So the first time you played the game, what was your reaction upon Aeris' death? Had you been spoiled beforehand? Were you shocked? Did you not care much?
The Big Fat Aeris Spoiler
So the first time you played the game, what was your reaction upon Aeris' death? Had you been spoiled beforehand? Were you shocked? Did you not care much?
I saw it happen when my mom played. My reaction when I played? "Oh my gosh I hope I get that materia back that I had equipped on her"
I already knew it was coming, and I didn't like her character all that much so it didn't really have that much of an effect on me. As I got older I have gained a greater appreciation for the scene.

I think I knew it was going to happen? I didn't really care if I'm honest.
I had been spoiled, so my reaction was a bit muted.
A friend of the family knew I liked video games and bought me the strategy guide for it not knowing I didn't own the game. I just read it like a book normally, why not? I was only like 10 lol. So yeah, I knew it was going to happen, and I didn't care much for her character in that game anyways.
I was devastated. How I wish we could just eat her and gains her limit breaks.
I saw the scene on the PS1 the first time I tried the game at a friend's place. He was stuck on a boss and I killed it for him and then bam.
Coincidencially, the next time I visited him he was stuck at the turks in midgar and I cut those dicks up too without really knowing the game. I must be a RPG natural.
everything is wrapped in gray
i'm focusing on your image
can you hear me in the void?
I didn't go crazy emotional or anything, but I definitely was shocked that they had the balls to kill off the cute character. It did make me want to pay back Sephiroth for sure, as well.
I don't remember my reaction now, but Aeris is a party staple for me (dat hyper+cover+fury brand abuse), so I imagine I was less than pleased.
At the time, I never really liked Aeris, just because she did the least damage. I never put time into using her, so I didn't care that she died. It really wasn't until I played Crisis Core that I gained an appreciation for Aeris as a character.
I did not have it spoiled for me, but I was happy it happened because I really didn't like her character. I liked her much more in Crisis Core.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
I am pretty sure I was spoiled, I don't remember my reaction really.
I didn't know she was going to die, and I was saddened by it. I tend to get very emotional if I am attached to the character, which I was. I know I seem to be the only one here who did, but that's just who I am. I genuinely cried during that scene.
It's actually strange I didn't realize she'd die though, as the second walkthrough I read actually described the scene, pretty much in full detail (though it didn't say "she dies" so it didn't click I guess).
I was spoiled some days before her death happened and I was a little bit sad. But I think she's a better character in Crisis Core.
