Did anyone cry when Aeris died! I personally laughed because she was my weakest character and I liked Tifa better.:D

<font color=red face="comic sans ms">I didn't cry when that happened. I don't ever remember when crying while playing any game; but this part in particular was ruined for me by a friend who decided to tell me it was going to happen before I even started playing the game. :p But still, I don't think I would have cried; it is a sad moment, but as I said, I don't ever remember crying while playing a game. Maybe come close, but it's never actually happened. ;)

Cry? Naw I was actually quite happy. I disliked Aeris very much.....She was quite annoying, when she forced herself to come to the Temple of ancients....and she was weak IMO. I pretty much just watched and moved on after she died.

I didn't cry, but I was shocked. Very shocked. It was a very powerful sequence. After that, I couldn't stop playing until I finished the game.

no i didn't cry but i did get really upset it was good for the game because it made you hate sephiroth even more so you eneded up trying to do anything to kill him :D

I didn't cry and I didn't get upset or so o_o. I was kinda shocked when it happened and that she died all of the sudden, but after that I was smiling since I finally didn't have her in my team anymore >XD

I just sat there...no expression no feelings. Just a video game guys, but I liked the scene anyway. I was actually happy, but in the same time pissed b/c I could have made Aries somewhat strong, but I couldn't since she died...

I didn't cry when she was killed, but it was kind of a shock first time round. Although the first thing I said was "Why don't they just use a Phoenix Down, or Life 2?" Now, of course, the difference between "KOd" and "Dead" has been explained to me, so that little problem I was solved.

I also noted through this thread that there's a lot of negative vibes towards Aeris as a battle character, which kind of has me scratching my head. Apart from Cloud, Aeris was the only other constant member of my party. I powered up her last limit break and everything. True, she doesn't attack as strong as the others, but there's a lot of balance in having her as a mage at the back of the party whilst the other two pummel the bosses to submission. Still, that's just my opinion.

I didn't cry, but gasped as the scene shocked the hell out of me :). First time a character death in FF had been so graphic, since it was first FMV death.

I was already ruined for me

I saw my freind play the sequence on his file Yet It was still very sad. Although she was really really weak after i knew she died I never used her becuase it would be a waste of exp ap ect.

I agree the most inspiring moment in ff

Nah, mainly because my brothers had spoiled it before I started playing. I guess you could say I was prepared for her to die. :p

I got angry because i used Aeris form the start and built up her levels so she was one of the strongest characters in my party.

Okay, I admit it, I cried. I don't anymore when I play, but the first time, yeah, definitely. I think it was more the stuff being said than the actual FMV that did it.

Yes i agree it wasnt the scene that made it strong. Clouds feelings afterwards as he spoke to sephiroth was so damn strong, it was so inspirational, incredible, just before you fight jenova, clouds words.... The saddest part in the game for me, emotionally, wasnt aeris death (i already knew as a friend had already spoilt it for me) was when cait sith offered to retrieve the black materia, it wouldnt have been so touching if he hadn't fallen over, but as soon as he tripped it was so emotional =(

That was a strong moment...

Definately the highlight of all rpg games to date, aeris death and proceding to cait siths kindness.

Hm, personally I think Aeris' death was the only flaw in otherwise so flawless FF7. Damn, I wasted all that exp and ap on her... And instead of growing up she just got wasted (already mentioned the ap/exp loss?).

The scene made me disappointed... Surprised? No. Shocked? No. I could see it coming, she was such an ignorant [well you know] it was obvious. And her attitude was annoying too, she refused to take the fact that she was weak, ever since the beginning of the game... Needing a bodyguard for a 2 block walk in Midgar and then getting snatched to Shinra as soon as she lacks one etc. etc. all the way until theres a 7 feet masa sticking outta her gullet.

Like I already mentioned, she could've just realized the facts and grown "emotionally" strong too, battlewise she already was formidable.

TIFA'S EEEEVVVVIIIILLLLL!!!!

I cried sooooo hard when she died, Vampy had to turn it off without saving and continue when I wasn't around. :p I feel dumb now, but Aeris is definatly the best!

Actually, I was going to cry, but I didn't...I felt surprised, sad and angry The reason is that I liked her. actually I liked her personality.
The scene was touching, not only because what cloud said to sepheroth after her death, not only Aeris's death, but her role in the story was really good.
Well...In more than one word, It WAS touching. One of the best scense in all FFs.

Well, I didn't cry or laugh when Aeris died as to me she wasn't a very interesting character but I was shocked, of course. Oh, and I thought Tifa was a better character as well :p

I saw it happen when my mum and brother ( Koenma) were playin FF7 a while ago. I didn't know anything about FF. Now I started playing FF7 and I met Aeris in my game and said to myself well Damn she's the one that dies. I found Aeris cool. It's a drag when you have to rescue her from that dude on disk one. I F***ing hate it when I have to rescue people. :notgood:

:alien: cool alien ya know!
