Aeris's (Aerith's) Theme - Final Fantasy 7 (Advent Children)

[Immakittycat1]

I remember when I learned this on the piano. I was really happy that I could play my favorite song. I'm only 14, but I got the original FF7 and played it, so I knew everything :) I can't play any other FF games, I feel like im cheating on the FF7 characters.. <3

[KiNgOfPoPLiVeS1]

I can play this :)

[VANDISLAVA]

What the HELL. When I was battling Sephiroth I had PLENTY of Pheonix Downs.

[Milomia9]

2:51 puts a different picture in my head every time I listen to it. This time it was baby Red XIII playing in the flowers while Ghost Aerith watches.

[Hellboy666ist]

ach man das weckt  errinerungen aber nichztnur an das game :) <3

[AtaraxiaMedia]

I should probably play this game now.

[KHstargurlkairi]

snooze time....*yawn*

[CAZPERsayz]

phoenix down is for knockout not death

he shouldve had life

[Hermione24101998]

oh and i'm sorry for your loss Gazsh

[Hermione24101998]

This game will never be forgotten.it was the game that revolutioned the history of rpgs and more important the game with the most touching story,that's why i don't care if it will be a remake or not i will continue to play it even if it will have the worst graphics.Final Fantasy VII and Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII are in my opinion the best games ever.

[ggFlaky]

This is just an assumption about Cloud's feelings for Aerith but Cloud adapted Zack's memories right? Maybe by some twist of fate, the feelings Zack has for Aerith remained with Cloud as well. XD

[RonCornallMusic]

great piece. check out my cover

RC

[greygardens89]

Cloud seemed to love Aeris more than Tifa, which is why I believe Aeris and Cloud should be together. Cloud thought it was Aeris who was reaching for him during the final scenes of the game, and he was heartbroken when Aeris died. I don't understand all this love for Tifa. 1. Aeris is the one who sacrificed herself for the planet. 2. Aeris is an Ancient, Tifa isn't. 3. Aeris is the first character you see at the beginning of the game. 4. Aeris's theme song and death are apart of gaming history.

[laajakuva]

@greygardens89 Wheter cloud really liked aeris or tifa more depended on your dialogue choices during the game. Also I think you mispelled "a part of".

[NegaZxyz]

@greygardens89 um yeah I wouldnt exactly call a guy with a giant sword falling from the sky and stabbing you sacrificing yourself

[kid2work]

@greygardens89 actually she didnt sacrifice herself, she was there so she could summon Holy to stop the comet

[jddeitz2000]

@kid2work

Yeah, she didn't know Sephy-boy was going to stab her from behind.

[voyej]

try to play Crisis Core in PSP, and i believe all of you will cry

[megaknightz]

@voyej I did

[roinable]

Is this the piano collections version? 

[NathanHawkins79]

So much potential...then the spam of images at the end. Love the song though!

[HwanTheLight]

...Sad moment... WHY DID CLOUD HAVE TO RUN OUT OF PHEONIX DOWNS?!!

[CAZPERsayz]

@HwanTheLight PHOENIX DOWN IS FOR KNOCKOUT NOT DEATH YOU DUMBASS

[Milomia9]

@HwanTheLight Although in mythology, pheonix downs bring people back to life, in the instruction manual it says they revive KO, not death.

[52Hangfire]

Still btings a tear to my eye to this day

[zellflux]

hehhe this song made my night while im writing my letter

[20815131192212019151]

@trungzin315 Unforunately thats only a minute long version, I want the entire thing.. but thanks anyway :)

[trungzin315]

@20815131192212019151 5:04 version. however there are so many version of orchestra for this song. dont know which one you are after.

4shared.com/mp3/glU5Gieh/Aerit­hs_Theme__Orchestra_Versi.html

[VinzVincentValentine]

oh my god... this song is so beautiful :*) *washing nose*

[20815131192212019151]

I can't find the orchestra version of this anymore, did they remove it? Can someone help me find it

[trungzin315]

@20815131192212019151 hope this help.

[Dart118]

I think according to the storyline Aerith was a Cetra which was a different kind of human who could control talk to the Planet. At one point all humans were Cetra but after Jenova came, most eventually abandoned their practices and became the modern technology-based humans we see in the game.

