I think.....the fact that she touched him is something like she's....snapping him to reality, or something like that, y'know? To let him know "You're not alone, I'm with you." or something like that. I think to have Aeris actally touch him would really help bring Cloud to his senses or something.

AAAHH It's so hard to explain... :unsure: but it's just how I feel. I don't think it means she heals him or anything, but the possibility is there.

I think Aerith's touch accomplished two things:

1. As you said, GG, it was a gesture of comfort.

2. To heal Cloud of his emotional wounds. Notice that she touched the arm affected with Geostigma, almost as if sensing that he is not only physically sick, but emotionally as well. It is entirely possible that Aerith was able to start the walls crumbling down around Cloud's heart with, not only her words, but her touch.

When Aerith touched Cloud's arm in the flower field, it was very reminiscent of a scene in the official novella Maiden of the Planet, where Aerith got to meet Barret's old friend, Dyne. Dyne's entire figure was covered in blood and he had been unable to be reunited with his wife, Eleanor, in the Lifestream. Aerith told Dyne that the blood bound to him was created from his guilt. Aerith touched Dyne's arm and the blood covering him began to disappear until he was completely cleansed. Aerith gave Dyne the ability to start over again and rebuild his heart. It was only after his guilt was eradicated that Dyne was able to be with Eleanor again.

It was much the same way with Cloud. Cloud was unable to see Aerith's face in his first visit with her in the flower field. But, after their conversations and that gentle touch to his arm, Cloud's guilt and grief began to lessen. Cloud was beginning to forgive himself. He was healing. And, later in the movie, Cloud was finally able to see Aerith's beautiful face in its entirety.

I think this explains some of why Cloud wasn't able to see Aerith or hear her voice until he approached the FC. I don't think Aerith was able to reach Cloud prior to this, due to his chaotic emotional state (guilt, despair...). Dyne was unable to meet Eleanor again until Aerith helped eliminate his guilt. It was much the same with Cloud and Aerith. Cloud probably sensed Aerith's presence in the church due to its association with her and its closeness to the planet. But I think it took a sacred place like the FC to allow her to break through and speak with him. Just my opinion on the matter. ^_^
