How would they show Aerith's death in a remake?

If FFVII were remade I don't see Aries' death as being a particularly big issue. They could definitely make the scene a lot more emotionally moving though, with more realistic facial animations.

Well maybe if you had played Crisis Core, you'd see all the blood on the stairs Cloud was losing during the Nibelheim reactor scene. You'd also see
all the blood all over Zack as he was dying. In FFVII: Advent Children Complete, the extended scene with Sephiroth shows him stabbing Cloud right through the gut and holding him in the air on his sword and then slashing his arms, legs and Cloud bleeds, A LOT.
So I'm sorry but I disagree with you. I think Aerith's death would be portrayed highly emotional and not too gory but enough to make you realize she's human, she's bleeding and she's really going to die because she's such an important character. So in truth, I think they would make it a 'big issue' because the graphics are a lot different now than in the original. You never saw any blood from any sword cuts in that game, including when Sephiroth slashed Tifa across her chest.

Oh no, I agree, to a certain extent. What I mean by "big issue" is that I don't think it would be hard for them to translate her death on to the PS3. Although, portraying realistically explicit death scenes in their games isn't something that Square is particularly renowned for. They tend to shy away from the gruesomeness of blood and gore in their games, probably because they want to keep the certificate rating of the game low making it accessible to the widest audience. Advent Children was a stand alone movie and I don't think Square even had a hand in developing it (although I could be mistaken). Okay, a few drops of blood was shown in FFVII, but I can't see Square realistically emulating a death scene in their games anytime soon, especially since it would inevitably raise the rating of the game and subsequently lose them cash from younger gamers.
 
It would probably be really gore filled with blood, I mean she gets stabbed in the heart, how could they not? A remake would make me more sad than the original I think, seeing her lifeless body fall into Clouds arms so Friggin sad :sorry: But they'd probably make sephy look really crazy and demonic. It would be a scary situation.
 
I think there will be a LOT of added blood if the game was remade, probably not horror-movie level but considering what they can do with the PS3 I can see that being added in, maybe a large patch of blood on Aerith's chest, blood splatters, Sephiroth's sword with blood going down the blade, maybe Aerith coughing up blood too etc. It may sound gruesome, but all of the above would probably happen in a realistic situation imo. I'm personally wondering about stuff like the bloodstained Shinra building etc as well, and how they show blood effects there.
 
Due to the graphics and the realism they have, they would have to show blood in my opinion, I pretty much agree with what most people have said. And pretty much like everyone else has said, they will probably or should use as little blood as possible, too much would make the grossness outweigh the emotion. But who knows? They might be able to get away with quite a bit of blood,
Zack's death was pretty gruesome but it the scene still had a lot of emotion in it
sooo...we'll just have to wait and see, really.

EDIT: Wait and see if they'll even make a remake for that matter :P
