What is she doing?

What is Aeris doing in the opening movie? She’s surronded by that green light, which I guessed as the lifestream or something… but what are your ideas on what she’s doing in that alley?

It could either be an extensive clip showing that the planet was born from the lifestream and that she was born with it, bringing life to the planet in the form of her flowers.

Or actually just the mako in the air as she collects the flowers to sell.

I would choose the first one, but I didn’t right the story though! Lol

The first time I saw it, I was like… ooh…. green shiny little things XD i had no idea though that the girl would be aeris so I just erased her FMV sequence from my mind untill I meet her again and though.. h�! that’s the girl with the green shiny things (and flowers) what’s up with her?
The second time and all the others times I always thought it was the lifestream (and always waved to her saying; hmmm you’re gonna die soon)

**Spoilers**

Ok here we go. In the opening FMV we all see Aeris surrounded by the green thingies which are found in the lifestream. But when you defeat Sephorith and you get to see the final FMVin the end we see Aeris again in the lifestream. She has become part of it and helpen stop meteor. What you see in the begining is actually a taste of things to come (or so I believe).

She’s selling flowers… that’s right. Cause she’s still there selling flowers after the first reactor blows up, and you buy a flower from her (if you noticed, you don’t actually lose 1 gil when you buy the flower, cause she joins your party later anyway XD) Yeah, so maybe she was just interested in the lifestream.

That green stuff was the Life stream??!! I honestly thought it was mako. Well later on in the game I gathered that Shinra got mako from the planet, and that tube (or something) was filled with mako. Aeris was obvioulsy selling flowers cuz we discover that also later on.

I still try to see clearly what the heck that stuff is each time I play it.

Am i going crazy or is that the same fmv that you see at the end? Its been quite along time since i played FF7.

hey
Yes, it is the same FMV from the end at the beginning, i agree that it might be a sort of sample of things to come, but remember when buguhagan or whatever his name was, said that after eveything dies, it become a part of the life stream, and when a persons energy goes into something new, it retains a certain part of it’s last life, so maybe, in the beginning, it kind of shows that in her last life she was imporatnat, in this life she will be important and at the end, it gives you the idea that her next life will be important, i don’t know, that’s just always the way i looked at it.

laterz

NO she is in an ally and it zooms out and she is in a street RIGHT. So how can that be the beggining of a new life or HER LIFE.

guys……….shes just selling flowers for a gil…..thats all

i think she was on coke…. O_o
nah… im just kiddin…..
i think that she sees lifestream a lot since she is an ancient and she just sees things but just dont care…..
i think that she is really seeing people frum midgar and their life force.. .or watever… flow into the full stream

Umm the green stuff is Mako and shes selling flowers. The only importance I saw in itthe first time is that shes selling flowers and thats stilll all I think ofit.

Selling flowers.

Selling herself.

Or the scene is a dramatic forshadowing of events yet to unfold in an epic tale of friendship and loss. Ending with some profound understanding slipping by you because you do not have the same brain as the writers, and even if you did you still wouldnt understand it.

But I think she is selling flowers as a front to selling herself. The mako energy is actualy waste runoff from the shinra building giving everyone the lifespan of a goat and the temperment of a baby.

Or not.
