Below are some of the rumours that I have
found for Aeris.If you have got any others,email me and I will put them
up.If you manage to prove any of them,tell me and I will give you the credit
you deserve....
Saving Aeris
To keep aeris alive,you must have each character, including Yuffie and
Vincent, at level 99. Before Aeris dies, Cloud will confront Sephiroth
himself and she will live.
Result : FALSE
Aeris' Spirit
Aeris' spirit can return in the Midgar church. To stand next to Aeris
after her death, you must be as nice to her as possible. Obtain the key
to Midgar's Sector 5 and Aeris' spirit will appear in the church. Quickly
run up to it, and the spirit will disappear to re-emerge adjacent the
two children. You can then be next to her.
Result : TRUE
Tifa getting Killed
Tifa can be killed by Sephiroth instead of Aeris. Be mean to Tifa, and
when Aeris is about to die, Tifa will appear and push Aeris out of Sephiroth's
way. Tifa will be hit instead.
Result : FALSE
To revive Areis the first
thing you gotta do is talk to an old man near Aeris's house (you gotta
do this when cloud is escourting her home)He will ask you if you know
were the wall market is answer yes. Also in order to revive her you need
to be very nice to her throughout the game. Ok next you gotta get to the
part when you are serching for the huge materia (cloud has to be with
you)You gotta go to Junon to do that submarine battle,but before that
run around the aqua tunnel until you fight a ship with a skelaton on the
front. You gotta morph this guy into a guide book.Then finish the submarine
thing.After you are done with thatgo to kalm and talk to the old adventerer
in one of the houses (hes on the second floor)He will tell you the stuff
he needs to start his journey then talk to him again and trade the guide
book for the underwater materia. Now do the last huge materia thing. After
that is done go get the sector 5 key in the excavation site (bone village)
if you cant find it keep going through the game and come back later.Ok
now you have the key go back to midgar and back to the slums near Aeris's
house talk to the old man again and he will ask you to go get him something
from the wall market go get it. When you get him what he wants he will
reward you with the "Revive P" materia. Now its time to revive Aeris!!!!
Go to the hut that leads to the place were sepiroth killed her a fish
will be blocking the way. "Talk" to the fish and it will teleport you
to Areis revive her with the revive p materia and she will open her eyes.
She will then teleport back to the place were cloud and her first met.
Go there and talk to her she will join your party once again. ( if she
is not at the church when she teleports you had been mean to her in the
game and she will not be able to join you)

100 Tissues
Just what do you do with all those tissues you win from battle square
which you fought so hard for? Well, according to one little rumours, if
you have 100 you can go to Mideel after it gets destoyed and give a tissue
to one of the women there. She will use all 100 and tell you how to ressurect
Aeris.
Result : :Unproven
Bone Village Trick
.First or all, you have to give Cloud the Buster sword and take away all
of his materia, go to Bone Village before you go to the Temple of the
Ancients, dig up the lunar harp, go into the sleeping forest and get the
Kjata summon, and give it to Cloud. Make it the only materia he has equipped.
Go back to bone village, get the Midgar Key, and go to the church in the
slums, stand on the flower bed and something will happen, once it happens,
go to the Temple of the Ancients, keep aeris in your party at all times
here, do the whole thing, and once Cloud goes outta control and gives
sephiroth the black materia, you will have that dream, once u wake up
go to Bone Village once again, in the sleeping forest, aeris should be
there. IMPORTANT: Do not do the Wutai sub quest until the 2nd disc (after
Aeris dies). This trick will allow Aeris to speak after she dies.

Revisting the Burial Site
To PROPERLY ressurect Aeris. First you need to have her #3 limit break.
She also must have it on before she leaves your party to go to the Sleeping
Forrest. Then you need to Master the Revive Materia, as well as obtain
Aeris ultimate weapon The parasol. In order to get this weapon you have
to basically shoot ALL the targets. You need at least 3000 or more points
to win. Then equip Cloud with the Mastered Revive Materia. And go to the
Forgotton City. Go to the pond that Aeris was laid in and if you do this
properly Aeris should appear rising out of the water and joining your
group. My sources say that the trick works. The only tricky part is getting
her Ultimate weapon. I'm pretty sure that you have to do this on the second
disk.
Result : Unproven
Nightfall
It is said you can see her one last time using the items won from the
weapons to induce nightfall upon the forgotten capital and get past Mr.
Fish.
Result : FALSE
Black Materia
When you are giving back the Black materia to Sephiroth at the Temple
of the Ancients, talk to him as much as you can when Cloud is shaking.