[j4rno0]

Tears dont leave my eyes....

[OrphanOfTheFlame]

Cloud with Aertith? What's your problem?! Aerith should be FOREVER with Zack. In life and death.

[MugenHeadNinja]

wait i was born when this game came out so does that make me awesome?

[TheMeow7410]

@MugenHeadNinja Way to give out your birth date to random internet strangers.

[MugenHeadNinja]

@TheMeow7410 i honestly dont care

[ThePhoenix4283]

New generations will never know...

[MrVegane13]

omfg why the fuck she died FF7 is the saddest game ever, FUCK i need to see cloud and Aerith Not with Tifa :/

[TheAkantor88]

@MrVegane13 Aerith was Zack´s girlfriend to beginn with so Tifa is good enough for Cloud

[kane570003]

@TheAkantor88 mhm

[j4rno0]

@MrVegane13 Play Crisis core for PSP, i think is more sad

[dannimac44]

omg lyke dis if u cry evry time ;'''(

[flyfallnite]

@dannimac44 please sit down, and open a dictionary.

[BlackAceRedJoker5]

Galuf of Final fantasy 5 Is way too strong than her, Aerith is just very young, Killed By Sephiroth and Galuf killed by Exdeath

[BiggestSoraFan1]

This song is just so beautiful! Everytime I hear it, I start to cry :'(

[Thewitcher232]

This song is incredible I have never heard of another video game that has such amazing piano. I really like piano songs but Nobuo Uematsu had created something so incredible.

I love this song.

[TheFallenxLullaby]

This song never gets old :)

[theblackmirror100]

@TheFallenxLullaby Your right!

[TheFallenxLullaby]

I listen to this song everywhere I go, sometimes several times a day. It's such a sad, emotional song, but yet when I listen to it, it soothes and relaxes me. Aerith ftw :)

[20815131192212019151]

I'm gonna try to learn this on the piano, although I cannot play 2 sounds at once which is hard, its worth a shot though :P

[basisti94]

@20815131192212019151

Do it. I know from experience that it is totally worth it.

I am lousy pianist but I forced myself to learn to play Ashitaka and San from Princess Mononoke Soundtrack. It took little bit over month for me to learn whole song, but after that I was much much better at playing piano.

[SusiePhilippa24]

I never had a PS so only recently I started to play FF in my computer. Since the first time I saw Aerith I liked her. She was always in my battles, always with me. And the day I saw her death I was talking with my best friend in skype and I just stopped everything and cried a lot and now everytime I listen to this song I cry because I remember what we pass together and I miss her a lot ='(

[LETSPLAYFelix1]

wunderschön.

[GothicAnime345]

Best Final Fantasy themes I think are: Why by Ayaka, Lightning's theme, Serahs theme, Aeriths theme and Cloud smiles. Exelent music. :')

[TheWhisperingvoice]

Absolutley wonderful :-)

[rezistorXG]

AERIS NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

[leopardface1]

@Gazsh1 I don't know what it's like to lose a brother, because I don't have one. But losing anyone close is always an enormous loss, and I promise, me being someone who knows what it's like to lose a dear one, that after a whiel, the pain will fade, and you'll think of the happy times rather than the loss. Maybe your life be filled with happiness and god bless you.

[jddeitz2000]

@Gazsh1

I'm very sorry for your loss.

[lanttikasasto]

@Gazsh1 lol hope he died in pain. HAHAHAHAHA

[SupremeMoonPower]

Arieth is one of my favorite characters.

[sazuist]

She looks like Yuna~

[statuscool]

frensh ^^ juste splendide la music sa me rechaufe le coeur ^^

[3CHRISreturn]

ok..now I can sleep happy!

[benzyny21]

@bekkybunny98 lol, it is a pretty name for a girl though :)

[bekkybunny98]

my dad named me aeris after her, but know nothing about it :'(

[trolaw05]

@bekkybunny98 Aeris ? So pretty name *-*

[bekkybunny98]

@trolaw05 hehe it is nice, to bad every one i meet says it wiered...so i have to go by my seccond name xD

[trolaw05]

@bekkybunny98 I don't think so... awesome name :D

So even if you don't look like aeris, you could be the best cosplayer .

