Aeris was supposed to live.

[crazybayman]

By this logic, Aerith was never even supposed to exist, because there was a time when no one had thought her up yet.

Yes.

And sometime before that, there was a time when they didn't know if they would create FFVII.

And sometime before that, there was even a time when they didn't realize they would release Final Fantasy! Period!!!!

And to the people who posted earlier, do you really think that they didn't have a pretty good idea of what the story was going to be when they decided they were going to make FFVII?

Yes. Generally they go like this:
Everyone: "OH NOES SOMETHING BAD IS HAPPENEDING, WHAT DO WE DO?"
Hero/Heroine: "I WILL SAVE THE WORLD!"

See I could write a FF.

Go idea. A suitable title could be FFVII: Aeris the Crack-wh@re - Her Days before Avalanche.
IT has been established in previous threads that she was a drug-dealer, and a hoe afterall.
