Phoenix Downs and Life spells only work on those at the brink of death. That one girl doesn't die in your arms; she's killed instantly. Some games even state as much. Yeah. I'm not a big fan of FF7, but this has got to be one of the biggest false dilemmas in gaming. It makes sense just fine, quit acting like it doesn't. (though the games undercut this a bit when they let you use Phoenix Downs to insta-destroy undead enemies) Also people should quit acting like her death is some big emotional and sad moment, it's really not. Shocking, maybe. But tons of other deaths in games were much sadder and better done. <cite>streamofthesky posted [p:946198292] in What is th...
