did YOU cry when Aeris died in FF VII?

[Jeans]

We've been trying to scare them to post well, but we just don't have your expertise.

[PretentiousYoungSuitors]

my fault, sorry

didnt know two days was dead by QC standards, and I dont have an excuse for the joke


</shame>

[Jackie Blue]

I will cry with joy when this thread dies.

C'mon, get some androgynous momma's boy with a sword in here DOUBLE TIME.

[TomorrowByStorm]

I like to keep things alive. Threads are always more interesting when they have gone that few hundred posts too long.

I was 10 the first time I played Final Fantasy Seven. I love "Seven" because it gave me my Love of reading, my love of RPG's, and is prolly to blame for my rediculously spikey hair. I've never understood the amount of buzz around it though. The good or the bad. It's a mediocre game, a 6 of 10 at best, and should be left to rest with the other classics. If I have to see another Final Fantasy 7 related game, move (Admitedly "Advent Children" did rock my socks), anime, manga, book, slash fic, I'll....well I don't know what I'll do, but it'll be violent...and bloody...and involve the first Sevenite who tells me how "Totally Awesome" said next media is. Let it go....seriously.

This being said, I cried like a baby, an angry, hungry baby when Aeris (If you call her Aerith I'ma come find you and shoot you in the foot) died. I liked her, she was cute...in a "Friends Spoiled Niave Slightly Younger Sister" kinda way. I wasn't too dissapointed though. I'd already used Fury to get everyone to their third tier second level limits, and I Level everyone in equal ammounts then use my dream team (Cloud, Tifa, Vincent) for any boss type battles, so her usefullness was long gone before she was. *shrug* I'm still kinda urked that cloud never got his chance to hit it. On the topic of a re-make....I have to ask why?...then admit that I would buy it just to see some more fully animated Tifa and Yuffie.

In completely unrelated news...........Mario RPG FTW Bitches.

I love [Final Fantasy] seven because it gave me my Love of reading

So very sigged

[TomorrowByStorm]

Hmmmmm, That prolly wasn't the best way to express that. *shrug* You'll have to forgive me if not reading Yeats and Hemingway at 10 years old makes me a Neanderthal on this board. Oops.

[Jeans]

Yes. Yes, it does.

Actually it's only decent because I took it out of context. Hell, I've learned nearly all my vocal English through World of Warcraft myself.

(edit because I fail at spellcheck)

[Stryc9Fuego]

I can see where he's coming from. Dungeons and Dragons gave me my love of math.

So what you're saying is you want me to hate you.

slash fic,

Isn't this usually the type of thing you need to go looking for to actually run into it? I mean I know it's the internet, but I think I do pretty fucking good not running into slash fic during my day.

[Alex C]

Yeah, I don't really buy the whole "I stumbled upon this..." drek these days thanks to the vast improvements in search engines. I don't think people who weren't online before '98 really properly appreciate how much easier it is to avoid getting mindraped by things since Google pwned the web portal model and really ushered in an age of competition amongst search engines.

[Jackie Blue]

I am proud to say that I've been on the Internet for 15 years and have STILL never seen Goatse or any of those other "trick you into looking at gross things" pictures.

And I have never "stumbled on" fanfiction, let alone slash.  Just admit you were looking for it.  We won't judge you.





(Yes we will.)

[Alex C]

I've never really had what I'd call a problem either, actually, although I think it partially depends on what you classify as offensive. I like anime and I've ran into the occasional porn ad or link to hentai sites from time to time looking for information on various titles that people have suggested, but I kind of consider that as coming with the territory rather than "accidental", and as more and more dedicated and varied sites came to pass it became a non-issue. But if you're the kind of person that's absolutely going to flip a tit over, well, a tit? That could be a bit of a problem.

[Jeans]

I am a raving hentai addict in denial.

[Alex C]

Sigged!

Oh... Wait. Crap.

[Dissy]

Do you mean:

I am a raving hentai addict in denial.

