There's no way I can do justice to such an iconic scene, but I attempted it anyway. Thank you for watching, and thank you everyone who caught this Live.

I purposely stayed out of the stream for this event. Just to have more effect. If I was there they would just be like shutup Aeris your dead. And then it would be funny and not emotional. Even though I am just a cosplay in FFXIV. This was a great stream *Gets Tissue for Sebby*🎀🌸
I only played this within the last few years and that scene is just so well done. The materia bouncing down the stairs with the music before any lines are stated adds so much to it. Then they expect you to do a boss fight without even stopping the music. I really hope remake doesn't remove this scene like people are thinking might happen.
The music starting as the materia hits the ground is such a masterful piece of direction. That moment was when the emotion hit me as a kid, when I knew the game was for real, that they actually did just do that. And making you fight the boss with her music playing is just mean lol 🥲 I hope they do this justice in the Remake kek. Thanks for watching!
They certainly have to change the scene, you can't have Sephirot running Aerith trough with a massive sword in 4k super high detailed graphics, that'd make the game an instant R rated game. They need to deal with this situation in a less graphical form otherwise this scene will be a complete bloodbath.
@@DakonBlackblade2 They can still hold back on the blood while doing that scene. I don't think anyone is expecting them to have it be excessively graphic.
@@DakonBlackblade2 But in the Remake pillar collapse scene, they already show Biggs and Jessie with “serious injuries” and literally no blood 😆 They’ll prob just take that route. Or they’ll completely change the script and have Zack intervene at the last second, hi-five Cloud, then kiss Aeris to “Simply The Best” by Tina Turner.
@@Sebbywebz The serious injury scene they show Jessi only from the waist up, I assumed the injuries were on the legs. But you aren't wrong, although I dunno if it wouldn't end up being a bit weird seeing a super detailed sword going trough a super detailed Aerith and not a drop of blood being spilled, it might break the immersion completely.
And thus one of the most iconic deaths in gaming history... was born. I don't think even now anyone's ready for the remake version of this... like remember how they updated the devastation of the explosion? That hit a lot of us hard because they captured the terror and pain so well. -gives you needed hugs. 😢 ❤ P.S. you're right... I was 12 when I experienced this. None of expected it. There were a lot of amazingly done sad scenes in FF7. Its story telling was just done so well.
It’s crazy how this scene makes so many people feel like a kid again. Hopefully the Remake does it justice. They’ve got some big shoes to fill. Thank you for watching!
Who would have thought a little game from 1997 could rip your heart out so effectively. I still remember playing it as a 11 year old...I had never had a game destroy me like that before...I came out of my room all red eyed like I had been crying (I had been) and I parents legit thought I had been hurt.
Yeah I was 11 when I played this too, and this scene hit me hard. I remember talking with other kids at school who were shaken by the same scene. I know I sound like a mad boomer, but it was great stuff back then 😎
Yuffie's reaction is heartbreaking - I think because she's practically still a child, it hits her so hard that she just breaks down. Really enjoyed this video man, it's clear just how passionate you are for this game. Growing up I didn't really have any friends who played FF, all my friends were gamers but just of a different breed I guess, so seeing this resurgence in popularity all these years later with old fans and new is so heartwarming for me.
Yeah she’s seen the decline of her country, but hasn’t seen a friend die in front of her yet. Thanks man! I think the explosion of FFXIV last year rekindled an interest in the series as a whole, since they’re all connected.
Oh, I remember the dagger that went in my heart back in 1997. First time a scene in a video game that hit me this hard. Had to put the controller down for a minute.
I remember my first time experiencing this, I didn't cry. But, I had this very heavy feeling in my heart that was too hard to explain. As if my heart is trying to burst out of my chest, telling me to just let my emotions out during this scene. A character that I'll no longer get to play unless I replay the whole game again from the beginning. But the death that really hit me so hard that really made me cry is, I know it'll sound weird but, Nanaki's dad Seto. Though it didn't show how he died but the build up (Bugenhagen's introduction to their tribe, Nanaki's denial and anger to his father) to that point where you get to see his petrified body secreting tears, while Nanaki's howling in grief and probably remorse as well. To me it's on par with a certain someone's death in Crisi Core, manly tears were shed during that time.
