  • The sound of him pulling the sword out of her still gives me chills brrr...

  • putz chorei.....

  • Having clouds limit break at the start of the battle actually feels so much better, it just feels so right

  • all i can say is i hate sephiroth, he's an ass and why does he have to kill a really good character? i cry everytime to this, espically the part when she sinks. :'( SEPHIROTH IS AN ASSHOLE! Y DOES AERITH HAVE TO BE DEAD?! thumbs up if u agree

  • ^_^ I laughed when Sephiroth stopped his victory pose to slowly turn his gaze to Cloud and asked, "What are you saying? Are you trying to tell me that you have feelings too?". TOO?? Seriously, Sephiroth? Is that a crime? XD Oh, I so love this game.

  • I always cry like a bitch everytime I get to this part of the game! ={

  • The sad battle with Jenova while Aeris is dying, its like the characters were grieving for real

  • The most touching scene in video games

  • I think Aeris actually died by drowning :D :D :D

  • when the music kicks in a get teary and when the drop thing is falling into the water my chest just bursts and i cry :/

  • One of the saddest moments in any final fantasy game,besides the death of general leo,and ending for final fantasy x :(

  • i mean at the citscene not when cloud was about to strike

  • the opening soothe of music and when you see sephiroths face after the stab scares the hell outta me. Its just so... eriee

  • @sailorbubidukes Oh I never did. I just know what happens.

  • Look at Sephiroth's hands at 0:38. You see that there are NO gloves.

    And then at like 0"59 he's got gloves on....

    Yeah

  • what an overrated piece of shit.

  • @kingbooforums

    I love your maturity

  • This was the first game for me that really made me feel something for the characters. I played through the game the first time and used tifa and barret. Playing through the whole game with them make this a really sad moment. Plus given their history barret looks like he want to offer some comfort to cloud.. but knows he can't as he's been through the same thing with the death of his wife. And tifa although she loves cloud she grew to be close friend to aeris so mourns the loss of her friend..

  • fuck it that ping the second the materia hits the ground still gets me just a shead chill straight through my spine nearly 14 years later

  • I'd like to see this remade best scene in ff7 x I remember the first time I saw this years ago I just held my breath for a few seconds when the sword pierced her body then I cried when the music started to play x

  • And then....her body rotted in the water,scary as fuck!

  • Thumbs up if you cried first time you saw this! I know I did!

  • Man, Tifa's reaction really get's to me. Kneeling by Aeris, brushing her hair before rushing off sobbing. The timing of the music with the visuals, and hearing that music non-stop throughout the boss-fight... for me, this is the most epic scene of my childhood, and watching it never fails to get me a little emotional.

  • so, since cloud was in a mind fuck and in control of mommy's boy, that means she died by clouds blade.

  • cloud motherfucker, phoenix down, phoenix down!!

  • @arkharionthehedgehog Phoenix down is use when K.O,not died

  • I think what really did it for me was her theme. So few time have I heard so much as the opening and not have some degree of sadness. Almost never fails to think back at how sad the scene was.

  • In the whole game this almost made me cry...good times.

    I cleared all 3 disc on PS

  • This is still one of the saddest things in a VGM ever... Gen. Leo's death scale. The Twins turning themselves into stone (before you knew they came back) scale.

    I always wondered why instead of dropping her so poetically into the water... Why didn't they cast life or use a Phoenix Down?

  • @nhl2k3brett They couldn't cast it coz Pheonix down and Life are only for KO..And Aeris was truly dead...Plus I think she needed to die to help save the planet.

  • When I first watched this scene at age 12 I didn't mind Aerith's death because I never used her in my party and because I had already fallen for Sephiroth's dark charms. Now I'm 20 and I really miss Aerith...

  • @zillasenetai I was the same way practically! The first time I saw this happen, I was like 10 years old and I just didn't care all that much because I hardly used her in my party. So when she died, I thought, "...ok well at least I dont have to worry about her not being very helpful anymore." Then I played the game for the first time in a while. I'm 18. I actually used her a decent amount throughout the game and when it got to this part, I got really bummed. =(

  • Comment removed

  • I saw this scene around 3 in the morning, tired as heck. And my reaction was "Huh.......Dammit, I lost my healer."

  • Sephiroth used Hell's Gate on Aerith, That Bastard!!!!!!!

