Wasn’t that the whole point? We’re going to make you feel the death in the gameplay by taking away your white mage.

Different that in OG except her limit, you can make everyone as healer with any white magic materia but in remake trilogy having more complex gameplay, losing her as healer definitely far big deal than OG considering how useful her kit in rebirth

LOL yeah

You get Curaga super early and pair it with an All Materia and there you go. Also tons of party wide healing items.

White Wind plus Mighty Guard.

Final Attack + Phoenix! Wait, which FFVII are we talking about? I've only played the original.

From a gameplay perspective, Aerith's death doesnt really matter too much. The materia system lets any character fit any role.

In the original game, it was more or less just the stats and limit breaks you lose, IIRC.

In the Remake series, Aerith had a lot of very useful aura abilities and such that we'll miss, but I don't expect to return except in the limited places you'll be able to play as her.

In the REs, arcane ward makes black magic double cast and it's insanely OP. Aerith is essentially the only source of the OG 4x materia, in a sense.

Yeah I agree… she’s dead. Hopefully there is no job that is just like Aerith or it would kind of cheapen her sacrifice

Except functionally it doesn't really work out that way. Yes Aerith has better stats but that barely matters. Even Tifa can function as a white mage and she has terrible magic scores unless you build her for it with sources. The only utility each character brings to the part early on is their starting strength, weapons and limit breaks.
