did YOU cry when Aeris died in FF VII?

The halo anti-fans are so shrill at this point that they have drowned out the halo fans on every forum I visit.

I actually have reasons for hating VII. Good ones, in my opinion. But that's not the point of this thread.

I laughed when Aeris died, because I thought that that meant the game was wrapping up.

I still can't decide what to think about that line of thinking. On the one hand, I find it delightful, because I'm the sort of guy who appreciates the Encyclopedia Dramatica. It makes me happy to think there's about a million guys with OCD trolling the Gamefaqs boards who seriously think like that. :evil:
On the other hand, it's resulted in jrpgs being rendered trivially easy as developers have to account for players who seem to believe there's some prize for hoarding all your megalixirs. :x
Consider me torn.

As far as the storyline being understandable, you're not that far off.
ScrambledGregs:
FFVII is a vastly overrated RPG with an awful translation and a huge group of fans who love the game simply because it was their first RPG and are therefore unable to objectively see it in the chronology of RPGs.
So, no, Aeris didn't make me cry when she died. But then again, I haven't cried for any reason for about 12 years. I am not trying to sound macho, because truth be told I think I have some kind of emotional block about crying. There have been several times in the past 5 years where I wanted/needed to cry, but I couldn't. I even tried to force myself to cry once, but all I ended up doing was laughing because my fake sobs sounded so ridiculous.