[hokageofleaves]

@bekkybunny98  originally it is a irish girls name and it means hope in gaelic

[bekkybunny98]

@hokageofleaves cool! i never knew that ^_^ hehe

[Valmur]

Shivers... One of the most beautiful music pieces ever made.

[iliveinthetwilight]

Saddest moment in game history.

[Faraway473]

Still shiver when I hear this song.

[cocoapuffpanda]

Where's a "love" button when you really need one????? <3

[Ninjadelusion]

I am looking for a high res shot without the credits to what displays at 47 seconds. Can anyone help me with this? The images I find of this are usually poor quality. Id like to make a wall-paper.

[vettafaene]

I'll never forget about this game.. It taught me a valuable lesson: to discover the world with my own eyes and meet new people. I am now 24 and have been in Sweden, Germany, Austria and Italy. Next year I'm going to the Philippines to marry the love of my life. Anyone who can guess her name?

[XZachFairX]

Slowly learning to play this on the piano. Every time I play the first three notes, I tear up. So beautiful :')

[shuyin516]

I lost my Grandmother Last 2 weeks ago to cancer every time i hear this i cry but i can also feel her Emotions in it saying im pain free plz dont worry i will see u when you journry in life calls you home.. :'( love and miss you grandma.. R,I,P Sandra Hulbert

[lonephoenix08]

@shuyin516 Rest In Peace...and I pray that everything will be okay for you...Thanks for sharing your story...Have a blessed winter break and year with many more to come! ^v^<3^w^

[shuyin516]

@lonephoenix08 Thank you..Good to see theres still people with Hearts in the world :)

[FloBotsInc]

this song makes me sad :( lol

[RandomDetritus]

All you trolls should watch this. watch?v=Eac4VX4Nq3M

[jman279]

@RandomDetritus bahaha

[resolvexc]

@RandomDetritus youre a fucking retard

[enchiladaz90]

@resolvexc I concur.

[prinny714]

I really love this song, but at the same time.. it makes me so sad :(.... I played through FF7 when I was 10 years old and I legitimately put down my controller and just cried when she died

[lilamma1]

@prinny714 music helps to capture a moment, and this song captures that moment so well. was the same for me also though.

[ttiiddaakk]

1. pause it.

2. open "/watch?v=JY3-6woAcEU" in new tab.

3. play it together.

4. enjoy.. :)

[AbsoluteClarity880]

The first time I ever played FF7 I was 7 years old, I am now 21 and I still whistle all these tunes on a daily basis. I love this story with a passion.

[24NejiHyuga]

her smile has always cheered me up.

but to see her die, felt like losing a family member

she has always been my favorite final fantasy character :)

[PrincesseSiana]

Cette musique est tous simplement magnifique ..Les larmes me montent aux yeux ....

[dandanwii]

It's a shame they used almost the same song of Aria de mezzo caratterre from FF 6.

[rafaelterentin]

This is so pretty and so sad at the same time...

[redrock426]

so pretty



[iPoopRainbowsBytch]

No one will ever forget this game, and how it impacted us all.

[FreedomEagles100]

Nobuo wanted to give a message with this masterpiece. And for me, the message is to stay kid, keep your real childwood's dream in your heart. That's what Aerith would probably like to say to all of us and that's what my older brother said to me before dying on his hospital bed.

[captivesparrow]

Aerith inspired me to be who I am today. I even have my own garden. Her story inspired me and when I hear this, I cry. No fictional character has ever impacted me quite as much as she did.

[MisterGifu]

*sobs hysterically*

[coaxhox]

true, Aerith changes alot in the story line of Final Fantasy from Crisis to Advent :( how i wish she haven't died.

[TtotheC99]

god i cried like a little girl when that materia bounced down the steps

[ryuoif122]

We treasure you Aerith , rest peacefully with Zack.

[LagunaWSU2]

@ryuoif122

Zack and Aerith didn't die! They just went home!

[maxcloud18]

The sad part is, they will never make along game like this again. Our memories should be enough to remaster this game. Please hear our cries, remaster this game, we beg you.

