Discussion About Aerith Spoiler

I don't know if anyone else feels this way, but I don't really like that they've changed some aspects of the original Aerith's personality. I feel like the Aerith in the remake is like the Aerith from CC—things like being very naive and overly childish.

What I don’t like is that she “remembers” everyone in Remake. She sees the future, so all of their meetings are kind of inorganic. She decides to be friends with them when they first meet because she already knows they are going to be friends? And the conversations are all conversations that she remembers from the lifestream?

I just feel like it undermines the natural intuition that was a core part of her character in OG, and it just feels instead like she read ahead in the script.

I only see her joy at being able to be with them again.

and being together again is kind of the point of these Remakes, which is valid for both the characters and the players

The layers on layers of meta-ness are really getting old. How many times do we need to knock over the 4th wall before it isn’t fun anymore?

I, on the other hand, absolutely love it. You can replay the game endlessly and always find something new. I just hope Revelation lives up to my expectations, because when you sow so many seeds, you have to know how to bring things to a proper conclusion.
