Aeris's death was inspired by...I think it was the director's mother dying? Fuck, just about every party member has to deal with death at some point. Even putting aside the obvious death of Aeris, you've got Cloud and Tifa losing everyone in their hometown, Barret losing his team, Red losing his dad, Aeris losing her mom and informing her adoptive mother of the death of her husband, Vincent losing Lucretia...Shit, even the fucking onboard AI of Cait Sith has to face the inevitability of it's own death when it decides to sacrifice itself to retrieve the Black Materia, and a new Cait Sith showing up immediately afterwards doesn't really invalidate that. The only ones who haven't faced death directly are Yuffie and Cid, and even then they've faced the death of their dreams, or the dreams of their loved ones.
Like, it's whole thing is that people die, and you have to grieve, accept it and move on. Everybody living with zero consequences is the exact fucking opposite of that. It's the complete antithesis of the very core of Final Fantasy 7's theming.
Destiny and fate is more interesting than death. I might see it differently if I was as old as the purist fags, they probably have to think about it everyday.

Seth at your age old man. Death is for low iq babies that don’t question why it exists, or what drives us towards it.
But nomura was the one with the idea of killing aerith
Colton Parker
FF7 is about death FF7R is about fate
Jason Morgan
nomura was the one that suggested for aerith to die in the og though and prevented the other writers to kill off other characters that you didn't picked during the parachute to midgar. however i ain't gonna shill his crazy ideas here cuz his execution is not the best
I love when people play reductionist with stories and try to distill some giant story down to one or two themes. It just makes them look like a retard.

attack the argument not the user. You're not saying anything of worth with your post.
