How to keep aris:
All you have to do is be mean to tifa.  You have to answer the question to where it threatons tifa.  Ex.  when you get the flower from aris give it to marlene instaed of tifa.  When aris goes to the acient forest to get killed (you have to have tifa on your tream).  Tifi will push aris out of the way and kill herself.
I don't know how to game end i haven't made it that far yet.

Okay, this is weird!  First of all it sounds like it just might work.  But then look at the spelling and the way tifa changes to Tifi??  I don't know if I should trust a 6 year old spreading rumors so he can brag to his friends.  As I said earlier I am writing them exactly how I have them.  So you decide, try it out and tell me what happened.

Final Fantasy VII:  The REAL story about the Aerith mystery

Okay, first off the rumor started at the FF7 Discussion Group on Jason Crafts page, the Chocobo Range.  The forum was quite popular with the hardcore FF fans and I was a frequent poster (does the name "Akuma Matata" ring a bell?).  Anyways, rumors began circulating that Aerith could be resurrected and many people claimed to have seen it but nobody came forth with a solid method (cause there never was one, but I'll get back to that...).  Certain people DID experience glitches and/or found gameshark codes to bring Aerith back, but nobody found any REAL way.  Enter Lansing.  Lansing came on the forum claiming to work for Square and started that Aerith can indeed be revived but he wasn't allowed to say the exact method.  Many people of course started the bashing and denouncing and called him a liar...but me and a select few of others decided that the best way to get the info was to...well...kiss his ass, and beg.

It worked...Lansing began giving us clues as to how to get Aerith back.  The list stated that you needed 4 things:  The Sword of Sephiroth, a key, and a General who would give you Bakusa and the final item you need if you do little missions for him... Needless to say, we spread the rumor and the whole discussion group went on a massive search for this General.  Lansigns lie was pretty safe...there is nobody that sends you on any kind of missions (I finally translated all the test..even though I was slow in doing so).  However, he stuck by it and started giving more clues.  Once games exhausted every option you can possibly think of and publicly bashed Lansing as a liar...and I was about to do so too, until I realized that I needed to play his little game.  I went on the discussion group and replied to the posts stating that Lansing was "telling the truth" and that everyone didn't deserve to hear it.  I told them that we (there were about 3 of us) would continue the search and Lansing promised to deliver Aerith when he quit Square at the end of the month.  O.K.  sounds good...

Up until the end of the month we are constantly in contact with Lansing asking him questions (and giving him theories as to what we thought was the right method...)...then the end of the month came.  I was intrigued to see how Lansing would respond considering Smear and Mooncalf and I had tried literally EVERYTHING pertaining to his first clues.  Then he gave us another clue:  You need to cure the General's Friend in the pipe at the beginning of the game and the medicine was the "key" that we needed to do this (why didn't he say medicine before?).  We searched everywhere for this medicine but came up empty.  Then Smear, I believe it was, told Lansing privately about his guess that the six signs had something to do with the Medicine.  LANSING SAID YES!  This is key because up until this time NOBODY had posted anything about this on the FF7 forum..but SOME people (namely me) had already solved the puzzle and knew that you just got a relic for your work.  I didn't confront him with it.  I waited...pretty soon more holes started showing up in Lansing's clues.  He said we needed to go under the fish that Aerith was buried under and doing that we needed "fish food" to do it and the fish food could be obtained with an "underwater materia" (which was recently posted as a rumor...how convenient it shows up in his story the next day).

BS...nobody found it.  Then he stated that the medicine we needed to cure the guy was actually Aerith and she needed to find out who she was to cure the sick friend of the General (note this completely forgets his earlier "job and Bakusa" method...) and you could do so before leaving the town.  BS...I went back at the latest possible moment after talking to everyone.  Then he said that you need the key of Midgar to get back into the town and cure him later.  Only problem...you can't get it until the second or third CD.  Upon realizing this he was looking for something to change his story.  He reverted back to a stray rumor about multiple endings that was on the forum awhile ago...He told me about them (apparently attempting to see if i would buy it)...and I pretended like I did.  The the next day, came his post about the process being cut and he stated the real process involved Aerith curing the sick guy but that Square "took out" the key so that you couldn't do it cause the game wasn't finished...but that capper is that he said the real endings were STILL left on the CD (a popping your CD in the CDROM of your computer would verify three separate files) and it is here where we got him.  Man people simply converted the movie files and watched Lansing's "proof" go down the toilet.  Square never intended for Aerith to be resurrected and this whole story was made up by a rumor specialist to save face (funny...you can't see anyone on the internet).

If you still don't believe me notice how his clues completely changed over time...  I have left out a lot MORE proof (but I don't want to spend all day typing this...but consider this...his story changed completely script Square had (note:  Scripts don't change information over time...) and that he indeed worked for Square as a translator for FF7.  Too bad Sony is translated the game (why do you think THEY made the statement that FF7 will not be altered)...sorry I took so long to get to the solid proof, but I wanted to show you beyond reasonable doubt...that Square did not make an unfinished game and you WILL NOT GET A "REAL" VERSION! Sony is delaying the game till September (like they did last year) because they want to save the top titles for the Christmas Season.  Now I don't want to hear any more rumors about this AGAIN!  YOU HEAR ME!

Phew...that was long.  Total 2 review coming when I get it.  Sorry to post such a downer but this "Lansing" scum has gone far enough...and I will no longer let his lies damage the image of my beloved FF7.

Okay that was long, but I loved it!  First of all you can fall into traps likes this one very easily.  Even though everyone called this guy a liar some people still were curious.  And eventually the whole list probably got in on it.  You have to expect people like this to make rumors like this for attention.  When you have a big game like FF7 it is bound to attract attention.  People want to feel cool so they can tell their buddies "Yeah, I sent the gaming community on a while goose chase!"  I don't know how many pokemon fans we have reading this but I am.  And that is a big game which has created a lot of fake codes that people put out there to show off!  I urge you not to do this because it just causes problems for the gammers and the people who make the  fake codes.  I don't know who wrote it but the site I got it from is at the top.
