Astro Dude Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 I have an idea, hopefully you all can hear me out on this: I had played a game called Eternal Sonata. In that game, one of it's characters, Claves, was killed by an assassin and as a result, would never be seen again, until near the end of the game where the party goes on a lengthy sidequest in a difficult labyrinth. The goal, Claves is alive in this labyrinth and can accompany the party while in it until they gather the seven pieces of her soul. After which, she is whole and can rejoin the party permanently, since she is resurrected. I know there were a lot of fans of FF VII and Aerith who were shattered, heartbroken, destroyed, seeing her killed, and never to be used again. My question is, would it appease you if somehow, like Claves, Aerith should be resurrected and can be a permanent party member in the Final Fantasy VII Remake?

Just Crouton Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 A post-game sidequest, maybe. Her coming back in-story invalidates Advent Children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Amazing Avian Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Nice spoilers bro. Anyway, no. her coming back would invalidate the sequels and on top of that, her death is pretty freaking crucial to Cloud's development, just like Zack's death.

Tentacruel Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 That would ruin the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 It was kinda a big deal and I know there were a lot of fans of FF VII and Aerith who were shattered, heartbroken, destroyed, seeing her killed, and never to be used again.This is the main reason I'd say no.

mitchermitcher Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 If it's some post-game side quest that allows her spirit to make an appearance or something, sure. As a party member? No. Would ruin the point of her dying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 You can't have Aerith live, it just ruins so many things both in and out of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Am I really using my 20,000th post on this?*Sees poll results at the time posting, then looks to TC* This looks very familiar... OT: I agree with everyone else here. No, it'd ruin the point of her dying in the first place. Nice spoilers bro.Ikr, although this is Astro we're talking about.

Astro Dude Posted September 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 How else would you explain her coming back and being in Kingdom Hearts? Also, I don't mean as a main story thing, more like a post-game thing, and to see how Aerith would fair in repeat battles of the Final Boss.

mitchermitcher Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Kingdom Hearts isn't canon to FF7's story. The pain of losing a party member and never being able to use her again is quite real and can't be accomplished with just having her die in the story and being able to re-unlock her later. It's not just a story thing, but a gameplay thing. As a developer, sometimes you DO want to give the players that option(like in Disgaea games) but most people do not play FF7 to mess around with the stats and mechanics all that much. I see little to no merit in allowing players to somehow be able to get Aerith to rejoin the party when the opposite just cements in the emotional blow the game gives you.

Astro Dude Posted September 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Why am I the only one who wants to see Aerith resurrected? Very well, how's this... wait, was there a cloning factory in the main story? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Why am I the only one who wants to see Aerith resurrected?Because the rest of us care about the series continuity.Though this is turning out EXACTLY like a certain other poll Very well, how's this... wait, was there a cloning factory in the main story?Not that I can remember, but if I think I know what you're implying here, that'd be even more stupid. (Also it'd be a cop out)I do remember there being *insert important character* clones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andx Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 How else would you explain her coming back and being in Kingdom Hearts? I stopped taking the thread seriously here. But as has been said Aerith's death is a central plot point and a springboard for Cloud's character development to really start going. Her death helps the player and the party to feel the true weight of the events that follow. Bringing back Aerith would make all of that emotional experience sort of meaningless. I wouldn't mind if they felt they just had to do bits of what Advent Children did with Cloud tripping out and seeing glimpses of her in the life stream but anything beyond that would be going too far for me. As for your cloning idea there was no specific facility you went and visited for it but a certain important figure in the story has dozens of clones of himself running around all game. But said figure is the only one shown in the actual game of FF7 and not all the side stuff to have remained an individual and been able to exert influence in the real world while being part of the lifestream.

J-Max Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 I am playing through the PS3 version of Eternal Sonata at the moment..... Thanks for the Spoilers <_< On topic though, being able to bring Aeris back would dilute the moment too much. I prefer the touching Fan theories out there as well.

How about you think about the other game he talked about that not everyone has actually played? Eternal Sonata is still not as widespread a game. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
