Alice's leading role in Final Fantasy 7 before her death is all in her. As a result, she was suddenly stabbed in the chest by boss without any last words. After death, there is the animation of sinking lake, a very classic performance. After death, countless players couldn't believe that Alice died like this. They found ways to resurrect again and again. Finally, they faced the reality - Alice is dead. It's also hard to heal the trauma caused by hope failure.

First, after Final Fantasy 3D remake, the leading female is stabbed to death. Before remake of Final Fantasy, it was all pixel games. But Final Fantasy 7 was saffroth's higher sword from the sky down through Alice's body. The degree of shock was obviously not a level.

Secondly, before the plot of Final Fantasy 7, there have been many layers of foreshadowing, including Alice's own fate, the fate of the planet, the fate of safirus, and the fate of Claude. Before that, Claude was still in a state of madness, which also led to the change of Claude (with the help of Tifa) in the future. It can be said that Alice's death is an indispensable part of the plot, rather than a scene simply used to deceive tears.

Third, after sudden death, Claude held Alice's body for a while, which was also a classic CG 3D shot. I remember that there was a similar plot in Seed Destiny. All in all, in the process of game filmization, this plot can't be skipped, and in the plot arrangement, it does have a shocking effect on the players.

After all, the main reason why Alice's death is so unforgettable is that it's too real. To be exact, it's like real death. Most of the time, the death of characters in the game has a strong foresight or purpose. You can feel her dying / understand why she's dying. But Alice's death was very sudden. Her death did not achieve any purpose. She died simply, without any sign or result.

Another point is that the most painful feeling for people's death is not that they have just lost that moment of grief, but that they are permanently missing this person's sense of loss in the future. In terms of game mechanism, Final Fantasy 7 only has a role of special treatment, that is, Alice (of course, she can also be a wizard, but she is still the most suitable role for treatment). I don't have to say how important treatment is for jrpg. Without Alice, your team will never be complete. You can only take the incomplete team to finish the goal.
