It was great how they kept the song playing while you were fighting jenova, the sadness and confusion as you get thrown into the fight. I remember just wanting to slash her out of the way to get to Aeries. The sound of the spells charging. It was great.
SE: “Don’t worry, Aerith won’t be killed by Sephiroth this time.” Fans: “Yay!” Sephiroth: *turns Aerith into a Jenova monster.” SE: *”YOU* do it.” Fans: 😱
Bringing Zack back to life was already a "what a twist" ending, but that in itself is giving us hope that Aerith may be saved from death. It would be the most devious twist in what they're already doing to the story if they lured you in with the notion that if you can change fate, perhaps you can save her too. But making her the final boss as a Jenova rather than JENOVA-LIFE showing up unexpectedly...it would be even more impactful to have that same sad melody playing. Damn, I actually want this to happen now.
I would be ***1,000,000,000½%*** on board with that twist of Square Enix had the balls to do pull that stunt. Like, as if the original scene weren't bad enough.
@@PatrickCervantez if their intent is to relive the emotions players got when they played FFVII, her death is necessary. Or they could let her live and kill Tifa (hopeful the fans’ outrage will set their headquarters on fire and collect the insurance) but killing Tifa wouldn’t make sense (with Aerith it did since she could communicate with the planet) and is more intune to subvert for the sake of subvertion.
Because it's only like that in the PC version which Square Enix massively lazy ported from the original PC-Version. It doesn't look like that at all in the PS1 original version
I got spoiled about Aeris' death before it happened in game when I got FF7, but not when or how. When this came, the spoiler took none of the shock away.
@@matiasdragonetti7345 I cannot deal with people like you who haven't even seen/played Crisis Core. Zack kills the Shinra troops, carried cloud away and is faced against the 3 troops who kill him. Jesus christ.
I saw the spoiler on the FF7 Strategy Guide. I was browsing trough the pages to see what items I could end up missing and boom!!!! Spoiler!!!! That was the longest walk from the university to my apartment... EVER!!!
“NOOOOOOOOOO” is what I yelled the whole time. Oddly enough I knew she died, just not so soon. I thought she would die at the end of the game, so you could imagine my reaction.
Same. I was in complete denial the entire time the scene played up until the sword made contact. I was just staring dumbfounded at my screen. Not a big of Sephiroth after that.
The heartbeat, the way Holy drops and JUST EXACTLY with the first *PING* when it hits the ground Aerith Theme starts playing AND the following iteration of Jenova being called "Jenova LIFE".....so much and powerful symbolism here.
I'm playing FF7 for the first time, and even though I knew Aerith was gonna die, this whole part completely wrecked me. I was bawling like a baby and I can't imagine how I would have taken it when I was younger and/or playing it completely blind. Can't be understated how smart it was to keep the music going during the Jenova fight.
I played the original game when it came out in 1997 I was 19 years old at the time I had no idea this was going to happen when I was playing and it caught me so offguard I was in shock when I saw her die I thought for sure especially with their relationship growing stronger and after the date he had had with her in the gondola I thought for sure they were going to have a love story that would last for the entire game this just completely ripped my heart out when I saw it I finished playing the game but for some reason I felt lost through the rest of the game even though the rest of the game we’re still good it’s somewhat had an empty feeling for me that I still feel to this day whenever I play the game that something just was taken away from the rest of the game once she dies God I am hoping that with this new timeline in the remake there may be a way to save her because I don’t know if I could take that again let me stop now because I am getting emotional all over again😢
Cloud's somewhat cringey dialog aside. He talks like he's never experienced the loss of someone's death despite his hometown being burned to the ground and his mother killed by Sephiroth
@@mr.awesome6011 think it's safe to say he bonded more with Aeris tho, its a greater loss. Him and his mom seemed fine but he was always like, a standoffish teen around her, in like, the one scene they get together
when this game came out my dad was a teenager and he loved it. when remake came out i was my dad’s age, a freshman in highschool. rebirth is coming in a few weeks and now im a freshman in college and im so excited to play it. but after watching this, if i was my dad playing the original over 20 years ago i genuinely dont know if id want to continue playing the game after this scene 😭 its genuinely the saddest death ive seen in any video game or movie franchise.
this scene, this boss fight, the music, the feeling, thats so, so memorable, the atmosfere, so sad, i remember beating this boss while crying in tears...
