Err, that was actually a quote from Teh Lavos that I just sort of agreed with. Like I said, when everyone thinks about Aeris dieing they get all sad and moody, but they don't consider the countless Shinra soldiers you killed and the families you ruined.
Ah, but if there's one thing the Internet denizens of EoFF know, it's that the Shinra get in the way.I say they were asking for it.
well, i think it's pretty sad although i don't like her... she annoyed me so much
words aren't the only thing to tell people what u'r thinking
There was nothing sad about slaughtering shinra soldiers. Since when do you weep for slaughtering an endless supply of pawns? It's not like their flashing red death was really that tragic. Don't be such a hypocrite, I don't think you weep every time you press the attack button. "Oh dear god! I killed two shinra soldiers. Time to pull out my tissue-box!" Who cares?
You can't weep for everyone that dies, but the ones that you know and are close to, their death's are more sad. The reason their death's are sad is because YOU lost them.
Scarlet was a *****, and she did some evil things. She tried to kill some of your party members, and she was mean as hell. I wouldn't have shed a tear after slaughtering that evil wench.
Don Corneo kidnaps women to 'play' with, threatens to kill them when you catch him then sets his enemies to attack and kill you, all the while laughing like a perverted freak. His death was not sad at all.
So how about all those enemies you slaughtered, all those evil meniacle bastards you killed? Their death's were never intended to be sad, except for Dyne of course, but he killed himself.
Aeris' death was sad. Not only was there a neat little FMV, but she was a great character. Whoever said she sucked in battle was wrong. She only sucked if the only thing you ever did in battle was hold down the X button, attacking endlessly. "OMG AERIS SUCKS HER STR IS < CLOUD & TIFA LOL". Granted, in this painfully easy game that may be all you need. But Aeris has a huge pool of MP, and with all the magic I had on her she had over 100+ in the magic department where all ther other party members were still in the 40-50s. Aeris was a magical goddess, and she had the best spirit by far, as well.
Her limit breaks are almost all godly. You have one that gives all your other members their limit breaks instantly which called for instant PWNAGE. Then you have her level 3 limits, which give you invincibility and full recovery respectably. Then you have then the great Gosphel does both at the same time. Having trouble with a boss? great gosphel is almost too cheap, and the invincibility lasts for quite a long time.
anyway, that's al my opinion. I lvoed aeris AND tifa, they are both great characters in plot and battle.
No, your right, I don't weep for every soldier I kill. I also don't weep for Aeris. I really didn't like Aeris (this is just my opinion), so I didn't find it sad. I did not weep for Scarlet, of course, or Heidegger. I felt sad for Dyne. I almost did weep for Rufus, aswell as Biggs, Wedge, and Jesse. But what I'm saying is it is ultimately the same. True, there is nowhere near the same sadness, but in the end you might aswell be as much of a murderer as Sephiroth. That, and I am a hypocrite.
hi all! very, very new here! just wanted to say hi and wonder out loud if I was the only one who finds areis incredibly annoying? or is it just me?....hmmmmm
Your not alone. I find her annoying too. BTW, welcome to EoFF.
Yep, she annoys me very much.
Ditto..annoyed the dogsnot out of me. It's the cheerleader in pink thing
Veni, veni, venias, Ne me mori facias, Gloriosa, Generosa (Come come oh, come, Don't let me die, Glorious, Noble).
I dunno, but I kind of liked Aeris, as a playable character, and as a character in the overall story. I also liked Tifa as a playable character, and as a character in the overall story.
When dealing with death in stories and games (especially where the games help tell the story), there are certain times where the emotional response is necessary. Killing the grunts has no response, because, as was mentioned by someone else, they are simply obstacles. Killing the bosses gives an emotional response though. Usually it is one of excitement, realizing you've defeated a threat.
Aeris's death came as a complete shock to me, as I had no previous knowledge that it was coming. She was a favorite of mine to have in the party, simply because her healing powers were extremely helpful. Of course, I also loved Tifa's skills, so usually had her in the party as well.
For the story, Aeris's death was well done. It served the greater purpose of the story, even though I was always wondering if she was going to return somehow, someway, later in the game. I just couldn't believe they killed her.
So, count me as one who was shocked, surprised, and saddened by Aeris's death. Also count me as one who likes both Aeris and Tifa.

I thought it was a good thing. One less Person to get limit breaks for, level up and buy things for.