Yeah the combined music, visuals and dialogue create a powerful sense of loss and yearning in this scene. And yeah Red XIII’s carthatic realization of who his father really was is just beautiful. Thanks for watching!
My best friend gave me a copy of this game for PC I think I was a bit older then 11 but I remember her saying how pissed she was because Aerith was her fav character and she grinded her a LOT and I remember her saying to get a tissue box for the wnd of the 1st CD...I miss my Besty, she too is now one with the planet too
Thank you for that lovely comment. I’m sorry to hear about your friend. But I’m glad this scene holds meaning and memories to so many people. Wish you the best
@@Sebbywebz hank you, yeah I can't telp to think of my bestie everytime I hear Aerith theme song, but to be honest the sadest one for me is ff7 cricess core, no spoiling but for me was the sadest
This is a good share, thanks for this. I was also a whippersnapper when this came out and it was crushing then, and I’ve been binging ff7 content since I finished rebirth, because it’s just as crushing now, if perhaps a bit more confusing. I love how this game not only touches a persons soul, but brings them together with a shared experience. Also, for anyone interested, I read or watched, don’t remember, but someone was talking about cait sith’s reaction in this scene and how the graphics didn’t do him justice. He’s supposed to be trying to read her fortune, and when he realizes he can’t see her future he gets sad and derps out.
watching this scene again you really get a feel for how much the graphics have aged, don't get me wrong it's still one of the saddest scenes in videogame history but i can't believe we used to think that was not just good but great graphics
I was so shocked when it happened. I knew she was going to die, my bro told me she died in the third disc so that's what I expected. She left the party for the ancient city and said she'll see Cloud later and I kept thinking, "This isn't it. This isn't it." I kept saying that to myself over and over and then it happened. It was like the wind got knocked out of me. Someone I'd grown to love was just taken, and there was no getting her back, and every character was just as heartbroken. So yeah, I cried and still cry to this day.
I have started playing FF7 for my friends on Discord and i'm fandubbing the lines as well, girls included, trying to make them sound as faithful as I can. But you seem to be doing a godlike job yourself.
I think I was 9, 10 or 11 when I played this game for the first time. I remember playing it before FFVIII came out(7 was the game that got me into the FF series, though I had played one before it), so it probably was either Christmas of release or sometime after that. So a 2 year time span. Either way, I was a kid. That scene just hit so fucking hard back then. I was enjoying the plot, it was entertaining to read, but then that scene hits, you beat the boss and I think on the "Please insert Disc 2" screen I just waited and cried. It made you not want to continue. I didn't use her a lot, but the attachment was there for sure. I was not ready for that, and tbh I think it was one of the first experiences with death I ever had. Edit: Yuffie's reaction.. I never saw it before.. my god that's on point. Seeing this scene, if its in Rebirth, is going to be PAINFUL..
Yeah I was around that age too. I think it was many kid’s first experience of the feeling of true loss. And yeah Yuffie’s reaction is devastating XD Thanks for watching
I was 12 when this game came out. I was 14 when I first played it myself. I originally saw my ex-friend play this. We were 13. Watching the battles, I was fascinated by Aeris/Aerith. Several weeks later, my ex-friend ran up to me... "Katherine! AERIS DIED!" "YOU WHAT?" She then showed me the scene in question when I went round her place. To say I was pissed was an understatement. When I came to get the game myself, it got to this scene. My ex-friend had bawled her eyes out to the scene - however, thanks to her spoiling it, it didn't hit me as hard as it should have done. I was saddened, but not shocked. 😞 That wasn't what ruined our friendship. That was thanks to my first love. He dumped me suddenly... and several weeks later, my ex-friend 'fessed up that she had spent the night round his place. Both she and my first love said that her then-fiancé was with them both. Yeah right. Why would you spend the night with the boyfriend of your supposed friend, and take along your fiancé (who'd never met him before) and not say to your friend at the time you were doing that? I also found out that he had pornographic pictures of another friend and dirty chats with another thanks to this bombshell - my ex-friend was telling me about what the other girls were doing and I was stunned. I asked her how she knew this... that's when she 'fessed. 😞 Needless to say, a whole pack of dirty stopouts were dropped. I'd wasted 7 years on my "friends". Screw them. (On a plus-side, each and everyone of them had men already. They lost them. Losers.)
