aeris haters?

[TheAbominatrix]

Aerith definitly did have a big burden. She was the last of her kind, and thus hunted by the Shin Ra. She could hear the voice if the planet, which definitly has to be a huge weight on one's shoulders. And she had to feel a lot of responsibility for things, whether they were beyond her control or not. What she did, going off to save the world and knowing she may not come back, was very brave. I dont like her at all, but I cant deny that it was brave.

And yeah, the planet's burden was shared by... hmm... Well Barret for sure, who had a lot of responsibilities and burdens himself, Aerith, Red XIII, and Cloud eventually. I suppose Yuffie and Vincent may have cared too, but they had their own agendas, too, that took precidence for them.

Stop those "I hate this and that character" posts. They are just annoying.

[Kami]

I didn't really liek her since she was kinda weak. I never really used her much so I wan't sad when she died... and my brother told me she was gogin to die.. DAMN HIM!

Same here. *shrugs* she wasn't a really great character and was really weak. But I don't hate her nor like her.

[Lord Chainsaw]

I couldnt stand Aerith. She was very annoying from the beginning... her thing for Cloud seemed only because of his similarity to Zach. She was supposed to be such a kind person but she was very cruel to Tifa, throwing herself at Cloud like she did.

You'll have to excuse my severe lack of arguing talent over these FF7 matters. I haven't touched the game in years.

Tifa never made a move on Cloud. Is that Aeris' fault? You expect Aeris to stay away from Cloud because Tifa might someday decide to make a move on him? Let's create a situation here: That's like me getting pissed off if someone takes a girl I've been liking for 6 years but had never had the guts to make a move on. I should be mad at the other guy because he had the guts to do something I hadn't ever been able to do? Who's fault is that? And don't say she only did it only to be mean to Tifa, because she made a move on Cloud well before she was aware of Tifa's existence.

And yes, at the beginning Aeris does like Cloud because he resembles Zack. But who wouldn't? If I lost somebody and then saw the qualities I loved about them in another person, I'd take a liking to that person to. After being alone for such a long time, people tend to seek companionship. After all, why do people remarry? She sees this knight in shining armor that literally falls into her lap and reminds her of her lost love. What do you expect her to do? It is also made clear that Aeris changes and develops into a stronger person, loving Cloud for being Cloud in that gold saucer scene "Cloud I want to meet you."

What irks me though is those people who say they laughed at the end of disc 1. Even if it was a character that I disliked that that happened to, such as Yuna or Tifa I still wouldn't be happy or laugh. That's just an asinine thing to do. Those kinds of people need to stop playing RPGs and move on to something like Halo.

I like Aries. I i think she's the only person in most of the Final Fantasys does somthing about what she talks about other than bitch like crazy. Let's look at Squall. For the first two discs he wanders around randomly bitching about Edea! HE FAILS TO KILL HER! Now lets take a look at Garnet/Dagger! She spends disc 1&2 moaning about her mother, when she has the chance to stop her she talks to her and fails to stop her!

Tifa sucks too! I wish that she would have died rather than Aeris. Tifa serves no purpose.

[*ETERNAL FANTASY*]

whats there to not like aeris?

what did she do wrong...? Nothing! Or is that why people hate her because she is "perfect"!?

I never said that. It just bothered me that she laid it on so thick in front of Tifa. Even if you like a guy, if you know your friend feels the same, you should keep your flirting to a minimum when that person is around. It's common decency. And I didnt say she did it to be mean to Tifa, I said it was mean to do it.

And... this changes my point how? It makes me dislike her. If you like her for it, kudos to you.

Then you're far better than us. Please dismount the high horse. We arent forcing anything on you by laughing at the death of Aerith. We are entitled to our own opinions, as are you.

Wow, you got us there! We're all just jealous! None of these reasons in this thread are real, it's all just jealousy cause we wish we could be more like perfect Aerith![/sarcasm]

[Spuuky]

I don't like Aeris at all, but I dislike people who say "Aerith" even more.

