I actually hate this argument. Phoenix Downs are meant to cure someone that is merely incapacitated from battle, not dead.
But yeah, Tifa and her chest Materia.
One would think that because a phoenix is reborn from its own ashes that its feathers would have the ability to revive a dead person as well as revive them from a KO. It really couldn't have hurt. Trial and error, man!
Not that I'm actually complaining, I hated Aerith.
Bitch wouldn't shut up, had to go in the river!
Think about how much they saved on food costs.
I think its sensible that Phoenix Down would only revive one from KO rather than from death
However I dont understand why they didnt try a SOFT on RedXIII's dad
Kefka's coming, look intimidating!
Have a nice day!!
That's...yeah. There's no excuse for that.Originally Posted by blackmage_nuke
Tifa: "Cloud, quick, Phoenix Down!"
Cloud: "No."
Tifa: "Why not?"
Cloud: "Because I'm not."
Tifa: "Why not?"
Cloud: "Because I'm not."
Tifa: "I know you are, but why not?"
Cloud: "Because I'm playing the guitar."
Because he had poisoned arrows stuck in him that turned him to stone. Applying a Soft would've probably caused the arrows to take effect again immediately, and pulling them out would've been impossible as pulling an arrowhead out of a stone statue would require you to chip a lot of it away, especially given how arrowheads are usually designed so that they can't be removed without causing even more serious harm... this would then cause the cumulative injuries caused by such an endeavour to kill Seto as soon as they threw another Soft.

It's been said before, it'll be said again, Pheonix down, and indeed all battle items, are just for use in battle. I don't know about you, but I've never seen anyone use an item in a cutscene.

FF5 has them trying everything on Galuf. None of it works; he's too far gone.

Well it's happening during dialogue. The meaning of the word "cutscene" gets a bit blurred when you go further back. In my mind a cutscene is when gameplay stops and exposition/event kicks in.

Perhaps, but Selphie does use a Cure spell outside of battle during FFVIII's prison sequence. The rigid separation of gameplay and story is a bit trout but that's the only way things can happen. Death, really, should never happen. Even old people should be able to be revived thanks to Phoenix Downs.
I've seen Seymour summon Anima in a cutscene. I've seen a Black Mage army use Fire to burn down Lindblum in a cutscene. Why should it be too much to ask that Cloud at least attempt something other than throwing her body in a river during a cutscene?
Magic. Not items
