Even when Sephiroth was defeated and the world was saved, that wouldn’t bring Aeris back.
The narrative direction and its characters were changed. This act effectively ripped the heart of the narrative away from the player, with the team behind Final Fantasy VII flipping the script on gamers. This was the usual type of scenario a player would expect.Ĭompare this to the infamous scene of Sephiroth descending from the sky and piercing Aeris’ heart. You felt the loss of original Cait Sith momentarily, but the emergence of this new one took almost all urgency away from the death. He was then immediately replaced by a new Cait Sith. Cait Sith died trying to destroy the Black Materia. We had previously seen a character come back from the dead in that very same game. No one believed when this happened in Final Fantasy VII that it was real. It was a shake-up in the narrative of video games. Her destiny led her to saving the world, but to do that she had to go somewhere Cloud Strife and the player couldn’t go - and it was heartbreaking. She could handle herself in a fight, she was the true hero of the story, and, most devastatingly of all, you couldn’t save her. She was also my first princess in a castle that I needed to save. She is a flower girl from the slums of Midgar, and she is also the last descendant of an ancient and powerful race. Along that journey, you meet Aeris Gainsborough. Along the way, the story decides to go from stopping a conglomeration from ruling the world to saving the very soul of the world from an alien menace. You play as a disillusioned ex-soldier who joins up with an eco-terrorist group. The legacy of Aeris Gainsborough (We will use the original localization name for this article.) and Final Fantasy VII is one of heartbreak and of helping to teach its audience powerful lessons. Final Fantasy VII had taught a generation about death. There was no Phoenix Down, no reset there was only this hollow feeling. The song “Aerith’s Theme” is etched on the heart of everyone who played the game, and it elevated the story. It was a moment that had lasting effects on the narrative of the story, but it also unexpectedly had a lasting effect on gamers and the industry at large. The theme of trying to save a dying world was not lost on those who were listening, but one key part of Final Fantasy VII that rang true with everyone who played it was the death of Aeris Gainsborough. The jump in graphics was one of those reasons, but the other was the storytelling. When Final Fantasy VII came out it was lauded for many reasons.
