This is something I've been thinking about ever since the Remake was announced. Obviously it goes without saying that a big chunk of the fans who played the original are going to scoop up the new version when it comes out, no matter how loudly some will complain about the changes made.
But it's also abundantly clear that there's going to be a significant chunk of people who never touched FFVII, let alone RPGs, that will go into this game out of curiosity.
It's been accepted for the longest time that Aerith's Death is one of the most openly spoiled moments in videogame history, kind of like other spoilers for other big franchises like Star Wars or Harry Potter. Obviously there's going to be a fair share of newbies going into FFVII and at least knowing about Aerith's fate through osmosis.
Even so...I've seen for myself plenty of online posts from people who 100% have no idea that it happens.
That's why I want to try and make a community plea that we stop openly spoiling Aerith's Death, in addition to any other FFVII spoilers involving the characters, story, and so on.
I'm aware this is a tall order, it's not like we can control media outlets, journalists, meme lords and the thousands of other people still mentioning that moment to this day. But if there's a chance to spread awareness in order to lessen awareness of this moment, then a whole new generation of people can fall in love with Final Fantasy VII again and experience the same heartbreak so many of us felt back in 1997. Based on the community reactions I've witnessed online, people are already positively receptive towards Aerith's unveiling in today's trailer, both old fans and new fans alike. We owe it to the folks going in blind, scant as they may be, to let them experience FFVII for the first time.
Alright, guess all that's left is jerking off then aerisdies.com

>posting resetgender on Yea Forums you fully deserve any spoiler you get, by the way sephirot kills aerith eat dick

what's wrong with era?
James Miller
Aerith dies Sephiroth is a mamma's boy Barret is black and has a kid Tifa and Cloud fuck Vince is an emo old man Jenova is Sephiroth's mom oh yeah AERITH FUCKING DIES t. Guy who has barely played the game.
Meh, I went into it way back when knowing that she died, because a friend spoiled it for me, and I'd say that it actually enhanced certain scenes if anything. I remember actually getting a little emotional during the gondola ride in the Gold Saucer date scene, specifically because I knew that that was one of the last happy moments you have together.
Justin Diaz
From the screencaps I see from that site, it seems like the userbase from both sites behave the exact same way. Each complain about different things just as loud.
Maybe you depending on your choices. Either Tifa or Aerith can die. Or even none of them.
Maybe you can have an Aerith ending.
It is a REMAKE motherfucker.
Colton Nguyen
stop erasing history, you fucking clown.
James Gutierrez
Hojo is Sephiroth's father Vincent is a cuck
Bentley Martinez
You guys should be mad as hell about them releasing it in parts/episode format. Why the hell does SquareEnix go out of their way with stunts like that?
Kayden Wilson
>t's been accepted for the longest time that Aerith's Death is one of the most openly spoiled moments in videogame history > It's Time We Stopped Openly Spoiling Final Fantasy VII Wow. thanks for spoiling it.
Daniel Martinez
takes longer to make the same amount of content when it looks 500x as good graphically with realistic animations etc. i'd prefer a shitty looking game with tons of content, but focus groups disagree
Kayden Evans
Darth Vader is Luke's father.
Asher Gonzalez
>You guys should be mad as hell about them releasing it in parts/episode format. Why the hell does SquareEnix go out of their way with stunts like that? because sadly they can't bank on DLC to cover them financially. so instead we're getting 3 parts valued at $60. So a $180 dollar game.
>Barret is black and has a kid And he leaves his kid with some stranger and completely forgets about her and never ever talks about her for the rest of the game. Sounds like a ''normal'' black guy.
Also a leader of terrorist organisation. Has a gun. Too violent.
Carter Williams
You cant stop the Aerith deathspoiler. But we can at least not reveal the whole Zack thing. I went into FFVII not knowing that. But right now I'm just going to enjoy the whole "dont spoil 20 year old game" meme. The only people with an excuse as to not have played it yet are children who have no control over money and cant but FFVII
Jace Evans
>The only people with an excuse as to not have played it yet are children who have no control over money and cant but FFVII
Or you know, emulate the PSX version. Kids that could play FFVII and understand somewhat the story would probably have the skills to search how to emulate.
Christian Garcia
what makes Yea Forums different from reset then?
John Turner
I guess they could. But I imagine that still some couldn't like say a parent doesn't trust the emulation sites because they're afraid it will hurt their computer. Or maybe some parents would see the Don Corneo thing and bar their kid from playing it ever again. But still, some could get to play FFVII that way
Jack Gonzalez
You would have to literally browse that site to even realize OPs post in from there.
Brayden Roberts
tbf he's shown to be pretty caring back in the bar. That bit where he has her on his shoulder and he presses the button on the pinball machine to lower himself into the hideout will always be iconic.
>And he leaves his kid with some stranger Because he had to go to dangerous places that no sane parent would have a kid around you fucking idiot.
Samuel Brooks
The users are either trannies, Niggers or leftists with 0 exceptions what do you think maggot?
Jose Parker
If I go to work, and I (say) work at the mine - and working in mine is dangerous - should I leave my son/daughter with some random stranger like Barrett? Also, he never talks about her. Never crossed his mind to visit her, even when the party gets vehicles. >''but the world is in danger, you fucking moron'' Sure thing. Meteor is approaching the planet, the end of the world is near, and I'm just here, raising my chocobos.
Samuel King
Aerith's mom was not a random stranger at that point
Liam Reyes
Kill yourself.
Nicholas Hall
I hope they don't let Aerith die this time because what's the point of making her playable otherwise.
If you unironically posted this image you're worse than anything resetera can shit out.
Christopher Watson
What's wrong with ResetERA? They're a hypocritical toxic safe space. That's what's wrong with them.
Aiden Harris
snape kills dumbledore also aeris dies
Jace Gomez
the actual answer is that if you posted your exact comment on resetera youd be banned
Mason Edwards
Alexander the Great dies of alcohol poisoning
Wyatt Allen
Kill yourself retardera.
Camden Collins
I guess? Doesn't the blonde chick in XV die and one of the cancelled DLCs was an alternate ending where she didn't?
Thomas Diaz
Because they will ''remaster'' the movie (Advent Children), again, and try to sell it, AGAIN, once the final episode of FFVII Remake comes out, or even sell the Complete Package with full game and movie? SquareEnix is the master of re-selling the same stuff over and over again. Having the option to leave Aeris alive would make the movie meaningless/useless.
Grayson Hernandez
It's been 22 years
Nathan Sanders
aeris dies

>cloud thinks he's someone else and is controlled by sephiroth/jenova from the start because of the jenova genes he was infused with >aeris is the last ancient and sephiroth kills her >sephiroth was controlled by jenova all along and continues her plan to assimilate the planet and then move on to the next
Lincoln Green
>Having the option to leave Aeris alive would make the movie meaningless/useless.
That's a good thing
Gabriel Wilson
You get banned for going against the groupthink in any way
Jason Brooks
For us, yes. The movie was crap. But for SquareEnix, no.

You won' t see this game until the PS5 is well into it' s life cycle.
Fuck off, reddit spacing whore.

Bentley Mitchell
Only the zoomerest of zoomers haven't played FF7 at this point. Do you REALLY wanna protect Fortnite kids?
Who cares about this overrated trash?FF8 is leagues above and should be the one to get more recognition
Also what is there to spoil?Good guys kill sepiroth, the end,cookie cutter bland story
