One thing I don't get is why it surprised people when Aeris died. It was one of the most heavily foreshadowed events in the whole series.

Well if you saw the US ad campaign, you knew Aerith dies before you even put the game in your PS1.

 

And didn't know 80% of the game were going to be blockmen who somehow looked worse then the previous 2D sprites.
