Final Fantasy VII is regarded as one of the greatest RPGs and one of the best video games of all time. Many who played the game in the 1990s wished for a scenario where they could save certain characters or alter the course of the story. While some fans insist the narrative should remain exactly as it was originally written, others have long sought a different outcome. I am offering this patch for those who wish that Aerith, one of the story’s most pivotal characters, had survived.

Saving Aerith Significant effort has been invested in presenting this event in a way that truly engages the player, making the experience feel as though it were part of the original game. Aerith participates in a brief phase during the second disc in Icicle Inn (Snow Village) after Cloud is punched by Elena. By placing Aerith in your party before starting the ski event, she will subsequently leave the party, allowing the game to proceed. While she does not participate in the primary storyline thereafter, the mod modifies her dialogues to reflect her memories before the party reaches the Northern Cave. Aerith officially rejoins the team on the third disc, though she remains unavailable for the final Northern Cave sequence. A patch is included.

Playing with Sephiroth On the third disc, upon entering the town of Nibelheim, head to the second floor of the inn. There you will find Sephiroth appearing as one of his wandering clones. You may utilize his supernatural powers on the condition that Vincent never joins your group. Please note that Sephiroth cannot be used during the final sequence in the Northern Cave.

– Cloud’s mother: A new meeting with Cloud’s mother on the third disc.

– Mideel: The ability to visit the undestroyed town of Mideel on the third disc by speaking with one of the NPCs downtown.

– Theatrical Show: It is now possible to participate in the theatrical show at the Gold Saucer by speaking with the man at the entrance on the third disc.

– Costa del Sol: The ability to play football (soccer) again in Costa del Sol.
