Sheesh. I was spoiled by it by Andrew Vestal's editorial on why she was
dead. About two-three months before it came out here. I also wasn;t even
planning on getting the game then (at the time I was satisfied in trying to
get lots of Snes Rpgs...). Of course, when I played it, I kept being like
"she's gonna die so soon? No fair!", but of course, she comes back, until
she really leaves permanently.
Umm..to keep this on topic (^_^), I'm really happy I wasn;t spoiled by ST's
plot. I was actually in tears when Ayame got "turned to the dark side"
(^_^). Same with when Celes tried to commit suicide in FF6. Since I knew
about Aerith already, it didn;t have the same effect. It was more the
visual element that hit me there, rather than the actual event.
