Aerith is literally my favorite character in all of gaming, thank you for making this :)

PS. I totally didn't buy a PS4 half way through making the video and am definitely not 40+ hours into a completed save.

"possibility of the earth being hit by a meteor before the end of the year" well, I'm sure sephiroth would oblige.

Remake is easily the best she’s ever looked. Hell, every damn main character has never looked better than they do in Remake.

Im a gay man but she makes my heart race with her beauty 🥺💐

On Aerith's name though: Her name is indeed intended to sound like "Earth" - for obvious reasons connected to the main themes of the game. But within the bigger elements that FFVII is based on her name is also part of something else too. FFVII draws a lot of inspiration from the Jewish faith system and its mythology. I'm not an expert, but as far as I understand there is a thing in Kaballah (the foundations of jewish religion) called Sefirot (on which the name Sephiroth is also inspired). This Sefirot is best imagined as a tree-like structure (which can also correspond to a part of the body btw, but the tree thing is easier to understand). Each branch of this tree states one of 10 attributes through which The Infinite / God will reveal itself in our world. One such branch can be called Sefirah . . . and Aerith is HALF of a Sefirah; namely the seventh branch: Tiferet (pronounced Tifereth). And also partially another called Chesed. Within FFVII Tiferet is broken up and shared between Tifa and Aerith, it's obvious their names both form Tiferet. Tiferet is symbolic of Love, Beauty and (curiously enough) Self Sacrifice. Chesed stands for kindness, and man's love for and responsibility to heal / repair the world. And within the Thalmud, one of the holy Jewish books a Rabbi called Simlai says that: "The Torah begins with Chesed and ends with Chesed." Aerith is the first and last character you see in the original game.

Keep the FF7 coming man, Zack next would be great

I got 100% and I love this remake so much, it broke my expectations for a video games in general and it’s my second favourite game of all time (number one is sonic unleashed, I just love that game too much.) the characters are soo likeable and amazing, the new bits are great and I like the ending which I won’t spoil because I’m not that kinda guy. I never enjoyed a game as much as I did with remake. best girl is Jessie. Great video Mark! Always tune in for each upload that you post, keep it up man! Edit: but I have to say Aerith is goddamn beautiful in remake.

can't say design wise, but what I can say, compared to Kingdom Hearts appearance, in the remake she has SOME personality (and I think in the original she had too) and I appreciate that

I love these videos. Please keep'em comin!👍

Thank you so much for doing a video on Aerith! (AKA, my favorite FF lady of all time.) Her design in the OG is simple, yet says so much about her. Her upgraded design in the Remake is definitely one of my favorites in the whole game. Choosing one is hard, but I guess I'd have to say it's a toss-up between her OG design and her Remake design. Both suit her the best in my opinion. (And I agree, it's a shame she missed out in Dissidia NT. It would have been awesome to see what she looked like there.) Though, I kinda wish you had covered her 3 optional dresses she can get during the Wall Market scenario in the Remake, but I guess that's fine, since this video is to focus on her default designs in all her appearances. (Or maybe it's simply because you haven't gotten to play the Remake yet, which I understand.) Overall, great video! Thanks again! 👍

Thank you so much for making an Aerith video too! :D Seeing this video show up in my notifications made me so happy omg

i love that light pink dress from the fighting game so much 🥺 i want her in ittttttt

Now you Should do Zack Fair! Can't be a complete series without Zack!

You make some good content. I like it a lot.👍🏻

Whatever her design is, she will always be Best Girl. Though I do like her Amano alternate design the best. The FF7 remake is a close second.

Love this channel this is great content

I think that there is great heartache in our future..... T_T

I've always been an Aerith fan, but her FF7R design is by far her best look. She's gorgeous and the portrayal of her character is perfect.

as a new fan of final fantasy 7 after playing the remake I just hope she doesnt get killed with another oversized sword again,I cant bear to feel the pain those 20 years ago felt

16:39 I also like in RR7 Remake how her necklace pendant is the same yellow flower she gives to cloud, stating to cloud the flower is a symbol of reunion between lovers.

Aww man, was gonna say I was heart broken on your behalf that you haven't been able to play it but then I remembered you saying on Twitter you were playing so I guess you buckled. I think the OG is my fav game of all time and I genuinely think the remake might be better, it's absolutely UNREAL! I love the actual OG artwork that goes along with the original game, and I have a weird nostalgic love of her original blocky self but I gotta say that... Yes, FF7 Remake does have the best Aeris design... and yes I still say Aeris lol. They did an amazing job in the remake, she looks pretty much exactly as I would have imagined her from the OG but with improved graphics. In fact it was seeing her in that E3 trailer so long ago that totally got me on board with buying the game. I wasn't really on board cos I thought it'd be like FF15 which i didn't like but seeing her wow'd me, then the combat looked great and I was in Great video man! P.S. Cloud + Aeris for life! lol

It would be interesting if you did a design of shulk considering that definitive edition is out.

