Aerith’s death (from Final Fantasy VII) is still the most significant death in gaming

"You know it’s been 13 years since Final Fantasy VII came out on PlayStation and still one of the most significant things that I (PGN) remember about the game is the now-classic scene of Sephiroth killing Aerith."

"Is it the most significant death in gaming to you?"

Though your comment is funny have you seriously ever played Final Fantasy VII? It was the frontiere rpg of its day and the first to really go mainstream imo. LOTS of people cried and since most gamers are guys then yup that means that a whole lot of guys cried when they got to that point. Nice video by MegaRAN to!

DolfZigglers4932d ago

Ok never played it so whatever. Still never cried over any game even when a death happened like in Gears of War.

El_Colombiano4932d ago

I don't think anybody can expect any emotional connection to a character from a game with such a generic story line such like GeOW's.

Shok4932d ago

My GOD Final Fantasy 7 is the most over-rated game OF ALL FUCKING TIME. Everything thing about it!! I mean, the gameplay is fine, but CLOUD and SEPHEROTH themselves are so over-rated its ridiculous.......and now people are saying Aerith's death is the most significant in gaming? Geez, how over-rated can a game get!?

ULTIMATE_REVENGE4932d ago

True say, FF9 is way better than FF7.

NovusTerminus4932d ago (Edited 4932d ago )

*Looks at Call of Duty*

Pretty damn over rated.

I loved FFVII, but in truth there are allot of games to match it and be better.

Shok4932d ago

Lol, yea, CoD too.

But yea FFVII is in no way bad, just severely over-rated.

imoutofthecontest4932d ago

I don't know if I agree with the article or not, but since you have a strong opinion about it, I might ask of you which game deaths have been more significant? Put it out there.

Shok4932d ago

I'm no Halo fan (anymore), and definitely not a 360 fanboy, but the 5 deaths of Noble Team in Halo Reach were far more significant than Aerith (specifically, the death of Noble 6). Again, I could care less about Reach now, but I watched the whole campaign and the way those Spartans went out were nothing short of epic and held so much importance.

I'm not saying those were THE MOST important, but they were more important than Aerith's.

yewles14932d ago

No offence, Shok, but a lot of fans still love title, and it's not like anyone shove's it down anyone's throat anymore. This isn't 2002-2003 here.

WildArmed4932d ago (Edited 4932d ago )

Agreed,
it's initial reception was well deserved.
But now people look back like they got the gospel and refuse to look forward.
Now that's ignorance.
It's ok to say you LOVED FF7, but c'mon.
Not EVERYTHING that FF7 did, it did perfectly.
People need to accept that.

Plus, FF6 was the best in terms of gameplay/story ;)
Regardless of the sprite stuff.

Though the RPG i enjoyed the most was Dragon Quest 8 <3

Most important death?
*looks at MGS series*
fuck it, there are too many good deaths in gaming.
Why belittle all of these great deaths by picking one.

ULTIMATE_REVENGE4932d ago

I played it, and I didn't give a dam about her death. She was there for nothing anyway.

wwm0nkey4932d ago (Edited 4932d ago )

I didnt care for a single character at all when I played that game. Final Fantasy 7 is the single most over rated game in the series. FF9 has to be the best PS1 era FF game still and it deserves more love than FF7

EDIT: also Hironobu Sakaguchi didn't work on it so that probably explains why I hated it. After he left Square died...good thing he made Lost Odyssey which is more of a FF title than FF13 lol

ULTIMATE_REVENGE4932d ago (Edited 4932d ago )

That's exactly what I've been wondering all this time, everyone keeps on crying for a FF7 remake when FF9 is much better in so many ways.

If anything deserves a remake it's FF9 and not FF7, but then again it's typical for Sony fanboys on this site to just go along and say whatever everyone else is saying.

You guys should play the games before you follow everyone else like sheep.

wwm0nkey4932d ago

I would kill for a HD remake of FF9 :(

TOYstoryManIam4932d ago

FF9 was the best in the series I thought. Most significant death goes to Aerith though. Maybe because it was the first of its kind that was portayed in such a way?

LostWithoutTraces4932d ago

Well the author does agree with it being overrated but was her death the most significant is what he's really asking. Umm I'm not one to get too emotional to my games but yeah it was a pretty powerful moment.

