I go "Crazy" cause I get fed up with these pointless "I hate Aerith threads" when she has done (atleast in my eyes) absolutely nothing wrong... it sort of reminds me of the part in X-2 when beclem disrespects Yuna when she (and yes the group with her) saved the planet. I just do not get why you lot hate her so much that you would just wish to start a thread saying "Oh I hate Aerith because of this that and them etc" we all know that some of you do not like her but hey, Note some people (like Pure Aerisbeauty) is afraid to post her opinion for fear of being attacked by the Aerith haters at the end of the day EVERYONE either hates her likes her or just does not give a damn. Why is it such a big deal? I have no idea. these are the facts as I see them:

Aerith has had only one serious boyfriend (Zack) and we all know what happened to him, and then this guy comes a long and helps her out in any way he can she is reminded of her first boyfriend (I can imagin that she has had a pretty lonely childhood as she had always been "Different" and never had anyone to set an example from) and so she starts flirting with Cloud, its only natural if you were a woman in need of saveing then this dashing man comes in and saves you you might think yourself in love with him (especially when he reminds you of you once serious boyfriend) and naturally she tryes to latch onto him and gets caught up into saveing the world in the process does she shy away from her new responsibility no, she does all she can, she fights for the planet to the best of the ability, Hell she dies in the process now here is the thing... she used Holy and got killed, then Sephiroth tried to stop it being used in the northern crater and we know the rest is history, so why oh why do you hate her so? she is dead for crying out loud whats the big deal? some of you think she is insencitive? so I take it the people she is being insencitive to are perfect then? that they have made no mistakes, is that a no I think I hear? whats that I can also hear? everyone makes mistakes? a good point there wouldnt you say. Whats that im hearing now? She sucks in battle? she is one of the Cetra and as such has a strong magical ability (note materia holds the knoledge of the Ainchents) and as such is the ONLY one who could have used Holy, id love to see Cloud use it... oh yea thats right he cant. Oh whats this im hearing now? Nothing good came of Aerith? erm... what about Holy that saved the planet? or is that a bad thing she did saveing the planet? oh all of a sudden im hearing that she stole Cloud away from Tifa? now what do i suddenly hear? oh yes its out friend Mr. Game Script:

Tifa: …And you are? Hey you're the one with Cloud in the park…

Aerith: Right, with Cloud.

Tifa: Oh……

Aerith: Don't worry. We just met. It's nothing.

Tifa: What do you mean, 'Don't worry'…about what? No, don't misunderstand.
Cloud and I grew up together. Nothing more.

So did she steal Cloud away from her? his servy says! eeeerrrn

She knew she was going to die did she? erm when did this happen? is being Psychic one of the abilitys of the Cetra? oh now whats this? she wanted to be happy as long as she could? hmm... what does that remind me of? Oh yea Yuna in FFX she knew she was going to die but she still latched onto Tidus, "Oh she is such a whore!" why shouldnt dieing people be happy? if you and your love rival are going after the same man and you discover your teminally ill do you still give up your one chance at happyness? no of corse you dont you try to grab life with both hands. But I supose that is a moot point as Aerith didnt know she was going to die.

Pack your bags everybody, we're going on a guilt trip!' A guilt trip that seemingly never ends in AC because Aeris refuses to simply DIE and stay DEAD. She won't allow anyone to get over her death it seems. Cry me a river, build me a bridge and get over it. This is a huge reason why I hate Aeris; she won't let people get on with their lives. Extremely annoying.
Wont let anyone get over her death? so what undead Aerith stood behind Cloud and suddenly she can read his mind (because lets not forget she is psychic now) and clouts him over the head saying "how dare you think you can get over my death" *clouts him some more just for good measure*
