I agree with you Anony.

It always annoyed me how "dead" is a four letter word for SE when it comes to characters. Tidus comes back, Aeris keeps on acting even though she "dies" rather spectacularly.

It just seems exploitive to the character. Let them die, make it sad. It's a good story. I mean how dumb would it be if Romeo and Juliet came back and said "We've been alive this whole time! "