[Rusty]

Aries and Tifa were just average characters that didn't capture my heart at all, not like Rinoa or Selphie did in FF8!
There wasn't anything special that happened that made you love them...That is why Yuffie rules

Will people stop saying aerith? Soo annoying

[TheAbominatrix]

I prefer Aerith, and I will keep using Aerith.

[Rostum]

My conclusion: She's just a video game character. =P

[zacks_clone]

My conclusion: She's just a video game character. =P

WHAT?!JUST a video game character?! why didnt you people tell me sooner!!!

Anyways...I seem to see alot of "Aeris only liked Cloud because he resembed Zack"...If you think about it,Zack probably didnt even love her,so why would she go after this man who left her for another woman?Zack was probably Final fantasy VIII's Ivring-"The ladies man".I believe Aeris said that he was fond of woman,and probably found himself another girl. That was most likely true,from what we have seen of Zack.Sure he was loving and caring,but he was still human.Still a guy(no offence to guys), and probably one of the men who would toss a good woman and run after a better looking one. Shallow. So...Why would aeris be attracted to somone who looks like this man who basicly left her?(( Big fan of Zack, but I am not a fan of AerisXZack ))

Now, Aeris did sorta make a "move" on Cloud, and Tifa had strong feelings for Cloud. You could see her feelings...but if you looked at how Aeris played this little love game...it was exactly that to her, a game. Tifa truly struggled with her feelings,while Aeris seemed to just be a friend playing with emotions. If you refer to the standard date, it believe that was there for the fun of it, and to hint that Cloud was living as Zack. Aeris knew this! She wasnt attacted to Cloud at all! She knew he was living as Zack,and she was(as tifa was) playing along to try and help him!"I want to meet...you"

One scean that always makes me want to hit Aeris was when Barret first encountred his home town again, and then the group moves to the gold saucer. tifa trys to help Barret, while Aeris tells her "no,just act like everythings normal".Shes all happy and skippy and truly gets Barret angry. This was just childish of her, though it was a good idea. If the situation had been something more minor, i would have thought that doing that would have been fine. It wasnt. That scean always bothers me.

So...I have sorta voice my opoions on topics that were brough up here...Mostly against Aeris and I am sorry for that,really.

I don't like Aeris at all, but I dislike people who say "Aerith" even more.

Aerith is just as correct as Aeris, if not more, since FF7 soundtrack and Kingdom Hearts both call her Aerith. I don't have any problems with those who say Aeris or Aerith, but I don't like it how some people call her Aries.

I think Aeris was a pretty nice character for the time she was in your party. I still prefer Tifa over Aeris because she's really friendly and loyal to Cloud, and she still loves Cloud despite all the lying and mess-ups Cloud has done. However, Aeris had a good and dramatic background story, her music theme rules and (SPOILER)she gives her life to save everyone from the Meteor. And if you can get Aeris' Great Gospel limit break, it's really great for the time you can use it.

I think the date sequences with Tifa and Yuffie are more interesting than the date with Aeris. Tifa's is more romantic while Yuffie's is simply funny. Aeris is just comparing Cloud to Zack for no reason and then saying she wants to meet the "real" Cloud. The date between Cloud and Aeris wasn't bad, but it wasn't very interesting, either. Finally, I think it was very rude of Aeris to go and ask Cait Sith about her and Cloud's compability. Especially if you have Tifa in your party at that time.

[Lord Xehanort]

I'd like to point out that the word 'Aerith' is (thankfully) never spoken in KH. It's listed... nothing more.

I didn't like Aeris' hippie-esque 'Love everything' attitude. (kinda like Selphie w/ "PEACE, LOVE, EVERYBODY!") I can't stand that happy-go-lucky attitude. I always go for depressed characters (like me). Cloud, Vincent and Sephiroth demonstrate this in some way, and I love all three of them.

Also, Aeris died in the wrong way! She gets impaled and SMILES! Not even one of those 'You fell for it, biatch!' mischevious grins. It was a happy smile! No blood, no screaming, nobody running to save her but being tragically too late, NOTHING!

Man, do I agree with you there. I hate Aeris. She's too happy, too flirty with Cloud, and too PINK.

Maybe she smiled because she knew she was possibly the worst FF Female ever and it was good for her to die.
