What I want to know is why some people refer to her as 'Aerith' .. just because ya have a lisp doesnt mean you have to write with one! it even sounds annoying in my head! And I knew Aeris wouldn't be resurrected, that would totally defy the point of her dying in the first place (to give Cloud the motivation he needed amongst other things)
When using the phoenetic values of Japanese Romanji (basically, "Englishized Japanese") there's no lisp. The "th" would have a sound similar to the English "s."Quote:

as for Aerith's death...it's good they never resurrected her, Final Fantasy has always been the FANTASY genre but I love that it has a very good REALITY in it
Well, if it SOUNDS like s wouldn't the correct trnslation be "Aeris"? When I see Aerith I pronounce it with the lisp so the th = s idea has failed, for me at least.Quote:

I don't understand why so many people are like OMG BRING HER BAAAAAAAAAACK. She was a good character, but she fulfilled her portion of the story. If she could come back, FFVII wouldn't be as good as it is. Period the end. Lala.
Well they shouldnt have translated it with 'th' then, plus I really have a thing about lisps, they go right through me (no offence to anyone) it just sounds better with an 's'. Not that its important or anything.Quote:

Thats amazing, I thought I knew a lot, but this guy . Reminds me of a close mate of mine who knows almost every loophole round the British law. And can speak several languages. Fascinates me!
Squall of SeeD - You're fingers amuse me.
Well, I glad someone finally cleared this all up. Aerith has to many rumors around her, it's kinda annoying after a while, at first, I thought it was funny though.
Aerith and Aeris and said the same way, ok people!! Geez... the japanese use the character "su" for the english "th" sound, so it's directly translated as "Aerith", but the translators didn't want to confuse english players so they spelled it as it was said: "Aeris"
However that created more probelms of course... I hope AC spells it Aerith and says Aeris so people might understand this.
well done squall of seed, you have finally cleared this up in a very well known FF forum, so hopefully this will spread, along with the evidence. :thumb:
Wow.. thanks.
