Am I the only person who DIDN'T love Aeris? wft?

[Carl the Llama]

*sigh* not this again... she didnt stir up Cloud, it was Cloud that felt guilty that she died, and he felt guilty after takeing up that job for someone that made him think of Aerith (I know this sounds vague but I remember that he took a job that made him feel bad about Aerith, I think you know what im talking about.) which is when Aerith put in her aperences to try and help Cloud get over his guilt, her aperences did nothing to hinder him, at all the fact is he was already being hindered and she was trying to help him.

That's bull^10.
To be specific, she did try to help him, but inadvertantly stirred up his . Yeah, he was maybe a little guilty before, but when she appeared, it got worse. Her plan backfired. In the end it worked out, but not wholly because of Aeris.

Right have just done some research and so on I'v come to the conclusion that she did infact help Cloud remember the start of the film Cloud was barly able to keep the monsters Kadaj and the gang threw at him, and was only saved from a beating because Kadaj dissmissed them, then later on when he is rideing to the base and otw there Aerith makes an apperence and asks who he wants forgivness from, and then by some unkown miracle he is able to keep Kadaj and the gang back untill Vincent rescues him, and then you have a scene where he is disscussing things with Tifa and the Turks and at the end the screen flashes white and you hear this:

Cloud: But... I let you die...
Aerith: *sigh* dillydally shillyshally, isnt it time you did the forgiveing
*back in the forest*
Cloud: are sins ever forgiven?
Vincent: I'v never tried
Cloud: you mean... never tried?
Cloud: Marlene, lets go.
Marlene: *nods*
Cloud: Well I'm gunna try.

So in short yes, she definately did help him.

you obviously didnt understand what I was writeing... not that I'd expect you to but it was an apeal to people like RedXII13 who posted that message, and frankly im both shocked and amazed that no one has replyed to what he said.

Yeah, I knew what you meant. But like I said, some punk is going to probably come on and scream at you about how you can't tell them what to do, they can post whatever they want when the want,rant,rant,rant, blah,blah,blah,blah. etc.
And why should you be surprised? They will know that there's going to be Aeris haters here and why the hell would someone that loves her post on a thread that hates her? It's retardedness in the most pure form. It doesn't seem, to me at least, that a warning such as yours was needed, that's all.

erm... where did I tell them not to post, all I was doing was giveing advise plain and simple.

I hate Aeris. I think she's one of the most annoying Final Fantasy characters ever.

Ah, yes, in this case she did help him, somewhat. But linking her appearing to him to his being able to hold off Larry, Curly, and Moe, is wrong in my opinion. In the start of the movie, he was 1) Getting gang beaten by a bunch of shadow monsters 2) taken by surprise, and 3) was in an unfavorable position to fight with his style of figting. (Very hard to swordfight on a speeding motorcycle) At that point in the movie the laws of physics still applied somewhat, so gravity dying was not quite available yet.
So, what we have in the Forest battle was fighting postition, lack of enemies, and preparedness, all of which were lacking in the beginning of the movie.

I would like to add that Tifa had a great deal to do with Cloud shaping up, and put his emo reasons behind him. No doubt she had told him to move on, that Aeris didn't blame him, but would he listen? NOOOOOOOOO, of course not. Men never do. He had to get it straight from the horses' mouth, and until then he wouldn't be satisfied. So when Aeris began hinting that she didn't blame him, Tifa's treatment really got him going on the path to recovery, so to speak.

erm... where did I tell them not to post, all I was doing was giveing advise plain and simple.

Oh, I never said that you were telling them not to post; just that some pain in the ass will come on here and interpert it that way. It was advice, but others may not see it that way. Advice on forums is rarely recognized by others--I know from experience.

i still think shes a slut, and it was PLAINLY OBVIOUS that cloud and tifa were romantically linked, and any sane person would see that, so aerith damn well knew exactly what she was doing with cloud and tifa, and she just continued. and btw ill allow ryushikaze to speak on my behalf

a slut? ha ha if you are nice to her she seems like a nice innocent girl but if your not she’s horrible! but can you blame her? and as for Cloud and Tifa they are childhood friends that’s it!

[Ryushikaze]

Chris, if you want to get into the LTD, then just ask. I have a nice handy pile of evidence ready to destroy your position. Just say the word- or make a thread- and I will be there to bring the empirical smackdown.

As for KHK, I don't think she was a slut. A snarky bitch at times, but not a slut. Though I will say if she couldn't see the cliche tension between Cloud and Tifa then she's as aware as a rock or willfully deluding herself. I believe it to be the latter.

[f f freak]

Personally I hate Aeris. Well okay I guess I don't hate her. She has her uses. But then I just discard her. She seems to get in the way quite often. Well she does to me anyway. She didn't seem to have a real personality.

[Pure Aerisbeauty7]

I'm sorry but I don't think Aeris is a slut at all. She's really nice and she just liked Cloud. There's no crime in loving someone.

[f f freak]

I'm sorry but I don't think Aeris is a slut at all

I don't think she was a slut either. Also there's no need to apologise for stating what you think.

[chrisfffan]

she wasn’t a slut! if your nice to her she’s a nice innocent girl but if your not she’s horrible but can you blame her?

[f f freak]

Well I wasn't nice to her because I prefered Tifa so I was nice to Tifa and pretty indifferent towards Aeris.

[Ryushikaze]

Actually, she goes snarky no matter how you treat her over the course of the game.

As an aside: How come no one cares about the Yuffster like this? I've seen just as horrible things said about her, too, but no one either seems to care, either in the echoing or the defending. My guess is because she isn't regarded as a 'serious' opponent for Cloud's affection, which is where I think a LOT of the hostility towards both Tifa and Aerith comes from.
