Seriously, if one more person points out how ANY random scene in FFVI was better than anything else ever made, I’m going to put a bullet in my head!
*ahem*
…yes, anyway while I think it might be a bit over the top start crying during Aeris’ death scene, I have to acknowledge that it was pretty depressing.
Agreed.Quote:

You didn't cry because you suck....
I didn't really want any of my characters to die permenantly,but Aeris death came as abit of a shock.I went running around my house screaming to everyone: "Aeris is dead!!!!!**** it!!!!!!!!!!!"
Two days later i stil wasn't used to not having Aeris with me.
And i never am.
Because i need her healing powers!!!!!!!!!!:(:(:(:(:(

Well, I didn't cry when Aeris died, but I'm also not pulling that macho ass "I'm above crying" crap either.
But what I want to know, is for those that did cry when Aeris died, were you upset because you lost a character you liked, or because she was the closest thing you had to a real mage, and you leveled her up for hours, and worked your ASS OFF FIGHTING TO GET EVERY SINGLE LIMIT BREAK SHE HAD, THEN THAT BASTARD SEPHIROTH TOOK ALL THAT AWAY FROM YOU, AND IT WAS ALL FOR NOTHING?!?!
...uh sorry, but it kinda pissed me off at the time. :irked:
Damn, should have put mine in bold...
Aeris added the emotional and upbrining side to Cloud that kept him going. She plays a gret importance to Cloud in the game over any other character. Some people often think that she was pretty useless as far as the gameplay goes but what made Final Fantasy VII awesome was the breakthroughs at the time as an RPG with solid game play and story line.Quote:

Actually, Tifa did just as much or more to keep Cloud going as Aeris did. The single greatest thing Aeris did to keep Cloud going was to die. Then Cloud kept on to avenge her. Tifa was the one who nursed him to health when she found him in Midgar, who is always their to support him, who is always the most worried about him (including when he freaks out), and who is always the most relieved when she finds out he's safe.Quote:

Granted: Aeris was dead by that point, but I still don't think she'd have done what Tifa did), and the discussion between Cloud and Tifa when most of the team goes home right before you assault the Crater all felt more emotional to me than Aeris' death. Aeris' death was just Aeris doing what she felt had to be done. She's just "going back to the Planet" anyway. Almost everything she did was to try to save the world, while Tifa was the one who did what she did because she cared for Cloud.
I agree
True. It did give Cloud an ongoing goal, like you said, that seemed to me, to be his biggest priority.Quote:

At the start of the game, he was confused and didn't even know his own background. The death of Aeris I think, pushed him more to discover what the hell is going on with himself rather then just fight alongside a bunch of individuals without a goal.Quote:

All the scenes in Nibelhelm were the most emotional for me because it was the part where Cloud started to break down mentally. All of those scenes were my favorite in the whole game too, just my opinion.Quote:

FF7 made me tear up, because when it happened to me, it was not well-known information that she died. So it was HUGE plot-twist and I was super-shocked. It was so sad, and sephy's nonchalant attitude just added to it. 10 was emotional, but they prepared you for the emotional sad ending. 7 just plopped you into. I mean since when do you not save the damsel in distress in games? And Aeris was a wicked character. And she was useful too. I didn't spend hours on her, but I had her around half the time, 'cause her healing limit break healed me right up just when I'd be getting down. No MP cost. I liked that a lot. I'ma stingy player, and her limit was useful to me. So, it made me cry when she died. IMO she was useful and cute.
ok...thats sad not crying and thinking your better than others cause of it? lol come on get real? I cryed my eyes out for like 5 mins when Areis Died.....i nearly put my Murasame through my TV ( aye Ebay is wonderful , got me one for $212 ) im extremely Emotional being so makes you better cause you feel human.Quote:

I was seven at the time.
No joke.
