I always leave Aeris too, i'd rather level up the characters that don't get killed half way through! Yeah the motorcycle sequence is great. I like the motorcycle game in the Gold Saucer too.

Yeah, I know what you mean about Barrett. My sister never uses him. She just plain doesn't like his style of fighting. I use all my characters though. They all come in handy at some points in the game.

Aww.. Use Aeris, She's one of my absolute favorite characters. I had to put the controller down and take a walk after the Aeris/Sep scene. Only part in any game or movie thats ever made me feel so angy/sad/depressed/hateful. And I dont like Barret either. I always use Cloud (of course), Aeris, Cid, Vincent and Tifa. I vary between them.

I was kind of bummed out the first time I played through the game since I had devoted a lot of time leveling Aeris and having her learn her limits only to have her ...well you know. The second time through I barely used her other than just an emergency healer. On a sidenote though, it's always fun to go back and replay great titles like thie every once in awhile. I find myself doing that quite a bit even if I have new games I haven't played yet. Maybe that's why my game backlog is so long
