Aerith & Sephiroth - A closer look - Page 2

April 15, 2007, 8:04 PM

There is some artwork done by Amano during early stages of development that lend credence to this, the site is down now but ATMA'S Final fantasy GALLERY (adunaph3l.net/atma) has most of amano's works on display. In it's final fantasy VII section it has a piece of artwork that depicts Aerith resting on Sephiroth's shoulder and several others pieces of the two together.

Here is the picture I saved onto my PC

Notice the how unusually happy both of them look.

You should be able to see the rest when the website starts working again.

I'm not sure if this is true but Zack was actually the main character of FF7 i think but the designer didn't think his hair made him stand out enough so they used Cloud's hair instead. Once again i only heard about it.

The lover idea would be great...if it were a book...but...
I doubt that teen audiences would feel the romance.
So they were right in thinking that it was too extreme.

Aww, why'd they have to drop the brother & sister idea?

That would've worked so well. That brings in the parentage though. To which mix of Gast, Ifalna, Hojo & Lurecia would they have been born? Or maybe they'd just have the same father or something... If Sephiroth killing his sister is too extreme for people, well they shouldn't really be playing games then should they? It's no more extreme than him killing someone he doesn't know

It would have been more difficult if aerith was sephiroths sister.. i mean in the story line.. dont you think so?

That would complicate things a lot.Mostly becouse ti would be wierd that sephirot and aeris are family.TO tell the truth it wouldn't make any sence.
But if they were lovers it could have been that sephirot got jelouse of cloud ro somethin and got rid of her...

Here is the other Amano piece of Aerith with Sephiroth.

Notice how calm Aerith looks despite the massive sword. Odd, considering what happens.

Despite the obvious similarities let me assureyou, this is not Setzer. Here is the Final Fantasy VII gallery I found it in.

No way, I don't think the lovers thing would fly in a game. Like I said, that stuff belongs in a book; it's too complicated for the teenage fanbase.

Brother and sister would have been fairly catchy, but it would ruin Sephiroth's wackjob personality. His false understanding of where he came from is what makes him such a lunatic. Making him Aerith's brother would just make him power hungry and not nuts.

I kinda like that idea. Hmm....*pictures Aeris as a demon* Interesting...but then the song would change from One Winged Angel to something like Hells Couple....or something like that.

That would be pretty emotional for Cloud too. Not a bad idea at all.
