>the 'Why didn't they use a phoenix down on Aeris lololoXD!1!!1one!' meme is unironically coming back
maybe if you could give a reasonable answer to the question then people will stop asking it

This, is there a reason it doesn't work?
>>322121362
It's the same reason Spiderman's Spider Sense pretty much never works: plot convenience and forced feels.
If they could have just instantly revived her (which should have been possible given that the blade didn't hit anything overly vital), then all the weight of the scene would be lost. Instead, the scene has taken on an ascendance, to the point that people who have never even played FF7 know who Aeris is, what she's about, and how she dies.

Gameplay mechanics don't necessarily apply to a storyline. We answered this back in the 90s.
Phoenix Down doesn't cure death, it cures KO you fucking donuts.
I thought Phoenix Downs only recover people from being K.Oed/Swooned not death

Phoenix down revives KO'd characters it's in the fucking god damn description

She's the woman in overalls who fights with fists, right?

gameplay and story segregation
Phoenix Downs don't exist as far as the canon goes. They only exist for the gameplay.

>ff7 remake has an option to save aeris for an extra 10 bux
why didn't they take her to an inn?
Phoenix Downs don't work on open wounds.
Sephiroth is the only character with a sharp weapon. Everything else is dull or blunt.

Friendly reminder that cloud killed her and not Sephiroth
