After some very long battles and missions infiltrating Shinra and the fall of one of the stations where one of the greatest misfortunes in the game occurred in which Shinra attacks one of the poorest areas of Midgard and blames the avalanche for everything and in the middle of all this chaos they kidnap AERIS and we must rescue her
We head to the house of Aeris's mother who blames Cloud for getting her into this problem, although at the same time she was sure that this day would come since her daughter who is adopted is a descendant of a race called the Cetras and is considered an elder, beings who used the vital source and this is very important since those beings know the secret of the promised land Shinra wants this power to create more weapons and the perfect soldier.
At this moment I came across the Aeris Gardens, a visual beauty. In the midst of insomnia, I decided to capture the beauty of this moment.
In contrast to the nature of the areas where Aeris lives, I realize that Midgard is mostly metal; it is a futuristic utopia where steel predominates, giving the sensation of something much more mechanical.
And the disaster caused by the fall of one of the platforms on those who live below in this area, however at this point the views of a sunset predominate and give that tone of hope and warmth, contrasting with the disaster which in my opinion is all junk where there used to be a city.
After infiltrating Shinra's main headquarters, where the president of the organization is staying, we can appreciate the contrast between technology and the promised land, which is a fertile land full of magic that is shown to us through holograms, and we discover the context of the emergence of magic and materials.
I couldn't help but feel amazed by each of these sequences since to this day in the game all the explored areas are only metal and weapons and by showing these other views of something greener and purer it leaves me with the expectation of finding places like the ones I will show below and being able to explore them.
This scene that I will show below caught my attention because when I was a child, I used to go into the middle of my grandmother's garden, which was very large and had grass and some bushes that I didn't recognize. I used to go in there and lie down with a view a bit like this one, where the sun passed through the leaves, giving a serenity between shadow and light. (What memories!).
This ends with a sequence followed by a vision that Cloud has, in which we realize that Sephiroth is trying to gather the primordial materials in order to invoke a powerful and very dangerous magic which causes a meteorite to impact Midgard to create the promised land.
After these sequences and battles against monsters we find ourselves face to face again with our friend Aeris who is the center of this problem and tells us that destiny is something that cannot be changed since every time it is altered some echoes are present to avoid this and tells us how she and her mother were confined to do experiments on her, but now she is safe with her friends.
At all times I was very stressed about Aeris's outcome since I know what her destiny is, but it seems that this game has a surprise for us later.
