How to revive Aerith. (The poor grammar is a joke, so don't get on me about it, I'm pretending I'm a noob.)

You guys do know that they were ACTUALLY going to include reviving Aerith but they got a budget cut so they had to take it out and the resurrection place is still there just can't do anything it's near Cosmo's Canyon where Ulitima weapon blew up and left a crater to where you can climb up to it inside is some puzzle where you can get some air magic summon I forgot but a screen above it is where Aerith was SUPPOSED to be revived but never made it into the game and by the way this was all just a rumor not 100% sure it's true but if you go there yourself it does seem like that's what it was supposed to be it's just a dead end with nothing there but a rock bed it looks like

I'm not sure about the air magic thing or if it's even true, but there are unused bits of dialog that are spoken by Aerith even after the point she was supposed to die. Yet originally, back when the only party members conceived in early development were Cloud, Aerith, and Barret, they were planning on killing someone from the beginning. They knew they couldn't kill cloud because he was MC, and they didn't want to kill Barret because it was, from what Nomura said, "too obvious", so that left them with Aerith. Nomura also included her death because he was tried of the common cliché, where the MC is willing to die for his love in the name of TRU LOVE!!!

 "In the real world things are very different. You just need to look around you. Nobody wants to die that way. People die of disease and accident. Death comes suddenly and there is no notion of good or bad. It leaves, not a dramatic feeling but great emptiness. When you lose someone you loved very much you feel this big empty space and think, 'If I had known this was coming I would have done things differently.' These are the feelings I wanted to arouse in the players with Aerith's death relatively early in the game. Feelings of reality and not Hollywood."
—Yoshinori Kitase, Edge, May 2003[27]

Nomura also talked about how everyone crying over Aerith and trying to make themselves believe that she'll come back was all a part of his plan.
"when I reflect on Final Fantasy VII, the fact that fans were so offended by her sudden death probably means that we were successful with her character. If fans had simply accepted her death, that would have meant she wasn't an effective character."[26] From the original release of the game, rumors have circulated that Aerith can be resurrected in or that the original plan was to have her come back, but this was scrapped in development. Nomura has categorically stated that neither of these rumors were ever true; "the world was expecting us to bring her back to life, as this is the classic convention."

After so many times of playing this amazing game, I'd imagine she'd learn in the process... Couldn't she go pray somewhere else? I mean, Sephiroths fall takes what, like 2 minutes and a half, until he gets to the floor and stabs her! It's not so hard to look up, take a step aside, and hammer him with her staff! I always imagine that happening every time I watch that scene now...

Square did have the intention to revive her, true, but due to time constraints they just couldn't... Which always reminds me of the not-so-well-known bee inn scene, the "gentlemen club", where you could do a few things... There are some videos at youtube, can't remember what they were called though Always makes me sad that they couldn't finish the game completely, though... and frustrates me that they won't do it now, even though I know they'd just ruin the game.

Davideo7 :   That was absolutely genius bro! I read all of the steps and got a good laugh out of it. I'm sure it would have been the greatest expansion of all time! lol

You close your eyes on your weddingnight and think of England or you click your heels together and say "there is no place like home".

To do this, you have to have aerith at the max level and have her kill 666 enemies. Then, you have to have cloud die 666 times. Now, when she gets stabbed, cloud won't be able to drown her like he usually does! But you can't do anything with her, so it is pointless. *Yes, cloud DOES drown her, watch this video to understand* http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEJ_3_wYROc

During a chocobo race you will find a small hole with which you will find the soft spot stuffed animal shop. You will buy a very large teddy bear said by the owner to be custom made for someone who didn't pick it up. During the event where aeries dies, Sephiroth will see the teddy bear and reveal that he was the customer who wanted the teddy bear. He wanted to have a "very fluffy teddy bear to be his friend for life" Cloud gives the teddy bear to sephiroth and sephiroth leaves forever with his new, as he puts it, "BFF"

With sephiroth gone, the game ends.

By the way. The reason Aeris was killed off was becuase during development they were having trouble incorperating tifa and aeris. One of the developers said as a joke "What if we just kill of aeris?" And they went with it.

One way I heard to revive her on disc 3 is.
Step 1: Have these four Items 
- Four Tissues (lose battles at the arena)
- One mastered Revive materia
- The Buster Sword (Cloud's initial equipment, required because of the association with Aeris)
- A substantial amount of playing time (Enough to level up the materia)
Step 2: The next place that you must go is to Aeris' house in Midgar. If you have not already obtained the Sector 5 key, you must go to the Bone Village and have the diggers dig next to the airplane. Once you have the key, proceed to Midgar, and visit Aeris' house. Go to her room.
Step 3: Nothing will happen at first, but you can spur on an important series of events if you use four tissues (lose or win fights in the battle arena) next to Aeris' bed. After you do this, Cloud will be overcome with grief, and will yell, "Why did you have to die?." Once he composes himself, the other people in your party will come out, and Cloud will discuss with them his desire to bring Aeris back to life. They will question you at first, but will soon be brought to agreement.
Step 4: Your group will suggest that you visit the church in Midgar, where you may find some insight on how to get Aeris back.
Step 5: On the way to the church, use the savepoint to access your PHS. Make sure that your party includes Cait Sith. Then enter the church (if this is your first time in it after disk one, you will see a ghost of Aeris). The two children who appear next to the flower bed will ask where the flower girl is, but will then notice the cat (Cait Sith) in your group. They will ask to play with the cat, and Cait will agree to it and leave the church with the children. The ghost of Aeris will then appear before you. She will mention the resurrect spell (which you should already have), and will tell you to go to the Ancient City, which is your next destination. Retrieve Cait Sith from the children and proceed.
Step 6: At the city, go to the spot where Bugenhagen inserted the key (the waterfall with the crystal in the middle of it) and enter the waterfall. Here, Cloud will remember what Aeris told him, and will take the Revive materia out of his pocket (or wherever it was at the time). He will mutter, "I never got to tell you...," and begin to cry. Composing himself, Cloud will place the materia on the pedestal in the center of the waterfall and kneel before it in prayer. The materia glows brightly and begins to shimmer with a green light. It then turns into a ball of light and shatters. In front of Cloud, the crystal glows so brightly that he must hide his eyes from it. When the light goes down again, Cloud looks up and sees a ghostly image of Aeris, which tells him to go back to Midgar and enter the Church.
Step 7: At the church, the image of Aeris will appear again, but this time it will not vanish. Your group inspects the flower bed, and Aeris gets up and walks towards you. It is then that you notice that she is not a ghost. As if to answer your unspoken question, Aeris looks at Cloud and says, "Don't worry, Cloud, it really is me... Maybe now we can do all those things that we never finished the first time around...
Then after all that your done.  I haven't tried this yet but I will be soon.  So try this out if you want.

