It was great how they kept the song playing while you were fighting jenova, the sadness and confusion as you get thrown into the fight. I remember just wanting to slash her out of the way to get to Aeries. The sound of the spells charging. It was great.

[@lexaurelio2446]

Same. I was in complete denial the entire time the scene played up until the sword made contact. I was just staring dumbfounded at my screen. Not a big of Sephiroth after that.

[@holitinne]

SE: “Don’t worry, Aerith won’t be killed by Sephiroth this time.” Fans: “Yay!” Sephiroth: *turns Aerith into a Jenova monster.” SE: *”YOU* do it.” Fans: 😱

[@DEADication86]

Bringing Zack back to life was already a "what a twist" ending, but that in itself is giving us hope that Aerith may be saved from death. It would be the most devious twist in what they're already doing to the story if they lured you in with the notion that if you can change fate, perhaps you can save her too. But making her the final boss as a Jenova rather than JENOVA-LIFE showing up unexpectedly...it would be even more impactful to have that same sad melody playing. Damn, I actually want this to happen now.

[@holitinne]

@@DEADication86 I have this theory that ancient Jenova infected is related to Aerith, like her ancestor or something.

I would be ***1,000,000,000½%*** on board with that twist of Square Enix had the balls to do pull that stunt. Like, as if the original scene weren't bad enough.

[@holitinne]

@@PatrickCervantez if their intent is to relive the emotions players got when they played FFVII, her death is necessary. Or they could let her live and kill Tifa (hopeful the fans’ outrage will set their headquarters on fire and collect the insurance) but killing Tifa wouldn’t make sense (with Aerith it did since she could communicate with the planet) and is more intune to subvert for the sake of subvertion.

[@jroberts2nd]

The guide book I used for the game back then, towards the end of the book, actually spoiled that Aerith died indirectly. So I knew after a few hours in that it was going to happen. I still cried like a baby and was depressed for the next few hours. Magnificent work by Square.

[@Akkumako]

You can never be ready for this to happen. But it needs to.

[@RicardoCon94]

A friend got the game and guidebook when the game first came out and the same thing happened. He didn't cared about Aerith the whole time because he looked too deep into the guide book accidentally spoiling it for himself. The remake to my surprise changed that though. I didn't believed him when he told me he cares about her now.

[@raetekusu1]

"Anger of the Land" was such a fitting attack to begin a battle with after the death of "Aerith".

[@Seiyol]

I'm playing FF7 for the first time, and even though I knew Aerith was gonna die, this whole part completely wrecked me. I was bawling like a baby and I can't imagine how I would have taken it when I was younger and/or playing it completely blind. Can't be understated how smart it was to keep the music going during the Jenova fight.

[@Akkumako]

Nomura's idea. What a twisted mind he has. :P but that's part of why I love this game so much

[@jasonbradley7516]

I played the original game when it came out in 1997 I was 19 years old at the time I had no idea this was going to happen when I was playing and it caught me so offguard I was in shock when I saw her die I thought for sure especially with their relationship growing stronger and after the date he had had with her in the gondola I thought for sure they were going to have a love story that would last for the entire game this just completely ripped my heart out when I saw it I finished playing the game but for some reason I felt lost through the rest of the game even though the rest of the game we’re still good it’s somewhat had an empty feeling for me that I still feel to this day whenever I play the game that something just was taken away from the rest of the game once she dies God I am hoping that with this new timeline in the remake there may be a way to save her because I don’t know if I could take that again let me stop now because I am getting emotional all over again😢

[@halotubb1110]

I loved how they executed the post jenovah fight sequence. Aeris is dead. Everyone is sad. Not one word is said. Cloud just puts her to rest in the post. No stupid expository dialog. Very well done.

The more I watched those scenes from the OG the more "masterpiece" comes to my mind

[@stuntbounce]

What kinda place were they at ? And why is he putting her in that little pond ?

[@cloudshines812]

The best part is that every character has a different reaction to Aerith’s death: Barret pats Cloud’s back to comfort his loss Tifa brushes Aerith’s face and cries Red XIII howls out in sadness Cait Sith dances in hopes of cheering Cloud up (doesn’t work) Cid looks up to the sky as if asking “why her” Vincent looks at both Cloud and Aerith blankly Yuffie cries in Cloud’s arm

@@CloudStrife777FF They haven't said that in that interview.

