When i first played FF7 i actually got on the date with Tifa. I didnt really mind though. And then i saw aeris die, and i was surprised and such. I replayed FF7 many times and every since then i always used and picked the right thing to say to Aeris, knowing she was going to die. I wanted to make her short time alive, happy (yes i know its just a video game). But I want to know, did YOU use aeris up til she died and cherished her before she died OR did you avoid using her and wasting your time knowing she was going to die??
 
I leveled and used her more than most of the other characters =D
Well, only because I liked her character... And don't you have to be rly rly mean to Aerith to date Tifa? >.o
 
I think I got Tifa for the date first time round, then after that, I always had Aerith because I'm a Clerith...haha, the shame...

As for using her in my party, I'd get her to learn Seal Evil, and generally just leave it at that, I could beat Aps easier with that.....or was it Rapps...? That dude at Wutai that Don Corneo makes you fight and sodding Yuffie steals all your materia

I generally just level her enough so she is usable lol
 
Well on my first playthrough, naturally I didn't know she was going to die, so I was a bit surprised about that. I had used her the same times that I used my other characters, leveling her up pretty high and all that.

On my second playthrough, knowing what was coming up, I still leveled her up and used her as many times as I did my other characters. So yes, I suppose you could say I cherished her character. I didn't feel like I was wasting my time, to be honest.
 
Knowing that she was going to die, just made the date scene with Aeris ...better emotionally.
"Aeris will no longer talk, no longer laugh, cry...........or get angry......"
 
it really meant you could appreciate the emotion behind it instead of just having the shocked tears that i had. and i am a guy. you dont have to be really mean to aeris to date tiaf only say a few wrong things. you have to be really wimpy in front of tifa and be mean to aeris to get a yuffie date though, that and run and steal a hell of alot of times in batttles also she is the only girl you can let on your team up to the date part... you can also date barret, god knows what twisted person wanted that to happen! i cherished her character first time round and second, then i found yuffie on the first disc... and well, bye bye aeris. i still didnt like her dying though... i still cry sometimes thinking about it
 
I kept her active everytime I played, because of the Demon Gate boss, didn't want to neglect using her and having her really wimpy in that fight.
 
i hated that fight... took me 6 attempts to defeat, probably due to insufficient aeris training
 
It was pretty a pretty tricky fight the first few times I played through it.

I was round my mates the other day while he was fighting it, he killed it with no problem what-so-ever, a Limit Break from Cloud, then a Limit Break from Red, job done. We were both sat there staring at the screen in disbelief, then both said at the same time "didn't that used to be harder?" lol
 
spooky... that might be why it didnt work for me i had low level cloud, i had worked on levelling yuffie and tifa higher than cloud so i let him die.. alot. anyway, i had aeris, low level and cait sith, i never used him anyway and i thought it would be a good idea... then the whole materia thing transpired and it was a good idea after all...
 
I really didnt like her, even though i trained her as much as everyone else ( for the above mentioned Demon Gate fight), i mostly had the fighters; Cloud, Tifa and Cid/or/Vincent, just cause of their final limits.

Aeris's (aerith's?) death was emotional and surprised me the first time I played it ( I was only 8 or 9! ) but I was not bothered by it at all cause I hadnt pllanned to use her that much, and I'd rather it was her than anyone else
 
I definitely used Aeris because she was uber useful in the Demon Gate fight. I also liked her character and I knew she was gonna die so I thought the best thing I could do would be to use her while she was around.
 
lol i didnt use aerith at all during the game D: knowing that she was gonna die... i replaced her =)
 
Funnily enough, I did exactly the same thing and chose to go on the date in the Gold Saucer with Aeris instead, I felt terribly guilty otherwise. But I never used her in battle, she was weak, and didn’t have many good attacks. Her “Healing Wind” limit break was good though.
 
I actually kept her in my team along with Barret or Vincent when I got him. I actually managed to level up my entire team to 50 before she died (500 Hours playing lol)
 
I pitied her a great deal. I guess it was because I was really ' into ' the game. xD Well, hell, I know it was just a game - but still - I felt a big hole, inside of myself, after the character died. Sure, she wasn't the best - annoying, at times weak, and some of the things she said I didn't really like - but all those wrong things, about her, just made her seem more human to me. I guess there was just some instant connection, when seeing her image after the starry sky ( During the opening FMV ) , that really made me like her. During the rest, of the game, I was on a mission of revenge - not just for Nibelheim, or for the Planet, it was for Aeris too.
 
I really didn't do anything different. I hardly used Aeris because she just wasn't the type of character i like using throughout the game. I knew she was going to bite the dust early, but I mainly used Tifa as my main female character in the party.
 
probably use aeris up til she died and cherished her before she died, cause when i was playing that game my brother told me everything, he told me that Aerith is going to die... so i used aerith as hard as i can...

Easy way to win that fight is to put everyone in the back row and cure a lot, you can win at almost any level by doing this since it more than halves most of it's attacks.

Back on topic: I hated that I wasted time training her and then she bit the dust. However at the same time I felt that her dying was depressive (on my first play through) since she was one of few truly "right" characters in the story.
