nah it was more like a 'this sucks does this mean i just lost a party member? i used her as a healer do i keep my materia?' moment
Jack Anderson
You know what's even sadder? the game
Logan Moore
Yeah I was surprised when I played the game and found Aerith had an actual personality beyond being Ms. Perfect Nice Girl. It felt like her purpose in the game was more than just to make you feel bad about her dying, she had her own things going on so the message of her life being cut short was more authentic. Her loss is felt as more than the death of a likable character but as a genuinely devastating blow to the heroes' odds of success.

cloud look
Ryder Cook
Wtf bro you can't post this, the game's not even out yet
Zachary Fisher
Nah, it's really not. There's more sad events in Final Fantasy, let alone other JRPGs.
Ayden Baker
I still don't know why Sephiroth killed her and nobody else.
Kayden Peterson
I like how no one gives a shit about the previous scene where Sephiroth is forcing Cloud to strike Aerith. Her death is shocking because despite Cloud finally growing some balls and not following Sephiroth's commands, EdgyMcFuckface shows up and kill her personally.
Also she leaves the party way earlier so you don't waste leveling on her.
Did you chucklefucks play the game?
James Hughes
Because she was the only one who can cast Holy and counter the meteor
Bentley Adams
Because she wasn't a faggot ass human like the rest of them were.
Oliver Butler
Best girl was gonna stop the fag casting meteor with casting holy

So this is the power of Square...

It's like you fags don't remember based Galuf
Jeremiah Turner
Galuf's death isn't sad.
Caleb Gray

Ethan Turner
Galuf was an old ass king of another world pushing beyond his limits to save his granddaughter. He knew what was gonna happen.
Aerith is a young woman being hunted for her ancestry her whole life who dies suddenly and violently. Not even a comparable scenario at all.
Christopher Young
Because the developers wanted a sad cutscene. It's the same reason Final Fantasy IV has characters "die" whenever they need to free up a party slot. Or Yuna is forced into a pointless wedding in FFX. Or Aria dies like 10 minutes after you first meet her in FFIII.
Gameplay and logic take a back seat to graphics and plot in all FF games.
Andrew Long
You got me.
Alexander Martin
Still don't understand why she wasn't savable with a Phoenix Down or something. Blade went straight through her abdomen, missing her heart, lungs, and liver. At worst, her spinal cord was severed. Not a fatal wound.
Joshua Cooper
The FMVs of her actually being killed and her body sinking are overhyped, however the scene right after where Cloud says "She'll never laugh or cry or get angry" with THAT music while Cloud knows he's completely hopeless to bring back Aeris or avenge her right then are the real sad shit. And then the rest of the party comforting Cloud. Every character actually has a different animation for reacting to Aerith's death.

phoenix down is for KOs only
Sebastian Hill
because phoenix down doesnt revive people, just give them consciousness back
Brody Campbell
>Not a fatal wound
>died from one wound, which is that one
Owen Sanchez
Final Fantasy V shows there's a difference between merely having 0 HP and being pushed beyond that to dying. Also,
>severed spinal cord
>not fatal
You fucking retard.
Brandon Thomas
FF7's world is pretty depressing
Robert Jackson
Why did he drown her?
Levi Howard
Plot dictates character deaths. Not gameplay logic. And since it's so overdone, when a death occurs, your first expectation is they'll just pull a bullshit plot twist later on and have them come back to like (like half the cast in Final Fantasy IV). The only real way you know someone is dead in a FF game is when the final credits roll and you still haven't seen them come back to life. This saps all dramatic effect for a death scene at the time. The only people who thought Aeris' death was impacting were the people who's first story driven game was Final Fantasy VII.