Then Sephiroth should take the Black Materia, BUT he wouldn't kill Aeris.
Result : Unproven
The Piano Theory
It is believed that by playing Aeris' theme on the piano in the Shinra
mansion you can make her ghost appear. It is also believed that after
her ghost appears, you can talk to her and she will follow you out of
the house to the Ancient City, and her spirit can re-enter her body...thus,
she is revived! You can hear the Aeris theme near her house in Midgar,
but it's long, I haven't been able to form notes from it.
Result : Unproven
The Classic Process
This was probably one of the first revival processes to get out
First off, you must be nice to Aeris throughout the game whenever you
have a choice. When you come to the old man in the pipe in Midgar, you
supposedly can let Aeris care for him to make him feel better. You later
see a sad scene of the man dying. After Aeris' death, go back to midgar
and by this time you should have found a YELLOW underwater materia orb,
not the blue one. You talk to the man outside the pipe, anonymously called
the "General", and he says how sad he is that that "nice
girl" died. He says he may be able to help you, and sends you to
Wall Market to pick up a Revival potion. You take it to Aeris' grave to
bring her back. This rumor was later denied by the creator himself, a
supposed Square employee.
THIS IS THE EXACT THINGS THIS SO CALLED
SQUARESOFT EMPLOYEE SAID!!!!!!Oh no. They did it. I wouldn't have known,
because I had access to the full set of FF7 info... but they did. I guess
this means that I should have actually played through things to see if
anything had changed, instead of getting tired of the game after translation
purposes. I think everyone is gonna kill me for my insolence, because
I really should have played through the game more fully before I said
anything to make sure it was still possible. Throughout the past few weeks,
I, myself, have been wondering why people were having such a hard time
reviving Aeris, because according to everything I saw through the scenario
translation process, it could be done fairly easily. Here's the Aeris
revival process, in full. First off, throughout the game, you must make
the logical choice of things to say to Aeris to indicate that you like
her. You must never hurt her in any way by choice. What happens in scenarios,
however, cannot be avoided (Aeris' beating by Cloud, for instance). Also,
with the sick man. There is no medicine, but you could have Aeris tend
to him and make him feel better, by learning about her heritage and returning
to Midgar in the first CD. By doing this, the "GENERAL" as people
call him, would trust you, and request you go buy his dying friend something
from the store. A simple quest. After doing so, the GENERAL would tell
you thanks, and that if there was anything else you need ever, to ask
him for help. You then see a scene with his friend dying. A sad scene.
:( Now, continue through the game as normal, and after Aeris dies, go
on to the second CD. Once here, return to Midgar with the key from CD1,
and the GENERAL will ask you where the nice girl (Aeris) is. You explain
that she has died, by Sephiros, and that there is no hope in reviving
her. There would be a chance, but only if you could go deep under the
waters of the floating castle (where Aeris died). The GENERAL would tell
you that he thinks he may be able to help, and to come back later. After
this meeting, you were to go on to Aeris' church, where there would be
a long scene with her spirit. If you had been nice to her, she would express
a desire to return to help you. After doing this, return to the GENERAL,
who would provide you with a Yellow materia that allowed the entire group
to travel through water. With this, you could return to the floating palace,
go up to Mr. Fish, and once you touched him, you would be transported
under water, to a cavern, where, at the end, lay Aeris' orb/life essence.
With this orb, Bugen Hagen could complete the ress process, and you could
move on to a happier life with a neater ending. Well, the FMVs were all
completed on time, but a lot of coding was not. They then delayed the
games release by a month (Dec -> Jan). However, it seemed that even
by late December, the coding STILL wasn't finished, so Square told production
to wrap it up quickly. In order to get the game out on time, SqJP sacrificed
what could have been a miraculously better game than FF7... The main coding
that was not finished dealt with manipulating the transparent polygon
of Aeris' spirit in the church. Since they were forced to wrap production
up to meet the many-delayed deadline, they had to stop with the Aeris
process unfinished. So, to keep things from ever happening, they simply
removed the one item that allowed any hint of the process to take place...
