Aerith was so strong! She is so sweet but so strong! She never give up and never tell other to run aways, not like tifa or someone eles... People told that the one who saved the Planet was Cloud but it was not really true! At last, who cell lifestream to save the planet was Aerith... So is she a whore? is she a mary-sue? No! She is not! she is the true hero! better than many man can do nothing for the planet! Like tifa in FFVII: Advent children, told so much but can do nothing! In FFVII, Aerith never tell so much about what should do or what must do, but she did so much and always tried her best. Aerith never told everyone eles something like "You must..." or "we must..." or "we should...",... she help the others find out the answer but she didn't answer them. i love aerith so much! I hate who hate Aerith beacase she is really really good and sweet girl!
I said so much... ^_^' Sorry....
I have only 2 favorite characters in Final fantasy VII: Aerith, Sephiroth. And so far: cloud... In FFVII original, I didn't hate Tifa so much. Only sometime I felt that I couldn't like her... That's all. But after I watched the FFVII: Advent chirldren, I really really hate Tifa! Something of her was changing and i hate it! tifa in FFVII: Ac told so much but couldn't do anything, she "helped" Loz and kadaj destroyed the Aerith's flower garden, and nearly useless when she lost in all of her battler, she can do nothing but she always tell with Cloud "do this" and "do that", she didn't really understand the Cloud's feeling and what should do better than talk, talk, talk and talk!!!!!!!!!!!!... In FFVII original, Aerith liked talking but with talking, she did manything, too! not only talk and talk like Tifa in FFVII: Advent Children. i prefer Tifa in FFVII original, she make me felt better and more stronger than Tifa in FFVIIAC. that's why Tifa wasn't one of my favorite character in FFVII. "Tifa in FFVIIAC" made me hate her and didn't feel "can like tifa in FFVII original". The FFVII original had a perfect story and great characters! Better than every other FFVII!
