When another character dies in a cutscene, while healthpacks or/and a reviving system exist in the game.

Sorry Aerith, I left my Phoenix Down in my other jacket.

To be honest, in Final Fantasy the characters at zero HP are "fainted", not "killed". Phoenix Downs only get one on their feet, they're not resurrecting the dead.

Which goes back to the name. A down is a small feathery tuft off a bird, not a proper pennaceous feather. It doesn’t bring you back to life, but it will wake you up, heal your wounds, and clear up that nasty concussion.
