    Not an error, as such, but a deliberate choice to deviate from the original script for the sake of aesthetic comfort. Kind of like how Cloud is called Clad in the French translation - not a mistranslation, but simply a localisation choice

    I'm sure, IN THEORY if there were to be a remake, then they'd have voice actors, meaning renaming the characters would be verrrryyy difficult

    Oh yeah, well i'll just have to just say it loudly over the top of the voice actors when ever they say Aeris/th
    ...It is because there is a limit to time that we wish for nights that never dawn.
    Eternity is just an empty illusion and is why feelings of being able to believe in one another are born...
    Remember that well.

    I'd assume Aerith considering thats what she was in every other game in the series.

    Well, Aeris is an anagram of Raise, which is why they will use Aeris in the remake as it's possible to Raise (or Resurrect if you like) her in that game.

    But srsly, I don't care about the silly japanese, it's Aeris dammit.

    doesn't matter to me, but I would prefer the original US/PS interpretation.
