(first thing i thought of with all the eclipse talk lately, lol)

I was on vacation for a couple of weeks, resumed the quest for platinum (and 100% playlog just because) on returning home. put off trying Rulers of the Outer Worlds as long as I could and finally got around to it and did it, after many hours spent... pure cheese strats helping to breeze through the first four fights, couldn't get through 5th until seeing a video that was just showing a straightforward -aga stunlock and worked like a charm. What a relief that's over with.

....still have some painful solo challenges and the legendary challenges to go (and Chapter 14 hard mode) but the end is in sight.

I do think the Aerith at the end is very much in the lifestream. You could call her dead, or a ghost, but she can hop between dimensions so she's definitely still around.

Also agreed, though where I'm a little stumped is whether it's just your consciousness that can move between worlds or your whole physical body. Like, we saw Cloud and Aerith take over the comatose ones in the Zack-verse. My impression of Biggs re-telling his story sounded like a similar deal for him.

However, while I was assuming the Zack and Aerith fights w/ Cloud at "edge of creation" were fights in his mind w/ their respective consciousnesses teaming up with him, Zack's whole body and not just his consciousness was being sent to and fro in that final battle sequence & in the ending?? I also thought maybe only Cloud could see Aerith because her consciousness was still residing with him after the final battle but the fact Red XIII could sense her is like, yeah... lifestream ghost? Maybe without a body to consciousness-shift into, the other Aerith is just a ghost in our world that only Cloud can see due to the fate-breaching event?

Also means there are two different Aeriths right now, technically? "our" Aerith who died and is in the lifestream, and "other" Aerith who's in the world where she survived, popped over to help Cloud in his final battle, and goes back to her "second home" in the other world at the game's end?
