I would have to agree with a few people, she died to fuel hatred for sephiroth, but that eventulally made me like him more, cuz he is THAT evil, no other ff bad guy has killed anyone
(SPOILER) Kefka killed General Leo as well as most of the world. The Emperor in FF2 killed many civilians before the game even began, and killed several of your party members by proxy. Golbez may not have been the main villain when all was said and done, but he was responsible for Tellah's death, and I can't remember but didn't X-Death kill Galuf?
Also, I feel that Aeris/th died for the same reason any character dies in a story. To remind us of the value of life. If you don't know that, you don't know what the point of the game is. Sure, saving the people is good and all, but how many people ACTUALLY cared that Bowser kidnapped the princess again? If you can't relate to a story, you won't care about it. Every half decent story has a scene of death to motivate you to identify with the protagonist. Why do we hate the Empire? Because they killed Uncle Owen!!!
