did YOU cry when Aeris died in FF VII?

[muteKi]

Yeah, I have significantly more experience with that of PSIV.


You're not alone in your opinions of the Phantasy Star death scenes, though most other people that I know that have such an opinion are big PS fans in general anyway (i.e., active on the PSCave forums).

[Surgoshan]

Actually, it's still pretty good.

Much like a lot of people here, I didn't cry. Why? FFVII didn't resonate with me at all; the characters were hollow, and Sephiroth was an awful, AWFUL villain, especially considering his predecessor (seriously, how many times do we have to watch him walk through fire? It wrecked the Dissidia trailer for me when he did it at the end). I didn't play any FF games from then until XII.

I give the game points for its size in terms of side-quests and exploration capacity, but that's it. One of my favourite QC jokes is Pintsize's description of his "limit break," because to me, that's what FFVII really was all about: long flashy battles, because they could do it now.

I was angry.  I almost refused to play the second disc.



And everytime that they insist on calling her "Aerith" in US releases, it is like they are twisting theat sword in her wound.  I understand the reasons, but you gave us such a resonant character that changing ANYTHING about her just seems wrong, even if it's just fixing a typo.

Although the moment was touching indeed, I found the cutscene onboard the cargo ship in disc 1 of FF IX more even more emotional, for some reason.

And now we wait for the guy with the scary Samuel L Jackson avatar to come in and complain again about thread necro...

What scene in which cargo ship?

[Turtle]

She was my healer, and saved my ass a few times early in.

I didn't cry, I was pissed I wasted my time leveling her up. I mean, what's the point of even showing that she has higher limit breaks if you can't use them past the first disk without cheating? That's retarded.

This. I wasn't upset emotionally, just pissed that I lost my healer. I had to rethink my strategy, and that made me angry.

Where's the "Happy" option? I was so glad to have such a useless combatant leave my party after having been required in the party for so long.

The one in which Black Waltz 3 blasted all those Black Mages away.