  • Thanks for the spoiler alert jerk

  • I love how Jenova's only line in the game has a typo. XD

  • @itachiforce717 what do you mean?

  • @draconicimpulse "beAcause you are... a puppet" kind of ruins the sadness of the scene.

  • @itachiforce717 true true.

    somehow I never noticed that.

  • Easily one of the saddest moments in gaming, along with Zack's death in Crisis Core, FF7 will always be the best final fantasy.

  • @Shadowstorm8 I thought When you fight Astraea in Demon's Souls was pretty sad......

  • @ZodiarkSavior Never played Demon's Souls

  • @Shadowstorm8 Playyyyy it. Extremely challenging game. :D

  • and this is why Final fantasy VII will always be the best FF game every made, thanks for uploading this

  • This would be a terrible battle to lose.

  • Phoenix down only works if you've fainted.

  • Can't they just use a Pheonix Down?

  • saaad scene...

    i wish they would remake this...that would be awesome...

    but this scene is just soo sad...

  • I'd be happy with just a rerelease of the old version on steam .... i'd srsly pay the full 50 bux for it :(

  • i think it either did get remade or it is being remade

  • lol when she was stabbed there was n blood watsoever

  • aww so sad, i love how u called her "Aerith" and not "Aeris"

  • i had the water ring for this fight so, cloud kept getting healed when jenova attacked him

  • No!! After playing crisis core, she appears so lovely! Then this!! Fuckin Sephiroth. Btw, was that the white materia that fell into the water? And I am not uneducated! OK Drexxin? Steriotypical git.

  • @Beholdthecoma Holy. ^ ^~

  • T_T

    Why? Why!? WHY!?!

  • what? no pheonyx down????

  • You sir, have done what no other person on youtube has done. You have uploaded the entire scene unedited. I commend you.

  • Oh how uneducated kids are in touching death scenes in video games...

  • best scene in any video game hands down, but your battle could have been better

    Barret's limit level was 1. i had level three before Kalm

    and i could tell Cloud was not on his limit level 4

    still good scene i always used tifa and vincent

  • the thing is, when you die in battle, you are K.O'd. but you can be brought back to life with a phoenix down, or by casting the spell 'Life'. Aerith was KILLED, not K.O'd. therefore, a phoenix down or the 'Life' spell could not have saved her, no matter what.

  • it really was sad :'(

  • The dialogue in this scene was the best, it was really touching

  • yea just use life on her lol

  • This battle is a fail.

    You get an item that makes Jenova's attacks heal you in the forest of the ancients.

    Then you give it to cloud and haste Jenova.

    After about 15 attacks she runs out of power and you can all attack her freely.

  • Whats funny is when Cloud puts her in the water he is waist deep yet when she sinks it looks like she could go down for miles and miles. If this is the case how was Cloud able to stand in the water? :D

  • 1 seth turn black when he killed aerith

    2 I WOULD HAVE PHONEIX DOWN HER

  • This scene made me cry.

  • Did you see ?

    When Sephiroth fall into the air he does not have gloves, but when he kill Aerith he does... o.O

  • holy shit.....good eye man

  • Ahah, thanks :D

  • god eyes

  • I wans't really trying to critisize people its just in my life I don't see many tears so I'm not one to understand this kinda thing

    besides I never palyed FF7 so that expains itself.

  • Yes I know I forgot the fucking ? at the end of the comment but I must agree with you and all who say this... WHY in the hell would you cry over Areith dying?! Yes I understand some people are more emotional than others or can get into a game story lines pretty well but come on people it a game my god if your gonna cry about a FF character death at least have some pride and cry over FF 7 crisis core's ending at least it looks better and its a hell of alot sadder than this one.

  • I will disagree altho Zacks death was sad it can't compare to aeriths if you actually payed any attention to the story you would know that you could have cloud sorta in the games term fall in love with aerith which a majority of the ff7 plays did and thats what makes it more sadder. Don't criticize ppl for being human and crying it actually nice that ppl cry it shows they got heart.

  • Did anyone ever notice how deep that pool of water is? And how Cloud is able to walk in it (and when Aerith is submerged, you do see any piece of land for him to stand on). This did this same bullshit in FFX and Tidus and Yuna were in the pool of water in Macalania Forest.