wtf sakurai

>Country is shutting down on monday

>Either go to work and die or do literally nothing and die
Tyler Miller
Nice blog, faggot.
Gavin Gutierrez
Galuf was an old fuck that overdid himself and fought the final boss alone
Aerith sat there like a retard, let Cloud attack her and then did nothing while Sephiroth penetrated her backside.
Galuf's death isn't sad but don't expect me to care for a literal cryptic retard.
Cooper Price
I dropped the game when he died
Kayden Phillips
Damn you serious? I just recently got it on steam.
Easton Harris
>>Landlord cut my electricity
What? Why?
Ian Nguyen
Not paying the electric bill. Do you really think there is more than one possible reason here?
Luis Baker
Try playing it. They fucked it up two weeks and and still haven't fixed it.
>Final Fantasy XIV 2.3
>we're going to kill all the scions, everyone in the rebellion and even Nanamo!
>lol just kidding, no one really died
Death is literally meaningless in the Final Fantasy series.
Ryan Bell
It literally only happens in 4. Shadow too, somewhat, but not really.
FF7 wasn't even my first FF as a kid and I was almost crying when I understood she was dead for good watching Tifa touching her hair and Cloud dropping her in the lake.
Elijah Sullivan
I liked it when they killed the cool old man character then immediately did it a-fucking-gain in the next game.
Luis Nelson
People seem to forget she threatened to rip off Don Corneo's balls
Grayson Lee
>It literally only happens in 4. Shadow too, somewhat, but not really.
Final Fantasy I, III, VIII, X, XII, XIII and XIV also have moments when the cutscene makes you think a character died, but they later show up again. It's one of the staples of Final Fantasy as a series. Final Fantasy IV did it the most and in the most faceplam way. But it's hardly the only game. Hell, Final Fantasy XIV did it just to mock it. See Literally had some FFIV music playing during the "death" scenes as an inside joke to FF fans.
Brayden Rodriguez
Because he saw only her as a threat.
Adrian Cook
>Villain spares the heroes
>they kill him anyway
Oliver Cox
At least spring is coming up soon so you won't freeze
Austin Davis
you know what they say about good deeds!
Charles Smith
He understimated them, Aerith was the inmediate threat, Sephiroth thought the rest were manageable.
Dylan Thomas
>Yeah I was surprised when I played the game and found Aerith had an actual personality beyond being Ms. Perfect Nice Girl.
Don't worry. The remake is going to fix that mistake.
Dylan Bennett
He’s not dead, dummy. Keep playing the game.
Cooper Foster
Fun fact: The real villain of FFVII is Hojo. Sephiroth was a pawn, like all the others.
Jace Gomez
user, he tries to blow up the earth
Ryan Turner
Sephiroth needed to concentrate on holding Holy back after killing Aerith. (You could also make the case that the party was insurance that Black Materia would get to him even if Jenova possessed it at the time. And once he got it the party was insignificant to him, since he was inevitably going to become god or so he thought.)
Carson Ortiz
That would have happened hours earlier when she leaves your party. You have played the game, right?
Bentley Morales
Yes, you are right. Clouds response is the best bit of writing in the game and stuck with me
Jose James
Benjamin Jones
Why did you post a character that is still alive?
Jordan Ward
>literal zoomer finally finds out an iconic character death is legitimately depressing
Mother fucker killed your white mage/love interest! Are you going to let that bastard get away with it?
Angel Allen
It'd be less disingenuous if it were another male; this just looks like a chimp was unhappy that it wont get to fuck its desired mate as there sure wasn't enough time to even get to know each other to a significant extent. Hell, Tifa at least had a childhood history with Cloud so her death would have been more impactful. Cloud and Aeris were practically strangers even then.
This scene was dumb and meant to appeal to the most base emotions of horny teen boys, which is pathetic.
Anthony Price
>lost my strongest healer
>lost the bestest waifu
You can't even comprehend the level of sadness of this scene.
Joshua Mitchell
>>lost the bestest waifu
pfft okay

Color me surprised
Wyatt Collins

Matthew Ward
Yeah that is a major fear of mine.
Luke Jenkins
Characters come, go, and return. When she fucks off she isn't dead yet, retard.
