Well shit, does it get any more rough?
The scenes and actions with Aerith are just too much in this portion. I can't stop being constantly overwhelmed. Aerith is just such a good and wholesome creature, and much of the "positive" "happy-go-lucky" "best" girls of FF were constant efforts to duplicate her genuine kindness and wholesome spirit. No one comes close, no one. Just typing about it makes me cry again.
I don't think I remember the idea of trying to be a good person being something as clear as a concept and something to thrive for before her. Maybe it was floating there on an archetypal level as a collateral of the philosopies and readings in which I was invested. Maybe it was something that was abstract and only present as actions, discretized and scattered. FF has a lot of stoicism elements after, taoist, buddhist, hermetic, gnostic. The heroes that aspire to be of some measure of help, end up exceeding their own expectations. That's the core of the FF series, and I was familiar with it through other media as well. But I can't remember a moment prior to FF VII and getting to know Aerith that I thought: That's a genuingely kind and wholesome person, what a character, what an attitude, it would be good to reach such a level of care at times.
Not before Aerith, not in that way. The best girl there is, I don't know man, I'm just too drunk on my own feelings at this point and sleep deprived.
And work is crazy and I can't seem to give time to my PhD stuff.
Oh Aerith T_______________T
