Been looking at things on the internet recently and saw yet another article claiming Aeris' death scene in FF7 as one of the saddest moments in gaming. There are so many articles or people that would say that it's easy to find some.

But when I was playing the game and that scene happened I was just like 'meh, didn't ever use her anyway, won't miss here'. Is there anyone else out there that just didn't give a crap when she died?

counterquestion: can you name me any character or any scene from a videogame that you actually care about?

I can give you several. Most of them from JRPGs.

Most of the cast of Baten Kaitos, especially Mizuti.

Basch and Balthier from FFXII.

Rinoa of FFVIII.

Millenia and Tio of Grandia 2.

Vanille of FFXIII.

Just a sample but there are more. Definitely would've been heartbroken if any of them died in the game.

 

ah ok, just wanted to know if it was just the case with ff7 or you don't care about videogame characters in general. as for me, i cared and that's mainly because of 3 reasons:

1. aerith was the last of her kind and an overall lightheated, caring, positve person. a rarity in a depressing world like ff7. someone like her simply does not deserve to die. 

2. i always wanted to have her in my party.

3. the music, which contributed at least 70-80% to the whole atmosphere.
