Aerith all the way. :dance:
Well, mostly because I think Aerith looks/sounds waaaay prettier than Aeris. Aeris sounds pretty, but then when you get to the 'IS' at the end, its like she crash-landed her name. :lmao: I like Aerith cause it sounds pretty all the way through. Also, Aerith is more of an "air" and "earth" thing. Pronounced "air-ith" of course. I, being a weird pronunciation/spelling freak, will refuse to use but the correct translation/pronunciation of anything. I am a freak. :lmao: And, if I did say Aeris, which I DON'T :lmao: it would be "air-IS"....Which doesn't sound very pretty. :sweat: Yup! I stick to correctness...Which is why "Aerith" is the way I go. :whistle: Yeah...I'm rambling now. :sweat:

Her name is always a pain. Earisu to Aeris to Aerith. Even some people say Earith! And I've heard a few reasons for each. I'll just give one for both. For Aeris - Aeris is latin for air or cloud. I actually know this cause my brother is a very advanced latin student. As for Aerith - Aerith is an anagram of "earth" with i added to it to show her connection to the planet. Hm...kinda reminds of Orgination 13's anagram + x thing. If you really want the true answer then fly me out to Japan and I shall hunt down Tetsuya Nomura and force him to tell me! lol

I dunno. I've always called her Aeris. In my game of FF7 her name was Aeris. But I suppose it depends on how you wanna say it. Aerith kinda sounds (to me, now that i'm used to it being Aeris) like saying it with a lisp...

Aerith is her real official name, Aeris is a mistranlation from Sony for the English version of the game years ago ( Note that Square fixed this when showing parts of FFVII in FFVII Reminence on the Advent Children disc) So I guess it depends on whether you want to use her real name or the mistranlation just because you like it :P

And those are ancient. Most likely the new manual and strategy guide for the remake if they did one would show Aerith.

I really doubt Square would've allowed such a large translation mistake. Probably they decided they liked Aerith better or something. *shrugs* I prefer Aeris, doesn't sound like I have a lisp :D

Maybe intentional, maybe not?

Elmina to Elmyra, Sierra to Shera... maybe they need better proof-readers (god forbid they turned Sephiroth into Sephiros). XD
