Awesome observation.

However I dont understand why they didnt try a SOFT on RedXIII's dad
Zangan never bothered using a Phoenix Down on Tifa when she was incapacitated. I would assume being KO'd is not as bad as being comatose apparently (they didn't try curing Cloud with items or magic either, maybe because he didn't bother with Aeris).

I could swear Bugenhagen did tell us it had been tried. Seto just be worse off.

Retarded statement. Characters KO'd in battle remain KO'd outside of battle, so a character left standing (outside of battle) must use Phoenix Downs on them before they can even be healed by a Tent. Maybe you don't know this because you never finish a battle with KO'd party members or you always head to the nearest town inn. Only attack items are reserved for battle. In later games, it's possible for a member to remain petrified after battle and you can still use a soft outside of battle to cure them.


Dropping the seriousness. Cloud didn't revive Aeris because he was jealous that Sephiroth was the first to "penetrate" her. Ooh snap....!
