Yeah, the Japanese have no real TH-sound, so they approximate it with a T-sound or, far more commonly, an S-sound. Sephiroth is "sefirosu," for example.
I don't recall Sephiroth killing in any manner other than quickly and cleanly He didn't seem to just go on wanton killing sprees either..he eliminated those in his way, or those who directly opposed him for the most part...the only exception was Nibleheim.
While I don't agree that she's "the best" character in video game history... she's indeed a very great character and she really didn't deserve to die. However... Aeris death was vital for the storyline. It made the story more tragic and touching. Aeris death scene is without a doubt 1 of the most touching scenes in video game history.Quote:

As Kishi said, both are valid. I called her Aerith far before KH came out, and many others did as well. It's a matter of personal preference.
I call her aeris. It just seems wrong for me to do otherwise. I even named her aerith in my first game so I'd try to get away from that, but it didn't work.
aerith does sound prettier though:)
I believe it says Aeris in the manual, does it not? And yes, the language translation is true, the TH to S change is valid. But, we aren't in Japan, now, are we?
Yes, it does say Aeris in the manual. But it says Aerith in Kingdom Hearts. So either is valid. It really doesnt matter where in the world we are.
it's the same thing, can we leave it at that and go on about your killing spree :whimper:
How do you know that?Quote:

I think Sephy should have sliced her head off in one swift motion so we could see the blood squirting out of her and-
*cough*
I just call her Aeris...Aerith sounds wrong. Like a.
Go Kishi! As it has been said, this is a FAMILY oriented (or rated E ) website, except teen-oriented stuff directly rating to the game. If you want to mouth off, you're gonna get banned!!! Seriously, they DO kick out people who don't clean up their act after several warnings. So congrats to Kishi & any other 'cleaner' adminastrator. This is proof that they're really good people here...
Thanks- BudSoda02 BudSoda02@yahoo.com
p.s. Adminastrators: close up this thread & delete it permenantly. This' my suggestion.
Uhm.
Haha, he thinks Kishi is clean. Classic.
