Didn't level her first playthrough and ended up under leveled carrying dead weight for the boss fight at the temple of ancients
FizzleBurger
Pfft, clearly this pleb needs to learn to mod.
Mouseover: "It's bad enough that all the families in your Sims are just you and Maggie recreated over and over."
RedDragon732
Don't give Fiora from Xenoblade your best gear too. I've done this lol
rbudrick
Wait whaddayya mean? Aeris dies? Naw, yer kidding, right? Right?
Keslyn
I never liked her character, I was actually pretty happy when that all went down.
Monistat7
She took all of my cure materia
CornwindEvil
At least Galuf had the decency to pass all the effort spent on him to his granddaughter.
gta19941
I'm mean, she is still around for a long time before the cave. I feel like it's still worth it to level her, just remember to take her gear
dtallen243
Cloud drowned her
Manusho
Nah, you need her to get through the Temple of the Ancients which has some of the harder bosses in the main game.
Hurro
Fuck you man. That STILL chaps me. I was playing on my buddies system when I could so it took me like 7-8 months to get to that part.
petresun
How horrible.
DingleBerryJane
love that level 4 limit break tho
ShiftyBat
I used a cheat to get to stay on your team after death, kept her on till the end and laughed at Emerald Weapon when his attacks did nothing.
somebodythatyouusetoknow
Also don't upgrade her weapon and armor. God I was pissed.
Zerosixk
But If you grind to get her LV4 Limit Break. Then you'll have an OP Cloud for the rest of the game!
Markamanic
Started playing Remake again now it's on PC.
ThatTransformersDude
So had a buddy who every time he played any RPG he HAD to rename every character as loved ones and friends, so he of course names >
Cloud and Aerith after himself and his girlfriend and then she got to watch the stabbing and suddenly he needs to continue to story with >
Tifa named after the gf's little sister. Fun times
definitelynotafae
So much time spent trying to revive her after crying.
NotAnInformantForTheNSA
I remember being pissed having equipping her with that special necklace that you can only get from one part of the game.
Vilgashem
I wonder whether they’ll keep her alive in Remake. On one hand, it was such an iconic moment. On the other, Zack is alive…
BakaPhoenix
Outdated info, she won't die in the remake, from what square Enix said
InspiringBadger
Light, I love seeing her die.
therenee
So maybe I'm not the only one who found like half the characters to be insufferable drama queens with no sense of humor?
Oh I love the characters. I just hated Aerith with the intensity of a teenager with a crush on Cloud.
ChaosPersonified
Boy that "love triangle" plot died off real quick, didn't it?
MelodyLightfoot
it was like a giant knife in the heart.
Duraxis
Tifa is the only real choice anyway, C’mon, be honest
Boredashell
I still always take her on the ride.
It only dies as quickly as it takes you to get to the end of disc 1 really
Einstein9073
Two. Disc 1 ends when you leave midgar
Even better then, she stays alive a little longer
She's also the only character who has the level 4 limit break available on disc 2. You should get it for reasons
Vungor
I prefer a love triangle to a rejection rhombus
ThaWhiteRanger
The first disc
kevbot5000
My copy had a glitch that I couldn't get past right before the end of it. Never got to that moment, not sure I ever will.
jawsoshuell
It died for me once I figured out the whole Zack-Cloud thing. It cast a new light on CloudxAerith, no longer seems like honest feelings.
Monkeyfighter
This hurt cause I just realized the reason my ex got with me is cause I reminded her of her ex before me (who I knew through others).
Man, I'm sorry. I had a similar experience, though her ex was an old friend of mine, and she herself was an even older friend of mine.
SumptuousMeat
finally, this guy gets it. Aerith never really loved Cloud, just is mimic of Zack drew her in.
chasingatrailofsmokeandreason
Dude, Barret survives. What are you taking about?
BigDaddysMeatWagon
Haha yes.
Best. Gondola Ride. Ever.
Crowlands
I'm always partial to the Yuffie one. So awkward, in its own way. And the classic dad joke "Well, say something!" "... Something."
N0tDave
Like a big cuddly marshmallow. I look forwards to seeing that scene in the remakes.
asianmilkspray
The love triangle: Barret - Red - Cid.
Warune
What does Cid have to with barest and his talking dog best friend?
Narokh
AVALANCHE TIME!
CraigAnopolis
Spoilers
Lazarillo
I mean, is it really? There are a lot of ways that could be interpreted.
justfillingthespace
The game is over two decades old.
aznanimality
I think you mean 5 years old......fuck I'm old
Maybe in the new version she won't die. Or maybe Square Enix will rip our hearts out through our assholes again. Who knows.
Nykidemus
I have no faith that square is not going to ruin the plot. They've already basically burned everyone who loved the original in effigy.
IncongruousEquilateralNonscalarPoint
The entire first episode was a build up to "okay, we kind of did the original thing, now it's time to get creative"
It's akin to people asking for a re-recording of a classic song with new hardware, and at the end the band whips out a tuba for no reason.
https://pics.me.me/its-going-to-get-weird-make-this-weird-34026677.png
Hashbrown123
They make possessed Cloud do it in the crater.
oh. Oh that would be FUCKING brutal
I mean, considering the ending and the twist in the FF7 Remake, I'm still gonna be hopeful. And Squeenix' gonna squash that hope hard.
Khargath
It's definitely looking like she is gonna survive the "remake"
UserMCP
Yes. It's always too soon. (I found myself humming her theme the other day, and when I realized what it was, my eyes teared up a little.)
BlackBolt84
PastorOfMuppetz5
Downtake
I hate it when people take that scene out of context to use as an example of bad voice acting
CrestKnight
thats not even the most memorable line. i bet you can still hear this.... "ride ze shoopuf?"
