Aerith was really the only character they could have killed because if they killed anyone else it wouldn't have worked because Aeris was the only remaining Ancient and non of the other characters would have ben able to save the world at the end

Yes, that is true on the basis of the storyline, however in this thread, we're discussing whether killing any other character would render the scene as powerul, as effective, you're meant to disregard the storyline here

Yeah, Adamant pretty much nailed this one. 'God from the Machines' she was, once you think about it.
btw, Cloud didn't sob over Aerith's corpse. Nope. Didn't. He probably cried, yeah (awwwwwwwww, poooor cloudy....) but no sobbing.
Yeah, Aeris was pretty much the candidate because she was a Cetra and she had it for a blonde dude. Now, if we've learned anything about the FF series, it's gotta be if you're blonde or are hot for the blonde, you're screwed. Disaster. Tradgedy. Death. Yeah, blond is not something you want to be in FF.
Well, Tifa had it for the Nazi too right? So why didn't she get it instead? Easy. She wasn't a Cetra. See, Aerith was doubly doomed because she liked the blond and was Special (with a capital 'S') and we all know that Special people get the most bullets flying their way. But in this case it was a long-haired pretty boy with a sword. >_>
Ahem...
In any case, Tifa couldn't be knocked out like that! No way! Whose gonna save Cloudy's butt (or mind, whichever you want, but they're truly interchangable for Cloud) when he gets the few lights he had knocked clean out of the spiky head of his? Aeris ain't gonna, she's marked for death! Yup, Tifa.
Btw, I wouldn't call Aeris the 'most innocent, pure' creature to walk the earth. Once you think about it, blasting monsters with your virginity isn't really the most effective weapon there is. Which may be why she died. Anywho, I'd say Tifa was just a kind as Aeris. In fact, wasn't Aeris really insensitive when they first got the the Golden Saucer, when Barret was really upset and Aeris persisted in playing games, despite Tifa's misgivings? Yeah.... she was.... And think about this: Aeris makes a living selling 'flowers' on the streets of a shady neighborhood at exorbitent prices to complete strangers. Innocent...... hmmmmmmm. Maybe she could teach the Nazi she likes a thing or two.
Well, anyways, let that be food for thought. Btw, I'd like to see what'd happen if they killed off Mr. T. We've all established here that the most prime candidates were those closest to Cloud, right? Well, Barret has a date scene with Cloud, no? Ah.... you see my train of thought. If Cloud really did break down and just snap and sob over Barrets limp body, grasping that cybernetic hand, I think it'd show who Cloud really had it for.....
okay, I'm done.
