Ooh, my opinion of Aeris. I hope the FFVII fanboys don't kill me for this. XD
Personally, I always found Aeris kinda blah. She's half the stereotypical "girl with mysterious past and magic powers," which I can live with, but she's also very much the "oh, aren't I cute, tee-hee" vapid kind of heroine that I detest. Now, looked at in that context, she's less vapid than a lot of vapid heroines, but I still found her kinda annoying. (I always preferred Tifa, who actually seemed to have some human vulnerability rather than candy-coated moronicity, if that's a word.)
As such, during the OMG AERIS DIED scene, I was much less affected than most FFVII players seem to have been. I didn't cry - heck, the most I felt was a vague irritation that I'd had to run around to get her awesome final Limit Break that actually made her useful for once and then got to use it for all of, like, one dungeon?

Her musical theme is cool though.
