You know, regardless of whether you think the opera scene is kind of overrated or not, that orchestra is really given 'er, and that's pretty damn cool.

As for Aeris's death, I bought the Bradygames strategy guide when I finally bought FFVII. You can imagine how shocked I wasn't when I reached that scene. That's one thing that's always pissed me off a bit about my first time through the game. I already knew Aeris was going to die, so there wasn't really any emotional impact for me when I actually saw it.

I feel kind of like I've been slacking a bit on the insults front because of that decent stretch where my computer wasn't working, so here we go:

Isn't it nice how Cloud just let's Aeris's body sink into the water. Of course she'll just bloat and pop back up as decomposition releases all kinds of gases inside her body, so it's probably the least respectful thing he could do with her corpse, but still, it's kind of touching ain't it?

I'll be sure to come back tomorrow with more, including quotes from you poor fools who voted for the desecration of Aeris's meatsack as best cut scene.
