I never understood the rampant Aerith fandom. She honestly wasn't that deep or interesting of a character, and as soon as they really start developing her they kill her off. She wins points for being more brains than boobs ala Tifa, but when they played Aeriths theme at FF Distant Worlds the guy sitting infront of me literally started crying, I just dont get it.
However an interesting fact, is that some of the writers / people behind Final Fantasy said in an art book/fact book about final fantasies. (I don't remember, but watch did you know gaming? on FF on youtube)
But FF7 takes place in the same universe as FFX/FFX-2 except thousand of years later, and on a nearby planet. (All because of the al-bheid, or whatever they are called.)
Hmm.
I'm guessing the fact that "FF Distant Worlds" exists, whatever that is, mostly explains why anyone would be crying over a video game bimbo.
Last I checked that was some BS that was vaguely and poorly tacked together in some interview with... someone (one of the X-2 designers I think) at SE in order to try to move more X-2 units by playing to the FF7 fandom. It was completely after the fact, and about as close to canonical as any other tween fanfiction. It was not a plot point, or even a side point, in the games at all from what I remember. More like "Oh yeah, it's totally the same thing guys, so this is like the sequel you wanted! Buy more units!"However an interesting fact, is that some of the writers / people behind Final Fantasy said in an art book/fact book about final fantasies.

You're in a final fantasy thread being condescending about ... final fantasy fans? Sure bud.
And since you're too disinterested to actually look up FF: Distant Worlds, it's pretty much Nobuo Uematsu and Arnie Roth flying around the world to perform orchestral renditions of music from the series (mostly the stuff Uematsu composed) with local orchestras. You don't have to be super into the games to enjoy music. In fact, it's an event where most people *gasp* wear a tie.
