fucking..aries better come back

 

If you play the game to play the game, you won't know. But if you play

it and read between the lines and critically analyze it like your English

teacher would want, there are signs that point to Aeris being alive. If

you need detail I'll provide.

Let's take a look at some of the hints regarding this that are

spread throughout the game.

When President Shinra dies, we see Sephiroth’s sword

shoved through him in exactly the way he kills Aeris later on.

He is immediately replaced by his son, which could foreshadow

Aeris' rebirth.

 

 

When Aeris speaks to Cloud in his dream before taking

off to the City of the Ancients the last thing she says is,

"The secret is just up here. At least it should be. I feel it. It

feels like I'm being lead by something. Well, I'll be going now.

I'll come back when it's all over." This line implies that Aeris

knows that she is being protected by something far greater than

herself and that she will be safe if she prays for Holy, no matter

what happens. After all, she knows that Sephiroth is going to be

after her. She probably also knew that Jenova was the real threat

because her mothers voice would have told her. Also remember that

Holy is "the Ultimate White Magic," which is the magic of Healing.

If any magic could perform a resurrection, it is Holy.

When Tifa and Cloud are on their way to revisit the City

of Ancients to find out what Aeris was really doing there, they

have this exchange:

 

Tifa: I wonder what Aeris felt when she was on that altar.

 

Cloud: I'm sure she wanted to give her life for the planet

 

Tifa: Really? I wonder? I don't think that's it at all. I

think she didn't think she would die at all., but that she planned

on coming back all along. She always used to talk about the 'next

time.' She talked about the future more than any of us...

 

 

When we re-enter the church at Midgar, we see a specter of

Aeris that disappears if we get too close. Aeris has not returned

to the Planet yet, but why not? What is she waiting for?

When Aeris runs away from Cloud in the Sleeping Forest

dream, we see her run into a white sphere of light, symbolizing

Holy.

 

 

If you look closely as Aeris falls through the waters during

her burial, notice that she falls into a sphere. As the fade out

occurs a circular light surrounding the sphere, grows smaller and

smaller as she falls, as though it is absorbing her body.

In the games ending, there are two appearances of Aeris.

The first is the hand reaching from the white light of Holy out

to Cloud, as though Holy is creating a new body for her. This could

also symbolize Aeris reaching out to Cloud to pull him into Holy

and back into the Lifestream with her since, when the scene shifts

back to reality, Cloud is about to fall off the ledge he is standing

on and die.

 

 

In the first scene of the game, we see Aeris' head

facing straight at us, her eyes already open (life). When Sephiroth

draws his sword from her body we see her eyes close (death). In

the final scene we see Aeris' head nodding upward and her eyes

opening (returning to the Planet or resurrection).