Sigged!

[Jeans]

Not half bad! you're catching on.

(although I think it's a bit silly to sig-quote me on something I never said in the first place. But hey, it's your sig)

[Storm Rider]

Technically you wrote it, just under somebody else's name. Just sayin'.

[camelpimp]

slash fic,

Isn't this usually the type of thing you need to go looking for to actually run into it? I mean I know it's the internet, but I think I do pretty fucking good not running into slash fic during my day.

You can't exactly "run into" slash fanfiction as in read the entire story accidentally, because that doesn't make sense. (Although I did once read part of a Xellos/Zel story, not realizing it was, ya know, porn. I stopped reading as soon as it got porny, by the way) You can run into the mention of it fairly easily, of course. Such as "I'm writing A/B fic." Particularly if your sister into slash, her friends are into slash, and her friends become your friends. Now that I'm older and wiser, the mention of someone writing slash fanfiction for, let's say, Yang/Tellah, just incites chuckles now. But when you're twelve, the idea that someone is masturbating to your still-in-the-process childhood effectively and neatly ends it.

[AsteriskEnye3]

Moving this conversation in a more wholesome direction...

I furiously started jerking off when Sephiroth plunged that blade into her spine and out her front. The dead look in her eyes.... yum.






Now that I've scandalized all the non-/b/tards who read this, I didn't cry when Aeris died, though I was profoundly shocked. Or rather, I would have been had I not had that moment spoiled for me about 150 times by my gamer friends. Who are all dead now.
I did tear up, however, at the very end of Advent Children, in her old church. Just thinking about it makes me choke up a little. I always rooted for a Tifa-Cloud bangin', but damn if I don't like naive-seeming but incredibly wise and sweet flower girls. Even if their hair resembles gigantic feelers.

[ForteBass]

Great. More of them.

[Jackie Blue]

Now that I've scandalized all the non-/b/tards who read this

You seem to be making the curious implication that you're proud to be a "/b/tard".

4chan is the reason God doesn't talk to us anymore.

[amok]

4chan is the reason God doesn't talk to us anymore.

4chan would be the only reasonable excuse, no offence to this forum, to delete the entire internet. Pack of utter retards.

I too have never 'stumbled across' anything online I didn't want to see in recent years, although I will confess to looking at goatse to see what all the fuss was about. Kinda gross but not as interesting as the legend surrounding it makes it sound.

[Jackie Blue]

DUDE IT'S CATURDAY

Actually the girl I dated last year introduced me to 4chan.  I had honestly never heard of it.  She's also the one who bought my SomethingAwful forum account, which isn't nearly as bad as 4chan when taken in its totality (the music, film and book forums are nice, do not even fucking speak to me of GBS or FYAD).

I actually found /b/ to be amusing to look at about once a month for 30 minutes or so.  Kind of like a really bloody car crash.

If I were to try and become the kind of person who writes amusing stories on blogs or whatever, the first one would be "I Dated a Camwhore".  (No offense, she's really sweet and we're still good friends, she's just a little... odd.  But then again, so am I.)

[RifewithWit]

God.... I cried, but not because of the action that Sephiroth performed. I had spent about 8 hours just leveling my main team...And that main team was comprised of Aeris, Cloud and Barret.

I had that team at Level 45. my closest Secondary team member to Aeris was Tifa. At about 22. I was pissed. I had no idea about what happened to her.... I had decided that I did not want any story hints... and it was most certainly to my detriment.

[Cartilage Head]

 Boo-fucking-hoo. Next time save your leveling for later in the game like a normal person.

[Narr]

4chan is the reason God doesn't talk to us anymore.

Sigged.  It's the utter truth.

[Storm Rider]

Can this thread please fucking die already? Jesus.

[StMonkey]

No, it musn't die! If this thread were to die, a more inane and useless thread about Final Fantasy VII would rise from the ashes!

