The death of aerith

[G SpOtZ]

No. No he SMEGGING didn't. Aerith's death is something that happens in the game. It is NOT the smeggin totality of the game's story.

People need to stop getting totally antsy over what amount to minor spoilers, especially when people freely discuss what are ACTUALLY MAJOR SMEGGING PLOT POINTS willy nilly!

The kid gloves need to come off. It's been ten years and her death was not a major plot point. It was a plot point, but it was no more major than the death of any OTHER FF character, whose deaths are freely discussed. Stop pleading for the flower girl and move the smeg on.

1) I have never heard the term "smeg"
2) "It's been ten years" is what I think makes it okay that people give out information like this, so I totally agree with you, people need to stop bitching about "spoiling".

The game is OLD, and there's nothing new about the game itself, so if you (I'm using "you" as a general term) haven't played it, don't expect for it to be completely new to you, because chances are, people have already talked about it enough that you'll know what's going on... If not, don't read the forums for the game you haven't played. Geez.

Pretty sure he was kidding.

He probably was, but the sad thing is, some people don't kid and get pissed about it. Hah.

1) I have never heard the term "smeg"

"Smeg", derived from "Smegma", is an invented word that originated from the British show Red Dwarf. It's bassically a replacement for the word "f@#$".

As a side note, the filter here is incredibly annoying.

I THINK WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO DIG HER UP IN THE BONE VILLAGE!!!

Aeris dies? What the hell, thanks a lot dude. You just spoiled the freakin' game for me.

the title of the thread kinda gives it away

[Helios]

why is it that people refer to her as aerith, when its aeris in the game?

Christmas continues to seduce me.

Helios: I've never been entirely sure, but I believe the direct Japanese translation renders it 'Aerith', and people are if they use that.

[Zeromus_X]

Because Aerith is her name.

And it still doesn't matter how old a game is. Unless it's 100 years from now and FFVII somehow becomes a legendary epic known all around the world, then not everyone has played the game, and everyone doesn't know what happens, especially when this is actually a gigantic plot point in the game. It is still a spoiler. Some people have not played the game. Some people do not know what happens. This is not hard to understand. And I don't care if you whip out the 'forum spoiler policy'. People don't need to be assholes intentionally and spoil the game for other people merely because it's 'too old'. That is irrelevant. They may have not played the game.

Anyway, battle mechanics don't carry over into "real life". If someone gets impaled outside of battle (usually in an FMV with emotional music), then there's a good chance they won't be in your party any longer.

I'd quote the RPG Cliche rule regarding that, but it seems that that page isn't working right now for some reason.

To everyone who flipped out and hilariously screamed at me for saying that, I was kidding. Jeez.

I think you're going to have to point out which post in this thread intentionally spoiled the game for everyone, or alluded to doing thus in any way.

[Armisael]

These threads "oh i'm happy Aeris dies, she deserved it etc", they'll never stop! It's kind of.. well annoying!

[Dreddz]

Her death isnt funny if you had been training her hours beforehand :mad:

[MJN SEIFER]

I found it sad. And iritating as she is one of the most powerful characters in the game

One of the most powerfull!?

[MJN SEIFER]

Oh yes. as I posted in another thread, Aeris' strength, power and Magic stats increase much faster than the other characters, I had on 99 half way on disc one, and the others were about 50.
