http://rpgpalace.gamersuplink.com/games/ff7/script/ff7disc2.txtThe tapes are near the top...if you read them:
The Daughter records always confused, me. The naming of Aeris....IF it's a girl she'll be named Aeris that's that....
10 days after birth.....I think it should have been read 10 days after conception....or 10 days, before birth...
Then, Hojo waited 2 years...for this new sample, Aeris? but the tape is labled 20 days after birth. Aeris seems to be already born in this tape, though. But the counterdiction lies in the 2 years or 20 days....
I think it's 20 days....so Aeris is about 3 weeks old when Hojo takes her and Ifalna. I don't think they escaped....Hojo took them to Shinra Headquarters, and later they made the escape to the lower sections....
Aeris is about 7 or 8 years old when she is taken in by Elmyra
quote:
Elmyra
"Aerith is an Ancient. The sole survivor."
Barret
"...What did you say? But, aren't you her mother?"
Elmyra
"...Not her real mother. Oh... it must have been 15 years ago..."
"...during the war. My husband was sent to the front. Some far
away place called Wutai."
http://rpgpalace.gamersuplink.com/games/ff7/script/ff7disc1.txtProof of Escape from Shinra:
"Aerith and I became close very quickly. That child loved to
talk. She used to talk to me about everything."
(We are back at the living room, but some time past. Aerith as a young
girl runs down the stairs, then trips on the rug. Elmyra rises from the
table, helps her up, hugs her, then Aerith scampers out the front door.
The living room disappears off the top of the screen.)
"She told me she escaped form some sort of research laboratory
somewhere. And that her mother had already returned to the planet, so she
wasn't lonely... and many other things."
