I have just finished programming Aeris into every level now ;D

Now all that's left is text and new animations.

Nice! Drools for screenshots. :)
 
The new animations are for the ones that she needs but doesn't have, like floating in front of Sephiroth, or falling into the last area. There aren't many, but it'll take a while.
 
Could you post some samples of her new dialogues?
I think it would be cool if the comunity could give some opinions & suggestions on what she say.
 
If the final-fight animations are the only ones missing, you could release an alpha version of the patch for testing and such, since there should be a lot to test between End of CD1 and End of CD3

Here's what she says when you arrive in Midgar after the parachute scene:

SPOILERS - IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO KNOW, DO NOT READ THIS POST


{Aeris}
"You know, {Cloud}
I used to be scared of the sky.
I felt like it was pulling me in...
I never thought I'd be parachuting
back into Midgar!"

I thought that that would be the perfect place to throw a Crisis Core reference in :P

I think I have only 1 animation left to do. Its got 300 frames :|

It took me 45 mins to do 90 frames...It'll take me hours to do it. I'll have to find another way around it...

Maybe if I just make a new model of Aeris based on Tifa's Hierarchy...just for that scene. It should work.

the story left 'cute' behind it when Aerith got stabbed by Seph ( and they forgot to phoenix down her )
 
I dissagred with that last post, I think one of Aerith's main atractives is her ability to stay cheerfull even in dire times, I mean, if you come to think about it, the history left the "cute" behind when it spiraled around an evil megacorporation that exploits the very lifeblood of the planet to makes a corrupt corporate empire, one that conducts biological research to crate superhuman soldiers using procces that may cripple or kill the subjets, while all together making misserable the lives of thousands of people that are force to leave in sunless slums cause they could no affort a place in the upper plate of Migdar, so ¿who will be willing to care about flowers and smile in a world like that? Aerith that is who.
She never left her "cute" side behind even thought she had both of her parents killed by Shinra, lost contact with Zack, had to live in the slums herself, and was frequently chased by Shinra's thugs, as you can see she at a lot of reasons to be grim and gritty, yet she is not, she make the choise to stay on the bright side and be happy, that is a very important part of what she is and it could not just be "left behind" in this project.
 
'cute' will still feel wrong in the aftermath of the forgotten city. Especially as events are really, really shocking and serious there
 
She isn't all THAT cheerful. I think in that situation she'd be serious but still try to cheer Cloud and the others up. She might try to put a "It isn't all that bad" spin on things.
 
I may even go as far as to have her laugh when the characters talk about her death, or have her looking miffed because she's standing right there. I can't decide which.
 
Personally I will try a mixed approach, a start with serious part  like "I'm really relieved that you (Cloud) came back from me..." toned down with a little light comment like "...I knew you cared about me more than you showed mr. Soldier" she then should begin regaining her cheerfull self lil by lil during the rest of the game, so to the end of the game she may have completely rebuild her self-confidense and be ready to face Sephiroth, in fact will be interesting to have Cloud try to convince her to stay out of the last mission in fear Sephiroth will hurt her again, but she adamantly deciding to stay in something in lines of... "Of course I'm scared, but I won't run away".

Anyway I think the most important thing is to make she show she is happy to be back with her friends but still concerned with the fate of the planet. :)
 
"This is the final battle. Are you sure you want to go?"

"Yes, I have to. I'll be ok, I have a body guard right?"
 
D'aww, that line is so sweet! It's perfect.
May I help you write some of her lines as well? I'm actually putting off my playthrough of FF7 till this gets released.
 
Yeah, sure. ATM I'm writing my own lines, but it's nice to see what others write.

So...if you guys post what you have written for any scene, I'd write something for it, then compare them to see what should be in.
 
That last last dialogue soo Aerith that it automaticaly make me smile  :)
Great job Ultima
 
Oh, I forgot to mention that it should be this :

"Yes, I have to. I'll be okay, I have a bodyguard, right?"
 
Just a quick idea
Almost at the ending, there is this video where Aerith's hand strech to save Cloud and then is remplaced by Tifa 's hand, may it be possible to cut the video short before it is changed, I mean now that she is there, she could help Cloud herself, I may be a small but cool change.
 
I wasnt going to mention it but...I was going to have her fade out like the ghost in the church...
