Is there an FFVII Aeris Mod?

So I was reading xkcd back catalog today. And saw this

Does anyone know if there actually was this hack? I played Chrono right before this game when I was kid. So I was totally suprised back then when you couldn't get her back (I mean come on how are you supposed to get her level 4 limit breaks in the time before she dies?)

There isn't a really a mod for it, the easiest way is just to use a gameshark. If you're playing on the PC, then I would use a game save trainer.

Okay so with a gameshark you are just adding her back as a chacter. There isn't like a fan made side quest to get her back?

I know about the Game Shark method, but I've never seen a patch for it. Kinda surprising that no one has done that, considering the ridiculous reaction to her death (even in 2010, there's still threads about it!).

Probably because she's missing from every cut scene after she dies, it's probably too hard to reprogram for that (I'm guessing).

Also, I think there might have been a bug when you use the Game Shark method, though I don't recall what it was.

Nope. Hacking console based games is practically impossible, otherwise I'm certain this would have come up. I'd imagine the reasons are the same for the pc version, considering that it was a port.

There are quite a few, actually. Mostly you have to be careful about having Aeris in your party during plot related events, because she'll make the game hang. Usually this is because the game is waiting for the third party member to give their dialogue, but because Aeris shouldn't be there she doesn't have any and the game freezes. You can always get around this by just taking her out of the party when necessary.

Thanks everyone. I didn't think I would play through ff7 just to play as Aeris. But that would have been an awesome testament to ff7 fandom.

Aeris Mom never dies in the game, but her father is nowhere to be found. Maybe Aeris mom will have younger Aeris in the future of FF7 ps3. P.S. I havent played ff7 for a long time.