The guide book I used for the game back then, towards the end of the book, actually spoiled that Aerith died indirectly. So I knew after a few hours in that it was going to happen. I still cried like a baby and was depressed for the next few hours. Magnificent work by Square.
A friend got the game and guidebook when the game first came out and the same thing happened. He didn't cared about Aerith the whole time because he looked too deep into the guide book accidentally spoiling it for himself. The remake to my surprise changed that though. I didn't believed him when he told me he cares about her now.
@@DigimonVids accepting the death of a loved one and learning to live with it is literally the theme that inspired the writers for FF7. We will see what happen anyway, all we can do while waiting is theorize. Smart move guys.
I loved how they executed the post jenovah fight sequence. Aeris is dead. Everyone is sad. Not one word is said. Cloud just puts her to rest in the post. No stupid expository dialog. Very well done.
The best part is that every character has a different reaction to Aerith’s death: Barret pats Cloud’s back to comfort his loss Tifa brushes Aerith’s face and cries Red XIII howls out in sadness Cait Sith dances in hopes of cheering Cloud up (doesn’t work) Cid looks up to the sky as if asking “why her” Vincent looks at both Cloud and Aerith blankly Yuffie cries in Cloud’s arm
I am conflicted if I wanted this in the remake or not. Aerith’s personality just grew on me on the remake, more than the original ever could. But her death was one of the reasons FF7 was so memorable. But I also don’t want to see her die.
Fun fact, if you die fighting Jenova Life, you WILL have to watch this scene again... I uh... I'm speaking from experience, just know that Jenova suffered an absolute massacre the second time round.
@Megidolaon999 I don't remember exactly, but I think I had my party equipped with armour that had better stats, so I didn't have any reason to use the Water Ring, it's not like I knew what Jenova Life's abilities were. SPOILERS FOR REBIRTH: No mistakes this time round, though, the game practically taunted me with Aerith's death, so Jenova just got destroyed.
Amethyst 1013 it ok man we got like three months left we can get through this *sniff* who knows maybe they will pull a kingdom heats 1.5 move where they make a new part cutscenes or boss in the game
unfortunately I don't think the first release will get this far. Would've made it more memorable, but there's probably like 10 hours of content past the remaster's plan as far as we can tell. I doubt we'll see the temple of the ancients or cosmo canyon but it's possible considering she leaves right after and Red XIII is in the shinra building rescue. Would make the remaster feel better since Bahamut is also in the temple.
@Jóia Jóia why would she die? The game takes place in midgar and ends before leaving midgar, i don’t remember the temple of the ancients being in midgar
I remember the first time I came to this fight, I had my limit saved up and I had cloud equipped with a nail bat, used my meteorain limit right when the fight started and literally every hit was a crit and the boss died on the spot, and I was never able to recreate it either, one time thing, blew my young mind lol
@@loveshiningstar yeah you can unlock Meteorain by killing 80 enemies after obtaining blade beam, which is unlock by using braver 8 times I believe, I went around farming for limit breaks and killing stuff early lol
As Aerith theme continues playing and Jenova Life appears to claim your life, you suddenly realize: Sephiroth killed Aerith. You won't forget. You won't forgive. Won't forgive. WON'T FORGIVE! SHE WAS SUCH A SWEET PERSON AND YOU KILLED HER! I'LL MAKE YOU PAY!!! And you, Jenova form! YOU. FUCKING. FIRST!
@@bojack99 Jenova can shapeshift, Yes. But this was the actual Sephiroth that kills her in the city of the ancients. And he leaves Jenova behind to fight you.
@@GuitarJester89 Incorrect. Real Sephiroth is in the cocoon in Northen Crater the whole game. First time we see real Sepgiroth is when Cloud gives him Black Materia. It's Jenova who takes Sepiroths form. But indeed, Jenova is controlled from Sephiroths mind in his crystal cocoon.
So I've only recently gotten into the game. I played the remake first tho. I knew Aerith was gonna die and when I got here on my switch, I didn't hurt as much, but it was the music playing during the battle that hit me.
this game came out two years before i was born and i didn’t play it until i was about 8 (2007) and i remember when this happened and my whole world felt like it fell apart. went through the boss fight crying my eyes out
I had Tifa in my party the first time around and it pretty much broke my young self when she broke down at the sight of Aeris after the fight with Jenova.
