...still kill Aerith?
Aerith's death is one of the most iconic scenes in gaming, even being known by even hundreds of people who never played FF7. Its pop culture.
FF7R's ending really established that the events henceforth can be altered from the OG now that the Whispers of Fate were defeated, with an implied still-alive-Zack. Ever since her death in 97 fans tried any way they could to bring her back. Will Square go that far?
Will they prey on the expectations of those who know about Aeriths death and refuse to kill her? Will they pull off double whammy with this false sense of security and kill her in a later location of the game? Will they kill her and allow the player to bring her back?
To put my thoughts forward first, I feel like it's omission would sadden me, I love the new Aerith to pieces but the scene is so iconic to the game, and the JENOVA battle afterwards whilst playing her theme is so emotional... the idea that they might not do it is a wild thought. For that reason I don't think they will, but what if... 🤔
