PLEASE ON MY HANDS AND KNEES KILL HER PLEASE

IT'LL BE MUCH MORE NARATIVELY INTERESTING IF THEY KNOW THAT SHE'LL DIE BUT CAN'T STOP IT OR TRYING TO STOP IT RESULTS IN HER DYING, OR TO PUSH THE POINT THAT SOME THINGS CANNOT BE CHANGED

[Snakeskin94 13]

You know I find it uncomfortable how much people relish in the glee and jubilation at Aeirth dying. Like I get it its part of the story but seeing people be like "omg yes please kill her" or "yes I can't wait for her to die" it's just kind of sadistic to me.

[ElectriCole 5]

Well ok

here's the thing for me

I'm not begging for areith to die because I don't like her or anything, she's an awesome character

I am just in the belief that with the whole whispers and changing fate and stuff, they are going to use that as an excuse to make areith live past that point, which I believe take away so much of what makes the story of ff7 so incredible

plus, while I don't know a lot of the og ff7 story, I believe that it's a very importaint turning point for cloud and the rest of the party

[Snakeskin94 13]

That's fair but I've seen people ok with the other changes, like other people surviving, but when Aerith comes up suddenly they care about preserving the original. It isn't consistent.

You haven't even played the original Cole 😭

[ElectriCole 5]

But I know of it and it's impact

Like surely there's some iconic game story that you know about but never played the actual game

[Snakeskin94 13]

Pikmen.

[ElectriCole 5]

Honestly, based pick

pikmin is very good

[Snakeskin94 13]

I also never played Mother 2 but the only ones that matter are 1 and 3 lol

[ElectriCole 5]

...

You thing Mother 1 is more importaint than Earthbound or Mother 3?

[Snakeskin94 13]

Isn't Mother 1 Earthbound?

[ElectriCole 5]

Nope

That's mother 2

mother 1 is known as earthbound beginnings in the west

[Snakeskin94 13]

Oh shit I got my games mixed up my bad- ok, so I've played 2 and 3 then

[ElectriCole 5]

lol all good

That's a fair criticism and one I'm not free from

While there are a few people out there who wants Aerith die for the sake of it coughshipperscough, I think for a majority it's there because of what it means not only to the story bit also the history of gaming. This one event is one of the most iconic moments in gaming.

And while some characters have lived, like Wedge and Biggs, they were very minor characters in the original. Even with Wedge still around it still followed the original story in some way.

If Aerith does live then I can't really see how this is the same story because so much will need to change going forward

[ElectriCole 5]

exactly

[Snakeskin94 13]

But I also think so much of the story has changed already, I don't think Aeirth living is the absolute deciding factor

[ElectriCole 5]

has it?

[Otti#8624 26]

Other than the last two hours of remake, not much did change

[Snakeskin94 13]

You ask me the way Sephiroth and Zack has been utilized is more damning than Aeirth living could ever be

[Otti#8624 26]

And even then, the trajectory is still the same. They need to go after Sephiroth.