You should know that every fighter and spirit in Smash Ultimate is killed. They are stuck in these trials just fighting against one another and there’s no way home
It was actually almost impossible to lose, just before the fight you get the water ring which makes one character invincible. If you forgot to equip it though... you just damn well better have gotten Mighty Guard 🤣
Sephiroth was born on earth during experiments, his mom isn’t actually Jenova. I also think Hojo is the true villain of the story for all the sick shit he’s done to basically everyone
3:43 An attack called ''Anger of the land''... anger for the murder of Aerith, who cared for the land more than anyone. Sephiroth just took away nature's caretaker, and now it wants revenge.
I started playing this game again. Actually 10 years ago I bought a CD to install it on a Window XP machine. At that time I couldn't figure out a way to get through the quest. Now that I have the youtube tutorial, I still want to not complete the task. Because I want Aerith to live forever...
The fact that this entire scene, CGI, dialogue and music, was all coordinated in 1997. At the time this was the biggest plot twist in video game history, and it executed it brilliantly.
I cried when I was a child, the feeling of and sadness while fighting with Jenova to reach Aerith and try to save her... the flower girl that make me felt so warm and happy to know her and fight until the end ... she has gone. No matter the time or if this will be remastered... I will cry with this scene , with this version... always.
@@cloudstrife5137 What are you talking about? They said in an interview they will follow the original events, even if told differently and with some changes.
I knew Aeris was going to die, but I always thought she’d give her life just casting Holy to stop Sephiroth. I didn’t know that’s what she was doing here, nor did I ever expect Sephiroth to swoop in and down her. It was at that point, seeing Sephiroth’s sick smile as she guts Aeris, the innocent, sweet flower girl from the slums that I grew close to, that I loathed Sephiroth with all of my being. During the jenova fight, I didn’t give a shit about conserving mana, or strategies, or anything. I was recklessly throwing my strongest spells and attacks at Jenova in a blind rage induced by my emotions. Cloud even fainted twice during the battle. I played FF7 for the first time just today, and even as a 32 year old, I still was in shock and later fury at Sephiroth during the Jenova battle. I can safely say that no other game has made me feel this way.
You lose your friend and then you have a boss fight. I was a kid tearing up and killing this boss...lol this game was real af. i started this game not even knowing what a memory card was. But i got one finally. and beat this game slowly.
The real reason the remake is taking WAY too long to release is because the developers are stuck at this scene crying their eyes out from having to make this.
I think she will still die in the remake no changes , as you play the game we saw how barret got stab by sephiroth and would have died but those things revive him it means its not really his fate to die like in the original version , they will just add some additional twist your know when you hear the game ff7 you will clearly think about aeris in the pond was the saddest part of the game 😢😢😢😢
Awesome upload, hit me right in my pre-teen feels... but I have to say man, your fight with Jenova was painful (that Cure 2 you dropped after Red XIII got KOd was brutal)
In the end, this was Sephiroth's greatest mistake. Not only he failed to stop her from casting Holy, he also gave the planet a powerful guardian that will watch over it until the end of time. Not to mention further hardening the party's resolve to go after him.
Somebody post this to remake Reddit and title it " just finished rebirth and I'm in tears". Maybe just a screenshot of cloud saying his fingers are numb. Can't wait for the upvotes
I remember fighting this boss so clearly was so shocked n confused that when this boss fight randomly happened I just remember laying waste to jenova trying to get through
Oh this hit the feelings really hard playing this as kid in the early 2000s altgough it was brought for my older brothers birthday in 1997. I remember running to my room first time because I saw this scene as I didn't want anyone to see tears in my eyes. 😂. Fun fact. I completed ALL 3 discs at the age of 10 in 2001. Then did it twice more in the following years. This was pre Internet days as we know today. Oh the good old days 😢 ❤🤍
My niece is a gamer and she was curious to try FF7. I bought it so she can play it on her Switch. I was giving her advice when she asked for it. When she got to this part she did not say much when Aerith died. She lost it when the screen transitioned to the fight with Jenova-Life. I asked if it made an impact when the song did not change. She said “yea.” Moments like this is when I enjoy bonding with someone over a game the same way you did when it came out. I was 8 when I first played this. I am 30 now. My niece is 14 and I am proud to share this moment with her.
I was 7 or 8 when I got this game when it came out and think this might've been my first time finding out what it meant to die. I went to bed feeling empty

It is, yeah...