The Remake designs are my favorites for all characters so far

Can I ask hiw god damn long it takes to edit these videos and research for the designs ,and making sure you didn't miss anything ?! Just saying but your work is impressive .

Love this redesign, especially her dress. While the OG makes her look like a lady (which is cool), this one makes her belong to the slums, so to speak. More down to earth, in a way.

If the reason they gave her white dress so her dress would turn red/pink when got stabbed, I'm out

I love how it takes five whole minutes for the actual video to start.

You should do Yuffie with Integrade coming out

could you do a review on FF7 remake once you played it?

A interesting note about remake in comparison to others is something i just noticed. The 'thickness' of her hair strands in front of her ears. They seemed to thin them out in later games for different purposes. To show her youth in crisis core and possibly to make her hair a wee bit more realistic in AC. However, I find having them thicker, to more closely resemble her Nomura sketch, looks a lot better and really sells the transition from OG to Remake

Any plans for a Kyo Kusanagi / Kazuya Mishima episode???

Most ppl says that best part of Remake is the expansion of Jessie, biggs, wedge's story but i beg to differ. It's the expansion of aerith tragic back story, abt her being selfless and insecurities on her preordained fate. Yes, it's the best aerith design not just looks, but the heart aswell.

Wow I just noticed how her dress in remake is a lot more open and flowy compared to her original dress. But I guess that was needed because she kind of hops around a lot.

everyone looks great in the remake!

Hi, What anime title that white shirt comes from? Been bugging me cause i know I've seen that title art somewhere.

I'm going to be honest here. Remake Aerith creeps me out. Why? She's so realistic that she reminds me of a girl I used to know, but I don't remember anything about that person. I've never even touched an FF game in my life. I knew of its existence, but never interacted with the series until I bought Sephiroth in SSBU. Curious about his origins, I watched countless FF videos. Remake Aerith always felt familiar in a way, like maybe I've seen her before... No. As it turns out, FF7 Remake came out LAST YEAR. I started freaking out. She gives me weird and creepy nostalgic vibes. Now when I feel nostalgic but don't know why, I call that "Aerith syndrome"

Awesome video! Love the remake designs! ❤️❤️ What's everyone's favourite Aerith look?

Advent Children Aerith is the best one. I think the dress/jacket looks better with buttons. I'd also choose Itadaki Street 2nd. Weird but I think the design and the style are just matched right.

I agree the best Aerith design is in FF7 Remake. HD up model from the og FF7 yes that what she would look like. As for Tifa though Dissidia NT is our nostalgic Tifa from the og FF7 model to the new HD model.

Ff7 remake version is King. All I got to say

Again I find myself going in the direction of the remake. Though most of my experience with her is in the original.

Btw. Voice actors. Have you covered them yet? In my opinion tho. Remake Aerith's VA is the best. Plus she played the game herself and talked about it and shit. And also played the Original. Dunno if she played it all but I know she did. Along with Barret lol. (Why do I wanna call him Barry? Damn Resident Evil. Jill Sandwich master)

I think the new ones are better,but the old ones are so nostalgic

Yes.

For anybody running this game, I have a complete playthrough showcasing all trophies and how to get them. I’m a smaller channel but would appreciate all the love and support. :D

I like her remake design best, but the dress is a little too billowy. I like how it looks a little more like her crisis core dress though. 1. Remake 2. Advent children 3. Crisis core 4. Yoshitaka Amano 5. Everything else lol

The best one is clearly her Sackboy costume

Dude, even if you did have a playstation 4, you'd still be crying internally.

Hey it’s Pac-Man’s 40th, I think now is a better time than ever to make a best character design for him! Don’t you think?

Now do Barrett 😅

This show is always a ton of fun! I do have to say that I love Final Fantasy Theatrhythm. That game rules. ok fine the artstyle is kinda ugly

6 minute intro?

Can you do a design video for Lara Croft plz.

Someone give this man a ps4.

Um I don't know if you've done this..... But King K. Rool best design?

I don't think Aerith is supposed to be an anagram for earth. Aerith=Aeris=Αέρας(greek)=Air is supposed to be an anagram for wind and is symbolizing the lifestream of Gaia that flows like the wind

You don't have a PS4? (EMULATE 😈)

The best Aerith design is obviously from that obscure yet laughingly bad PS2 called The Sniper 2

Spoilers! Now I know sephiroth killed dumbledore

Unpopular opinion, aerith wears too much pink

Man just buy a ps4 the game is worth 300$
