Well,
This has been discussed to death in this thread, and it should be agreed that the reason it is seen as so "earth shattering" is because FFVII reached more people. I would like to add, however, that Phantasy Star 2 did the same thing better almost a decade before.
I was so mad that I actually replayed it to try and stop Nei's death. By the time Aeris rolled around, it was not nearly as jarring.
