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
Cloud: Holds her in his arms/preforms the "send off".
Tifa: sits besides her, touches to make sure she's dead, then runs away depressed
Barret: Looks at her sadly, raises his hand/fist at Cloud.
Yuffie: Completly breaks down and cries, Cloud relaxes her for a while, then she goes.
Vincent: Shows little or no emotion.
Cid: Looks at her, then at the sky. (to the heavens I guess?)
Nanaki: Shakes head, looks at the sky, a bit more exagerated than Cid's.
Cait Sith: Does a wierd dance, but then stops and sliks away (the hell?)
Best character reaction to *That Scene* (at the end of Disk #1) BE RESPECTFUL PLEASE.

My thoughts exactly.Originally Posted by Goldenboko
Can we keep the Aeris bashing replies to a minimum please. This is supposed to be a fans thread though I realize we all have are own opinion.
You asked, I answered. I was too busy clapping to read any of the dialogue in that scene.
Yuffie's was a bit weird since she kinda joined my party right before this scene and never met Aeris. Anyways, I think I've only tried Yuffie and Red's and they were both pretty good. Stuff the rest
...Geddit?
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.
Fair play I guess, I was feeling a bit emotional at the time which is what made me do that thread. Also Aeris death is a bit emotional to me, I realize it's a game but I don't care.
It didn't get deleted, it was posted on the wrong thread (the unfinished version of this I posted by acident).
I think Barret's response was more of an akward "uh err, hang in there cloud, this sucks" because he really doesn't know how to be gentle or sensitive. His solution to everything is to shoot his gun in the air
smurfin hillbilly
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.
I understand you're reaction, hence why I try to avoid spoilers. And I had no idea what was going to happen to her (and before someone asks; yes I did see the picture at the back of the cover, but I didn't know it meant she was dead.)
Tifa's is so funny! Makes sure she's dead hahaha
The below sentence is true.
The above sentence is false.
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 work in one of those humble call centres... Apparently, what we're doing at the moment is 'sprinkling our magic along the way'. It's a call centre, not Hogwarts." ~ Caroline Garlick, Ayrshire, BBC News Magazine
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.
I also knew well in advance it was going to happen. i still thought it was real sad and cloud putting her in the lake was heartwrenching, the music really helped make the scene.
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.
