Maybe. The game still follows the events of the original, with Sephiroth aiming for godhood using the Black Materia and Aerith the sole person to stop him using the White Materia. The party arrives at the Forgotten Capital in pursuit of Aerith where she’s found praying at the same altar. Yet, despite Cloud trying to prevent it, Sephiroth still swoops down and kills her.
Does Aerith die in FF7 Rebirth, or does she survive Sephiroth’s attack in a twist from the original game? Learn about all events related to Aerith’s death, with an explanation of the how and why, if Aerith is really dead, and a video of all related scenes.

Does Aerith Die in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth?
Aerith’s overall fate remains the same as in the original game.

The short answer is, yes, Aerith’s fate in Rebirth is the same as it was in the original Final Fantasy 7. However, there’s a much longer answer that surrounds that, as Rebirth adds a ton of new details to the event, and introduces a whole slew of new questions and ideas, including a multiverse.
Explanation 2: Aerith Variant 2.0
Aerith dies in one reality, but not in another. For our second theory we dive into the multiverse. While the original Final Fantasy VII has only one timeline, 2020’s Remake introduces the concept of multiple timelines. At the end of the game, the party battles the Arbiters of Fate, or Whispers, creating a second timeline where Zack Fair, who previously died, lives. At the end of Rebirth, these Whispers return once more, and it seems like once again multiple realities diverge from this focal point. The screen flashes back and forth between two scenes, one of Aerith dying and one of her surviving.
Making sense of the ending in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is quite the task – but the question that’s certainly on everyone’s lips is whether everyone’s favourite Ancient Aerith still dies at the end of the game.The conclusion of Disc One in the original 1997 release has proven to be one of gaming’s most iconic moments – and remains still a spoiler for the ages nearly 30 years later, but much of the game’s narrative astutely plays on both our own knowledge, and perhaps even the character’s awareness of her death, as I strongly praised in our glowing review.
Yes, Aerith still dies in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth…but it’s complicated. Despite Final Fantasy VII Remake asserting that the crew could defy fate by defeating the Whisper Harbingers working to keep the “canon” story in place, this specific event still happens in the Remake timeline. But where it gets messy is in how it acts as a center point for an elaborate multiverse play.
In other words, when Final Fantasy VII Rebirth hit consoles late last month, players were faced with the possibility that Aerith could be saved—or that Square Enix might be about to pull off the biggest troll in history.(Spoiler alert: Major spoilers for Aerith’s fate in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth to follow.
