Ever had a surreal dream in which someone you care about is about to leave your life and you feel like there's nothing you can do about it? This scene captures that beautifully.
Take a close look at 9 second mark where she’s peeking out from the tree. Does this not resemble when she surprises cloud in the remake when he tries to leave her on his way back to sector 7? Then in the remake, he sees her walk away - similar to this scene where she leaves at the end. And cloud sheds a tear. I think he saw the future. Aerith leaving him before she died.
Please for the lord of god tell me they will put this into the story. I love how Aerith is playing hide and seek. i love Cloud and Aerith so much. they are my favoritr final fantasy couple with real romance. not just some hollywood childhood friend crap.
So much deep stuff here. Cait Sith dies, Cloud give Sephiroth the black materia, Cloud beats Aeris, Cloud dreams of Aeris and him in a forest together. Sephiroth taunts Cloud. And even the biggest emotional climax is soon to happen. Incredible scripting.
My boyfriend died when I was only 19. After his funeral I had a dream where we spoke and he was telling me how he wasn't really dead and I remember waking up thinking it was all so crazy that I thought he had died until I came around and realized it was just a dream.
This scene really makes me wonder if Cloud was having a prophetic vision of sorts or if Aeris really was somehow directly communicating with him while he was dreaming. My bet's on the latter. It really is a poignant and effective way for her to deliver her last lines of dialogue.
