what Aerith is to Aeris is not even anywhere close to what Pokemon is to Pocket Monsters


Both have their names changed outside of Japan. People want Aeris changed back to Aerith and has been done a few times.

That's not correct. Aeris is literally a typo. The only place in the game's data where it appears is in the US version naming scene. If you skip the naming scene using a sequence break glitch, the game automatically dumps her into your party as Aerith.

It means the localization team went out of their way to be wrong.

This is NOT the same thing as, for example, Tina - Terra. Her name was Tina in Japan because they wanted an exotic sounding name. Well it turns out in the west Tina is actually a common name so it was localized/changed deliberately to maintain idiomatic accuracy.

Canonizing a fucking error is absolutely not the way to handle the remake.

See: the fate community is all rioting over "Altria" right now.

It's also why Sailor Neptune and Uranus are definitely not cousins.

So her name is Aeris on literally the only screen that matters, and it requires glitching the game to get Aerith.

Aeris is the correct name confirmed.

Mostly the former, but Aeris is objectively better regardless of how it came about.

Aerith is the correct name confirmed.

The name Aerith is also found in the debug room. You know, that hidden room only the developers are supposed to be able to access so they can access different parts of the game quickly.

It's also Aerith in the latest trailer.

Aeris was an actual spelling in the games. There has been no use of Tie-dus in games.

And some errors just get accepted and preferred over the original or what is correct.

The Koopalings are Bowsers children because thats what is said in the instruction booklet and cartoon. Although I use the game names for the Koopalings than the cartoon names.

I use the name Dr. Robotnik instead of Dr. Eggman.

And yes, I say Aeris because thats her name in the game I played.

Aeris was a mistranslation

Pokemon was a deliberate rename


Aeris was a deliberate rename. You can tell, because there's a western demo that kept it with the TH so it was changed to S sometime after translation but before the full game was released.

Pocket Monsters was changed to avoid a trademark conflict with Monster in my Pocket.

Considering Square has been calling her "Aerith" in all localized appearances after FFVII tells me that it was a mistranslation and was totally supposed to be "Aerith."

So no, it's not the same thing.

Sega did the same with Robotnik by calling him Eggman in modern games. He will always be Robotnik to me though since thats what it was when I played the games as a kid.

And I prefer Princess Toadstool than Princess Peach for the same reason. Super Mario 64 had both names in her letter at the start. It was like Princess Peach Toadstool is her full name and she gave Mario permission to use her first name when addressing her.
