9. Resurrect Aeris in Final Fantasy VII
Look, admit it... you bawled like Halle Berry at the Oscars when everyone's favourite flower-seller Aeris was released from the clutches of life in Final Fantasy VII. We were all cut up about it we felt powerless to prevent it from happening despite having a cache of phoenix downs in our back pockets, which is perhaps why the rumour of her possible resurrection proved to be so popular. There are shed-loads of apparent and ludicrous methods of bringing the pink-garbed character back into the digital land of the living. One of the more popular ways to do this is by levelling up 'cure' materia enough to access the 'restore' spell. Then you must find the fabled 'underwater' materia in order to revive her. This is, of course, a hoax, and the person who caused the rumour, supposedly working for Squaresoft, retracted the statement. One of the more hilarious revival methods is apparently to be awful to Tifa throughout the game and lovely to Aeris. Once Aeris goes away to the Forgotten Capital, you must have Tifa in your team. According to the myth this will change the usual cut-scene where Aeris dies to one where Tifa pushes her out of the way and get wasted by Sephiroth instead. Oh the love-lives of fictional characters.
