Aerith death scene comparison Final Fantasy VII Rebirth & Original

Summary:
Sephiroth intends to use the Black Materia to call the Ultimate Destructive Magic—Meteor—to heavily injure Gaia. By placing himself at the center of its impact zone, Sephiroth intends to merge with the lifestream as it emerges to heal the planet's wound, and become a god.
Cloud acquires the Black Materia, but Sephiroth exerts his influence over Jenova's cells that reside within Cloud, and takes control of him, forcing him to hand the Materia over. Realizing she may be the only one able to stop Sephiroth, Aerith ventures to the City of the Ancients to use the White Materia to summon Holy, the only power able to counter Meteor.
In a temple underneath the city, Cloud and the party find Aerith praying on an altar. As Cloud approaches her, Sephiroth attempts to take control of him and kill her with the Buster Sword, but Cloud resists.
Original:
As Aerith finishes praying, Sephiroth descends from the ceiling and impales her with the Masamune. Dying, Aerith collapses into Cloud's arms as her hair ribbon unravels, the White Materia bouncing off the altar into the water below.
Enraged, Cloud turns on Sephiroth, who turns out to be another disguised part of Jenova. Cloud and his allies fight Jenova∙LIFE, and after Jenova is dispatched, Cloud carries Aerith to the pool of water in the center of the city, and lays her body to rest beneath the water.
Rebirth:
Cloud is seemingly able to block Sephiroth's Masamune using his Buster Sword in order to prevent him from impaling Aerith. However, reality then distorts into one where Sephiroth succeeded in stabbing Aerith, potentially due to Sephiroth rewriting reality using the Whispers. Dying, Aerith collapses into Cloud's arms as her hair ribbon unravels, the White Materia bouncing off the altar into the water below as her hair is let loose.
A battle ensues first between the party and Jenova-Lifeclinger, and then between Cloud (separated from his friends) and the party against Sephiroth himself. Near the end of the battle Aerith apparently arrives to aid Cloud in a final two-on-one fight, however it is unclear whether this is really her alive or a manifestation from the Lifestream. Given how the final scenes of the game show the entire party except for Cloud grieving Aerith's death, as well as Cloud conversing with an Aerith no one else can see, it is implied that the final portion of this fight occurred within Cloud's mind, similar to the final battle with Sephiroth in the original game, and that this Aerith was created as a mental defense mechanism by Cloud's rapidly deteriorating mind to protect him from the grief acknowledging her death would cause him, and to help him temporarily resist Sephiroth's growing control (albeit in a way that adds yet another misconception in his already unstable patchwork identity).
