What is up with this

[Spawn of Sephiroth]

why do people call Aeris " Aerith"

it simply says in the game how it is spelled, so why do people call her that

[Ryushikaze]

Because Aerith is correct, and Aeris was a since corrected mistranslation.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

It was Sony who handled FFVII's translation, and among numerous other mistakes, they called her "Aeris." But Aerith is the spelling that Square, the people who actually developed the game, have always used for the character.

[Xurts]

Yeah, but I think Aeris is better.

[Sefie1999AD]

I mostly use Aeris because for me it's easier to pronounce and faster to type. However, she's called Aeris only in FFVII. She's Aerith in every other version: FFVII soundtrack, FFVII AC, KH and probably KH2 too.

[vorpal blade]

Indeed, she was only "Aeris" in FFVII and i believe FFT. All other times she is "Aerith." And I, too, like "Aeris" more; "Aerith" sounds too grown-up. 'Course in Japanese, it's spelled the same way (earisu), so it's an understandable mistake that I would have made too. But what other mistranslations were there?

[Diddy21]

i dont think it really matters. just type either one u like

[Zeromus_X]

I like Aerith. Not only because it's her real name, but because it just sounds pretty.

[Pure Aerisbeauty7]

I like Aerith but, I like Aeris. It sounds better.

[Marly]

I'm used to Aeris, but Aerith sounds prettier. Either way, it's the same person, just a couple letters difference.

[Levian]

Like my friend G Spotz once said: Aerith sounds like you have a lisp.

I remember seeing scans from the japanese version of the game in a magazine back in 1997, and everything was in japanese except the names, and her name was Aerith there. I found that pretty strange back then.

[Hambone]

I like Aerith. Not only because it's her real name, but because it just sounds pretty.

[BottledJustice]

I'm thorry, but Aerith juth dothn't thound attractive to me. Thue me.