I think the only way they’ll ever be able to make everyone happy is if there is in fact multiple timelines. That somehow they converge the timelines at some point where OUR Aerith lives, but we still somehow see Zach’s Aerith die. That way my sweet baby darling can live, but the OG fans that want to see her death can see it remade with today’s tech, music, and voice actors.
I’ve never been a fan of multiple timelines. It feels like the new form of using Time Travel to fix everything. If they can find a way to have her live this time AND have the story still be emotionally impactful, I’ll be very impressed. Hope they can pull it off. Thanks for watching!
Yeah it’s a hard act to follow. And hard not to see it coming, now it’s been done. We’re lucky that when they did this for the first time, they did it so well. Thanks for watching!
Its really weird Cloud and Yuffie embrace considering the gold saucer date...lol Yuffie is like 15 and Cloud is 21 in this game. I wish they had Cloud and Tifa embrace...i cannot wait to see this moment in the remake..i really hope its in Part 2
It feels less like an embrace, and more like her crying on the shoulder of someone she can depend on. Tifa running off to deal with it herself feels in character too, since she’s still trying to figure out Cloud at this point. We all know this isn’t gonna happen in Remake XD Zack’s gonna intercept at the last second, save Aeris, then high five Cloud to 80’s boomer music 🤣 Thanks for watching
Too bad you missed out on playing this game with the Echo-S mod that was released earlier this year. They spent over 6 years doing a full VO of the OG and it's actually really fantastic. Even for a 1997 old fart FF7 fan, it made replaying my favorite game of all time exciting again.
@@Sebbywebz Nice, what is great about the fan mod community after all these years is that FF7 fans have so many options to enjoy this game as they see fit. I just wanted to point out the best version of my favorite game I've experienced, and hopefully any newcomers who think a game from 1997 is too old/boring to play, the mods make it relevant in 2023!
However I still had Cloud Barret Cid lv 45 with 5000 to 6000 HP 500 to 600 MP before she dies BUT I had Cloud Barret Cid at lv 55 with 9999 HP 999 MP each BEFORE fighting the first disc 2 BOSS.
Of course! Bad graphics allowed for storylines back then. FF2, FF3 (USA), FF7, FF Tactics. Somewhere the storytelling got lost in the graphics, but this game cannot be topped. @@Sebbywebz
It got all of us and it got us good but it’s now a memory that an entire generation can share and is engraved in our minds forever and that’s beautiful
As is often the case with Final Fantasy its the music that really does a number on me. I'm ok until Uematsu brings the theme in the moment the white materia hits the floor. I don't think anyone who played this as a kid will forget when they first played through this moment though. At this point in time, games simply didn't do this. Killing off a main character was just not done. And though FF4 was really the first game I can think of that did it. Due to this being in a FMV, it was made so much worse. That is why it is (deservedly) one of the most iconic scenes in Video Game history.