The Key to Midgar, from the first CD. This completely stopped the ability
to ressurect Aeris. HOWEVER, they left out the removal of one thing, and
that was the split- second of seeing the ghost of Aeris once you return
to the church. Unforunately, this, along with the insanely big size of
the ending MOV, are the only hints to Aeris' existence that we have. Other
than the original FF7 scriptline, from which all the above information
came. I ran across this info while talking to John H. (another temp like
me) trying to get some US script from him for our channel's page. Also,
Seph wanted it. I asked him if it would be alright for me to release the
script info in an altered form, and to release info on gameplay, such
as Aeris' death/ress. Then he told me the deadline story, and I almost
had a heartattack. He said that the process can still be done to its completion,
sans a couple of scenes, with the Game Shark, but until someone develops
a MOV player that handles multiple sector files, the true ending will
not be seen. Oh, and about the ending... There were supposed to be scenes
with the hidden characters, but things got cut short, so they weren't
added, and the end of the ending was terrible, without even the typical
"THE END" in the stars.
AND HERE IS HIS CONFESSION!!!!!!!!! I Have a Confession to Make by "Ben
Lansing" "I am writing this to quench all rumors about Aeris
and the completeness of Final Fantasy 7. Final Fantasy 7 was completed
to the best of Square's ability and funding." Hmm ... you leave the
internet community for a few months, and people are STILL dragging your
old shit around. Okay folks, this is getting a bit absurd. Can't you all
take a joke? Look. I have a confession to make, and if you stick with
me and read this WHOLE post, you'll learn a lot more about this whole
AERIS thing. A lot of you know me as Ben Lansing. Way back in March-April
of 97, when FF7 had first came out, I bought it (an imported version),
and loved the hell out of it. While rummaging around online one day, I
stumbled across some madman raving about the scene with Bugen Hagen near
the end of disc 2. The game being in Japanese and this guy being full-blooded
American, this scene came across to him as something else: a failed ressurection
attempt. He started posting to the FF7 Message Board about all of this,
saying that perhaps Aeris could be revived ... and people started jumping
in on it. All sorts of stories began flourshing about ways to bring her
back, and I did a lot of research on this before I ever posted my first
message on that board. I decided to see just how silly people could be.
I had actually understood everything that had gone on during the game,
so I knew lots of ways to trick people into believeing things. I already
had a silly audience who believed nearly anything, so I took a great step
when I came out with my Aeris Ressurection process, under the name of
Ben Lansing, an alleged translator for Square. Without even reading this
process, people should have known I was lying to start with. I claimed
to be a temporary translator for Square. Well, anyone with any common
sense knows that Ted Woolsey and the Square team did NOT translte FF7
... SONY did it, all in Japan, and all within the parent company - NOBODY
WAS HIRED FROM THE OUTSIDE! But ... being the gullible fish that I thought
everyone was, they swallowed it whole without a second thought, and I
became a near-idol on that message board. I decided to see just how far
I could carry all of this. Several people on the message board started
rebuking what I said, claiming me to be a liar and even catching me in
a few little fibs. However, I also had a strong support, backed by a few
guys you may remember as Fish, Mooncalf, Smear, Casper71, Zakna, and so
on. We strongly opposed anyone who claimed we were liars. They do not
know to this day that it was all a hoax. Some of them even made up little
lies themselves in defense of me. I thought that was a bit overboard,
but people will be people. We went off and founded a channel on DALNet:
#Aeris. You people may remember it, and some of you may even visit from
time to time. We had contacts with Crow (Miranda's Cafe) who helped us
advertise and such. Well, as more people came to know about us, more people
started doubting me. I went as far as to give over ownership of the channel
to Fish and Zakna, while having my name removed from the #aeris home page.
Things were looking bad, so I made one final post to the message board
and vanished from the net. Here it is, with comments I have to make about
why I said certain things: -------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh no. They did it. I wouldn't have known, because I had access to the
full set of FF7 info... but they did. I guess this means that I should
have actually played through things to see if anything had changed, instead
of getting tired of the game after translation purposes. I think everyone
is gonna kill me for my insolence, because I really should have played
through the game more fully before I said anything to make sure it was
still possible. Okay ... this paragraph was just a little introduction
saying that the ressurection process was originally in the game, and while
translating things, I saw it and so confirmed it without playing the game.
Sounded credible, didn't it? Obviously it did ... read on ... Throughout
the past few weeks, I, myself, have been wondering why people were having
such a hard time reviving Aeris, because according to everything I saw
through the scenario translation process, it could be done fairly easily.
