All the character's have the own reaction to (SPOILER)Aeris' death which is still to this day one of my favourite scenes for the share depression I get of it.
Which reaction is best?
*Not sure if Barret's threatening or gesturing

You asked, I answered. I was too busy clapping to read any of the dialogue in that scene.Quote:

Why the hell did my reply get deleted? What I said was...
Yuffie's. It's so insensitively comical.
Not necessarily you can get Yuffie anytime from just before Junon, so on all my saves she would have known Aeris a long time. I guess on your's she's just over emotional I guess? ;) Well I guess that's how I'd react to a death like that, though not infront of everyone.Quote:

I think the death scene was ruined for me because I knew about it so far in advance, and when it finally came around, it was just so awkward and stilted and filled with terribly translated blocky unemotional dialog that well...it was stupid. SO yeah, I didn't really have much of an emotional response to it other than "wtf was the point of getting her final limit break and ultimate weapon 5 seconds before she dies...I never get to f'ing use them when they would be useful."
Thank you for explaining Barret for me, that makes a lot of sense in character.Quote:

Tifa's is so funny! Makes sure she's dead hahaha
I always thought Yuffie's reaction was really emotional, and yes, kinda strange, as she wasn't very close with Aeris. But it just goes to show if someone you're working with closely dies, it can be very upsetting. :(
I think Yuffie's reaction showed it was okay to have an outpouring of grief. Tifa was too guarded of her emotions, and Yuffie is excitable, so it was a plausible reaction to what happened, even if it was out of character.
I don't think Tifa was checking to see if she's dead (yes that would be hillarious), I saw it as Tifa was going over to her side and putting her hand on her to say her last goodbyes, and then is too overcome with emotion, so she runs out of the room because she doesn't want anyone to see her cry, because she is supposed to be tough.
It doesn't make sense for Yuffie to be the most upset, so I think it's just that she was the most VISIBLY upset. This is because she is much younger than everyone else and much more blatant and extroverted in her emoting.
I haven't actually seen anyone's reactions besides Tifa/Barret/Cloud, but that is what makes the most sense.
MJN SEIFER, you mean to tell me they put a picture of Aeris getting stabbed on the back of the box? Man, what a bunch of morons. But then again, people in marketing usually are morons.
No. They have a picture of her lying down in the water with Cloud holding her, (the send off). But as there's no blood or anything that screams out "death" it didn't click with me.Quote:

As far as best reaction, I guess yuffie's.
I had it majorly spoiled for me, the first time I saw Aerith (in the opening scene of the game) one of my many and various brothers said, "She dies." So yeah, I knew it the first time I saw the game.
I like Tifa's and Cloud's reactions.