@@Akkumako I played the first part to the remake though

Having Aerith's theme play instead of J-E-N-O-V-A really nails in the emotional impact of her death.
It was great how they kept the song playing while you were fighting jenova, the sadness and confusion as you get thrown into the fight. I remember just wanting to slash her out of the way to get to Aeries. The sound of the spells charging. It was great.
steven Claessen so impactful I’ve always felt this as well

Finally !! someone who understands how impactful those small details were 💯💯
Yeah, the original was and always will be so much better!.... Graphics aside.
I honestly am going to be ballsy and say this is the best video game boss ever made...

It's a shame that Sephiroth's open mouth T-pose wasn't one of his victory poses for Smash. Truly a missed opportunity.

This whole scene and battle broke my heart as a youth. The music hits you hard when the battle music doesn’t kick in and it’s all Aeriths theme.
i remember losing the fight my 1st try due to the shock and confusion of what just happened
I remember completely destroying Jenova from the anger and rage of losing her. I couldn't believe it!
I'm playing FF7 for the first time, and even though I knew Aerith was gonna die, this whole part completely wrecked me. I was bawling like a baby and I can't imagine how I would have taken it when I was younger and/or playing it completely blind.

Bruh the remake is gonna kill us with this scene, i know it for a fact.
Don't think they might change it?
Idk if it's going to happen this time though
Its possible since Aerith is going to keep praying for Holy even in the lifestream
@Mardusflame nope. Thatll ruin the entire reason why FF7 exist
@Mardusflame you must be confused when you saw the "remake" in FF7. What have you learned from Resident Evil 2 remake to FF7 remake? Entertain me?

So I've only recently gotten into the game. I played the remake first tho. I knew Aerith was gonna die and when I got here on my switch, I didn't hurt as much, but it was the music playing during the battle that hit me.
this game came out two years before i was born and i didn’t play it until i was about 8 (2007) and i remember when this happened and my whole world felt like it fell apart. went through the boss fight crying my eyes out
I was the same age as you in 1997 and it hit me hard 😢
What got me the most is if you have Yuffie in your party, she falls into your arms in sadness and it got me emotional first time
Good Lord I used to think these Graphics were top-notch but they were pretty good for 1997
I still see the Characters as Roblox Characters.
This is what sephiroth meant by 7 seconds in the ff7r game.
Probably yes
2:12 Sephiroth is just standing there all gangsta waiting for someone to blow him
"So no head?"
*stabs Aerith
I had Tifa in my party the first time around and it pretty much broke my young self when she broke down at the sight of Aeris after the fight with Jenova.
This in 4k Full HD when the remake comes in... I am not ready, my body is not ready. I'm gonna fucking cry like I did back then in the 90s...
Cody will shed tears in the scene i know it!
The fact this part of the story has been recreated in a for of Aerith's Spirit Battle in Smash Bros. Ultimate is just sanity!
You should know that every fighter and spirit in Smash Ultimate is killed. They are stuck in these trials just fighting against one another and there’s no way home
@@cloudshines812 not the point I am making. If anything, it just makes Aerith’s Spirit Battle more messed up.
I’d like to imagine Vincent saying “It’s not your fault.”
Omg😭Full HD in remake💔💔💔i am not ready for this...
Imagine getting a game over at the boss and having to re-watch the scene.
This is what almost happened while recording it lol
It was actually almost impossible to lose, just before the fight you get the water ring which makes one character invincible. If you forgot to equip it though... you just damn well better have gotten Mighty Guard 🤣
Remember, the true antagonist of ff7 is a alien from outerspace not a divinity neither a god
Sephiroth was born on earth during experiments, his mom isn’t actually Jenova. I also think Hojo is the true villain of the story for all the sick shit he’s done to basically everyone
why did Sephiroth keep his mouth open like that . He's all 😮 lmao
He preaching justifying his evil deeds
It's just in the modern HD Remakes. It's a bug from the original PC version. In the ps1 version he has his mouth shut.
@@luigipunk25 i just looked that up and you're right. Thanks and here's a link for others to see
th-cam.com/video/Wx3duFYCcho/w-d-xo.html
@@eatpoopoo lmao i just noticed that
Idk but I laugh in your comment 😂
3:43 An attack called ''Anger of the land''... anger for the murder of Aerith, who cared for the land more than anyone. Sephiroth just took away nature's caretaker, and now it wants revenge.
