Aerith sounds like the lispy equivalent of Aeris. Which bothers me. A lot. And makes me naturally prefer Aeris.

Plus, I played it back in 1997 and the game itself had her listed as "Aeris" so that's what I got attached to. (And can you blame me?)

I didn't get internet until 1999, and it was slow. Werent a lot of good gaming websites that talked about stuff.

Wasn't until Kingdom Hearts that people saw her called Aerith....and people wondered why. Then we learned about the translation error. But the damage was already done by then.

Millions of gamers had experienced her as "Aeris" in their hearts and minds. Got attached to her. Made those memories. [SPOILERS FOR ALL TWO PEOPLE ON GAMEFAQS WHO NEVER PLAYED ONE OF THE MOST CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED GAMES OF ALL TIME THAT IS OVER 20 YEARS OLD]Saw her die. Felt the pain.[END SPOILERS]

And then to find out that her name was actually supposed to sound like the same thing....but with a lisp? It was kinda ridiculous. Hard to accept.

And even in 2020....many refuse to accept it.

She is "Aeris" for many of us. And always will be.