Here's the Aeris revival process, in full. More babbling ... then I go
on to describe the Aeris revival process IN FULL ... heehee First off,
throughout the game, you must make the logical choice of things to say
to Aeris to indicate that you like her. You must never hurt her in any
way by choice. What happens in scenarios, however, cannot be avoided (Aeris'
beating by Cloud, for instance). I added this cause it sounded believeable
too, as there were several key decision points in conversation that seemed
to have no effect on the story, when in fact they really do: their real
purpose is to dictate who is going to date Cloud in the Gold Saucer ...
read on... Also, with the sick man. There is no medicine, but you could
have Aeris tend to him and make him feel better, by learning about her
heritage and returning to Midgar in the first CD. By doing this, the "GENERAL"
as people call him, would trust you, and request you go buy his dying
friend something from the store. A simple quest. After doing so,the GENERAL
would tell you thanks, and that if there was anything else you need ever,
to ask him for help. You then see a scene with his friend dying. A sad
scene. :( There's a problem here ... you don't find out about Aeris's
heritage till Disc 2. Another dead giveaway that this was a hoax had people
been listening carefully ... Coupled with the fact that there IS no Midgar
Key in disc 1 ... geez ... Oh yeah ... why did you guys call this man
the GENERAL? I never figured that out ... but I just took the name and
ran with it ... hell, it worked, didn't it? :) Now, continue through the
game as normal, and after Aeris dies, go on to the second CD. Once here,
return to Midgar with the key from CD1, and the GENERAL will ask you where
the nice girl (Aeris) is. You explain that she has died, by Sephiros,
and that there is no hope in reviving her. There would be a chance, but
only if you could go deep under the waters of the floating castle (where
Aeris died). The GENERAL would tell you that he thinks he may be able

where, at the end, lay Aeris' orb/life essence. With this orb, Bugen Hagen
could complete the ress process, and you could move on to a happier life
with a neater ending. Gee ... people still believed me after hearing THIS?
BUGEN HAGEN WAS NOT TRYING TO RESSURECT AERIS!!! GEEZ!!! Also, a YELLOW
orb gives commands ... I'll admit that there was an Underwater orb in
the Japanese version, but it was removed from the executable code and
cannot be gotten. It was later added in the US version. Geez ... what
gullible people ... But wait ... there's more ... Well, the FMVs were
all completed on time, but a lot of coding was not. They then delayed
the games release by a month (Dec -> Jan). However, it seemed that
even by late December, the coding STILL wasn't finished, so Square told
production to wrap it up quickly. In order to get the game out on time,
SqJP sacrificed what could have been a miraculously better game than FF7...
The main coding that was not finished dealt with manipulating the transparent
polygon of Aeris' spirit in the church. Er ... manipulating a transparent
polygon isn't that hard at all ... no more so than a regular one ... Look
at cloud's Ultima Weapon ... geez ... probably several other transparent
things too in the game ... and besides ... the blip of Aeris in the church
is NOT\ transparent to start with. This is yet another blatant lie that
nobody ever bothered to reckognize... Since they were forced to wrap production
up to meet the many-delayed deadline, they had to stop with the Aeris
process unfinished. So, to keep things from ever happening, they simply
removed the one item that allowed any hint of the process to take place...
The Key to Midgar, from the first CD. This completely stopped the ability

to the church. Unforunately, this, along with the insanely big size of
the ending MOV, are the only hints to Aeris' existence that we have. Other
than the original FF7 scriptline, from which all the above information
came. Wow ... interesting ... the only reason Aeris appears in the church
is Cloud's memory ... any moron should be able to figure that out. I ran
across this info while talking to John H. (another temp like me) trying
to get some US script from him for our channel's page. Also, Seph wanted
it. I asked him if it would be alright for me to release the script info
in an altered form, and to release info on gameplay, such as Aeris' death/ress.
Then he told me the deadline story, and I almost had a heartattack. He
said that the process can still be done to its completion, sans a couple
of scenes, with the Game Shark, but until someone develops a MOV player
that handles multiple sector files, the true ending will not be seen.
Heh ... multiple sector MOV files. Right. And pink monkeys fly out of
my butt. Get real, people. You all need to take intelligence tests or
something. Oh ... and that John H. guy was fake ... yet someone claimed
to KNOW HIM!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! -------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay ... That was my "closure" note to the world, shortly before
I vanished from the net. Too many people doubted me and I didn't want
to be caught, so I just vanished from the net for a while, letting things
cool down. Here recently, with the advent of the US release, I was in
full swing back on the net, roaming around, when I ran across people STILL
DRAGGING MY OLD, ROTTEN SHIT AROUND! It was hilarious. After 6 months,
there were STILL people believing that shit and starting fights over it!!!
