As unbelievable as it might seem, we are mere weeks away from finally getting our hands on Final Fantasy VII Remake. Soon we'll get to see high definition, super detailed recreations of scenes like AVALANCHE's assault on the factory, Cloud dressing in drag, and the big climactic bike chase at the very end. We'll likely have to wait quite some time until the next part comes out, but it'll be worth the wait to see how they handle Aerith's death.

Oh, wait, those things are all massive spoilers for what happens in Final Fantasy VII. That might be upsetting for some people considering that this is a hot new game coming out this April. But honestly, Final Fantasy VII isn't a brand new game. It's actually a game that came out over 23 years ago. So gamers can get mad all they want, but the truth is it's ridiculous to get upset over spoilers for a game that came out in 1997.

How Could You Not Know That Aerith Dies By Now?!

It's understandable that some new fans to Final Fantasy may want to experience Cloud's tale for the first time without knowing any of the details. But FF7 is such a sprawling, landmark, blockbuster game that its biggest events make up some of the greatest moments in gaming history. Aerith's death, Cloud in a dress, Sephiroth at Nibelheim, the snowboarding sequence, the Golden Saucer date, the list goes on and on. It isn't just spoiled, it's burned into the memory of any gamer born in the last 10 years.

Besides, the video game industry is just following the precedent set by the film industry. Reboots and remakes happen all the time. Hollywood is constantly taking old films, re-casting the roles with hot, young actors and updating the story for modern times. And most of the time those remakes follow the exact same plots as the original film. Hell, Gus Van Sant's Psycho is literally just a shot-for-shot remake of the Alfred Hitchcock classic. All you'd need to do is watch the original movie and you'd know the story of the remake beat by beat.

Or perhaps an even greater example is movie adaptations. The Lord Of The Rings was a book series released in 1954 and the movies weren't made until the early 2000s. Sure, there are were many filmgoers who never read the books, but it'd be silly if people got mad if they heard about Boromir's fate or what happens at Helm's Deep. They were written in the 50s,  so if someone cried "no spoilers!" about the series it would make you look like a damn buffoon.

Spoilers can be annoying and can ruin an experience. If someone goes and spoils the ending of the hottest TV show at the time or the latest Marvel movie then fans have a right to be ticked off. But after a while, the onus is on that person to finally sit down and watch or play whatever it is they don't want spoiled. There was plenty of time to play Final Fantasy VII. Getting mad about details being posted everywhere about a game that's older than a large portion of people reading this article is just plain silly.

Honestly, for a lot of fans, the story of Final Fantasy VII isn't even the reason why so many are excited about this remake. We're all eager to reunite with some old friends. Only now, they'll look less like decrepit, polygonal, Playstation models, and more like the gorgeous, baby-faced anime heroes we always imagined them as.

So yes, Aerith dies. But that's not the point of this remake. We get to see a phenomenal story retold in an incredible visual style. The spoilers don't matter, so just sit back and enjoy a great remake of a great game.