[@YaBoiJeffe]

Somebody post this to remake Reddit and title it " just finished rebirth and I'm in tears". Maybe just a screenshot of cloud saying his fingers are numb. Can't wait for the upvotes

[@Anonymous-73]

This was the point everyone got shot through the feels

[@azazel166]

In the end, this was Sephiroth's greatest mistake. Not only he failed to stop her from casting Holy, he also gave the planet a powerful guardian that will watch over it until the end of time. Not to mention further hardening the party's resolve to go after him.

[@CDJaramillo92]

Actually it was Jenova, in the OG the real Sephiroth is the one you found in the Northern Crater.

[@islandboy9381]

@@CDJaramillo92 It was Jenova controlled by Sephiroth's WILL, the developers answered this clearly.

[@TheGlitchyMario]

I love how Sephiroth has more polygons in his hair than every other character models full body.

[@ismaeltevenal7492]

This scene always get the better of me. It did all those years ago and it still continues to do so. Each time I need to set afoot my emotions for one way or another I just search for this.😢😢😭😭

[@tastypotato9272]

3:16 I can't be the only one who times the music like this on every playthrough... right?

[@specterkev]

Who else cried like a baby when her material hit the ground and the music started playing back then

[@BokoAnimatesAndPlays]

My mind is blown everytime I hear Aerith's theme instead of Jenova's theme during the battle

[@Marv1089]

I knew Aeris was going to die, but I always thought she’d give her life just casting Holy to stop Sephiroth. I didn’t know that’s what she was doing here, nor did I ever expect Sephiroth to swoop in and down her. It was at that point, seeing Sephiroth’s sick smile as she guts Aeris, the innocent, sweet flower girl from the slums that I grew close to, that I loathed Sephiroth with all of my being. During the jenova fight, I didn’t give a shit about conserving mana, or strategies, or anything. I was recklessly throwing my strongest spells and attacks at Jenova in a blind rage induced by my emotions. Cloud even fainted twice during the battle. I played FF7 for the first time just today, and even as a 32 year old, I still was in shock and later fury at Sephiroth during the Jenova battle. I can safely say that no other game has made me feel this way.

[@supersaiyanzero386]

They give you the water ring so you don't lose the fight while you're blinded by tears.

[@UlalaFL0W]

I find it fitting that Cloud had the dealing blow here, as I've always done in my playthroughs. Makes it feel so much more personal.

[@derricklewis8448]

This will be even more devastating in the remake. 😢

[@supermariojack2091]

yeah especially cloud crying after saying what is this pain?!

[@vinimrogato7690]

Every single time I rewatch this scene i think that i'm not ready to see this on remake.

Vincent: He could've used Phoenix Down Red 13: I was about to say that.

Kevin Silva I read that in the abridged voices.

[@deanokhalik173]

Oh this hit the feelings really hard playing this as kid in the early 2000s altgough it was brought for my older brothers birthday in 1997. I remember running to my room first time because I saw this scene as I didn't want anyone to see tears in my eyes. 😂. Fun fact. I completed ALL 3 discs at the age of 10 in 2001. Then did it twice more in the following years. This was pre Internet days as we know today. Oh the good old days 😢 ❤🤍

[@leviathanlives4847]

Awesome upload, hit me right in my pre-teen feels... but I have to say man, your fight with Jenova was painful (that Cure 2 you dropped after Red XIII got KOd was brutal)

[@supermariojack2091]

I bet in the remake everyone will be there to say there goodbyes to Aerith

[@drDEVILOCK]

when i play or watch this i always cry with the remake im gonna cry harder u.u

i've just finished rewatching crisis core and the ending of acc, then came here. why am i hurting myself?

[@La-hora-del-terror]

Jenhova life... the Squaresoft employers has a weird sense of humor XD

[@JamesVigue]

For me, I knew she was really dead and there was nothing I could do the moment I realized the music was still playing during the boss fight.

[@alster724]

Just imagine if you put the other ladies (Yuffie and Tifa) in your party, it will be very sad to see them cry.

[@Cat.Gaming]

Cloud: About to smite Aerith Nanaki: Please stop that!

[@finalseko]

If you have Cid in the party, he curses at Cloud

Rest in peace for the flower girl

We all gonna see aerith's death in HD

Maybe yes, maybe no.

Daz Ediss I think cloud will die and Zack will take over for the rest of the game. Then come back in the end somehow

[@derricklewis8448]

Daz Ediss lol oh man that would be insane.

[@JoaoVictor-rg9ck]

@@ademon4908 Nope nope nope nope. Expecting Cloud, practically the face of the franchise, to die is bordering on delusion.

[@Aomegeus]

@Daz Ediss he will try to save her, but she will accept her death to save the planet.
