hi all,
****
i posted this in the PSone/PS2 forum, but seeing as people from this forum won't neccessarily visit the PS2 forum (and that FF7 is generally considered a classic) i thought i'd post it here too :)
****
Ok, so pretty much everyone who's played FF7 knows of the 4 million romoured ways to revive Aeris, despite each and every single one of them being a massive lie... or are they??
apparantly, the first 500 - 1000 (or thereabouts) shipped copies of the translated version of FF7 contained code (intentional or otherwise) that allowed Aeris to return at the Great Crater. There are several locations where you can see a flickering "ghost" of Aeris (like the church in midgar where you first meet her). If you visit them all then when you're in the Great Crater, when you auto-jump across the stome platforms to get the mega-all (i think) materia,if you hit X on the platform that you usually auto-jump straight off, you can stay on it. walk towards the green mako/lifestream "waterfall" in the background and Aeris will reappear and rejoin the party.. the only catch is you can't take her back OUT of the north crater.
Now, i'f i'd just read all that i'd be thinking "bah, sounds like too much work for what's probably a hoax", which is probably what you're thinking right now.. fair enough! :)
but here's the thing, it's absolutely true. i was reluctant to believe it when a mate told me he'd done it (he's an ff nut who bought 7 as soon as it was out), but yesterday i saw it with my own eyes; Aeris, in the Great Crater, in PHS and battle sequences, at level 95.
Of course there's no reason to believe me, but as soon as i can figure out a way of grabbing a Playstation greenshot onto my PC i'll upload one (at which of course, most people will scream "PHOTOSHOP!", there really is no convincing some people ;) , unless i can grab some video from the playstation.. hmmm.... ), or, if you're trusting enough, send me your memory card and i'll copy the game on for you (and no, this isn't an elaborate scam to get a load of memory cards, nor do i actually expect anyone to care enough to send one, but if that's what it takes.... :) )
so there you have it! it is indeed possible, but only on a rare amount of the games apparantly.
maybe it's the same kind of reason that means no matter how hard i try, the "turltes paradise" flyers thing never works for me :)
make of this information what you will, and if i find out that any of the details i gave on how to do it are incorrect, i'll correct them straight away (i have to recheck with my mate).
so yeah, it's possible!

It's worth a look, if only to dispute it.
The screenshots may seem a little convincing, but DON'T BE FOOLED!
They are fake.
This guy, or somebody else altered images from the game.
Look at the Highwind picture, Aeris looks totally out of place.
Also, look at the apparent menu screenshot with the Revive materia.
See that Strength is spelt with a 5??(so is MA5TER)
Either this was done on purpose to show you it was a hoax, or the person who did it made a mistake......
Also, the Revive materia only has 3 stars worth of AP. It's masters on the third and doesn't gain any more AP.
If "tissue" was that important, it would be a key item.
There's more, but that's enough to disprove the theory.
Let go people, she can't be resurrected!

bloody hell! well spotted!!!
i missed that one...
*has another look*
ah but the "s" in "buster" (sword) also looks like a 5 so it MAY be a crappy screengrab, but again, well spotted.

yeah, that's the kicker... whoever did this didn't pay much attention to detail...
and only attaching it the buster sword?? smacks of a lie....

there's definately something you're supposed to be able to do with them, i'll have to re-check.

You would do well not to start it again.
We have agreed to disagree.
