I think the worst part is, she doesn't even get any last words or prominent scene before this. she just...dies. Gone before Cloud even caught her. A character's death usually has some sort of goodbye to it, but this was just quick an sudden. no one expected this in the least.

For me, this whole scene is one of the saddest momments in videogame history. - Aerith was a good person, she never harm anyone and even living a hard life, she still remains with a good heart. - When she leaves Cloud to summon the Meteor, she knew she was going to die, she knew that was her last momment with Cloud, at least in the material world. - And even knowing about that, she sacrifices herself to save the world. - Even in her last momments she looks at Cloud and smiles, because even if she knew what is going to happen, Cloud was still there for her. - And then... Sephiroth killed her with a cold heart and still smiles to see Aerith dying. - That was so cruel and evil, it was one of the momments that I knew that Sephiroth needs to be stopped. And after seeing Aerith death, we still have to fight with a boss with her theme in the background. - It was one of the saddest fight bosses that I've ever seen. - But the good thing in all of this is that Aerith is powerful even after her death, and she is always watching over her friends. #FinalFantasy7

Rebirth tripped so hard at the finish line, just like Remake. I think the creators got way too obsessed with making everything "bigger and better." Did we really need Sephiroth to appear so much? And the way they presented Rebirth's ending appealed to no one, as the ending had none of the emotional impact of the OG. The fans that were interested in the "changing destiny aspect" also gets blue balled by Aerith dying anyways, just in a far inferior way to the original.

Needless to say when she dies and that song started playing, I lost my shit. This terrible dread feeling enveloped me, I was depressed for at least a few weeks. It's funny thinking about how attached I was to a damn video game character. Pretty embarrassing, but true.

I loved the game overall but the bringing Zack back fan service and weird ambiguity over Aeriths death are big L's. Cheapens both their characters as well as Cloud's arc by having them stick around, even If it's just as a "lifestream ghost" or "whisper" or from some parallel timeline. Their deaths are fundamental to the story and Cloud's development, especially in Advent Children. What are they gonna just retcon a canon feature length film now? "Oh why are you depressed Cloud? You don't need to feel guilty about their deaths when you can just have a Mako- Zoom call with them anytime"

Because they set up this weird multi universe crap with Zack and the end of the first game and I saw it coming a mile away. They missed the mark so badly with this attempt at fan service. The fans love Aerith but fundamentally changing the plot like this is stupid. If they wanted to keep her around they could have her stick around as a lifestream projection like a Star Wars force ghost, which is kinda what it seems they're doing (Cloud thinks she's alive but she's just talking to him through the lifestream) but even then, it just ruins such a key moment in the story that is so important to the overall plot and the protagonists character arc.

My take on the scene starting at 3:28: The way that the camera angle is set up implies that you, as the viewer, are some kind of omnipresent force watching the events unfold. You, like the characters, are basically helpless and can only watch. Even though you can see all the reactions from all the characters, there's no dialogue (not just voices, text) to be seen/heard. This shows the emotional disconnect (and sort of irony) between the characters and the player; you can see everything happening and how all the characters react (and you are the ones that control them), but you cant perfectly see their emotions. Rather, you can only see how they choose to express how they feel about Aeris. Tifa and Yuffie are incredibly distraught, looking for comfort in Cloud/running away; Barret and Cid, the more "tough" characters, act less emotional, but still show it; Cid is distraught and leaves (he's already been destroyed by his dream of going into space being shut down, so he doesn't have much emotion left), and Barret braces Cloud, as if he's saying that he knows the struggle he's going through (as he's been there before too). At first glance Vincent seems like he doesn't care, but he does something important; he looks at Aeris, then looks at Cloud, as if he is trying to show that even though he looks cold, he's been in the same position before. The music is the icing on the cake; as the only form of sound in the whole scene, it does a job of reminding you how important Aeris is/was to them and fills in the 'gap' that words could not fill. It's a really beautiful scene, and if there's ONE scene I want to be remade exactly shot-for-shot, it's this one. Also love how the guy was playing on an old CRT tv; gives it that "old antique" feel that couldn't be replicated with the Steam version or something.

I can't wait to see this in the remake. Here we see that Aerith dies instantly and without an expression, but i assume that this will change now that you got more expressions and details in the characters as the trailer showed. What will be Aerith's final expression? Will she scream? Will she remain calm? How much pain will she suffer? Will she say something to Cloud befores she dies? If she screams it will be devastating, if she shows pain it will be terrible for me (i know). She may even show a last smile for Cloud, making it sadder for me. Now i understand why Cloud can't forgive himself after seeing her dies in front of him.

Sephiroth, controlling Jenova in his form, made the Calamity stab the Ancient... She, fond of how much of a maniac he came to be, favored him and his will to kill all on the Planet. Not much of a Plot twist by your reasoning but rather more development of how powerful Sephiroth really was... after all, he almost made Cloud kill Aerith... he was still snoozing in the North Crater too... to be asleep and control a powerful entity like Jenova... is boss.

It wasn't Jenova. It was one of Sephiroth's clones. Jenova is dead. She's been dead for 2000 years. All that is left is her body and cells, which Sephiroth takes control of. When he took off after killing Aerith, he left another piece of her body just as he did on the boat and both times in the crater.

Distorted Dragon Yup, the lifestream gave him that much power. It was never shown, but I believe he was not trying to eat the planet's lifestream, but fuse with it/become it, which was his angel form. In advent children, he said he didn't only want to create calamity, but to take possession of the planet's lifestream and use it to travel the universe to create life and death themselves on all worlds. And they say Kefka was a god :p. Lol Kefka sure didn't devour and take over the planet's life force lols becoming like a whole planet himself. Of topic, I just know they're going to make a sequel encompassing the five hundred year timeskip, and the characters in it will probably be the reincarnations of the characters.

I encountered this part in the game today with my parents being with me. I can't stop thinking about it. It's almost 5 am and my phone is 14% battery right now. When I saw this scene, I screamed: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" I felt my heart break into a million pieces and felt like it was beating super fast at the same time. My breathing got heavy. I said all the lines out loud showing a little bit of my emotions. Then, I started yelling out loud: "SEPHIROTH, HOW COULD YOU?! HOW COULD YOU????!!!!!" I tried to hold all the crying in, but towards the end of my battle with Jenova Life, I couldn't hold it in and I broke out into tears because it just got too hard. Why is this so hard to let go of and move on from? It's just a video game. Yet, I can't believe that something like this would happen. I'm going to miss spending time with her in the game, especially since in my game, Cloud was Aerith's love and everything I did with her in the remake. Everything's going to be so different now, especially the battle with Sephiroth. I'm trying to calm myself down a little by letting out all my emotions. I miss her so much. I'll try and describe how I feel as I'm writing this. I feel- 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
