It's funny how the characters could stand gigantic monsters smacking them with 1000 ton attacks and burning them alive, yet die instantly when someone stabs them with a sword.
How did anyone care that she died? She was a meaningless two dimensional character, and not a particularly interesting one. I was entirely indifferent to her dying.
Heh, I never get up to this scene. (Either I quit or delete the game, lol) I decided, "well, i am probably NEVER going to get up to this part, so i might as well watch this."
There's a lot of controversy over whether this should be remade. I'm one of those people who's on the fence. On the one hand, it would be awesome to see the game as shown in Advent Children and Crisis Core - plus, I would KILL to hear Liam O'Brien speak more than ONE line for Red XIII. But, on the other hand, this game is such a classic, and part of its charm comes from the graphics as they are now. (It's kinda like playing the 8-bit Nintendo games. They have a charm that newer games don't.)
I'm not a fan of the remake idea. I play and love VII and it has a quality I can't even describe in words. I would still play a remake for sure, but I'm happy to see SE working on completely new installments. Besides, all I wanted was for the back catalogue to be made online for download (legally) and now that VII is on there (not too sure about the others), I think it's enough that we can play the game without shelling out so much for a used copy.
I'd like a remake, but only if it stayed faithfull to the original. I wouldn't mind a more in-deph view of the FFVII-World and some cool new battle sistem, but they should leave out all the retcons and additional Sue-ish Characters from the sequels...
hmmmm..im dissapointed cuz zacks death was all dramatic and yuh know...good cgi animation and this was all, not cool animated cgi whatever. i never played this game so im not saying the gane is bad. i just wished it was more like crisis core.
Oh i c. I never played the games, but looked around on youtube for the clips of the story. The history of the moments confused me. I didn't really know this was in 1997. I guess when I wrote this comment, I was wondering why they made cc and not remake this maybe? idk. Something like that. Thank you for not blowing up on me form my cluelessness, lol.
i believe tat they wont make a remake of this because they believe that it wouldnt make a profit. i think that this is the best game ever made n would by at least three copies if they had a remake on the PS3
idiot! this game came out in 1997 of course it'snot gonna have as good grapics as crisis core! start respecting one of the biggest stamps in gaming it sickens me how people don't realize how awesome this game is and don't respect it!!
o i'm sorry but it pisses me off when someone compares a game from 2007 which we had good cgi and a game that came out 10 years before it honestly i know u didn't know but come on it's a little easy to tell when it came out since it left a huge stamp in gaming now am i saying it's the best game ever no but it's one of them and this scene is reallly sad
Nah you're right. Me and my crappy common sense, I guess. Yah that would piss me off as well. I didn't play these games, so when I found out she die I was sad too, and looked around for a scene (if there was one) on her death, and found this. So I was mixed-up when I watched this. heh^^; sorry for offending you, though.
it's ok i just want more people to respect this game and it's awesomeness you want a perfect example go into my channel look in my favorites and watch the final fantasy vii video i have in there it's the 2nd favorite on the top and since u haven't played this buy it on ebay i got mine for $40 works perfectly
@amitrius17 Um how is Tifa a slut? :s I don't like her either but can you give me proof that she screws around? I mean she's pretty damn obsessed with Cloud, but Cloud seems to have fallen in love in Aeris instead. Ah well, go Cloud and Aeris!
When I saw this FMV settling things with sephiroth became as personal for me as it was for Cloud. This is mainly due to the fact that I had got Aeris' level somewhere of 60 and after he killed her off my hardwork was pointless(sob) I've hated him ever since and I was only eight back then. For a kid to bear that much hated.
Probly the most shocking scene in a videogame for me. I think i was more pissed then sad because i had kept her in my party up til this point making her stronger when i could have been using somone else considering all that work was worthless! Great plot twist though!
good video,i play this game from time to time,i just wish they could have made a way to bring her back to life, and you really start thinking that.sadness and sorrow are part of us ,and this part of the game is a reminder that you only get to live for so long.
spetiroth was laghing haha now here spirt be part of this cloud wa balling why didn he have to kill her it's not important nany how and cluod sad shut up
take your stupid drunken drivel somewhere else zackman1..very emotional game,i got extremely scared when cloud would have been(destroying first mako generator!).Pity,got so scared i didnt get any further than the 2nd mako generator
cheesiest shit ever. I played this on release day and laughed at how cheesy it was. You people crying over it (and still cry WTF?) are fucking pussies.
Excuse me, but that is very rude. Just because we see something sad and react to it that makes us pussies? Um, I'm sorry, but the only one acting like a pussy right now is you.
I can't watch this scene without crying. And to the Aeris-haters, come on! Think about what you're saying! She doesn't do anything worthy of being called a bitch. *prays for the happiness of all Aeris-fans Aeris style*
when I frist say this in the game I was pissed cause aeris kicked ass and was one of my all the time playing chaters but I was also depressed cause Cloud had lost the only girl he cared for and its bull shit so I beated the fuck out of jenova big time the whole time the music was playing it had mad me even more pissed off Idk Final Fantasy loves to fuck with your emotions like that in all good vedio unlike the others
I agree with you, outerheaven89. I think the majority of Aeris-bashers tend to be Tifa-only or Yuffie-only fans. Me, I like all three of them. I like all the characters, frankly. I don't get how people can call Aeris a bitch, either. She's the sweetest girl in the game! T.T What about Yuffie, I mean, she's the one who steals your stuff, no offense! XD
Now you I like, amitrius17. I go to other FMVs of Aeris's death and find such disrespectful comments. So what if she's a game character, she still didn't deserve to die that way! *Cries* I can't watch it without crying! Poor Cloud-tachi! *sobs*
hey if u look at sephiroths hands while in the scene you can see he whears gloves and has no gloves in the same scene lol and how does cloud stand in the water that is that deep lol but great scene all the same
..watching this brings back the good memories...and no, not how Aeris died. Its how good the plot in Final Fantasy 7 is. Also, I think this part is the climax in the whole game. and the rest are falling action. wow. it really brings back the memories....
yeah..it was all of a sudden. she probably kept it a secret from the beginning about the meteor...shes brave too. Was that the part when Cloud has a dream and Aeris is talking to him in the dream?
you get soo emotional about that scene even now and it becomes so hard to fight jenova with your emotions and that 'aries dies' theme while your fighting it makes it 10 times worse
I saw the FMV way before I started playing the game, so I wasn't the slightest bit surprised when it happened. My friend called me to help him with that part, and when she died, he said,"now this is what I call a happy ending." because he hated Aeris.

tomgirl1488 5 days ago
The real Sephiroth was not there to kill Aeris, he was..and is,until the very end...deep in the Northern Crater hindering Holy.
Jenova has the power to shapeshift, that's why we see 'Sephiroth' here killing Aeris, and why you have to fight 'her' after Aeris' death.
