The thing important to Zack
[Cloud]: Your name is? I think I know it
As if about to say something important, Aerith spoke the man's name。
"Freedom" echoes Zack's line
[Cloud]: Why did you stop it (the Whispers)?
[Aerith]: Why indeed...
[Tifa]: What lies on the other side of that end?
Aerith thought for a moment, then, as if finding the words—
[Aerith]: There is freedom.
(Echoing Zack's line, everyone's gaze turns toward the wall)
The deep bond between the three
A First Class SOLDIER who has been missing since his last mission five years ago. Cheerful and sociable, he stays positive and optimistic no matter how harsh the environment, pursuing dreams and honor throughout his life. He has a deep bond with Cloud and Aerith。
The sky that took away someone precious
Q: At the end of the first part's ending, Aerith murmurs, "The sky... I hate it." What is the deeper meaning behind this?
[Nomura]: For Aerith, the sky is a symbol of sorrow. Zack, the person precious to her, and her mother Ifalna were taken away by the sky; the sky over the slums is covered by Shinra; and Jenova, who brought calamity to the Cetra, also came from the sky. It is precisely because of these scenes that Aerith says she dislikes the sky.