Resurrecting Aerith is a difficult task, but doing so is vital, because her stat growth after death is similar to how Saiyans gain power after they die. Without further ado:

Resurrecting Aerith!

The first thing you must do is defeat the Ruby Weapon in the desert. You guys don't need me to tell you how difficult it is. But what you don't know is that buried beneath the sands of the Ruby's grave is a small orb of mana that is vital for getting into Aerith's tomb.

Second thing is important, and that's returning to the place where you first found Vincent Valentine, in the creepy hallway in that mansion. You'll find a tome in there inscribed by the ancient Cetra that is used as a revival manual. This will be perfect for getting Aerith back.

The third thing you need to do is go into the cannon in Juno. In there, you will find a code that is different for each game disk. What this does is allows you access to a secret Square didn't want you finding out about.

Step four is tricky, but worth it. You have to go back and kill the Midgar Zolom, but you must be swift. If you don't kill it within two minutes, you have to try again. Once you kill the Zolom in that time frame, you will get the Zolom's head. Go into Midgar and talk to Aerith's mom and present the head. She will start sobbing and discussing the "Bread of Eden," a ritual Aerith used to perform as a child that granted her the ability to transcend time and space! Buttons will start to pop up over her head, and you have less than half a second to hit each one or else she will start over. There are around 100 different button presses, so timing and endurance is critical.

Step five: Once you achieve this, the Zolom's head turns black. Select it in your item menu, and you'll notice a C++ screen pop up. Enter the code. You will be warped to the bottom of the lake where Aerith died, but it won't be full of water. Instead, an elaborate shrine sits at the bottom. Where it came from, I don't know.

Step six: Open the door with the orb and enter the tomb. Use the tome to revive Aerith, but then prepare for a battle! Upon awakening, all of her memories are gone, and she is in basically defense mode. By golly, is she powerful! But your guys should be able to handle it. Be warned: Using Tifa in the battle causes her stats to go super high, as she uses the ability "Jealousy" if Tifa is in the party.

Once you defeat her, she will run into Cloud's arms, remembering him! Her immense power will be at your disposal, and you will have no problem taking on Sephiroth. There is even a cutscene dedicated just to her when she comes around, because Sephiroth is stunned that she's alive. Furthermore, allowing her to make the final strike in the battle adds her to the actual final battle between Cloud and Sephiroth. She casts Holy as Cloud uses Omnislash, and together, they form the move called "Terra United." This ultimately kills Sephiroth, and you've won the game.

Here's the REAL solution  to revive Aiers or however you like to spell it.

Call Square Enix alot of times in a row until they remake FF7 in, said game, Aiers doesn't die!

Problem solved.

alsonic : I have a few problems with your solution.

1. If you tell Square Enix you want something, the do the opposite.

2. Aeris/Aerith died. Aiers is hiding in the coding somewhere. I hope they didn't kill Aiers because he's a good character.

3. Aeris/Aerith might be the actual problem in the game, so the problem wouldn't be solved!

I raise you one Phoenix Down.

pray75 : Wow, nice one lol. I will try that version of reviving Aries soon.


                               BtotheH's reveing Aries:
 
  This version of resurrecting Aries and playing through the rest of the game  Is fairly easy,cheap and fun to do! 

 Step one, level Aries up before she dies.
 
Step two, take a picture of your screen and print It on a printer.

Step three, Attach a stick to the cut out picture of aerie's.

Step 4, play the game holding Aries In front of the screen. I add In voice affects and dialogue.

My guide: to resurrect aries. step 1 Get a time machine and use it to travel back in time right before Sephiroth gets ready to kill aeris.2 Make sure you have a special photo for this.3  Blind Sephiroth at the right timing with a troll face picture. 4 Get all the people that misses aeris dearly and call them to whoop the hell out of Sephiroth for trying to commit murder to aeris. if done correctly there will be a cutscene where Sephiroth will go home badly hurt and crying to his mom. and aries will be alive. boom you're done alrighty I'm done peace out lol.

I think you cant resurrect aeris in the game, but you can see her ghost on the sector 5 slums church. on a side note, its really sad when she dies.

Well, it's actually pretty easy to revive Aerith.
Just follow these easy steps!

1. Get all your characters to max level after Aerith is killed(doesn't matter when).
2. Walk 7,600,001 steps EXACTLY.
3. Turn off the console, exactly after your last step.
4. After you turn the game on, go to the nearest store, and buy an item called "Mega Phoenix Feather" which revives Aerith, with max stats and the best equipment. HOORAY!!!

If you don't believe me, I have a cousin who has a friend who has another friend who's uncle works with a Square Enix employee.
