'Yes' to the first question, 'no' to the second. She was a very popular character with a lot of players, and her death was rather unexpected. Losing a full-fledged party member is a rare occurrence in an FF game<sup>*</sup>, so people figured there was likely to be a way to bring her back, even if it was just a 'cheat' with no real bearing on the plot. I must admit, back when I first played the game - long before I ever had internet access - I tried a huge number of different methods to see if it led to her being retrievable later on. Even some pretty obscure stuff, like never letting her get KO'd during battle.



<sup>*</sup> No need for anyone to reply to this with a complete list of character mortalities. I said it's a rare occurrence, not a unique one.
