The latest batch of Final Fantasy concept art Square Enix shared shows what Aerith looks like when she was seven years old. There are moments in the game when younger versions of Cloud, Tifa, and Aerith appear. The latest images suggest the design decisions behind her kid self. There’s also a piece of FFVII Remake art depicting Aerith with her mother, Ifalna, when she was a child and the two were living in Shinra custody.

First, here’s the art showing child Aerith and her mother Ifalna together ahead of the events of FFVII Remake.

Next, here are two pictures showing Aerith in outfits she’d worn as a kid.

Finally, here’s how the child version of Aerith looked during a portion of FFVII Remake. During one segment, we see flashbacks of her lost and alone as a little kid.

The release of the remake meant that people now got to see Aerith at three different ages. She’s an adult when the adventures of FFVII begin. In Crisis Core: FFVII, she’s a teenager. In FFVII Remake, there are flashback moments when she’s a child.