[QwarterZ1]

I swear the beginning of Kids by Childish Gambino sounds exactly like this theme

I'm gonna miss being a kid and staying home and missing out on the world

to realize theres emotions inside of me that may seperate me from others based off this game

starting in such a polluted place..then traveling the world, experiencing newer things

making new friends, thats what this game was about, teaching us to make change

not only in the game....but as ourselves

[lindaforssen]

im in love with this song

[animewatcher76]

Ah 1997. I was 20, life was easy and games were great. 

[satayay1]

I can't describe how much I wanted to kill Sephiroth after he kills Aeris...

:(

So sad...

[Tadsapon]

@satayay1 me too T^T

[asifff]

#Will_never_forgive_Sephiroth

[MZChyeahBoii]

fu*k you Sephiroth

[TinyGurl90]

i really like this a lot!

[angeltheya12]

uematsu's favorite piece . . . . yeah its truly wonderful

[DementedHoundour]

Not crying to this is impossible. ;_;

[lucieebabeyy]

I'm in top 2% intelligence.... But I am still too young to vote;)

[physcokilerrr]

Aeris, you will always be remembered as the most kind and compassionate final fantasy character ever, with your pure heart and loving kindness, you were truly great.

may you never fade away, as with Zak you brave fellow

[nicktaxidermy]

I once fell in love with a girl because she reminded me of Aeris. sigh, tragedy.

[mrbloodshugar]

@nicktaxidermy ahhhw

[XDlolzilla]

but but

why is it only showing my views and my likes??

I thought other people watched this too...

xD

[spaz102]

Be they real or fictional, some stories become a part of our lives, and shape who we are. Sometimes it's a song or character, sometimes it's a memorable line that resonates with that part of us which was brought out, and reminds us of the lessons we learned.

"Always remember the good, and the true" ~ FF1 ending credits

[mrbloodshugar]

@spaz102 Hands down for you , your comment was amazing

[TavisGrim]

62 people are Sephiroth's, Kadaj's, Yazoo's, and Loz'. while 4118 people are Cloud's, and 1 person Aeris. because it would be too heart breaking to see her die again.

[animeheroguy]

:'''''( aeris... even though you are from a video game, rest in peace you sweet angel

[NCSPr0ductions]

I remember watching Aeris die. It was so heart-breaking during the time. I was probably around 11-12. Though, the game came out I was probably 3, so it took time for me to actually get into an RPG like this. FF7 became one of my favorite games of all time, and Aeris's death made it such a turn around in the game. Till to this day, Aeris's death is a depressing death of video game history. I don't think anyone will ever forget the memories of when they were a kid/teenager and watching her die.<3

[aultinbarltino]

the true meaning of happiness in tears. so beautiful. way better with the rain sound.

[aultinbarltino]

personally, i can't tell if i'm crying or not.

[EPIGNTCS]

Final Fantasy 7 came out when I was in high school...I remember crying when she died :(

[GroundmanEXE]

When she died in the game, i cried for 10min without stop.....................

So nice girl

[maybealover]

some things just can't be imitated

[DeathAngelSuki]

excuse my language but this is fucking awesome

[Blessedlol1337]

We will probally never feel the same, amazing, inspired & wonderful feelings and emotions like we did as kids.

We will probally never will be that fascinated & surprised of the situations which are pretty awesome from Final Fantasy 7.

But i swear. We will ALWAYS remember back when we was kids. And felt it the 1st Time.

This amazing memory will never die.

[XzTaR]

impossible to not cry...to many things that come to mind when this music hits you

[monkey0in0a0cage]

When we played FInal Fantasy VII as kids ...

...we wished to be as strong as Barret

... as compassionate as Tifa

... as brave as Cloud

... and as pure in heart as Aeris

Now we have grown up ... we stopped being those kids, but we never forgot the characters we looked up to. May those memories never fade...

[roeyjevels]

@monkey0in0a0cage I wanted to be as batcrap crazy as Cait Sith. Just kidding. I actually wanted to be Vincent Valentine. If I wasn't a fat neckbeard, I'd dress up as him for halloween.

[JAGTHEGEMINI]

@monkey0in0a0cage

Why is it that in realitiy, such outstanding adventures with great people like those in FFVII does not exist...