I started playing this game again. Actually 10 years ago I bought a CD to install it on a Window XP machine. At that time I couldn't figure out a way to get through the quest.
Now that I have the youtube tutorial, I still want to not complete the task. Because I want Aerith to live forever...
9:22 saddest part of the song in my opinion
The fact that this entire scene, CGI, dialogue and music, was all coordinated in 1997. At the time this was the biggest plot twist in video game history, and it executed it brilliantly.
You act like 97 was 60 years ago, calm down zoomer.
This will be even more devastating in the remake. 😢
yeah especially cloud crying after saying what is this pain?!
My man sephi really do be hittin those t poses.
I cried when I was a child, the feeling of and sadness while fighting with Jenova to reach Aerith and try to save her... the flower girl that make me felt so warm and happy to know her and fight until the end ... she has gone.
No matter the time or if this will be remastered... I will cry with this scene , with this version... always.
Cloud: (in tears) somebody get me a goddamn Phoenix down!!!!!
I remember as a kid I used the Chocobo Summon during the battle, and the stupid sound effects killed the moment
This is going to be 10x more melancholic in the remake 😪 I hope they keep the song playing in the final boss in the remake just like this
Me too!
@@Akkumako Or maybe even she never death in this timeline
She wont die in the remake. Lol
@@cloudstrife5137 What are you talking about? They said in an interview they will follow the original events, even if told differently and with some changes.
@@CloudStrife777FF They haven't said that in that interview.
This gave me ptsd. And in advent children, I died with every flashback
Just like Cloud
Akumako: ...& that “Promised land” chant soundtrack thingy in the advent... haunts me till this day! Like my heart won’t bear it anymore!
There were a lot of battles
With every battle, there was more sadness
If this happens in the remake on part 2 i dont care how much damage im taking im killing sephiroth with his own sword!
I knew Aeris was going to die, but I always thought she’d give her life just casting Holy to stop Sephiroth. I didn’t know that’s what she was doing here, nor did I ever expect Sephiroth to swoop in and down her.
It was at that point, seeing Sephiroth’s sick smile as she guts Aeris, the innocent, sweet flower girl from the slums that I grew close to, that I loathed Sephiroth with all of my being. During the jenova fight, I didn’t give a shit about conserving mana, or strategies, or anything. I was recklessly throwing my strongest spells and attacks at Jenova in a blind rage induced by my emotions. Cloud even fainted twice during the battle.
I played FF7 for the first time just today, and even as a 32 year old, I still was in shock and later fury at Sephiroth during the Jenova battle. I can safely say that no other game has made me feel this way.
You lose your friend and then you have a boss fight. I was a kid tearing up and killing this boss...lol this game was real af. i started this game not even knowing what a memory card was. But i got one finally. and beat this game slowly.
Cloud: About to smite Aerith
Nanaki: Please stop that!
If you have Cid in the party, he curses at Cloud
This was the point everyone got shot through the feels
The real reason the remake is taking WAY too long to release is because the developers are stuck at this scene crying their eyes out from having to make this.
Wrote a lil song to this back in 97 called" WHEN AERITH DIED IT BROKE MY LITTLE HEART" still one of the saddest video game moments EVER
For me, I knew she was really dead and there was nothing I could do the moment I realized the music was still playing during the boss fight.
i've just finished rewatching crisis core and the ending of acc, then came here.
why am i hurting myself?
I love how Sephiroth has more polygons in his hair than every other character models full body.
when i play or watch this i always cry with the remake im gonna cry harder u.u
If Cloud went Berserk and started omnislashing JENOVA LIFE...
So...Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 2 has been announced...
I agree now that this scene is better than the FFVII Rebirth :(
Every single time I rewatch this scene i think that i'm not ready to see this on remake.
I think she will still die in the remake no changes , as you play the game we saw how barret got stab by sephiroth and would have died but those things revive him it means its not really his fate to die like in the original version , they will just add some additional twist your know when you hear the game ff7 you will clearly think about aeris in the pond was the saddest part of the game 😢😢😢😢
8:00 the time you're like - i should have used that limit break lol.
An emotional scene no doubt, but as a kid I couldn't help but think: isn't her body going to just get all bloated and float back to the top?
