Retranslation Project of FF7 IN PROGRESS

[seiferalmasy2]

yes I don't quite understand it. Maybe the english translators decided they were not going to pronounce it that way because it sounds like a lisp, or because they were kow towing to the hardened FF fanbase/.

Either way, you cannot pronounce a th like an s in the english language (especially when the root word was Earth). Anyone who argues this is talking pure nonsense. a th is th, not s and all the debate and retcons in the world is sadly not going to change that fact, nor change the fact that her name is Aerith.
