Reevaluating Aerith: Did Final Fantasy’s Original Character Differ from the Remake?
Dante_777 breaks down the barriers by recalling fondly Aerith’s character from the original game. A notable observation he shares is that he saw her as shrewd and slightly tough, contrasting with her cute appearance in the remake. He comments, “I feel like she’s more playful and flirtatious on the surface… yet somehow gentler too.” This viewpoint resonates with many other comments, suggesting that nostalgia can sometimes distort our understanding of beloved characters from our past.
