    Just that they updated the translation and started calling her by what she would have been called in FFVII if they didn't make the mistake in the original by taking the Japanese pronunciation as literal. She was always called Aerith, regardless of how it was spelled in the script.
    Aeris doesn't exist, not in English or Japanese, as technically saying Aeris isn't even how it would be pronounced in Japanese, close, but not the same. In English however.. well, its just not her name.

    If someone misspelled my name and started calling me by that misspelling it doesn't suddenly become by name. Otherwise i would have a whole host of variations over here.

    I don't understand why the hell they brought in Aerith.

    I pronounce Aeris as Air-ease.
    and Tifa as Tiff-a/Tiff-uh

    No time for "Dilly-Dallying" or "Shilly-Shallying."
    Props go to the one and only, Proxy, for the signature.

    I've never really got why people would the first syllable of Tifa as "Tiff", but I know people did. Mind you, I was completely wrong about "Yuffie" as well.

    I suppose it's better than pronouncing Midgar as "Midjar" though, which I inexplicably did when I was new to this game (even though "ga" doesn't work that way).

    Things like how you say Tifa and the FFX characters names is a matter of pronunciation, which is a different issue to "what is the girl who wears the pink dress in FFVII called".

    By the way Tei-fa is just how you say Tifa in Japanese, as in Tiffany. It is no indication as to the true pronunciation. If that was the case, Tidus would be called Tei-da (no S at all there), well, to be honest that was probably a localisation change, but anyway... Lets not confuse the issue even further by bringing in pronunciation.

    It is Aerith. Even her naming program has Aerith written in it. You just need to take a look at the programs.

    Not Aeris but Aerith, not Zakkusu but Zack, not Reina but Lenna, not Tida but Tidus, not Golbez but Golbeza.

    In my version Yuffie speaks German and English. It is still not right.

    No you don't need to do that. Not at all. Only a prick would do that.

    For anyone who played the English version of the game... she is called Aeris.
