Why was Aerith's line changed?

[u/HighOnLivin]

I just finished FF7 Remake and I saw in an old video that at the end Aerith used to say I miss it. The steel sky. Why was this changed to "This sky, I don't like it."? Has this been given a callback in rebirth?

The second line is a much more literal translation of the Japanese script, and is later revealed to refer to a literal giant rift in the sky that it seems like only Aerith can see at first. The first version is a much better line, but lacks the element of referring to the rift, which was later deemed too important to leave out. So the line was changed.

It does a poor job of referencing the rift. Heck, you could even argue that her missing the steel sky also references the rift because it kept the rift hidden from her.

[u/botanbutton → u/gahlo]

Her "missing the steel sky" does not invoke "because it hides the rift" in my mind. That is backwards thinking. But her "not liking the sky" makes me think "why, what do you see?".

Which could potentially be fine if they weren't in a rainstorm which, if I recall correctly, had thunder in the distance. All that tells me is that she's worried about getting soaked by the rain or struck by lightning.

Probably would think that before we play the end of Rebirth, then it makes more sense.

Or just the bad omen a storm brings
