    I think we ended up establishing that both were ok. Aerith is probably more ok than the other, but I still use Aeris because it was the first name I knew.

    Aerith is the proper name, the th is pronounced as an s in Japan and the original translations picked it up as Aeris. And I remember something about Earisu meaning Earth or something like that.

    . . .I knew it was "supposed" to be Aerith before I played ff7, and I changed her name ingame to reflect that, but I still think of her as aeris.

    *shrugs* go figure.

    I just renamed her to Celes and left it at that.
    There is no signature here. Move along.

    The name, in Japanese, is pronounce the same as Heiress. Air-es. Spell it how you like, but that's the way it is meant to be spoken.

    When I played it, and when I play it now, I see "Aeris" so I pronounce it with an "s." Works for me.

    It's her name in the English version, and that's the version I play and understand. Aeris it is.

    Aeris is in the European version. Aerith is in the Japanese and American version. Now why is that? Who knows? I had aeris,thank Gawd,Aerith is so...not Aeris.

    wow, its seems like no really read the post above. in japanese there is no TH sound. well at least no "TH" as english speakers know it. The japanses "tH" sounds is basically an "S" sound. therefore, no matter how you spell it, it still sounds the same.

    It dpends on whether you've got the Japanese version or the English version. I personally like Aerith.

    I like both but I think Aerith sounds better. In other FFs and japanese games dont we often keep the spelling but pronounce it differently? Im asking because I dont have an example.
