Talk about a coincidence!

Aerith's key art
Since the release of the original FF7 each main character's had a dedicated key art.
They mostly remained unaltered in the Remake because their symbolism applies to both entries, while Aerith and Yuffie's changed in order to fit the themes of this new installment.
In the first picture Aerith was looking at the Highwind, but in the new one the airship's disappeared...why?
In the OG she wished she could fly on the Highwind one day. Probably this key art was meant to give to the player the illusion she could fulfill her dream and continue the adventure with her companions, in order to make more painful and unexpected her destiny.
I think her Remake key art has a totally different meaning. The central point of this picture is not the absence of the airship but the fact that she's staring at the blue sky:
The last line of the Remake makes more sense in Japanese
The sky, I hate it.
It links up better with the scene of Crisis Core where she perceived Zack's death while it started raining.
But maybe this time there's a chance...
This new picture has also a parallel with Tifa's key art: both staring at the sky, both relating it to a special person❤️
