Wel, it's not that I didn't like Aerith as a character, it's that she, IMO, was utterly useless in battle. Really. She was actually a decent character and I would have liked to see her go to at least Disc 2(lol). I always use Cloud, Vincent, & Nanaki whenever possible, and when she is forced into the party I always get so mad because I never train her... Ever. So no, I don't hate her, per-say, I just dislike her fighting style.

Aerith needs to be ground up into small, minuscule pieces of utterly useless specks of dust, because than, she would actually be what I think of her - useless, small, and annoying to deal with.
I was one of the sick people that, while I was taken aback, I didn't feel any remorse at all. The only thing I felt was hatred - hatred for leveling her up, and anuneasy feeling that all the materia I had on her would be forever lost.
All of the people that cry or are on the verge of tears amuse me, especially one of my friends, who cried when she died, even when he knew she was going to, and even went so far as to replay the game just so he could level Aerith up to gross proportions... For what, my friend? So that you can cry all over again? My my my...

I think that is being pretty harsh. I didn't find Rinoa to be annoying at all. She is much more useful in battle compared to Aeris, she has a carefree and outgoing personality, and she isn't trying to steal anyone from Squall. I found her to be quite funny and entertaining at times.Originally Posted by Jimmy Dark Aeons Slayer
She was good for a mage. That's all I have to say.
I agree. I never HATED her, but I never actually liked her. The most annoying part is when she flirted with Cloud (and she's the easiest to go on a date with) and when Cait Sith said they were perfect for each other.
You see, there's this ongoing war between Aeris lovers and Tifa lovers. I'm kinda neutral in this war, but I'm part of Team Tifa more than I am Team Aeris. I'll probably cry next time i see Aeris's death scene tho (i haven't seen that in AGES)
What you call carefree and outgoing i call dumb, annoying,"sweet 16" girl i hate her much more than Aeris...but getting back on the Aeris topic i was shocked when she did like 10/20 damage only...and i believed at the time that her magic would be superior to the other players but it insīt, so she is the most pathetic and weak character of the bunch.I think that is being pretty harsh.

People who say shes weak simply dont know how to use her, I always had her in my party.
I dont get peoples mentality, OMG, SHE FANCIES SOMEONE! SHES SUCH A WHORE!
By that standard the girls on here must be complete prostitues. By the end of disk 1 she realised she was just seeing Zach in Cloud, Had she lived I doubt she would of persued a relationship so I dont go much on the Tifa vs Aeris thing. Besides i dont think Clouds into the dead.
She didnt even have that much dialogue really accept "Are you alright?" and "This man are sick" If kindness and compassion is annoying I think some people may have anti-social problems here.

I prefer Aeris over Tifa anyday
As far as using her in battles goes, she was a cup of sh*t. (Temple of the ancients...*shudders*)
But as a character, I liked her. She was kind, cute and unselfish.
Apart from when it came to Cloud. Then she was very selfish.

Definately had more character than Tifa :)
I loved her to the core of my heart.DON'T KILL ME!!*runs*
AERIS IS STUPID! AERIS IS STUPID! AERIS IS STUPID!
Aeris is an idiot! She was a block between Cloud and Tifa. I mean, if she knew she was gonna die, y go after Cloud when ur gonna die? She's just so dumb! And Cait Sith can smurf himself! HOW DARE HE say Cloud and Aerith r a perfect match!
TIFA KIX ASS! TIFA KIX ASS! TIFA KIX ASS!
End of story!
(I actually made Aeris melee Ruby Weapon once and that crazy bich won cuz I used Hero Drinks!!!)

Even though Tifa is my favorite character, I have to admit that I like Aeris quite a bit. True, she didn't really add much (maybe not even anything), to combat, but her main characteristics were this sense of kindness and optimism, and I couldn't help but like that. True, she was selfish about Cloud and flirted with Cloud, but even then I think she could have eventually harbored true feelings for Cloud. While we're talking about it (by which I mean Cloud, now referred to as it), I used to appreciate the Tifa/Cloud pairing, but as time went on I could never really imagine them being a viable couple (I've never seen AC, so maybe something drastic does happen that could change my mind again), and I began to really prefer Cloud/Aeris. This is besides the fact that I'd rather not see ANYONE with Cloud, as I see that as a fate worse than death, but that's an entirely different topic.
I can understand the animosity some harbor towards Aeris, as in some ways she almost seemed to have been more of a character who's only purpose was to propel a major plot point, like some characters had been in earlier FFs, but merely with an overly-extended presence. Still, I tended to like Aeris for the most part, despite the Aeris lovers vs. Tifa lovers thing, something that amazes me that it still goes on today. Again, I can understand how it can start up (again, mainly around Cloud and who should be with him), upon which there was tension between the two girls, though other than that, Tifa and Aeris seemed to have gotten along incredibly well with each other.
