Aeris = TOO Powerful?

Considering she wasn't even at full power when she croaked, it would be really interesting to see the power of the other centra. Kinda makes you wonder how Ilfana managed to die in the hands of a lab rat.
 
Alas like most mages, Ilfana proberbly didnt have the physical strength or DEF to stop the attack that eventually killed her. Not that we know for sure what exactly killed her. We just given hints. We assume how she died.
 
I heard that there was supposed to be a way to save her, but the PSone came out early, so the game was rushed... But I don't know if that's true, I just heard it somewhere...
 
I think if there were a way to save her, it would have ruined the plot.
 
I guess so, it kinda added to the realism of the game for one of tha main characters to die...
 
I was in love with Aeris from the moment she was first seen in the game (no not in love like that !!!) but there was just something about her, so I did build her up, she was brilliant and her limit breaks allowed me to kill alot more things with ease, not just bosses but the bigger little things too ... enabling me to also level up the other team members quickly

Lol. But to be honest, I knew every single thing about FFX before it came out. ^_^

Really? I knew almost nothing about FF10 before I played it, but I knew a little too much about FF7.

Yeah, she was an Ancient, so it's reasonable for her to be so powerful. Looking back, the game probably would have been a lot easier had she remained alive, but then the story wouldn't have made a lot of sense, so. I only had up to Breath of the Earth when I first played through, so I tended to stick with her Level 1 Limit Breaks.
 
I have to admit Aeris, I never thought of it that way. It kinda does
seem that she is powerful when she gets her level 3-4 limits. I have
to give you a thumbs up for looking at it that way. She was actually
strong as a mage, but I never got up to her level 3-4 limits, cause
I didn't have the patience.
 
i think that they should have made her first Level 2 limit break Fury Brand - as it's actually useful.

And if you think about it logically if you trained Aeris to her level 4 limit break it wouldnt be too illogical to say you could defeat most of the disk 1&2 bosses with ease - if only she had stuck around in disk 2 :(
 
If you're into magic heavy characters, then yes Aeris is powerful. Her limit breaks are the most useful.

However, I'm a purely physical oriented person, and she's dead last in that department.

FFVII was made in a way that anyone could be a great mage. Which is why I didn't care for Aeris gameplay-wise. Her limit breaks are useful, but the game is so easy that they're not even needed.

Enemy Skill is the best materia you can get. Put that on anyone and they'll be great mages, healers, magic attackers.
 
I said no that she isn't "too" powerful. Of course her limits are quite useful for your parties recovery, but she wasn't too strong toward the enemies.
 
If you put her in the front line she actually does pretty good damage. I always give her long reach materia.
I'm somewhat of a new player to FFVII and I didn't understand what front line meant till I figured it out and I did put her in front line and she does good damage now. Thanks for the tip! ;)

I'll still say, she's not "too" powerful, but she is strong.
 
A Mage Person in a game where everyone is a mage?
BLASPHEMY.

Aeris sucked.
 
Hmmm, Tough One, I Never Really Used Aeris First Time Round Because She Was Weak And Didn't Really Come Up To The Standards That I Needed Her At, And It Doesn't Help That I Ran Through Most Of This Game First Time Round B ecause I Wanted To See What Happend At The End. (I was 7! Gimme A Break! ^_^)
 
when i mean too powerful im on about her limit breaks - and how amazingly powerful they are. they are very easy to obtain in Disk one and you could use them for some of the toughest battles in disk one. but imagine having her final limit breaks in other disks?

Great Gospel VS Super Nova?

just watch this video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1f_BwkCwSuI

Super Nova 0
Great Gospel 1
 
Why are you so angry, my friend?
-It's pretty obvious they gave her moves like Great Gospel because of the fact that she dies, so shes very useful until shes not usable.
 
shes useful in annoying the shit out of me. u have to agree that leveling a character u know is gonna die is a waste of time. im just so sick of people drooling over her. like seriously she chases sephiroth with a fucking stick by herself and people are surprised and amazed by her death? half the idiot fan boys who claim to be sensitive and in love w/ aeris go on final fantasy porn sites and jerk to tifa. its ridiculous.
One more time...watch the language...please. Your excessive foul language is unnessessary and many people may find it offensive. Also we have younger members here who are trying to enjoy the forums and we do not need the F-word dropped evert other sentence here.
