie. And maybeCid could have lost an arm or something. And Cait Sith, but only bc there's more than one of him.

Avarice-ness

01-02-2007, 12:47 AM

If I would have played it for the first time at this age I think I would have been mad because I would have leveled up.

But since I was 12 it went like this.

Game: *STAB*
Me: OH NO!!
Game: *Sephiroth Smirks*
Me: *shocked and confused and thinking Sephiroth had a great smile*
Game: *JENOVA*
Me: YOU DIDN'T EVEN GIVE HER TIME TO DIE. ; ;
Game: *Tifa runs off all sad*
Me: *crying like a small baby*

Then it ended up me being angry at the game. :mad2:

Goldenboko

01-02-2007, 12:56 AM

A big old grin came across my face and I cried aloud in merth and merriment, it made my day.... It still warms my heart :heart:

PS- Not lying, I hated Aeris.

,,,

01-02-2007, 01:45 AM

I assumed I would never play FFVII, so I read the plot/spoilers on it. This was before I knew what emulators were. When I did play it I knew what would happen, so I never used her in my party when I could avoid it. Waste of exp. Never got attached that way. between that and knowing it would happen, I just didn't care at all.

and I still cried.

I don't see why people dislike Aeris, she was a kind and warm hearted person........what's not to like about that?

And after she died, it became twice as hard to keep your parties HP up.

Well, she was not a monochromatic personality. She was also a rather callous bitch at times too. And she was also this close to being a Mary Sue.

And after she died, it became twice as hard to keep your parties HP up.

No. It didn't. Aerith's healing limits were powerful, but their restriction of use made them significantly less useful.

if u are nice to her in the game she’s a really nice girl if your not she’s a cow i was nice to her and i found it very sad when she died but it really added to the game.

Dude, she's a snark-fest despite your actions. She was a snark when I got the Aerith date, she was a Snark when I didn't.

I thought," hmm, aeris died. Meh i didnt use her much anyway"

Then on the second time through and on I thought," Jeez why couldnt she have died earlier so I dont have to use her in the temple of ancients"

I was sad moved.

then I got killed by Jenova, so I got to watch her die again.

I've only ever had Tifa on the date so I've been nice to Aerith..
I dont want her if she's mean!

Ryushikaze

01-03-2007, 10:46 PM

She's not particularly snarky on the date. All the dates are worth seeing, anyways. Even Barret's, though it's not really a 'date'.

If you want to see the date scenes you can watch them on Youtube...

senecawolf

01-04-2007, 09:50 PM

The first time I played and she died I was kind of shocked but then I got mad because all the materia I had on her dissapeared!! It must've been a glitch in the game or something so I played it again and made sure that when she left that she didn't get ANY of my materia. I wasn't really that sad though because she created that annoying love triangle in the game:mog:

Zerok

01-05-2007, 03:37 AM

Personally, I stared at the screen and went like this: :eek:

I was stunned. I had put so many hours into leveling the character and Sephiroth just HAD to take it all away. Jerk. He's a jerk.

I tried to get Yuffie's date once, I thought I was doing pretty good too. Then when the date part came up, Aeris came in. So I deliberately stuffed up the date and she slapped Cloud in her anger. So she can be a bitch sometimes, although I heard Tifa's worse if you stuff up her date.

Takara

01-07-2007, 02:51 AM

Won 10$. I told my friends Carl and Daniel something along the lines of "You know, this is one big cliché we have here. The heroine runs away from the main group thinking she alone can do something to stop the villain. I bet you 5$ that she'll end up hurt or dead."

Yes, it was my first playthrough. No, Carl and Daniel never accepted to take bets with me again when playing videogames.

Kita

01-07-2007, 05:40 PM

I was like "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Only because I couldn't watch the death scene due to the game freezing always at the specific moment ;;

Slade

01-10-2007, 09:46 AM

I knew it was going to happen as I had seen it a while back when my friend played it. When I finally got around to purchasing VII and got to the part of Aeris' death, I remember thinking; "What? This early???. I could've sworn this part happen later on, like, the last disk".
