Topic	Aeris is an example of messed up translation that worked
Revelation34 02/15/20 12:12:00 AM #16:	Judgmenl posted... I agree. No matter how many years go by, she is always Aeris to me. In Serial Experiments Lain there's a character called Arisu which is localized as Alice. The difference between the Japanese is Kana vs Katakana and the addition of an e () before the other half of the name. vs actually doing some googling and and show the same results for Alice. Wish I knew better Japanese. Feels like Eris would have been a better translation, but that has a different spelling. Apparently the literal translation is Aerith. Names should never be translated. streamofthesky posted... Agreed. Aeris sounds much better than Aerith. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past instruction manual's back story is another example of a translation that was "messed up" for the better. Which name? --- Gamertag: Kegfarms, BF code: 2033480226, Treasure Cruise code 318,374,355, Steam: Kegfarms <cite>Revelation34 posted [p:934398710] in Aeris is a...
