First of all, let me get something off my chest. AERIS'S DEATH IS NOT A TRAGEDY. No! Shut the hell up. It's not. She gets shish kabobbed by a psycho with a giant katana. Shocking, yes. Sad, sure. A tragedy? Not so much, no. Stop tossing the word "tragic" around before it becomes totally interchangeable with "sad." "Tragic" is supposed to be reserved for special cases. Is Aeris an overwhelmingly noble character brought to corruption and ruin because of an intrinsic flaw that also happens to be inseparable from the qualities which make us admire her in the first place? No. Sephiroth falls from the ceiling and impales her from behind while she's just kneeling there, catching everyone off guard. It doesn't qualify as tragic if you didn't see it coming. Bummer? Sure. Tragic? Not so much.
