Aeris Lives

This was a true shocking moment when we all tried for hours on end in an hours on end-style game to make this dream come true. During the late 90s, when a little gem was released called Final Fantasy VII, we were all sitting on the edge of our seats when Sephiroth (the big bad) stabbed the female love interest, Aeris, through the midsection before Cloud could stop him. It was an emotional state of despair as we all wept, and screamed that it just wasn’t so! Aeris can’t die! Not like this! Some jokesters found a way to screw with our minds and spread a rumor that there was a way to save Aeris. It was mostly a bunch of item fetching and questing for characters that didn’t exist. But tThere was no saving her. But the days of the early internet rumor spreading trolled us hard.
