The Famous Aeris/Aerith Scene-Without the Music *Spoilers*


(Just a Note- I will be referring FF7's beloved Flower Girl as Aeris, and not Aerith)

I know that Aeris's death has received much discussion and emotional tributes on the web-it is often considered as the saddest moment in video game history, it marked one of the most transcendental moments in many people's childhoods, and it definitely earns the distinction one of the most memorable scenes in the entire game.

Yet I recently came across this video that replays the scene, except it excludes the music of Aeris's theme. I never thought I would say it, but...Wow. The scene seemed to take on an even deeper level of impact and poignancy than the original.

To anyone interested-here is the link to the video. Does anyone out there share my same sentiments of this scene being all the more powerful and heart-rending without the music? Or do yo feel that the original scene with the music is still more powerful and resonating?

Thank-you, and I apologize if this topic has been breached upon already!

I cried my eyes out during this scene when I was around 12/13.
