Should there be an Aerith Revival Route (known as エアリス生存ルート in the Japanese fandom)?
This is a very big deal to a lot of Japanese fans, more so than most Western fans are aware of. Of course there are the fans that don't want this, too, but it seems like tug-o-war right now. I'm not sure where I stand on the issue just yet. I'd like to read everyone's thoughts and use your opinions to help bring me to my conclusion.
So to start,
* Do you think Nojima, Kitase, and Nomura will bring Aerith back or provide an alternate route where she can live?
* Would you like for Aerith to be brought back to life or allowed to live?
* Would Aerith still have a purpose in the story if she lived?
I know this is bound to get heated but try not to let the discussion get personal. Please no insults or snide remarks. This is just a game we're talking about so don't take things people say either against or for the idea as a personal attack. Have fun.
According to My Navi, 444 of its readers were asked if they had played Final Fantasy VII. Out of that, 89 said, “yes.” That’s not a huge sample by any stretch, but the site then asked them what they wanted in the game. Here are the top five answers, with the percentage of those that answered:
5. Enhancing or improving Yuffie Kisaragi’s scenes - 9 percent
4. Enhancing or improving the game’s ending - 11.2 percent
3. Full voice acting - 13.5 percent
2. Adding more mini-games in the Gold Saucer - 20.2 percent
1. Adding an Aeris lives “route” (or storyline) - 32.6 percent