  • way to go sepiroth, too bad that you didn´t finished Cloud

  • this game realy is one of a kind. to bad the next generation has nothing ike this

  • @smyth0 You mean Xbox 360,Wii,and PS3 cuz PS2,Xbox,and Game cube are in the same as PS1,N64,Dreamcast etc. but yeah your right! nothing is like this!

  • @smyth0

    they ve.

    Crisis Core FFVII :DD

  • Ok first off FUCK you tyandthaydra and second how the hell can one have a life if there smoking crack in there basement (like you) selling everthing to get more crack and losing every friend with some common sense

  • Tifa's reaction, when she kneels down, touches her hair then runs off sobbing is...so sad.

  • the first time i saw this scene i was 15...when cloud started to say: "Aeris is gone. Aeris will no longer talk, no longer laugh, cry...or get angry..." and then :"My fingers are tingling, my mouth is dry, my eyes are burning!" i cried very much. i know, i'm a boy but this scene has deeply touched my soul...i felt in love of aeris...but...but...she's dead...

  • i remember this scene i was so angry and full of tears that i actually hopped off jenova

  • it's better hitting the head...you die more quickly and there's no pain...better a pistol than a stupid sword...

  • T_T sad and beautiful BBBBUUUUUUUAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

  • ;~; I don't even play this game and this scene makes me teary-eyed. The graphics aren't the best I've seen, yet they managed to make it so cinematic, so effectively emotional. Absolutely beautiful, yet sad.

  • so that was the most shockingscene in video game history?

  • Dear Aruflets, have u maybe seen me when i was 15 playing ff7 and seeing the scene of aeris' death??? How can you say i'm lying? I really cried...why am i wasting my time in answering to you? i don't know...

  • Hueee... you are so angry..... Hueee...... better see this movie "Brigde to Terabhitia"

  • the first time i saw this scene i was 15...when cloud started to say: "Aeris is gone. Aeris will no longer talk, no longer laugh, cry...or get angry..." and then :"My fingers are tingling, my mouth is dry, my eyes are burning!" i cried very much. i know, i'm a boy but this scene has deeply touched my soul...i felt in love of aeris...but...but...she's dead...

  • how the hell he walk onto that lake

  • I wish sephiroth would have summoned chocomog instead, but the one where the fat chocobo falls down and squashes you.

  • i wish theres a rivival version

  • .... Seriously, I've watched this death scene time and time again, hoping that i'd feel some sort of sympathy for her. Try #9: Nothing. It's a sad scene but imo I think its stupidly put together. Sephiroth comes from the sky stabs her... once, she dies instantly. For me, far from the best death scene in video game history as acclaimed by others. Now Zack's death from CC was a WHOLE lot better, at least he had the decency to have last words. "Do you think I became a hero?" Now there's a scene. :)

  • You never created a bond with the character, obviously have no idea what her death means, and its far from "stupidly" put together. You critique a game scene and that's your reason for why its bad? Wow. Least you aren't getting paid. If you even played the game you would know why she died that way. Someone who thinks a cheese ball line like "Do you think I became a hero" makes a great death scene should not be referring to a scene that just about EVERYONE recognizes as great as "stupidly."

  • What "bond"? She died so damn early in the game how could I. I think that's why I felt no sympathy. An early death isn't a sad death imo. And when did I critisize the entire game? O.o

    The scene was just eww. I mean when did it become so sad for someone to randomly get stabbed? Sure, shocking it was, but sad? C'mon this was supposed to be the most realistic (bar the graphics) final fantasy there was. Putting her whole death in an FMV was a stupid move is what I meant. ;)

  • Don't talk about things you know nothing about. It's in the game for a reason! And it's also a symbolic relationship when you find out that Cloud basically turned himself into Zack! Zack loved Aeris, so in way, that's why Cloud did as well. You have to put everything together. She died early in the game, yes, but that makes it sad, because you don't know who Cloud really loved....

  • How is this sad? Or are you just going with the crowd. Yeah, I know Cloud wanted to be like Zack but how can he take his feelings for Aerith? Makes no sense. So, this isn't sad, they weren't lovers? Ok the last Ancient died, why don't you cry for the other thousands that died too? Plus, when this was made many players had no clue about Zack, infact this scene wasn't even famous then. Somehow it became famous. O.o So tell me again why this is sad?

