Probably because Final Fantasy VII is a popular game and it was just a major part in the game too. It would be the same as if Zelda died in the Legend of Zelda. Its a popular game series, and a main character. Her death would be kind of important. And probably now, because its such a terrible and unemotional scene because of the graphics so people like making fun of the graphics that were actually really amazing for its time. That is my guess.

What is considered 'the most shocking moment in video game history'?

To many critics and video game entrepreneurs, the most shocking moment in video game history was when Sephiroth killed Aerith/Aeris in the video game Final Fantasy VII.


Why did Aeries die?

Aeris was an ancient, or Cetra, and was the only one left alive who could activate the white materia. Knowing this, Sephiroth killed her. He failed, however, in killing her before she prayed for the materia to activate and turn green.


Who does sephiroth love?

I Dunno but Cloud loves Tifa and Aeris loves Zack. Aeris claimed to have had feelings for Cloud once because she saw so much of Zack in Cloud but Cloud did not love her. He merely respected her as a friend. BUT. He does love Tifa and She loves him.AAAAAHHHHHH!

Who is aerith in Final Fantasy 7?

Aeris Gainsborough (Normally Known as 'Aerith') In Final Fantasy VII, Aeris is a 22-year-old woman who joins AVALANCHE. As the story progresses, AVALANCHE begin to pursue the enemy Sephiroth, Aeris is a Cetra, or "Ancient", one of the planet's oldest races. Aerith has also appeared in the later-released Compilation of Final Fantasy VII and Kingdom Hearts series. Her voice actors are Maaya Sakamoto in the Japanese versions of the Kingdom Hearts games and Final Fantasy VII Advent Children, singer and actress Mandy Moore in the English version of Kingdom Hearts, actress Mena Suvari in the English versions of Kingdom Hearts II and Advent Children, and Andrea Bowen in Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII. Aerith and the events surrounding her death in Final Fantasy VII have met with an overall positive reception from various critics and fans. Aeris Gainsborough is first introduced in the game as a flower seller, when she bumps into Cloud Strife, a mercenary who is fleeing from the bombing of a Mako reactor by himself and AVALANCHE from earlier on inside the game. The two later meet in Aeris' church in the Sector 5 slums, where she is faced with the possibility of being captured by the Turks, Shinra's Troops. Aeris asks Cloud to be her bodyguard for the cost of one date. She is eventually caught, but once again rescued by Cloud and company. Aeris then joins them in the pursuit of Sephiroth, while embarking on a journey of self-discovery as well. After failure of attempting to foil Sephiroth's theft of the Black Materia, Aeris goes to the Forgotten City for an unknown purpose. Cloud and his companions go after her, eventually finding her praying at an altar. As Aeris looks up to smile at Cloud, Sephiroth appears and kills her by impaling her through the torso. The materia given to her by her mother, which she wore in her hair, falls from the altar into the water. After fighting an incarnation of Jenova, Cloud carries Aeris' body out into a lake in the Forgotten City, and releases her back to the Planet, into the lifestream, as shown in the movie 'Advent Children.' The party later learns the reason for Aeris being in the Forgotten City; through her White Materia, Aeris was able to summon Holy, the only force capable of repelling the ultimate destructive magic, Meteor. Though Aeris successfully casts Holy before her death, it is held back by the power of Sephiroth's will. When Sephiroth was finally defeated and Holy was released, it appears that it was too late to function as effectively as it should, for Meteor - already summoned by Sephiroth and set on a collision course with the Planet - has come too near the Planet's surface. While Holy clashes with Meteor, attempting to prevent its impact, the gravity of both Meteor and the Planet pulling on the spell in opposite directions weakens it, leaving it with too little room to take effect. The Planet's Lifestream then flows forth from within the planet, intervening with Holy and Meteor, and acting as a battering ram while aiding in the destruction of Meteor. This scene is followed by a vision of Aeris within the Lifestream's energy.


How tall is sephiroth?

It's tricky to work out Sephiroths exact age, but it's certain that he must have been in his mid-twenties before he was "killed" five years ago in Nibelheim. As Professor Gast was still around for Hojo's initial experiments at the Mansion, Sephiroth is older than Aeris. Although a date of thirty years ago is not exact, it seems to fit with Gast and Hojo's chronology.

Can you bring Aeris back to life without the gameshark codes on Final Fantasy VII?

Too put it simply, no, you can not. There are many people who say that there are ways too bring her back, but none of them really work. The story woundn't make any sense if Aeris didn't die, or if she came back.


Is there really an edition of Final Fantasy VII where Aeris lives?

No there isn't. There is no way to revive Aeris in any (unmodified) version of FFVII.It is possible to revive Aeris with a gameshark though.there was meant to be an alternate ending, where aeris comes back to life, but apparently they didn't have time to make it.


Who is really mother in Final Fantasy 7?

'Mother', used by Sephiroth in the FF7 game/Crisis Core game and Kadaj, Loz and Yazoo, in FF7 Advent Children movie, basically refers to JENOVA, a calamity that fell from the sky and was mistaken for an Ancient (i.e. Aeris). In short: Mother = Jenova