A man can dream... Right?

[Bump1ngrind]

@monkey0in0a0cage Thank you for this.. it's all true...

[tony8pizza]

@monkey0in0a0cage what a truely amazing comment!

[Crash0460]

@monkey0in0a0cage So incredibly well said, Thank you for that.

[jswygard1]

@monkey0in0a0cage

Well said sir, this indeed was one of those games you'll deffinitly never forget playing, the sound-tracks, the story, the characters....all built up to be (in my opinion) still one of the best games of all time. I can even recall the first time i saw a friend playing it too the last time i beat the game, FF7>ALL.

[internaugmentalist]

@jswygard1 I agree.



[fabriziojiki]

@monkey0in0a0cage you are so right. So right.

[Mindorias]

@monkey0in0a0cage so fucking true ...

[angryaznman]

@monkey0in0a0cage wtf....that was gay as hell

[UdouAkira1028]

@angryaznman Not really.Its true.

[Crockinator07]

@angryaznman Agreed.

[foolycoolycool]

@angryaznman

Sucks for you, cause it takes a true man to express feelings like that. You have proven you are gayer than liberachi at the playboy mansion. Congrats, Angryaznman.

[angryaznman]

@foolycoolycool AHAHAHA that was even more gay

[foolycoolycool]

@angryaznman

That's not what your mom said last night.

[angryaznman]

@foolycoolycool ROFL you say gayer and gayer things. you must be a serious loser in real life.

[jayheros]

@monkey0in0a0cage dude that hits right to the heart im 24 and i never want those memories to fade:={

[mrbloodshugar]

@monkey0in0a0cage I'm 14 and i still want to be like cloud

And i wanna marry someone as aerith

[LagunaWSU2]

@monkey0in0a0cage

But I always wanted to be as beautiful as Cait Sith!

[azimuth457]

@monkey0in0a0cage As mysterious and cool as Vincent, as smart as Nanaki, as handy as Cid, as mischievous as Yuffie, and as back-stabbing as Cait Sith.

Just kidding about the last one.

[Matomiii]

@monkey0in0a0cage jeez, it's just a game

[monkey0in0a0cage]

@Matomiii yeah well it meant a lot more to a lot of us ... I played it when I was quite young and FF7 offered me a world so different from ours, both serious and magical at once but beautiful I couldn't help but wish it were real. FF7 was the pool we leaped in daily, its story the water we soaked in ... and the lessons. My god I learned more about life from FF7 than any other source around me back then. You know it's more than a game when you gain wisdom through it...

[CommercialAtrophy]

How good is the heart of a woman that sells a flower to you? I would wish her in every dream... keep him good

Aeris

[TheAdriannirvana]

Is beautiful the Soundtrack

[PrincessPlague]

I turn into a blubbering mess every time I hear this song. No other musical score ever managed to do that to me. It's so gosh darn beautiful. ='(

[hoho12789]

sucka my peepee cloud. 8===D

[MasterTeem]

When I was 6 years old, this game made me bawl my eyes out.

I'm 20 years old now... and I still cry listening to it.

[LittleMissSpunky]

I love this song so much that i learnt how to play it on the guitar . .. .so beautiful

[DNAshurii]

one of the most stunning composed pieces of music I've ever heard. I love it so much it makes me want to cry! :') <3

[BashleySparks]

Wow.....62 people must be dead inside because this is beautiful: fact!

[CommercialAtrophy]

is there a way to keep sephiroth from killing aeris??...

[XDlolzilla]

Why does it only show my views and my likes???

[24NejiHyuga]

dont cry. . dont cry. . .

[bellahorse151]

@24NejiHyuga omg ditto.. :( T.T Zack's death was the worst i have ever seen...and knowing that someone like Aeirth that was soo sweet died is anotehr heart breaker :(

[24NejiHyuga]

@bellahorse151 exactly!

[bellahorse151]

@24NejiHyuga yay someone else that understands me! And also another thing...when you hear this song..it feels like Aerith's right in the church, nursing her flowers, even if your in the most crowded place in the world! im this song could easily break you into a few tears, and the through the whole song, well mostly in the begining, you start to thinking that you wish she had a longer life....or something like that...