I had had my name in several top magazines (Gamepro, EGM, PSX, and a few
others) with interviews with Square employees. The magazine would ask
them about Aeris and some guy named Lansing, and each square employee
denied all of it. And people still believed ME! I am writing this to quench
all rumors about Aeris and the completeness of Final Fantasy 7. As Hironobu
Sakaguchi said in an interview with one of the above-mentioned magazines
: "Final Fantasy 7 was completed to the best of our ability and funding."
If any of you question who I am, why not drop by #squareff7 on DALNet
one day and let me know you don't believe that I am Ben LAnsing. I will
do whatever it takes to prove it ... Zakna is still around sometimes in
#aeris also ... and he knows my nick - Dariakus. Yes, I'm Dariakus. One
of the leading ops on the #squareff7 channel on DALNet and also the head
coordinator and HTMLer of the upcoming Web Guide for FF7. Oh well. If
you guys still want to sling my shit around, that's cool and all, but
you will be doing it KNOWING that you are an idiot, cause the SOURCE OF
THAT RUMOR (myself) HAS JUST TOLD YOU ALL THAT IT WAS FAKE. IT WAS A LIE.
GET OVER IT AND MOVE ON WITH YOUR LIVES!!! Sincerely, Ben Lansing / Dariakus
Result : FALSE
The Revival Process.
This Rumor has finally been proven false
Things you will need to complete this activity:
Four Tissues (lose battles at the arena)
One mastered Revive materia
The Apocalypse (Clouds 3x growth weapon)
Four hours of playing time (on average)
Every player of the game is familiar
with the revive materia, the one that contains the spells life and life2.
What most do not know is the fact that this materia can gain AP even after
it has been mastered, with an interesting result. Revive can be leveled
up to level four, even though it only has three visible levels.
To obtain the extra level, you must first
accumulate 800,000 AP after revive has been mastered (Depending on how
you played the game, you may have to get up to 1,500,000 AP. The most
efficient way to go about doing this is to obtain Cloud's triple growth
weapon, the Apocalypse (as far as is known, no other weapon works), and
fasten the mastered revive materia to it. You should then go to a place
where you can get lots of AP, such as the North Cave. Fight the Magic
Pots (the ones that ask for elixirs) until you have accumulated the required
AP. You should then have received another spell for revive, Resurrect.
It's obvious what you must use the new
spell for. The next place that you must go is to Aeris' house in Midgar.
If you have not already obtained the Sector 5 key, you must go to the
Bone Village and have the diggers dig next to the airplane. Once you have
the key, proceed to Midgar, and visit Aeris' house. Go to her room.
Nothing will happen at first, but you
can spur on an important series of events if you use four tissues (lose
or win fights in the battle arena) next to Aeris' bed. After you do this,
Cloud will be overcome with grief, and will yell, "Why did you have
to die?." Once he composes himself, the other people in your party
will come out, and Cloud will discuss with them his desire to bring Aeris
back to life. They will question you at first, but will soon be brought
to agreement.
Your group will suggest that you visit
the church in Midgar, where you may find some insight on how to get Aeris
back.
On the way to the church, use the savepoint
to access your PHS. Make sure that your party includes Cait Sith. Then
enter the church (if this is your first time in it after disk one, you
will see a ghost of Aeris). The two children who appear next to the flower
bed will ask where the flower girl is, but will then notice the cat (Cait
Sith) in your group. They will ask to play with the cat, and Cait will
agree to it and leave the church with the children. The ghost of Aeris
will then appear before you. She will mention the resurrect spell (which
you should already have), and will tell you to go to the Ancient City,
which is your next destination. Retrieve Cait Sith from the children and
proceed.
At the city, go to the spot where Bugenhagen
inserted the key (the waterfall with the crystal in the middle of it)
and enter the waterfall. Here, Cloud will remember what Aeris told him,
and will take the Revive materia out of his pocket (or wherever it was
at the time). He will mutter, "I never got to tell you...,"
and begin to cry. Composing himself, Cloud will place the materia on the
pedestal in the center of the waterfall and kneel before it in prayer.
The materia glows brightly and begins to shimmer with a green light. It
then turns into a ball of light and shatters. In front of Cloud, the crystal
glows so brightly that he must hide his eyes from it. When the light goes
down again, Cloud looks up and sees a ghostly image of Aeris, which tells
him to go back to Midgar and enter the Church.
At the church, the image of Aeris will
appear again, but this time it will not vanish. Your group inspects the
flower bed, and Aeris gets up and walks towards you. It is then that you
notice that she is not a ghost. As if to answer your unspoken question,
Aeris looks at Cloud and says, "Don't worry, Cloud, it really is
me... Maybe now we can do all those things that we never finished the
first time around..."
