I think this moment really surprised me. Aeris’s death didn’t affect me as much as it should have because I played through the REST of the game CONVINCED she was going to come back to life any minute. What DID get me with Aeris was that last shot of her, paralleling the first shot from the game, and the realization…

Unusual to see this one before Aeris’s death. This moment gave me some sniffles, but I couldn’t play the game for a few days after she died.

Music still to this day chokes me up.

....so does a lot of that music actually. It was basically the game that defined my youth. Such a goddamn classic.

Final Fantasy VII when Red XIII learns the truth about his father. I was a freshman in high school and I bawled like a small child.
