Was going through my old photos and found some dumb memes I made in 2016. This was one of them.

WAIT YOU ARE TELLING ME NOW 27 YEARS LATER THAT A FUCKING GAMESHARK COULD KEEP AERIS ALIVE?!?!
Aeris gang
That was one of the last “urban myths” of video games, that there was some above-board way in FFVII to keep Aerith from getting you-know-what.
Isn’t herobrine more recent than that?
The problem with something like herobrine is it’s too easy in the age of the internet to figure out that it’s just a myth. Before things could be fact checked, it was a lot easier for myths to spread about hidden secrets in games.
Are you saying Luigi is not in Super Mario 64?
definitely, that was like 2010.
Bigfoot in San Andreas was pretty popular.
There are actually easter eggs and secrets in games that have legitimately never been found, the YouTube channel oddheader has some good videos about them. https://www.youtube.com/@oddheader
Oh sure there’s legit Easter eggs out there, but for every legit one there was a dozen unsubstantiated rumors or Mandela effects.
All the stuff I read was never about preventing it, you had to follow a long ass quest chain and retrieve the life materia to resurrect her.
“Sonic and Tails unlockable in Smash Melee” was another good’n
there was always allegedly a code to let Guile use a pistol kids would swear they seen it
Sephiroth stabbed you to death? It’s okay babe I got the life materia, gameshark.
Acktually if you had a Gameshark, you wouldn’t have to level up your characters
its a banger
huh?
Kids these days don’t even know about the gamer shork
smdhmh
There used to be program injecting devices you could get for consoles. It started all the way back on the original NES and it was called a Game Genie. By the playstation days of FF7 there was one for the playstation called a game shark.
By hooking it into your console you could then follow created instructions that could do all sorts of fantastical things to your games. Invincibility, moonwalking (jump and keep jumping more, slowly falling instead of a normal fall), play as odd characters, make the colors look funny, speed up or slow down the game, stop time, soup up your power or nerf it.
What this meme is referencing would be using it to (spoiler alert) keep Aerith in your game, instead of what was a 90’s rpg fans biggest shock moment in gaming history. Like. Holy shit. Hours of gaming and story building and her being the clutch healer of the party. The most wholesome of the group. Ruthlessly murdered. Never to return.
