    They don't die, they're just knocked out. Aeris DIED, a Phoenix Down doesn't do anything about that.

    No, they aren't dead. The only Final Fantasy game in which characters actually die is Final Fantasy Tactics, and that's only when they don't receive medical attention soon enough. There is generally no magic in Final Fantasy strong enough to actually return someone to life, the universe is set up so that death is eternal, which is fairly standard fare for most fantasy worlds.

    If you look at the status of KO'd characters, I believe it says "wounded". That's a lot different than "dead".

    Default Haha! an answer!

    Well, its just my belief that 'wounded' means 'unconcious and bleeding to death', so another party member either uses the Monk ability Revive, cast's Life, or uses a Phoenix Down to 'stop the life-threatening bleeding and bring back concious', so now that person has like 10 HP and is only moderately bleeding. Is that enough to satify you?
    Of all the games that i find well worth the work, I can only say that three can properly qualify for the category. And of the three, one is, but of corse, FFVII. The other twon games which i couldn't depart from are Xenogears and FFT. And i also found a pattern, All of which were released 1997 or 1998 and were on PS. I have lost some faith in Squaresoft when they merged with Enix, they no longer adapt a well-thought plot as nearly as much as the older titles. And thus, I say to you Square-Enix, "Up yours!"

    Oh.

    Well, the only FF that I can think of where the characters can be revived from death with a Pheonix Down is FF1 or 3.

    There is a clear difference in Final Fantasy games between battle physics and real-world physics. Note that enemies with guns can fire at the party dozens of times without causing significant damage, yet a few shots are sufficient to kill Zack in the Cloud and Zack basement flashback. You might also look to FFIX, where Kuja, having trapped the party, threatens to plunge them into lava. The reaction of the party indicates that this would obviously be fatal, regardless of any equipment that might nullify or absorb fire elemental attacks. HP is unquestionably a battle convention, and is generally not reflected by real-world circumstances.

    Everyone has answered your question several times, you just don't want to listen. Just because you don't like the answer doesn't mean your question hasn't been answered.

    Having 0 hit points does not mean death, it means that your character is unconscious, and therefor can't act in battle. When you use a Pheonix Down on an unconscious character it wakes them back up. That's why you get a Game Over if everyone is unconscious, because no one can wakes everyone else up as they are all unconscious, so the enemy can take their time disposing of the party. In Aeris' case, she would have -9999 hit points, because being gutted by a sword will do that to you. As her hit points are below 0, a phoenix down won't work on her.

    Thus they can't revive her with a Pheonix Down as she is not unconscious, but dead. And Phoenix Downs only work on unconscious people, not dead people.
