Hello Everyone,
     The following is my opinion about Final Fantasy VII's ending.  All this
 information is based on what I played, opinions of people here, and other
 facts.
     When the crew is flying on their plane and winessing the destruction of
 Midgar, Holy has the opposite affect.  It starts pulling the Meteor, not
 destroying it.  
     Then the life stream appears (green streams) and destroys everything 
 that's bad for the planet.  Now this includes humans.  Aeris appears 
 because she's in the life stream.  Since the life stream is out of the 
 planet, you can see her.
     Five hundred years later, Red XIII's children are with him.  He must 
 have told them the story.  He's going to show his kids what happened after
 the disaster.  You notice that Midgar hasn't been touched by a human in 
 years, because humans died.  If they lived, you'd think that they'd send a 
 rescue team in to see if anyone survived.
     Then the screen fades an you hear children laughing.  This is very easy
 to explain.  It's not humans.  Since Red XIII's race can talk, that was the
 voices of his children.
     I firmly believe that's what really happened.  Give your opinion.
