Well it is the same with everything. I am not saying that all FF fans are unyeilding but there is definately a very vocal crowd that despise change and will not accept a fact. We still get the old "Aeris/Aerith" question years after it was established what it is and why.
In every series and every fanbase there are a very hardened group, usually large, that will not yield even in the face of facts. I think that is what is going on with Aerith....first it was a blind "no" to any suggestion it might be wrong, and now we have the next best thing "well yes it is Aerith but it is still pronounced Aeris"
Clutching at straws springs to mind.
I don't mind people preferring Aeris...even I do. But when these small issues are being blown up and people aren't saying "well I know it is aerith but I don't like it" and instead are trying desperately to cling on to a flaw, that irritates me somewhat
To be fair it hasn't happened on this forum nearly as much as elsewhere and people here seem on the whole to be open minded.
If only the translation team had got it right the first time...a load of stress and confusion could ahve been avoided. (I am now seeing myself spinning on the spot. Damn that confuse!)
