Pretty good.
I remember hearing and reading about some of the ways people thought of for bringing back Aries. They really wanted her back, course I guess after all the time playing the game I can understand that. Nice job.

Reviews for "...To Revive Aeris"
There is a glitch
There is a glitch after the fat guy playing games - the flash suddenly stops and you have to advance it manually. I have Flash Player 8
music?
what was that music during the credits? argghh... sounds so familiar, could it be from chrono trigger? the battle music perhaps?
Dily responds:
Yes, you are correct! It's the battle theme from Chrono Trigger!
The Revival Shit... Whatta Waste-a Time!
I prefer Aerith dead anyway; my fanfiction sort of requires her to be a kick-ass Guardian Force, an Einherjar that does all the reviving after the wickedly evil good guy does all the heroic killing (savagery?). Let me know if you ever want to read it.
This was narrated pretty well. In fact, it was the best sort of game code show I've seen in Flash, ever. Let's face it, someone needed to offer a good send-up of those insane revival rumors about Aerith. She's a lot cooler dead, anyway. Sound, however, was still a little shaky here and there, a little inconsistent.
But hey, it was well-written. It's almost required to rip sprites and images for the proceedings, and whatever artwork was made appeared too plain to speak of. Some jokes were a bit on the lame side, but not severely. Interesting to note some mild interaction through clicking on the right button during intermissions, and how you picked on your own flash for being long (you actually recommend a piss-break halfway through...), because I don't see that all too often around here.
I still say you could end up doing this for a living if you keep at the artwork end of it.

DO I?! Please send me a copy!
I've said this many times in the responses to my other flashes, but...THANK YOU! AGAIN! Your review is very appreciated!
Yes, fanboys are pathetic.
I've seen pretty much every "revive aerith" cheat code in existance. To list some of my favourites:
1) Get 99 Tissues:
Go to the battle arena in the Gold Saucer and lose 99 times to get 99 tissues. Then go to the lake where you laid Aerith to rest and she'll come back to your party. Pretty plausible by my standards, actually.
2) Use Holy:
Cast Holy when you get it. Trouble is, you CAN'T get the Holy materia! Whoever thought that one up obviously hadn't played the game.
3) Be Mean To Tifa:
Probably thought up by Tifa-haters who wanted her to die instead. All you have to do is pick Aerith at every point where you pick between her and Tifa. Go on her date and be sure to use her in every possible battle without getting her killed. When it's time for Aerith to croak, Tifa will get in the way and die instead. Only succeeds in making Tifa pissed off though.
4) Level 99 Aerith:
Train Aerith to make her level 99. When she dies, Sephiroth will mess up the attempt to kill her and she'll live. My friend spent 70+ hours making Aerith that level and she still died. Don't try this one unless you want to get bored.
The most well-known way to get Aerith back in the party is with a certain gameshark code. But after this, she has no good weapons and the game crashes at certain cutscenes. I don't know the code though.
The premise of the flash is pretty good. Lovesick fanboys are pretty pathetic and they deserve to be lied to. I wouldn't revive Aerith even if I could; she was one of the characters that was there but wasn't truely needed. Although she was pretty hot.
Can you change that voice when (or if) you make a sequel? That was possibly the most annoying voice actor ever. And the sprites were pretty poorly animated, but I've never been a big fan of sprites anyway. I hope you make a sequel making fun of FF7's absurd amount of fan obsession. This was actually pretty cool. Make more.
Dily responds:
Haha, nice. I've heard some of those, too.
Anyway, thanks for the review! I'm not sure which voice you're referring to-- if it's the "Katrina Von Mortimer" one,un sorry. I'll definitely take that as a note...the other two are my brother and sister, who are a little bit harder to control. Harhar. But, don't worry, I'll get 'em!
On the third note, I wasn't planning on making a sequel in the near future. Perhaps when I finish some other projects, and if the demand is high enough, I will consider another one.
