Why??!****ph33r teh big FFVII SPOILERS****

Why did Sephiroth killed Aeris???
Does someone has an answer?

****WELL THE POST IS OVER, SO OBVIOUSLY THE SPOILERS ARE TOO. OBVIOUSLY****
[edited by DL to warn of spoilers(alas too late for some)]

 

<spoilers>
I really don't think there was too much of a reason to kill her. Except for that she was going to cast Holy, and maybe Sephiroth knew this and saw her as in his way. But doesn't Aeris call forth the life stream, to strengthen holy, at the end as a ghost? So pretty much, Sephiroth that was a mistake to kill her on Sephy's part.</spoilers>

 

i thnk that septheroth is just a phsyco thats likes to kill things but

<SP>

i also think that its because that areis posed to much of a threat towards him. with HOLY and all meaning if she was alive all his plans would be ruined. so basicly she was the only one STRONG enough to deafet him.
take the ending for example, how she appers to counter meteor along with the life stream. so i don't think that she died in vain.
</SP>
if that makes you feel any better.
thats my opion.

 

SPOILERS


It's been a while since I played the game, but working off of what I remember (which is very little), I think that perhaps the death of Aerith and other people is just step and step closer to the whole "Reaching the Lifestream" cycle. As usual, could be wrong...

 

Hmm..

*SPOILER*


Can't it be that since she was the last fullblooded Ancient, Sephiroth killed her because thought that his mother (Jenova) was the only one "worthy" to be an ancient?

 

I think he did it to provoke Cloud to chase him down more than he already was.Remember Cloud unwillingly(actually under Sephiroths(or Jenovas,been a while since I played this part of VII)control) helped Sephiroth at the Northern Mountains.Sephiroth wanted to use him to help and decided to get him angry and want revenge.That way he would follow Sephiroth endlessly.

 

Hmm..Not bad Kaneda. Not Bad!

 

i go into this thread, wondering what it is. then i read the first sentance, and BOOM! MAJOR SPOILER! i mean, wtf? at least gimme a warning. u have just wrecked so much for me.

 

Er, actually, I heard it was because the producer's mother died and he wanted to do something about it, so he wrote that into the game. It stinks though, right after I made Cloud fall in lovewith Aeris!!!

 

Even though I could care less (so sorry meema)I would have to agree with ArkAnjil

 

It was because that she was in his way of Meteor.
You see, he knew that she was the last Ancient that could summon Holy so that was pretty much a huge obstacle for him to overcome. I didn't think he wanted to get back a Cloud or for his own sick fantasies, just to kill her and take his place as the ruler of the world by summoning Meteor and going to the energy of the Lifestream. And besides, she was praying for Holy since the intro of FFVII.

 

well i agree with both theories. I believed because she was the last full blooded Ancient Sephy decided to kill her. I guess the mid casting of holy had another part to it. I miss Aeris, she was a really weak character.