Awesome upload, hit me right in my pre-teen feels... but I have to say man, your fight with Jenova was painful (that Cure 2 you dropped after Red XIII got KOd was brutal)
Who else cried like a baby when her material hit the ground and the music started playing back then
Sephiroth: Do not worry, for the Promised Land await for those who are worthy enough to-
Cloud: *Shut the fuck up. Please, shut the fuck up*
I bet in the remake everyone will be there to say there goodbyes to Aerith
In the end, this was Sephiroth's greatest mistake.
Not only he failed to stop her from casting Holy, he also gave the planet a powerful guardian that will watch over it until the end of time.
Not to mention further hardening the party's resolve to go after him.
Actually it was Jenova, in the OG the real Sephiroth is the one you found in the Northern Crater.
@@CDJaramillo92 It was Jenova controlled by Sephiroth's WILL, the developers answered this clearly.
Somebody post this to remake Reddit and title it " just finished rebirth and I'm in tears".
Maybe just a screenshot of cloud saying his fingers are numb. Can't wait for the upvotes
My mans had to pause halfway through to wipe his tears lmao
Not what happened but I'll say it is now lmao
I remember fighting this boss so clearly was so shocked n confused that when this boss fight randomly happened I just remember laying waste to jenova trying to get through
i was so flustered that i actually wound up losing on my 1st try
Jenhova life... the Squaresoft employers has a weird sense of humor XD
then she is no longer in your party like fuck she really is gone
I’m not ready for this in the remake. But they better play the song while battling at least.
At the last turn you were almost close of being KO'd at least you had Cloud's final limit.
yup! during next bosses it'll be the same but with Vincent. ^^
and thanks for the comment mate !
You're welcome~
Not sure if you like advice but try to get at least regan if you can (or you already).
+Tatters I already finished the game, at least I killed sephiroth. I have it but never used it. But it's gonna be useful against weapons I think! xP
3:16 I can't be the only one who times the music like this on every playthrough... right?
Don't you just love the fact sephiroth's mouth is open when it shouldn't be. He is like.. ermergeerrd! I am geerrrd! Until the end that is
Cloud: *grieving*
Sephiroth: "OOOOOOOOOOOOOO"
@@ballisticboo7808 haha love it
If it comes to this in the remake, they better not have us fight some boss. Because I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT HAPPENS!!!!!!
*Cloud summoning Bahamut while crying*
Oh this hit the feelings really hard playing this as kid in the early 2000s altgough it was brought for my older brothers birthday in 1997. I remember running to my room first time because I saw this scene as I didn't want anyone to see tears in my eyes. 😂. Fun fact. I completed ALL 3 discs at the age of 10 in 2001. Then did it twice more in the following years. This was pre Internet days as we know today. Oh the good old days 😢 ❤🤍
I played this game in 2018, and I (somehow) had no idea going into it that Aerith died, and I was absolutely heartbroken.
My niece is a gamer and she was curious to try FF7. I bought it so she can play it on her Switch. I was giving her advice when she asked for it. When she got to this part she did not say much when Aerith died. She lost it when the screen transitioned to the fight with Jenova-Life. I asked if it made an impact when the song did not change. She said “yea.” Moments like this is when I enjoy bonding with someone over a game the same way you did when it came out. I was 8 when I first played this. I am 30 now. My niece is 14 and I am proud to share this moment with her.
😌😌😌🤝🤝👍👍👍 good job
i brought tifa and barret with me when i fought jenova life. both of them stopped me from almost killing aerith
I'm not ready for Aerith by FF 7 REBIRTH
she''s not going to die! however in zack's timeline?
We all gonna see aerith's death in HD
Maybe yes, maybe no.
Daz Ediss I think cloud will die and Zack will take over for the rest of the game. Then come back in the end somehow
Daz Ediss lol oh man that would be insane.
@@ademon4908 Nope nope nope nope. Expecting Cloud, practically the face of the franchise, to die is bordering on delusion.
@Daz Ediss he will try to save her, but she will accept her death to save the planet.
Imagine watching Aertih die as a 9 years old in 1997.
I didn't see that coming.
This scene in the game was just as sad as Leonardo DiCaprio death in Titanic.
Funny but fair comparison. I could quote a few more.
Akumako and probably better ones as well
I know ur pain very depressing movie
I was 7 or 8 when I got this game when it came out and think this might've been my first time finding out what it meant to die. I went to bed feeling empty
