It has to do with how popular FFVII is of course.
It didnt shock me cause I dont get shocked by almost nothing and I cant see how someone could get shocked with a VG scene to the point of crying.
But the character, Aeris, was made to be lovable, innocent, etc... and the music in the scene( I have to say is one of my favorite in uematsu work), the animation that was quite new at least in the way it was shown, added to the game`s popularity and many people playing in that moment makes it one of the most relevant scenes in gaming.
Most shocking? No, but very important, in the same way the famous "I am your father" scene is to movies.
Unfortunatly, any time FFVII appears the haters appear too.
