First things first. The Ben
Lansing Articles.
Aeris dies relatively
early in the game (on the 1st CD).
This leaves plenty of
room for her resurrection on disks 2 and 3.
It's near impossible to
develop her 4th Limit Break before she dies.
This could of meant she
was to come back and use it when shes stonger.
Then there's Aeris's
ghost in the church.
Is it just a glitch in
the game or not? I don't buy the story it's just Cloud's
memory acting on him. Another weird thing about Aeris's
'ghost' is that it appears in the church even when she's
still alive. (Aeris mentions that the church was the only
place in Midgar where she could hear the planet's voice.
Maybe there's something special about it)
Most of the time when you
play the game, you'll end up going out with Aeris at the
Golden Saucer.
During the date, she
hints she likes you and wants to 'meet you.' She wants to
meet the real Cloud who didn't make it to SOLDIER. How
can she have the opportunity if she dies before Cloud
regains his memory?
While on the cargo ship
from Junon to Costa del Sol, you can promise to take Aeris on
board the Airship in the future.
The thing is, you only
get the Airship after her death.
If you're nice to Aeris
and go out with her, in the Temple of the Ancients, Cait Sith
predicts a 'great future' between the two of you.
One would ask how can
their be a great future if Aeris dies. However this could
be debunked (I'll leave it though) by the fact that if
Cloud thinks he can meet Aeris in the lifestream.
Before the final battle
against Sephiroth, there's an extra ledge that no one is
standing on.
I know, I know, you may
be thinking 'Big deal. Maybe no one's meant to stand on
it, fool,' but then, why would the ledge be there?
During the battle against
that Sephiroth robot-thing near the end, you can have the
opportunity to form three parties.
Because Aeris is dead,
only one party is made up of two members, severely
disadvantaging that party. Each party should have three
members, shouldn't it?
There are some peculiar
things about the location in the Forgotten City where you
find Aeris (the one with the Save point, before the altar).
In the background, behind
the pillar steps and on the floor underneath the entrance
of the area is another door. You can't go inside it,
though.
Then there's the spiral steps you can see underneath the
altar where Aeris is kneeling in. In the scene where
Cloud tries to kill Aeris, if you look at the floor, you
can see these spiral steps leading down. Is it merely
just a reflection of the spiral steps above, or is it
another stair case? It can't be a reflection as the
spiral steps appear in an area where the glass around the
altar has been shattered. The floor may be reflecting the
spiral steps above, but if you think how the area is
structured, the spiral steps is too much to the side and
should be beyond the floor's line of vision. Maybe I'm
dreaming, perhaps. However, the orb in Aeris's hair falls
into the water when she dies. How can you get to it
though?
Answer: The unenterable door leads to the spiral steps,
forming a route to the orb, which you can use to
resurrect Aeris. (and/or perhaps to retrieve Aeris's body
as it was sunk pretty deep)
Aeris's body hasn't been
decapitated or mutilated
It's perfectly intact and
dumped in the clean waters of the Forgotten Capital.
It may be unrelated to
Aeris's resurrection, but there's a bloke in Mideel who
disappears into the Lifestream after the earthquake.
His wife says he may've
emerged in 'another country.' Is this just a local
idiot?Perhaps you could do it with the Guidebook or
something and visit Aeris? The Guidebook is described as
a 'map of another world'. I've gone to Mideel with the
Guidebook but nothing happened, though. What is the point
in this guy disappearing into the Lifestream anyway?
During Cloud's dream of
Aeris before she dies, she says she'll be 'coming back when
it's over.'
An obvious statement
indicating she will be resurrected.
While on board the
Highwind. Tifa and Cloud have a conversation-
Tifa: "I
wonder what Aeris felt... when she was on that
Altar..."
Cloud: "I'm sure she wanted to give her
life for the planet...'
Tifa: "Really? I wonder? I don't think
that's it at all. I think she didn't think she would die
at all, but that she planned on coming back all along.
She always talked about the 'Next time.' She talked about
the future more than any of us."
Also on the Highwind
Cloud and CId have a talk about the play Loveless.
Throughout the history of
Final Fantasy, CId is the name of the Engineer. CId never
looks the same but hes always there and that would mean
he would know things from past games I could assume. Read
the The Loveless Play and Aeris for more information.
