Just want people who have played FF7 to answer a question.
 
Do you think the game would've gotten as big as it did if Aries DIDNT die?

Drakul 04-24-2006 12:17 AM

Alot of people see it as a "legendery moment" in games and I read/heard that alot of people actually cried at her death scene.

Kalyx triaD 04-24-2006 12:24 AM

I don't think her death was instrumental to the game's success. It was a moment to be remembered, but it's not like sales spiked when people heard a game character died.

McDoogle 04-24-2006 12:35 AM

People actually cried? Are you kidding me?

Bad Company 04-24-2006 12:40 AM

SPOILER, FUCK!

According to a few things I've read and stuff people have. I doubt it was full blown crying though. I bet it would be more "misty eyed" than crying.

Blitz 04-24-2006 12:53 AM

Yes.

I know I was pretty pissed when she died...And till this day, i've never seen her final limit break :'(

Extreme Angle 04-24-2006 12:09 PM

i think its the most dramatic video game death of all time...
i hated her so i wasn't to bothered...
but no if i don't think it would of been as big

diothoir 04-24-2006 12:28 PM

People would have bought it regardless. It wasn't as if it was "OMG she dies, buy this game".

Yeah, most of its success came from critical acclaim, the FF name, the groundbreaking visuals (The FMV, anyway), etc. They could shit in a box, put the FF label on it, and it'd sell like 30 million in a month.

Oh wait, they did. FFX.

Xero 04-24-2006 02:16 PM

I don't think it would have affected it.

Also, I've heard that they are indeed remaking FF7 with the FF12 battle system for PS3.

Aries = God of War

Aeris = Dead chick from FF7

:D

LoDownM 04-24-2006 07:21 PM

:lol:

If you think about, if she didn't die, it really wouldn't of effected how big the game got or not, cuz, seriously, how many people knew she was going to die when they bought the game, and where still sucked in by the story/graphics over the last game/controls/etc.. I mean, if she didn't, we'd think of the story line differntly, we'd think differntly about Sephiroth(wouldn't hate/love him, whatever) wouldn't effect the game, more like, "would people view the game's story as a "masterpiece" or not"

Right, I've had just about enough FFX abuse :mad:

Favre4Ever 04-25-2006 12:45 AM

The first time I played the game, I had no idea what would happen, and Aeris was one of my main chars. Got her final limit and everything. Sucked.

Sorry, it's the redheaded stepchild of modern FF.

The only game so bad I stopped playing the series.

Blitz 04-25-2006 01:42 AM

FFX>FFVIII>FFIX

Boomer 04-25-2006 02:58 AM

FF8 is horrible.

I still have 2,3,4,5 and 6 to beat. Meh. 11 doesn't count either.

I should really finish 6 one of these days :o

Blitz 04-25-2006 04:00 AM

Yes, I also have to finish 6.

Silent 04-25-2006 05:10 AM

No I don't think it would have effected the sales at all.. since it wasn't a selling point.

Shaggy 04-25-2006 08:23 PM

I was very sad when it happened....tears didnt fall or anything but I still couldnt believe what happened....

The only thing I hated about the game was the "Knights of the Round Table" Summon....damn thing took like 10 minutes...

Many of the summons took forever. Some were definitely worse.

LoDownM 04-26-2006 12:44 AM

Knights of the Round is short compared to Eden in 8...Talk about a pain, least you didn't need to rush through his boost shit.

road doggy dogg 04-26-2006 05:06 AM

WTF @ all you turds who haven't played/beaten 6. Easily the best FF game ever made. Assholes. Fuck you.

:(

Everytime I try to play it, emulated or the playstation remake...Something always happens, harddrive blows up, system breaks :(

road doggy dogg 04-26-2006 05:36 AM

Get the ROM then, it's worth it :rant:

LoDownM 04-26-2006 05:37 AM

I know!! I was like half way done with it when I was playing the remake and my psx died :mad:

road doggy dogg 04-26-2006 05:38 AM

Tough break :'( I need to pick that up for PSX too now that you mention it, ty.

Blitz 04-26-2006 01:44 PM

Yeah, got 6 on an emulator. I'm like 3/4 the way through it, just never bothered to finish.

Fignuts 04-26-2006 09:50 PM

Um...you seem to be forgetting a very important aspect of this arguement. No one knew she was going to die. There were no captions on the back, saying, "SEE AERIS DIE!" You knd of only knew if you bought it.

Nero 04-27-2006 02:22 AM

I was much more saddened by the death of Cait Sith...him talking to the camera made me kinda sad. However it was ruined when another Cait Sith just came seconds later.

Its good but the loading times on that thing are terrible. Just keep playing it on your emulator.

That's my advice.

Drakul 04-27-2006 04:03 AM

If anyone hasn't seen it, hear it is with Evanescense.