  • Because Aeris is, yes, an Ancient, but she's one of the people in the world that you should care about. She's nice and compassionate. And really, I think I prefer her to Tifa. You only want to argue to get people to pay attention to you. If you don't like Aeris and her death scene, why are you here? Why are we having this conversation when I bet you could be doing better things with your time? What, have nothing better to do? Then I pity your impudence.

  • Funny you should ask me. My friend sent this to me... AGAIN. I told him it was dumb. He told me, and I quote "Take your complaints to youtube" That's why im here. See how I was the one who commented first? You wanted to argue against me. Plus, I wanted to know why everyone else likes this? Going with the crowd again? Did you cry watching this?

  • Actually, I did cry watching it. Because I have a soul. :D And just because a friend sends it to you doesn't mean you have to watch it and comment. There's no point in bashing something, because it only makes you seem like an asshole.

  • Like I said before, it was the ninth time, I was pretty fed up about it. Plus, it was more like my saying my opinion than bashing, and asking why some many ppl liked this. The FMV was icky so I don't know about you but I can't cry and be pressing the "x" button at the same time, that just reminds you that you're playing a game. So can you tell me the time where the tears began? The last thing I wanted was to come off as rude, just saying. FF7 is awesome. Even if "someone" is emo.

  • I cried when I saw the sword go through her body. And if you don't want to come off as rude, then you don't say that this scenes sucks and ask why people like it. That makes you seem very ignorant.

  • So if you don't cry at the death of a fictionally weak bitch means you have no soul? Wow. What a great life you have, buddy.

  • No, dick weed. You have no soul when you go around bashing a character that other people like only because you can.

  • It's not because I can. It's because I fucking hate her ass. I have, even since I was little. If people can come a round talking about how much they love her, why can't people talk about how much they hate her? Or did Free Speech suddenly stop existing because people disagree with you?

  • This scene is about Aeris. If you don't like her, then why watch it and comment? That makes you look like an asshole.

  • @FallenAngelDeath Aerith.

  • I've never played Final Fantasy; I only knew Cloud and Aerith (vaguely) from Kingdom Hearts, and I thought Aerith was kind of dorky in KH. Yet this scene brought a tear to my eye. Just the whole atmosphere, the music, how she died suddenly, Cloud's reaction, it all makes the scene very sad. You don't have to know Zack to find it sad. I'm proof that you don't even have to know Final Fantasy to find it sad.

  • Barret Rules

  • Yeah, Michelle Barrett..... *wink*

  • Tifa and cloud suit more than aerith and cloud. Zack and Aerith suited more in crisis core.

  • buaaa! T___T este video me hace llorar!

  • poor Aerith ='( ....i think she didnt deserve this...

    the part when the pearl from her ribbon drops down and hits the bottom same time as her theme sets in.... just piercing

  • i think that was the materia her mother gave her

  • does this means that Zack and Aerith is now togethere hurray! im glad their both together now... since the ff7 where zack died *sob* now im happy... they are in a happy place togethere now Zack and Aerith :) *sob*

  • Her theme is way too happy for the scene... T_T

    Ruins it!!

  • i dont freakin care how many you are this made every player of this game cry a little.

    at first its like...naw...it cant be...she cant be dead.

    then the music, the sad music.

    sephiroth you son of a B$#$%

  • gosh i remember the first time i played this game and saw this part i was crying/so ticked off and rdy to kick his ***. wow i still feel that way.

  • I found Zacks death in Crisis Core saddening :(

  • ff7 is just sad...lool

  • i bought the game yesterday and finish it today ye it realy sad i was about to cry cuz he promised Aerith that his gonna take her to see the clouds with him but it didnt happened *sob* *sob* he died *cry loud *

  • biggest fail.

  • Are you kidding? That is quite impossible if you played this, EVERYONE who has played this remembers this scene. Either you have a spotty memory or you're just flat-out lying.

  • :/

    I remember barret coming along but i honestly cant remember the cut scene where Big seth comes down and i can remember fighting the boss now.

    I must of blocked it out :P

    Nostalgia overload !!!!!!!

