    In the Japanese dialogue for Crisis Core, she introduces herself to Zack by name. It's in one of the trailers; subtitled as "Aerith", and pronounced as something like "eh-ristu". I'm assumings she'll make the same introduction in the English version, so we'll have a definitive pronunciation of Aerith at last.

    this has been made many times before... now its not translation confusion persay but they didnt want people to put enphisis on the "TH" since that sound in japanese is an "s" sound

    It wasnt a spelling mistake. It has to do with pronunciation. Her name in FFVII is Aeris. Plain and simple. You cant argue that.

    If her name is spelled 'Aeris', you'd say it Aeris. If her name is spelled 'Aerith', you'd say it Aerith.

    I named her Aerith on my new game.

    Or any horrible name I chose to throw at her.
    AerisPOOO is an all time favourite of mine.

    I call her Aeris, simply because it's easier to say. Oh, and I could ridiculously split hairs about how being Aeris instead of Aerith sets her apart from Sephiroth in the good/evil thing but I don't generally deal in bull and thus do not believe any such theory. I just came up with it ten seconds ago and am now cursing myself for it, and shall be adequately punished later... most likely in the form of staring at my copy of FF7 on the PSone and lamenting over my lack of a memory card to play it.

    Actually, I can. In the demo, and in several thousand copies, I forget exactly how many, her default name is still Aerith.

    So even in the American version, her name is Aerith.

    As it is spelled, in english in her official art profile.

    It's Aerith. Get over yourself.

    Im callin bull on this. Several thousand copies? If that were so, then everyone would be runnin around callin her "Aerith." And I dont recall a demo even being made for FFVII. And whats this "official art profile" your speaking of. If you have links to any of this FROM Sqauresoft, then I'll believe you. Otherwise, I think your lying through your teeth.

    You guys clearly don't have much else going on if you're going to fight over the name of a video game character. Let's cool it.

    And funny that, a damn good portion of the demographic do.

    And I dont recall a demo even being made for FFVII.
    Google it.

    And whats this "official art profile" your speaking of.
    The original art, drawn by Nomura, with character details in Japanese, and her name in English and Katakana. All the characters have them.

    If you have links to any of this FROM Sqauresoft, then I'll believe you. Otherwise, I think your lying through your teeth.

    Does a "C Nomura" count?
    Also, "you're" lying though your teeth. Since a possesive of lying through my teeth makes no sense.

    Well, if you listen to the choir in One Winged Angel, they're pronouncing the name, "SEF ih ROSS." That's not how we pronounce it here, and it makes me want to buy what people are saying about the pronounciation of TH in Japan. I always wondered about that and if it had any connection to the spelling change of Aeris' name. Now I can sleep soundly.
