Aerith's Resolution for Chapter 14, I really liked all three. The story change implications are strong with this scene and It's worth a million re-watches. As a major fan of the original I have many theories based mainly on this being a reset universe and not a replacement for the original events. I've compiled a list of the various things Aerith says during the game that tells me she knows all events until the end where she was nervous for the first time all game. I am willing and able to accept these as simple changes to the plot though, this is all for fun!

-She immediately knew he was a merc "Oh!" Surprised, she corrected herself immediately. "I guessed by the sword."
-When asked about the whispers in chapter 8 "I think...no, nevermind."
-Aerith speaks the facts about the Turks that Cloud told her in the original game.
-When Cloud tells her he thinks Sephiroth is still alive. Aerith's "Oh, right." Is highly suspect as is the way they zoomed in on her mouth. She also runs away after to break up the topic.
-"Get Marlene, I know." In the OG Tifa has to explain to her everything, in the four times I have played the remake I can't figure out when Tifa told her about Marlene and the bar. She did see her at the train graveyard, but Tifa specifically did not elaborate.
-When Wedge asked "You don't think we are going to stop the plate from falling?" Her resolve towards the evacuation seemed steadfast.
-The odd flash with Marlene that killed Marlene's crippling shyness is suspect, though in the original we have no idea how she saves her, otherwise it's a nice touch for Marlene's sake. It is the second time the young girl has had her home destroyed in totality, she deserves some comfort.

I'm not set in my ways here and would love someone who also knows all this to theorize with.