Yeah the entire sequence is so brilliantly executed and carefully thought out. And it wasn’t until The Last of Us 1 in 2013 that I thought a game had another moment like this. Thanks for watching 🙏
@@godfreycadogan2913 at this point idk what they’re gonna do lol. Tbh I would’ve preferred a more classic remake, like RE2/4 or Demon Souls. The original story as is was fine and enough for me
How can i not forget? i was 8 years old, had just moved house after my parents split and my brother bought a PS1 when it was brand new, i would sit watching him play games from resident evil, metal gear solid to tekken. it's only when i first saw FF7 i was absorbed into it. one day he calls me into his room and said i have to watch something, low and behold this sadistic fuck purposely called me into his room to Witness Aeriths death. he reloaded the save point spacifically to horrify me. a character died in a video game?? but how? it felt real. i didn't understand it, but i understood the goal, he used me as a weekend mule to grind all the way to lvl99 outside Mideel, not down north crater and i did it. i never saw him finish the game because he was too absorbed into his car and modifying it (lets not forget late 90's is where the car scene started to bloom into something before Fast and the furious made it a franchise hobby) But to this very day, almost 26 years later i'm now doing my 26th Consecutive full play through, this time with mods to make a difference. i still have HIS FF7 OG mint condition black label kept up safe as sound like my very own prized possession. this game didn't only break my damn heart but it taught me what emotions and feelings were, if it wasn't for this game i would have never become who i am today. that may sound crazy to some but what you said is correct, back then things were different. im not ready for FF7 Rebirth seriously...this scene alone never did i imagine could potentially get remade. Oh and as for school? this game is the core reason to why i made the friends i made also. oh and i shafted everyone at school £1 each for Vincents safe code ;)
I remember the shock&sadness I get. When I was little, I love Aerith since the first time I saw her in the opening scene. And I always put her in my party, with Tifa too. So I'm surrounded by 2 strong beautiful ladies. (Yeaaah! 😂) I reached high level because I use them a lot for grinding. And then, BAM! Sephiroth ruined everything. And the rest of my party (except Cloud Aerith Tifa) are still weak cause I don't level them up that much. I haaaaaaaaate that so much. Eversince then, I swear, I hate Sephiroth so bad I want to punch him in the face. If anything, I want the ff7 remake last trilogy to put down Sephiroth for good. He's just the worst, man. He's the reason why Cloud can't be with Aerith. And also one of the reasons why Cloud and Tifa can't have a nice relationship in Advent Children. He keeps bugging Cloud and prevents him to have a nice life and triggers Clouds PTSD every now and then. Arghhh I hate Sephiroth!!

Beautiful line. He won’t just miss the nice parts. He’ll miss all of her

Its really weird Cloud and Yuffie embrace considering the gold saucer date...lol Yuffie is like 15 and Cloud is 21 in this game. I wish they had Cloud and Tifa embrace...i cannot wait to see this moment in the remake..i really hope its in Part 2
It feels less like an embrace, and more like her crying on the shoulder of someone she can depend on. Tifa running off to deal with it herself feels in character too, since she’s still trying to figure out Cloud at this point.
We all know this isn’t gonna happen in Remake XD Zack’s gonna intercept at the last second, save Aeris, then high five Cloud to 80’s boomer music 🤣 Thanks for watching
are you the voice actor for the remake, you are so good
No, I’m just some streamer gronk who loves the OG 🤣 Thanks for enjoying
Man, this guy is a profesional!
Thank you! The scene means a lot to me 🙏
Too bad you missed out on playing this game with the Echo-S mod that was released earlier this year. They spent over 6 years doing a full VO of the OG and it's actually really fantastic. Even for a 1997 old fart FF7 fan, it made replaying my favorite game of all time exciting again.
I respect what they did. But I’m such an egomaniac I’d rather VA it myself 😆 Thanks for watching 🙏
@@Sebbywebz Nice, what is great about the fan mod community after all these years is that FF7 fans have so many options to enjoy this game as they see fit. I just wanted to point out the best version of my favorite game I've experienced, and hopefully any newcomers who think a game from 1997 is too old/boring to play, the mods make it relevant in 2023!
However I still had Cloud Barret Cid lv 45 with 5000 to 6000 HP 500 to 600 MP before she dies BUT I had Cloud Barret Cid at lv 55 with 9999 HP 999 MP each BEFORE fighting the first disc 2 BOSS.
OMG the Bambi line was soooooooo perfect!
Thank you!
Of course! Bad graphics allowed for storylines back then. FF2, FF3 (USA), FF7, FF Tactics. Somewhere the storytelling got lost in the graphics, but this game cannot be topped. @@Sebbywebz
The moment this video came and I saw his face he know what he got himself into and he knew what was coming
This nuked me as an 11 year old lol
It got all of us and it got us good but it’s now a memory that an entire generation can share and is engraved in our minds forever and that’s beautiful
Do you have an FF7 Remake content? I would watch ALL of it.
I streamed it 2 years ago to like 7 ppl 😆 I might do it again when Rebirth comes out
@@Sebbywebz please do and let us know ahead of time!
