i dono how feasible it is, this is awesome, but what about a version with more multi string play, like how theres now a version for the metal gear solid theme, something like the piano version of this song, if any of you play piano youll know what i mean i hope thx for the tabs guys its awesome here

Some random guy

Tue, 05/01/2007 - 20:26

It is pretty good but the guitar pro version is better by far. no offence

archard

Tue, 05/08/2007 - 11:24

What guitar pro version?

Stumpy

Tue, 06/05/2007 - 16:59

yea I wanted something more multi string too. think it'll sound better. it'd sound more complete too. love the tab as it is though, good job. I cried when Aeris died, but I'm a girl. Does that give me a good excuse? And damnit I want guitar pro whatever it is...all i hear is good things :[

Joshua

Sun, 01/13/2008 - 13:21

Yes its a good excuse, I'm a dude and teared alittle bit, but I was like 10 when I got that far thats my excuse

Shade

Mon, 06/16/2008 - 10:37

nooo, dont sell out to guitar pro, c'mon now, we can all be better than that=P

I cried when she died. This song made me play FF7 over from the very beginning to the end. And with me being a gaming freak, I had to find every little secret within the game.

Fantasitc, cant wait to learn this so i can shut everyone up by showing them my guitar is not a phase >.<

Jory Turgeon

Sun, 02/17/2008 - 20:00

lol, i think i cried more when i was at the part at the very end... and then all my characters were sitting on the edge waiting for me to jump in and i was being stupid and used my save crystal and now i can't do anything... it sucks

just so you know, you can actually climb back up and get out of the crater. there's a door you can go through and climb out with. I did the same thing and thought I was stuck, but you can go through this one door and then just run/climb up to the highwind's ladder.

Jory Turgeon

Sun, 02/17/2008 - 20:02

im not expert at this... but in the first part where it goes 4 2 3 2 0 ETC... that 0 sounds a little off? is that just my guitar?

I didn't cry when Aeris died. I jumped for joy and did a jig. She always annoyed me to pieces, I hated her. Her and Tifa. So irritating. Come to think of it, almost all of the characters annoyed me. Red was cool, though. And Reno.

I always root for the bad guys, anywho. :/

The good guys being stupid hasn't stopped me from conquering the game four times, all secrets completed.

Kefka > Sephiroth. Sephirtoh was just messed up in the head. Kefka was pure evil.

...Anyway, back on topic. Very nicely tabbed. I've tried a few others which are a lot higher-pitched, but I think I prefer this one. Much simpler. Five'd.

Shade

Mon, 06/16/2008 - 10:35

I didn't cry either! I cried for two days when Alys Brangwin from Phantasy Star IV kicked the bucket. Aeris I saw coming a mile away so I really didn't get too bummed out. I generally prefer the more double-sided characters too, and she was pure good and that was sorta boring. But Sephiroth is a whiny baby. Kefka was the friggen MAN.

And someone else said they named their second kid Aeris..I know somebody who did that, also. Apparently its becoming more common, but thats cool.

And as far as the tab, when I figured this song out, the melody was exactly as you have it, but I had all the harmonics to go along with it, i was debating submitting it becuase I figured there was a more accurate version than mine out there, but I might now, because its almost the same tab only its more than just the melody, and it might help out some people.

I have to say, hearing this song always makes me smile, but I cry anyway. I don't care what anyone says, I played this game about two or three years ago when I was 14. I knew it was coming, I knew she was going to die.

Even so, when it actually happened, I cried and I then actually felt angry at sephiroth for killing her and the anger was somehow intenisfied by the fact that due to certain materia on cloud, he was invincible for the following boss fight.

It is easily the most recognized song in Final Fantasy besides one winged angel and the victory music. And Archard, you are my hero for tabing so many songs and making them so easy to play. Keep doing what you doing, and I'll keep on playing them.

I just finished Crisis Core and I almost cry when Zack was killed. Now I understand better the whole Cloud-Aeris thing.

I almost cried when aeris died, but whenever i heard the song from the ancient village, my stomach would hurt, i just recently got over that. But yeah, this is a great tab, and i miss aeris. crisis core was amazing, truly and definitely amazing. I miss zack too.

umm...

Wed, 04/16/2008 - 14:27

ummm. why do people keep calling you Archard when your name is Richard?¿?¿?¿

does anyone know this for violin or piano?

bobomob111

Tue, 08/12/2008 - 20:21

tthis is good it only took me an hour to learn it and im just a noob so this tab seems to be simple enough but follows the sound exactly

Tue, 07/22/2008 - 17:20

This is Snake. Gametabs, can you hear me?

I played Final Fantasy VII shortly before fighting in Zanzibar Land. Even tough guys like me get emotional, and I can tell you, I was saddened deeply by Aeris' death. This music is excellent.

Archard, there's no one I'd rather have in a foxhole than you.
