4.1.6 - Why can't I resurrect Tellah, General Leo, Aeris, etc.?
In almost every Final Fantasy game, there is at least one character
central to the story who dies. While it's always possible to revive
fallen partners through Life spells or Fenix Downs or Life potions,
there are several characters which Square's writers killed off
purposely:
Most of the characters who die do so in order to advance/thicken the
game's story.
Here's a summary of the characters (playing & non-playing) who die:

but can later be revived.