Saddest scene in video game history.
Nothing else hit like it since
As is often the case with Final Fantasy its the music that really does a number on me. I'm ok until Uematsu brings the theme in the moment the white materia hits the floor. I don't think anyone who played this as a kid will forget when they first played through this moment though. At this point in time, games simply didn't do this. Killing off a main character was just not done. And though FF4 was really the first game I can think of that did it. Due to this being in a FMV, it was made so much worse. That is why it is (deservedly) one of the most iconic scenes in Video Game history.
Yeah the entire sequence is so brilliantly executed and carefully thought out. And it wasn’t until The Last of Us 1 in 2013 that I thought a game had another moment like this. Thanks for watching 🙏
This scene in 4k is going to destroy me
Dw Zack’s gonna save her at the last min in Remake ☝️🤓
@@Sebbywebz I’m praying bro
@@godfreycadogan2913 at this point idk what they’re gonna do lol. Tbh I would’ve preferred a more classic remake, like RE2/4 or Demon Souls. The original story as is was fine and enough for me
How can i not forget? i was 8 years old, had just moved house after my parents split and my brother bought a PS1 when it was brand new, i would sit watching him play games from resident evil, metal gear solid to tekken. it's only when i first saw FF7 i was absorbed into it. one day he calls me into his room and said i have to watch something, low and behold this sadistic fuck purposely called me into his room to Witness Aeriths death. he reloaded the save point spacifically to horrify me. a character died in a video game?? but how? it felt real. i didn't understand it, but i understood the goal, he used me as a weekend mule to grind all the way to lvl99 outside Mideel, not down north crater and i did it. i never saw him finish the game because he was too absorbed into his car and modifying it (lets not forget late 90's is where the car scene started to bloom into something before Fast and the furious made it a franchise hobby) But to this very day, almost 26 years later i'm now doing my 26th Consecutive full play through, this time with mods to make a difference. i still have HIS FF7 OG mint condition black label kept up safe as sound like my very own prized possession. this game didn't only break my damn heart but it taught me what emotions and feelings were, if it wasn't for this game i would have never become who i am today. that may sound crazy to some but what you said is correct, back then things were different. im not ready for FF7 Rebirth seriously...this scene alone never did i imagine could potentially get remade. Oh and as for school? this game is the core reason to why i made the friends i made also. oh and i shafted everyone at school £1 each for Vincents safe code ;)
Wait 'till you play the Echo-S7 mod. Makes the scene a bit harder hitting.
I’m sure it’s good, but I’m too much of a narcissist to watch others VA a scene that I want to do myself XD
@@Sebbywebz ... Besides the fact that narcissists have no self awareness, you voice act?
Actually Vincent did ballet for me, kicked Cloud in his ?;&“?!: and moved away.
I went from crying into laughing
If they let her live i ask for a refund. Don't touch my child memories omg
You know Zack’s gonna tackle Sephiroth mid-fall then high five Cloud 😆
@@Sebbywebz Dude that's so trustable
I knew she was going to die cause my strategy guide spoiled it for me.
Wtf looool
Oi cheer up IM WOKIN HEE' 😭😭😭
IM WALKIN ERE
I remember the shock&sadness I get. When I was little, I love Aerith since the first time I saw her in the opening scene. And I always put her in my party, with Tifa too.
So I'm surrounded by 2 strong beautiful ladies. (Yeaaah! 😂)
I reached high level because I use them a lot for grinding.
And then, BAM!
Sephiroth ruined everything.
And the rest of my party (except Cloud Aerith Tifa) are still weak cause I don't level them up that much. I haaaaaaaaate that so much. Eversince then, I swear, I hate Sephiroth so bad I want to punch him in the face.
If anything, I want the ff7 remake last trilogy to put down Sephiroth for good.
He's just the worst, man.
He's the reason why Cloud can't be with Aerith. And also one of the reasons why Cloud and Tifa can't have a nice relationship in Advent Children.
He keeps bugging Cloud and prevents him to have a nice life and triggers Clouds PTSD every now and then.
Arghhh
I hate Sephiroth!!
