Aeris a unsent?
So I was watching Advent Children the other day, and all of a sudden I realized something. That Aeris and Zack are the Lifestream's eqivelent of the unsent. But what I don't understand is that isn't everyone supposed to return/meld back into the planet no matter how hard the try. (ex. Elmyra's husband) or are Cetran race able to maintain there original form/memories within the Lifestream. Can anyone explain the reason for this?
Things like her appearance in the game are not supposed to be analyzed. seriously.
I'm guessing that the soul of a person doesn't get recycled after they die in the game. just the....spiritual energy?
Also since Zack isn't a Cetra....
I'm not gonna point out that you're confusing games.

When Aeris and Zack appeared, just think of it as... a dream. They weren't REALLY there, Cloud's memories just created them, it happens ya kno?
Thank you Hysterian!
The following is a public service announcement brought to you in part by Griff, who would like to remind you that if at any point of the movie something contradicts the game that he has two words for you: Plot Hole
Yes, with the exception of the Cetra. They had a special connection with the Planet. They probably have more control as to what happens to them after they die and when they are in the Lifestream. This is especially true for Aeris. She is able to actually control the Lifestream itself.
As for Zack, he is not a Cetra, so when he died he was absorbed into the Lifestream just like any other normal person. What I think is that Aeris was lonely and wanted a companion, so she went and found Zack. That's why he appears at the end of AC.
The ending of AC is real. Aeris and Zack are actually there in the physical world. You can tell because Aeris is kneeling down beside two kids before she gets up to return to the Lifestream. What I think this means is that if Aeris wanted to, she could bring herself (and possibly Zack too) back into the physcial world, but she doesn't want to. She is telling Cloud that it's okay, and that she doesn't want to be resurrected.

wouldn't Zack's soul and memories have been "gone forever" and recycled unto the planet a little over 2 years earlier, and so it would have been too late for Aeris to die months after him and then decide to keep his soul and memories with her?
And what about that guy in Mideel during the game, pondering about what it would be like to drift around in a warm, gentle stream after he dies?
I seriously think that the souls (along with their memories and thoughts) of the people are supposed to remain intact and active when they return to the lifestream whether they are Ancients or not, but the physical energy created by their existence is recycled in order to form new life.
I do like your "self ressurection" idea, as only Aeris or other Cetra would have the power to bring themselves or others back.

That's probably how it is. I'm sure Aeris went and found Zack's soul in the Lifestream, and helped him from there.I seriously think that the souls (along with their memories and thoughts) of the people are supposed to remain intact and active when they return to the lifestream whether they are Ancients or not, but the physical energy created by their existence is recycled in order to form new life.Yes, with the exception of the Cetra.

Whatever it was, I am sure that Zack didn't do it by himself. He had to have some help from Aeris.
Thanks.
i thought the web novel The Maiden Who traveled the Planet explained what aeris did in the lifestream? here's a link btw http://www.ffcompilation.co.uk/maide...the_planet.php
That is great, atlanteay. Thanks a bunch for the link.
Shinentai, no. Ghost/ Astral Projection, more likely. Simply put, given Aerith's personality, were she a Shinentai, she would have done something a lot less understated.
Wow, that is a great story. It gave alot of information. I just wish it would've covered the events in AC too. I don't suppose anyone knows of a sequel, do they?
Not really sequels, but even more novellas. (Translated.)

Probably won't be exactly what you're looking for, but it does give more info into Advent Children, and Denzel.
