[crayzee gamr]

aha! there it is!

[10-Breaker]

I think it is a memento for Aeris and a frienship sign...
AND IT CAN BE A RIBBON THAT PROTECTS YOU FROM POISON AND STUFF!

They could be promoting AIDS awareness. :P

[crayzee gamr]

I thought this died a long time ago i guess i wuz wrong.
maybe its geostigma awareness but i doubt it.

I don't know why Vincent's Ribbon is on his right arm and not his left one, but he definitely has it. I'll attach a screenshot of it.

Vincent's ribbon is probably on his right arm due to his claw.

[BarelySeeAtAll]

Isnt it because they are all part of AVALANCHE?thats what myself and me cuz have been thinking, itsa pretty logical, considering Vincent actually wears a pink ribbon.

[Ryushikaze]

Marlene was never actually part of AVALANCHE.

Besides, the creator's have stated their fiat that the ribbons are in memory of Aerith.

[BarelySeeAtAll]

I didnt realise Marlene wore won?

[Aerisfanatic]

According to the creators, it's in remembrance of Aerith, and the gang + Marlene all have one.

I don't know why anyone would want to remember her. I thought she was an annoying pain in the ass, and my sister and I couldn't wait until Sephiroth stuck his sword through her!!!

of coarse they would want to remember her aeris was special to all of them especialy cloud, she saved the world twice (ff7,ac)she cured clouds stigma she was the most beautiful any powerful character in the game and she isnt anoying even when she was alive she didnt have alot of monologue she was the nicest character in the game and the creators probobly give you a fat lip for for saying stuff like that about their most beloved charater

[Levian]

aerisfantatic, don't call anyone stupid. That's not OK.

[anvil_starsilver]

I didnt realise Marlene wore won?

I think she did. On her hair.

[Aerisfanatic]

^^haha, ribbon hogger. you know i was wondering if the ribbon in marline's hair is spost to be the same as the others, or if its just the way her hair is done.

in the game marlenes hair is done short with a head band and i think the ribbon in her hair in the movie was pink not red so it might have been aeris' ribbon that shes wearing in her hair

[Aerisfanatic]

I think the Ribbons symbolize the party members' mutual friendship since they're all wearing one (you'll see a lot of Ribbons when all the characters lift Cloud to Bahamut). When Cloud goes to fight Kadaj near the end, he removes the sleeve and you'll see his Ribbon, so in a way that shows how he longer wants to be alone, but with his friends. The Ribbon is also there for Aeris' memory, as far as I know. Finally, Ribbon was the ultimate protective accessory in FFVII, protecting you from nearly all the status ailments.

This answer is better than any other on this subject matter.

i agrree
