That entire scene is so epic, I only paid attention to Goofy "dying" for like, five seconds. I knew he couldn't die, because it would be too awkward only having two party members, and angry parents around the world would attack Disney/Square-Enix if Goofy actually died.
Then again, they could've replaced Goofy with someone like Squall... mmm. :]