No mention of fixing the audio issues the dialogue audio is too low this has been reported many times on social media the volume has to be turned up and music has to be lowered to hear the characters properly :(

Babadook719d ago

I have a question as someone who is considering buying the game soon. Is this a fixable issue? Can you just lower the volume for music and sound effects and keep dialog at default?

shadowT19d ago (Edited 19d ago )

yes, it is no issue at all. Just go into settings. Do you have already played the first Remake or the OG?

M3talDiamond19d ago

There are a few youtube videos and reddit tips with some tips on fixing the sound issues but sadly they didnt work for me

M3talDiamond19d ago (Edited 19d ago )

@Babadook7 There are a few videos on youtube with tips on how to fix the dialogue audio this but sadly they didnt work for me. There is an option to lower the music and sfx and keep the dialogue audio at 10 but you have to keep the volume up high (well for my TV I do) but when you are in battles and cutscenes the audio is higher so you have to adjust the audio again.
@shadowT The audio issues doesnt affect everyone there are some people on reddit complaining about the audio and there are other people saying they dont have any issues at all. I think it depends on the TV I have a Samsung QLED 4K and FF7 Rebirth is the only game I have audio issues with.

Babadook719d ago (Edited 19d ago )

Thanks for the answers all.

@Shadow yeah I have the Remake and finished it and loved it (loved the OG also back in the day). My understanding is this is even better than Remake.

The way it was handled was so dumb. One shots in melee...your teammates are to ostupid to get away from its attack. So you most often end up alone in a certain fight.

Hofstaderman50d ago

Two words, one accessory....Safety Bit

MeteorPanda50d ago

Needing an accessory to keep a.i from dying and only one of them isnt great.

Got to Zacks part in 7 Rebirth. Said f it. Finishing my game in 7 og. Just got to part 2 yesterday. I also got Crisis Core... So it'll be a while before I'm back to Rebirth. I just keep thinking about it too smh, want to get back to playing it. Not till I know Zacks story though. I beat 7 og sooooooo long ago, it's crazy going through it again and remembering things.

MrNinosan76d ago (Edited 76d ago )

Got to Zacks part in Rebirth?
You mean you started the game and turned it off?
The game starts with Zack...

ravens5276d ago

... Really 🤓 lol. His second part, I've played for 80hrs lmao. <---- PS5 Run time, probably not all game time. You guys know how it goes.

VIK212176d ago (Edited 76d ago )

Did you not ever play the OG FF7? After you recruit Vincent, later in the game, disc 3, return to that basement and look at the pod, there's a whole Zack story that'll trigger as a memory.... it's well hidden in the game and a lot of things regarding Zack are cleared up. FF7 Crisis Core is basically an extend feature of that hidden flashback... It took me years to discover it back then lol

https://www.youtube.com/wat...

MrNinosan76d ago

@ravens52
80 hours in Rebirth by doing everything, and you should've reached Zacks story about 5 times 🤣

ravens5275d ago

Ye I kno that's y I said not all gameplay time. But also I am very anal when it comes to exploring.

ravens5275d ago

Not to mention fighting Titan at his full strength. Hours spent trying still haven't succeeded. Found all 3 ruins but I'ma masochist when it comes to games.

Barlos76d ago

Very much so. Graphically it's dated but the story and the gameplay haven't aged a day. It's still one of my all time favourite RPGs and for me is better than Remake in some ways.

Barlos76d ago (Edited 76d ago )

It always takes me back to Christmas 1997, I got it as a gift and I was blown away when I played it. I couldn't believe games could look that good. The combination of pre rendered backgrounds and FMV really made it stand out. It definitely still has a certain charm that modern games can't replicate.

I can't imagine people will still be talking about Remake and Rebirth in 27 years.

Tapani76d ago

Fully agreed. To me the atmosphere, pacing, gameplay and music are all better than in the remake.

Rebel_Scum76d ago

Yes, play this, skip remake, start rebirth for new players.

I_am_Batman76d ago

Skip Remake? That's terrible advice.

leahcim76d ago

Remake is so amazing, pure FFVII Love, play it on PS5 please! aww the graphics the battles, the music... a dream come true.

Rebel_Scum76d ago (Edited 76d ago )

I disagree Batman