[ForteBass]

GOD
FUCKING
DAMNIT

[camelpimp]

Can't we just, ya know, lock it? I know some of you have the power to do so.

[AsteriskEnye3]

Now that I've scandalized all the non-/b/tards who read this

You seem to be making the curious implication that you're proud to be a "/b/tard".

4chan is the reason God doesn't talk to us anymore.

Note to self: Ironic humor must be fleshed out more. For the record, I'm not a /b/tard, though I've been through 4chan a few times to figure it out. It just seemed like the only people who wouldn't shudder would be /b/tards. I apologize for provoking a completely unnecessary vilification of 4chan. Because you are totally fucking right.

[Wasteroo]

What has two thumbs and never played Final Fantasy VII?


This guy.

Was that a Scrubs reference? Or is that an idiom outside of my little microcosm of existence?

Edit: Jesus, I had no idea this thread was so old. I didn't mean to revive it, really. Someone should just lock it.

[Alex C]

Oh, it's already far too late for apologies and edits. To keep the Scrubs reference going, this is pretty likely to send Fortebass into what could best be described as a rage coma.

[caseyyano]

I didn't cry when Aeris died. She was the weakest character, I thought Tifa was cuter, and whenever Sepiroth killed someone I cheered. That's why.

I am on topic; because I am a good person.

[dalconnsuch]

no, i didn't cry when aeris died in FF VII

i'm a winner

[Jeff Newguy]

whose aeris?

[muteKi]

^ Seriously? The American version was harder?

How times have changed.

Used to be the case for games like Dynamite Headdy or Streets of Rage -- the US versions were made harder overall.

[Xerostyle]

To be honest, I hated Aeris. I never used her unless I was forced to, and I sold all of her equipment.

[OMGmyFACE]

Liked her more than anyone else in the female cast but I... I didn't cry. Or anything. 
Definitely was pissed though. A third in? I mean, really.

[Jeans]

What part of "let this thread fuck off and die" do you people not understand?

[just-another-andy]

does it iritate you that other people have opinions?

Edit:Anyways is our great and glorious leader....

[Jeans]

Not at all. It's more the fact that people go all necro on this thread every time I think it's finally in the coffin instead of posting all their random, uninteresting ramble at once and be done with it.

Can you give me a good reason this thread shouldn't be let go? Is there one single post that's even slightly interesting on the past two pages that I've overlooked?

[Valekraft]

If you have ever read the comic Fanboys "http://fanboys-online.com/"
I am Paul. I love my playstation games and I cried with Aeris died... But im still a badass or something.

[Jeans]

Not even fucking Herbert West could do what you guys are succeeding at, time and time again.

How do you do it?

[Fletch]

FF7 killed my mother.

Son of Aeris?!?

*edit*
Yeah, I replied before I finished reading the whole thread.

An, did you see the movies or read the book?
*edit2 1/2*
I don't like starting a sentence with 'anyways'.

[Jeans]

Not even fucking Herbert West could do what you guys are succeeding at, time and time again.

How do you do it?

[LadyFirelyght]

Easy answer, Anyways:
hit "Reply".

On topic: I cried. Oh yes, I cried. My mouth hung open for a good 10 minutes while the tears came down. I'm a blubbering baby, what can I say?

[Blyss]

Yes - I cried for all the gear that was on her character and for the levels I'd worked on for her.

Beyond that, no, didn't particularly care that she died.

[muteKi]

I am amazed at how big a deal this scene was and still manages to be.


I need to talk with my composition class instructor to see if I can post a video that used a decidedly different backing track to the Aeris death scene.

[camelpimp]

Ya know, I've been reading through old Phantasy Star LPs when I found out (sadly, I never played them back in the day) that the Nei death scene and the Alys one were better, despite predating FF7 by a few years.

I know the reason why FF7 is so revered is because for many people, this was the first (or perhaps, the first decent) JRPG they played. Has anyone played it again recently? I imagine it must be painful.
