About Aerith dying?

Like, this was supposed to be something shocking except there's been a huge death scene of a major character in every game leading up to it except 1 and 3.

A bunch of people died in 2, Tellah dies in 4. Anna not part of your party but she gets bombed by Golbez and the Red Wings. In 5, Galuf dies. Gilgamesh also dies but apparently not really since he shows up later. In 6, General Leo dies, and Cid probably dies.

By the time 7 rolled around, people should have been used to people dying in Final Fantasy by now.

The one thing you're overlooking: For a lot of people, FF7 was their first FF, and possibly first JRPG outright.

Even for those it weren't, unless they were latecomers to the series as a whole, they likely only played I, IV and VI. And Leo wasn't a major character in the same sense as Aeris was, leaving only IV, and one game hardly makes a pattern. This effect becomes even stronger if they started with VIII or IX, the former of which reverses the major plot death and the latter of which doesn't have one in the first place.

Also likely to be one of their first exposures to a story based game with FMV's.

Exactly.

I don't recall if it was my first JRPG but it was definitely my first FF that I ever played.

I wasn't surprised and it had no emotional effect on me.

Phantasy Star IV, though... still gets me every time.