  • it brings so much memories back, fuck =)

    i wanne pLay it again, where can i get this stiLl now? there are 3cds to pLay or? aerith was one of my fav. charakters

  • i never knew Aerith died! i'm a follower of kingdom hearts, although i do enjoy FFVIII. This is a really sad scene. Why doesn't Sephiroth have his wing yet?

  • Now she can reunite with Zack. Even though this is the saddest part in FF7

  • I still cry every time I see this. FF7 is the greatest game ever!

  • I could not stop crying! When I played Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII, I thought Zack's death was depressing... Oh, Aerith! I am sorry that I ever thought of myself as a fan of Sephiroth! That demon! I will always love you, Aerith!

  • Sephiroth can walk on water? Was some jesus DNA mixed in with the Jenova cells. Maybe Jesus and Jenova had a child, the greatest secret in the world of final fantasy one that some would kill to know and others would kill to protect. This is the true purpose of SOLDIER....Maybe.

  • Cloud walks on water idiot.

  • WHo are you to call me an idiot

  • Im you with a slightly longer beard. I have more life experience and am wiser.

  • why are you talking about beards ? LOL

  • This is so sad. I have only see the movie but not played the game but I want to. I just can't find it somewhere to find it. Does someone know a good internet gameshop there you can find this game?

  • I got mine on amazon, and my friend got hers on ebay so u kind try there if u want

    hope that was helpful^_^

  • Sure it's sad now, but when you actually get to this point when you authentically play through the game it's even sadder. T-T

    R.I.P. Aerith Gainsborough

  • thx for posting, and is that lucy in your dp?? i cant really tell..to small...

  • pheonix down?

  • T-T

  • Woo go sephy XD

    Its not sad at first..until the song starts )': the song in advent children :( *sobs*

  • so sad

  • that is really sad! :-(

    But I wonder, did she love Cloud or Zack more...

  • It doesn't matter because Cloud loved her.

  • It doesn't matter, they're one and the same. She loved Zack first, but Cloud was an exact duplicate so it was like this was happening all over again.

  • No no, it's confirmed more than once that she understands they are two different people. She even confirms herself in Maiden of the Planet that she loves Cloud and her wish was to stay by him forever if she could.

  • poor Aerith, i loved her

  • great game, I really like it, but once I got to the second disk the game crapped out on me, I was borrowing from a friend so yeah...

    I really want to play again...

  • I love this game...still the best game of all ff series...

  • I've tryed playing this game though I have no PS1 memory card (Will be getting one soon) but I find this sooooo sad :'( Thanxs sooo much for posting this...

  • This is the best game ever made, everything is perfect (who needs amazing graphics and besides the graphics were amazing on the cut-scenes especially for a PS1 game)

    this scene was so sad and the music is gorgeous, thanx for adding the video!

  • this killed me when it came out , i cried when she died , it was so sad , keep in mind i was 13-14 at the time , i felt like crap for a month. for me this game was so freaking epic.

  • people cry at this because they find it sad.....duh...

  • It's since there's so much character development, if you were fan of the game you'd understand. It's like if one your friends died type of feeling and some people are simply overly sensitive.

  • ... I am a fan of the game. It's my favorite of the FF series, as a matter of fact. Mostly because of Aerith's death. I would go with overly sensitive.

  • ;-; Now I see why my friend cried at this!

    We were in Japanese, and looking at my KH2 book, and he sees a pic of Aerith and goes 'SHE'S BACK FROM THE DEAD!' And I'm like 'What?!' And he said FFXII was possibly the only game he's actually ever cried at.

  • My heart hurt through this whole scene.

    I love Aerith, so much.

    I don't like Tifa, but when she showed

    a little affection with Aerith(no homo intended), I really liked her for a moment.

    We love you Aerith, Rest In Paradise with Zack and Angeal<3

  • I agree totally! I cried so much, and I also agree with the Tifa thing.

  • When I first saw this scene, my heart ached as well, and I couldn't stop letting the tears flow. The reason why was that I loved this character, I'd seen her character get more and more fleshed out as I went along, and a character growing on you is a "no turning back" deal. Her racial issue also made this scene even sadder than it would've been w/o knowing her race.

    I already hated Sephiroth, but THIS was the last straw. I fucking despised Sephiroth after this. I still cry even after 6 years.

  • She died... why wont the people who want her back to life die?

  • The game is the best PERIOD

    the music form that scene makes it even more touching, this game is a part of my childhood
