~Interesting. I'd never even thought about the possibility of that happening before - that the creators woud have scripted certain events and the character's responses before they had finalised when the events would have taken place in this story - Thank you for the information Big DThe only one I've heard of is a single line uttered after the Icicle Inn snowboarding event. Apparently, they scripted these events - and the characters' responses - before they'd finalised exactly when the events would take place in the story.~
~There are a couple of occasions other than after the snowboarding event where Aerith will appear on screen and speak. In some cases her words are generic and in others they apparently are not. The examples that I know about are in my list below
~Fun with Aerith -
1: Remember the old man in Rocket Town that talks about jokes? - Well, use the Gameshark to put Aerith into the party, then take her, Cloud and Cid to the joker's house in Rocket Town during the Huge Materia event, talk to him and your party members, including Aerith, will come out of Cloud. She'll make several comments to Cloud - note that to my knowledge the comments in this scenario are not generic, they change for each party member. Take her out of the party before the fight with Rude - the game will freeze if you don't.
2: You can still use her to fight in the Battle Arena on Discs Two and Three.
3: Take her to the Ancient City during the waterfall sceen - Aerith will watch the image of the memory of her praying that is being shown in the tumbling waterfall and then Cloud will turn and nod at her!
4: You can still collect Yuffie and complete the Wutai side quests with Aerith in the party after she's meant to be gone and she'll still speak her lines and you won't experience any glitches. The same with Vincent, take her to his basement, she'll come out, she'll say the lines she normally would.
5: Fort Condor Inn - actually any inns where the party members are supposed to come out of Cloud before/after resting, Aeris will appear and say her lines.
6: Gold Saucer - as well as still being able to fight in the Battle Arena - she can still be taken on the rollercoaster at the Speed Square and the gondola at Round Square, she'll appear as normal.
7: All of the final battles can be fought with Aerith in the party, including the one where (SPOILER) Cloud is meant to face Sephiroth alone. She'll appear there, still fully equipped with her materia ...
8: The Fort Condor Huge Materia Event - Take her there during that event - She comes out and says a few lines. No glitches here.
9: This one is weird and sort of sick ....... - Have Aerith in the party for the battle with Jenova Life, after the battle she won't be leaning against the altar as she normally is after Sephiroth has (SPOILER)killed her but instead will be lying on the middle of the altar floor and she'll be trying to stand up ...
~Note that I'm not using this information as evidence to support any revival or conspiracy theories - It's just an account of what I experienced when I used the gameshark to put Aeris/Aerith in the party