LaughingTidus
Nice to see my username in action
MyOldUserNameMeantUndeadCocaineButNowItsThis
I love that FF until the lightning dodging. I could never get past 93. Fuck that game.
Shears187
Recently did this... I hated my life for 3 hours. But it's.. done now. Godspeed if you go again.
TheRelevancyOfMyNameIsRelativelyIrrelevant
gave up on that right quick. i read about it, tried a few dodges, said fuck that and got everyone elses super weapons.
anthrolover6
Found that part easier than the blitzball stuff. And that shitty card game from 8
gaidinbdj
Triple Triad? Shitty? You shut your whore mouth!
nevergoingtogiveyouupnevergoingtoletyoudown
I used to have a stupidly broken strat in Blitzball. Just blitz the enemy and you win every time. Go figure.
potentiallyunsafe
The story match was tough but as soon as you signed a few contracts and got even a little good it got easy after that for a long time >>
Then it would suddenly get tough again
Rathan5
Blitz ball was easy, just bullrush Tidus forward and Jecht Shot until he runs out of stamina, then stall the clock
Yotarian
Aw man, I loved the card game. Wish there was a real version to play with people.
The ff14 free trial is basically unlimited and the game is in there as a side game you can play. Not sure how good it is I disliked it so.
lml193
There is a real version of Triple Triad. A few companies made them. https://www.etsy.com/listing/489011495/ffviii-triple-triad-full-card-set
That's so cool, thanks for the link!!
rvahnc
.
EverNotRelevant
Nah. Always gonna get her level 4 limit break.
VodkaReindeer
Did it once just to see what the limit breaks were after I knew she'd die.
RawrLouder
When we were kids my brother leveled her up to get her max limit break because he thought it would save her.
dontrike
There were a lot of theories back then, same with getting secret characters like a goblin and the guy that ran the tournament.
portraitsforfriends
Never heard of those. Wish I did
You don't. I spent hours looking for the secret Weapon boss that supposedly hid among random mountains and was invisible.
ilovebees
I tried *all* of the hoaxes to save her. :(
glacialbae
I just used a GameShark, but then it caused a softlock and I had already saved so I had to restart the game.
Kittynomnoms
It's interesting that if you gameshark her back in, she has dialogue for scenes she should never reach.
Kaseixjaa
isn't that because the creators originally wanted her to be revivable? thought i heard that before, but could be hearsay
How sad!
Awww. That's sad...
I remember hearing a kid at the lunch table say thats how it worked lol
BigFatUglyBugFaceBabyEatingOBrian
Man I kinda miss/loved those elementary school video game rumors
"There's no way you beat ruby weapon!!" Made copy of my save file on PS2 memory card to let kid borrow lol
JustBoone
Interesting how this may play out with the "remake" version seeing as how a bunch of spoilers stuff and spoilers.
i2ocker89
Yea the end of part 1 very clearly paints a picture that this is some kind of multiverse. Zack survives spoiler alert
Eh? Thought that was a memory segment. Refresh me.
I mean...if you want spoilers for the whole thing or just parts, say which.
I've beaten both games. I thought Zach was a memory, like usual. He's alive, eh?
Yeah "remake" ?
If by "remake" you mean "garbage fire."
https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/001/279/386/6aa.jpg
Granted the game was not a remake but I thought the first game was fun and pretty good story. Still Im nervous about 2 especially deepground
alcogod
Not really seeing as the "remake" is more of a sequel.
"Remake" as in the universe is being remade due to something that would be spoilers
INeverWaitForIt
I don't see why you're getting downvoted. It really is more of a sequel because of time travel shenanigans. A remake would imply it's the
same game with maybe some expanded bits (which, to be fair, there are), but between the space ghosts and the ending, it's strayed way past
remake. Didn't Aeris remember everything from the original at the end or something?
Having played the game three times so far, it's *possible* but it still sounds like a poor fan theory.
AntigravityHamster
I figured it's Square-Enix being tricksy with titles, as they love to do. It's not them remaking it, it's Sephiroth.
Yep, and she shared the memories with RED XIII. Downvotes are probably from those who didn't play the original and think this is the story.
Advent Children was a sequel brah. Remake really is a remake.
The ending of part 1 suggests otherwise.
rouzuki
Remake does a good job at expanding on some areas from the original and also brings in story from the other FF7 games like Crisis Core. -
- which I think a lot of people aren't realizing and thinking its brand new content.
Remake is a dickslap to everyone who loved the original.
InternetAnonymityplz
That's only true if they don't let you play the original a la War3 Reforged. I like VII, enjoying the remake so far, we can have both.
It's the opportunity cost. They teased for yeeeeears what many people though (from it being called remake) that it would be similar to FF7
KillTimeAndLife
Totallyscrewedinaustin
GameShark? Gotta be, at that part, right?
Since we don't see the character models, it might just be changing another character's name.
She dies at end of disk one. This has to happen before for map mobility to get to where she becomes a ghost jedi
Nubacus
Nope, this happened: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHn_TB03mD8 around 1:54
I think they're talking about the fact that Aeris is in the party list.
JakSandrow

Sageypie
You know what? I want a reverse isekai already. Give me the fantasy world super guy who gets offed and ends up some normal schmuck in our-
-world. Something like Devil is a Part Timer, but the hero has zero magic powers or special abilities at all, and just has to figure out-
-how to survive in our world. Pure comedy nonsense. Just let me have this already, it's time.

Isekai Ojisan isn't quite like this, but it's about a guy who returns from a 20 year long isekai adventure and is completely clueless irl.
