She would be useless if she had lesser spells. Her abilites were evened out between the time of gaining her and the time of her...departure in the game.

I just started a new file and honestly I only used her when I had to. I have gotten her limit level all the way up in previous games though...and her limits were pretty awsome.

yup fully levelled she is too powerfull, but i never use her anyway.

Aeris obviously has "superior stats" for a significant reason. She's an Ancient. Although that alone could quite possibly be enough for the argument, the fact that she dies off early is another reason for her power. Like mentioned before, not many people are going to train Aeris up because they either probably already know she's going to be killed off anyway, or that she's too much of a whiny fag to bother with in the first place. I think this "power" she has was implemented later, as a sort of...bonus reward for the nerd who actually bothered to max her out.

Besides, there's no way you could have her powered up long enough before she died to obtain a full orgasm from it anyway, so I don't see what the whole fuss was about.

IMO, Aeris was one of the best characters in FF7. I honestly never put that theory of yours to thought, Aeris G. But it seems like a very fit theory. Aeris was one of my main characters (Cloud, Aeris, Red XIII/Cid) up until that tragic moment. I'm actually a level up freak, so I was able to take full advanges of all of Aeris' limit breaks as early as Kalm, so I fully appreciate the convinience of her limit breaks. That said I'll back up your theory simply by saying this, if you keep Aeris at level 2 limit, & in the fury state, imagine how simple it would be to constantly fill up your limit breaks & bombard the enemies with attacks like Omnislash, Highwind, etc. for the whole game, even the almighty WEAPONS would drop before you like mear flies.
