10 Worst-Kept Spoilers In Video Game History

9. Final Fantasy VII – Aerith’s Death

Final Fantasy 7
Square Enix

Just by nature of being a game over twenty years old, it’s impossible to keep such old spoilers at bay. However, what makes this shocking video game moment such a badly kept secret is that it’s just so famous.

In FF VII, Aerith acts as your companion and potential love interest for the first half of the game, only to be impaled by a sword, wielded by Sephiroth, the game’s lead villain.

Having just been on a romantic date with her (if you so please), this death comes out of nowhere, remaining one of the most famous and saddest in video game history.

Watching Aerith die in the FFVII remake is going to break hearts all over again.

Chances are I’m watching a movie or replaying Mass Effect rather than doing anything productive.
