Aeris

I think the name of the Materia is Revive, as in, you revive someone from being unconscious. I'm pretty sure they call the lvl2 spell Full Life, but anyone who cares can go to gamefaqs and verify.

So, yeah, it's like in (SPOILER) FFV where Galuf dies, and casting life doesn't work. They tried it, but it didn't work..

ive really gotta play the other FF games, from what ive heard they're all brilliant. ive got to the final fight on 8, but dont no any secrets. I've little knowledge on 10, borrowed it for about a week

The materia is called Revive; the spells are Life and Life2. The name has been Full-Life in subsequent FF's (starting at FFVIII), but here the numerical spell categorization is still used. The spell was called Raise 2 in FFT, which was released between VII and VIII.

I've not been reading trough all this... but am I the only one who likes both Aeris and Tifa? :greenie:

Hey, Aeris's cool. As characters per se, I like them both.

There is an interesting thread here going on called "City of Ancients." It talks about Aeris's death, and hacking the game, or at least a link there talks about this.

EDIT:
thread: http://forums.eyesonff.com/showthread.php?t=59086
website with stuff about Aeris, her death and hacking the game:

Read all those "what we shouldn't have seens," as they pertain to Aeris's death and are very interesting.

i like Tifa too -- just not in the way guys would. but she's a valuable asset in battle.

I dunno, but Im pretty sure it's your fault.

no, it's Shlup's fault. :D

For that matter, why did all the girls in ff7 love Cloud so much? He's stupid looking and a total head case!

Also just because Aerith sometimes had an optimistic friendly exuberant personality doesn't mean that she wasn't street smart. Also such personality traits do not mean she was completely innocent. She was street smart enough to know what Don Corneo's places were, enough to bargain with traders such as the time she bargained with and convinced a man in Wall Market to make a dress for Cloud and enough to receive good money for her flowers in Wall Market. She's referred to in the game as a good business woman and her business talent is again commented on in Itadaki Street Special, I heard that Tifa a fellow business woman says that Aerith has a knack for making profits :)

She was also very brave at times such as the time she gave herself up to protect Marlene and when she followed her destiny by praying for Holy.

I kind of find it sad that if you're kind, friendly or optimistic as Aerith was or indeed as I am and others that I know are you get thought of as stupid :(

You just got a kick ass star in my book.

The whole Aeris thing was kinda spoiled for me. Though I've never been big on spoilers having a profound effect at ruining things. It's the experience, not the knowlege. So it felt the same watching it as it would have if it just hit me. I didn't like watching Aeris die. I was quite fond of her really. And spent months obsessing over the rumors, trying out all the more likely ones, to try and bring her back. It wasn't because she was a decent fighter or anything. I just liked her personality, the air she carried about her, and I wanted to have her back around. It was indeed a sad loss. But I have to admit. The fire of hatred has never burned more fiercely for an FF villain, than what I felt towards Sephiroth after watching it for the first time.

Edit: By the way, not that it matters, but I like both the ladies for their own reasons. Though the only FF gal I've ever disliked was Yuna, so that's not very surprising.

I can't see how people can be upset that Aerith dies...
I mean, sure she can be useful in battle sometimes, but Sephiroth killing her is no different than Cloud and the group killing countless amounts of Monsters and soldiers. Just think how the families of the Soldiers are going to feel when they find out that some Spikey haired guy killed their Son/Husband/etc with his big sword.

And nobody thinks that its sad when You kill Heidegger and Scarlet?
Or when Reno kicks Don Corneo off the statue in Wutai.

Just because it doesn't have fancy music or a fancy FMV, you don't give two craps about other characters dying...

But yeah, I thought Aerith's death was pretty sad.

They presented those deaths in a comical fashion.

I thought Rude's death was powerful. Not tearjerking, but it was a powerful moment in the game.

And obviously Sephiroth's death. You feel excited until you see Cloud's expression on his face. :(

It's not comical for somebody to get pushed off a statue and die. You people make me sick.

When does Rude die?

whoops, I meant Rufus.

EDIT: and of course the Don's death was funny, under the context of how they presented the event in the midst of humor. You should react similarly to a looney tunes cartoon when the coyote as a little encounter with gravity. Obviously, if someone fell of a cliff in real life, that's NOT funny.

Yes it was really sad.

:(
But it would be worse if it was Tifa :sweatdrop
