It's been like sixty years and people still haven't gotten over Aerith

That's sort of a different situation of its own as well.

When you retcon something like 8 years later, people will be annoyed. When you retcon something from one of the most popular video games of all time 8 years later, people are going to tell you to fuck off. Same reason so many people still call bullshit on Greedo shooting first (or both shooting simultaneously. Or Maclunky).

People who like to claim "Oh, it was always Aerith, it was just mistranslated originally" are basically full of shit, because the actual Japanese is Earisu, which easily sounds more like Aeris than Aerith.

It wasn't until Kingdom Hearts that Square decided they didn't like that version of her name because it kind of lost the originally intended meaning of "Cloud and Earth" (which they poorly Romanized into Japanese in the first place), but by that point a lot of FFVII fans had stopped giving a shit what Square had to say about anything anyway.
