To touch the light I see in your eyes...

I really doubt that many people are going to watch the movie without knowing what happened in FFVII. How many copies were sold worldwide? About 17 million? More? How many millions of copies have been rented or borrowed? If nothing else, most viewers will have a friend or relative who played FFVII. There's even people on this forum who haven't played the game, but they know darn well that Sephiroth killed Aerith. It's not like Sephiroth killing Aerith is an obscure game fact that no one knows about. The majority of Final Fantasy fans know about it. Very few people are going to see the movie without knowing that Sephiroth killed Aerith. Very few people who aren't familiar with what happened in the game are going to want to see the movie. So it's not like SE needs to include the Death Scene to inform people why Cloud feels guilty or why he hates Sephiroth. I still don't see any reason that SE needs to include the Death Scene in the movie. The only reason that I can possibly see for including the Death Scene is to add something to it that we didn't see in FFVII. |

In the middle of dawn. Staring at the twilights.

Even if it is a very sad part, it is also one of the most important parts of the game, and the biggest link with Cloud's actual state. I wouldn't be surprised if previous to Aerith's burial, we were shown her death, probably that would be shown at the first part of the movie (when Cloud was still angsty), as a flashback. |

I actually would like to see the Death Scene recreated because it's a good possibility that SE would add things that weren't included in FFVII. Plus it would give people a good insight on why Cloud is the way he is and why he's seeking forgiveness from a woman who, if people who haven't played FFVII prior to watching the movie, isn't there and seldomly shown (from what we know, anyway). They can attain from that one scene that this woman is indeed vital and crucially important, love interest in fact, to the main protagonist and was dear to those who fought against Sephiroth. It will show that Sephiroth was a cold-blooded murderer and really hates Cloud. Plus, of course, the shock and emotional value of having to re-live the scene again or to show those who've never witnessed it, what happened. I mean, Aerith's death scene is emotionally powerful whether you've played up to that point in the game or not. I remember re-playing FFVII a few years ago and I had just gotten to the Forgotten City and Cloud&co. were spending the night there. A friend of mine came over and was watching me play from that point. She had never even heard of FFVII before so she seeing this game for the first time. When she saw Aerith die, she was just shocked and yelled out "Oh my God!! Why did he kill that poor girl!?" And when Cloud buried her, there were tears in my friend's eyes. SE did a fantastic job to be able to draw out emotions in people who have witnessed this scene alone; of course, to those who played the game from the beginning feel the gravity and enormity of this loss much more than people who have little background knowledge of why this happened. So, after that drabble, I wouldn't mind seeing it again (I'm actually quite curious to see what it will look like) but if it isn't show then I won't mind that either. As for the people who laughed when she was killed, they're just stupid and too ignorant to see the fact that: HEY, someone was just KILLED. They're just immature. <_< |
