My Dad loved RPGs and FFVII. I lost him on 9/27/22, and this Christmas my brother got me a little music box with Aerith's theme and when I heard the music for some reason it just made me think about my Dad so much, I was moved to tears. Life is something else.
I feel they killed it with her voice actor and over all character in this game. You can't help but love her. Hope they don't have her get brutally impaled this time.
I cry every time I hear this theme. When I was A kid, Aerith represented the youthful hope and joy I was denied growing up in an abusive and drug filled home. She was always so positive. So full of joy. Her death devastated me. I just paused the game and wept. Killed the boss in a rage, then saved the game and didn’t touch it for a month.
I used to be one of those people who was like tifa's better but like after watching a full playthrough and all the cut scenes I stopped comparing the two because they are both beautiful souls in and out
My uncle played the og ff7 when it first came out. He showed me when I was younger. He was excited for the remake and looked forward to it. He sadly passed before he could play it, so I played it in his honor.
In May 2021 after a memorial service for a friend of mine who died, I played this in my car and I was a blubbering mess afterwards. Aerith's Theme really is one of the saddest but most beautiful pieces of music ever written.
I was watching Advent Children when it came out and the part where Cloud sees Zack and Aerith in the church and she forgives him, I actually felt closure. After all these years, I was surprised how I really needed to hear that. Man, what a game and Universe!
You know, when you're angry because of something stupid someone said on the internet or you keep being hounded by the same tedious arguments... it's just always nice to go back and listen to music such as this to calm you down and remember the good times you have with it, the game and the character.
Not sure if anyone will see this but I just wanted to put it somewhere. Last night I did it! I finally for the first time got to her death in og ff7. I’ve loved this character for years and have started and stoped ff7 so many times. But I felt like with how much I’ve loved the cast ff7 for a long time with just looking up stuff about this game and AC and everything else surrounding it, I owed it to myself to finally push through and beat the og game. And finally getting to see her seen in full by myself and getting up to that point by myself meant a lot to me. Her theme playing the entire time throughout the boss fight and the finale moments when Cloud lets her go and gives her back to planet…it killed me lol. So It’s a milestone and I’m happy I got there but as it probably was for many of you…it’s a bittersweet one. Thank you to anyone who reads this and shares a love for this game as well, I just wanted to put my thoughts on my experience with the game so far somewhere.
The remake gives a large place to Aerith, and god knows if she deserves it. But young players that haven't play the original game won't know what it feels to have 15 and play this game, discovering its story for the 1st time.... Even 25 years later, at the 1st 3 notes of her theme, tears are not far... 🌷
Aerith is the personification of goodness and peace. She never died because millions of players prayed for her to be alive. Our praying for Aerith stronger than death. Aerith, you will stay in our hearts forever and ever, forever and ever.

"You see? Everything's alright"

Who is here after rebirth? 🥲
ff7 remake was the best thing to happen to me in 2020 then I finished it in 2 days and was depressed for a good month :(
This song feels warm and make you feel everything is going to be alright
We drained our tears then, Now we drain our tears in 4K

Aerith picking up her dropped flowers right after this wallpaper scene and someone stepping on the last one makes me sad every time.

Aerith theme has motifs that inspire Hope. Triumph but sadness. I love it. Captures her character perfectly.

Aerith became my favorite final fantasy character after Remake. I absolutely loved her in this game.

How TF was I meant to deal with this as a 10 year old? I’m 35 now and I cry harder now than I ever did.
