Oh right! Sorry, duh! I completely got the wrong end of the stick. So you meant reviving as in raising Aeris from the dead!

I took reviving as in using a character from an old game in a new game, eg X2 and DoC! Thats what I was refering to lol!

The idea of reviving her from the dead can be seen as meh idea. Zombie Aeris lol!

It still wont work. SE can't do that or they will completely destroy The FF7 franchise, Imagine after that.
Cloud: Aerith! Im on low HP! Heal me!
Aerith: Okay! *Uses best limit break*
Sephiroth: What?!?! I can't hurt cloud! Nooooooooo!
*Clous hits Sephiroth*
*Sephiroth dies*
Cloud: YAY! we killed sephiroth! Aerith, Im gonna marry you and we now have stuffed up the FF7 franchise!
Everyone: YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!
Vincent: It's about time I had a break...

Keep in mind that if Aerith didn't die, her final limit, if anyone of them, would not be as useful as it is.

However, the concept of Great Gospel causing everyone to talk like they're in a 3rd grade play amuses me.

If aerith was revived no-one could criticise cloud for being into necrophelia

Oh, they'd do it anyways. This is the internet, good sir.

Also, One reason why FF7 is so dramatic is because after bonding you and the characters so much you would cry during that scene. take away the scene and the game becomes terrible. so Square would never do it because then people who play it after watching the move say "so? she comes back anyway." and they recommend it to less people. then SE doesn't get enough money and loses a franchise.
In all actual fact you could give FF7 its own Series XD

I understand what you've been saying, Orichalcon... In the strict sense of reviving her to a permanent stauts of being alive, I cannot say I would like that. Her sacrifice was intended to be a very final ending to her life, and that allowed her to help Cloud and the gang so much more later on (FF:AC) than if she had still been alive...

Imagine if one of your close friends died, then suddenly came back a few years later? How freakin' weird would that be if they were just.. back? I understand that this is set in a game world, but the characters themselves are designed and written to have realistic personalities.... and I think that is one thing that wouldn't work, story-wise. I cannot think of a way to remove the awkwardness of the conversations they'd have... "So, how was living in the lifestream? Was it like, totally awesome when you made it rain on the whole city? I was amazed... yeah."

But as for what COULD work.... Maybe a short story written from Cloud's perspective where meets Aerith in a way similar to that seen in FF:AC. I am sure they could find a way to explain how a meeting could take place and let them have more than a few seconds to talk to each other. Maybe them jumping into the Lifestream itself would work, I dunno. But I don't see how the world would allow the literal physical body to return, even if for a short time.

All of this is assuming that Aerith wants to come back. The ending of FF:AC made me think she felt all her work was complete and it was time to move on for good.

That would be great

If she came back that would the game better for me anyway. I always wished that Tifa had died a not Aeris.

It would took Cloud like an hour to get over her lol

well if you read MoTP, it sure sounded like she wanted to be alive, so she could comfort cloud and all that jazz. she said that she would have comforted him and whatnot, had she not been the last remaining cetra with a mission she knew had to be completed.

Even in a dream scenario, or Cloud in the Lifestream, or something... having Cloud and Aeris' relationship resolved and everything explained and put to terms just detracts from the great drama and conflict of the FFVII-verse.
