Specifically "it is not known as whether at some point in the production of the game Aeris was intended to be resurrected, but it seems that this is possible." contradicts what Nomura et al. have said about her NEVER being intended to be resurrected , and this part "others including the Gameshark Cheat, where Aeris DOES have lines" seems ungenuine as well. While perfectly common for Internet discussion, the usage of all capital letters to emphasize a word generally does not make its way into an official company sponsored document. Additional, the usage of the specific usage of "Gameshark cheat" also seems like it comes from someone posing as an employee, and not one themselves. Doubly so since "Gameshark" is not the iconic brand name in Japan as it is here.
Of course, even if the line about "in the original storyline the main character, Cloud, was intended to fall in love with Aeris yet this changed later." is Genuine, it must also be examined in context with Nomura and Nojima's comments about Tifa in early production, and how Aerith's original role was given to her instead.
Also, are you going to address any of the points I have previously raised?
