Wait a minute. I didn't realize we were taking this position. Are you siding with fender? You know he probably likes onions, right?

The Japanese audio even SAYS Aeris

talk about a major tease smh

There's no 'th' sound in the Japanese syllabary, and being a foreign name, Aerith/Aeris would've been spelled out in katakana with the character for 's' approximating the 'th' sound. It's not a natural sound for someone who grew up speaking Japanese. That's why there's this confusion between 's' and 'th' in the first place.

Say Beth in Japanese. It's pronounced "bess". Edith is "ediss," and Catherine is "casserine."

Same for Aerith. "Aeris"

Japan doesn't have a "th" sound.

Never being burned again by SE after FFXIII.
At least the story can't be awful, depends how much they butcher the delivery of it. Oh let's face it, it's already butchered by releasing the remake in Parts. Oh, and Nomura's at the helm of it all.....X_X

Well it's Earisu in Japanese which is how they would render Aerith yes.

Strongly disagree. It does raise some questions here and there but this is probably the best decision they've made. I think where people are getting mixed up is thinking that since 7 was a couple dozen hours, each "episode" will be short af, when all appearances at this point imply that story, game world and lore will be greatly expanded since they don't have to try to squeeze everything into a single game's budget.

Which might souns like endless filler, but I imagine what we'll actually see is largely material that was originally planned but ended up getting cut from the PS1 original. Plus, it opens the possibility to deepen characters like President Shinra and Biggs/Wedge/Jessie.

People forget that you could fit an entire game in Midgar when only a small portion of the game is actual spent there.

And the "th" sound doesn't exist in Japanese so it's going to come out as "Aerisu".

Actually the way Buddha intended is Aerith. You see it's actually Aerith everywhere in the games files except the custom naming screen. If you use a sequence breaking glitch to skip past her recruitment, the game will automatically dump her into your party as Aerith.

Trailer looks good, not gonna lie. Though seeing all those extra shots of Biggs, Wedge and Jessie is giving me major unwelcome vibes of Hobbit-esque padding.

My issue is that I never would have had a problem if Aeris went the way of Tina and Butz and Atma Weapon or even my eponymous Master Pug, so long as the retranslation was an improvement. Aerith is not: it both looks and sounds inferior. Spelling / pronouncing it Aerisu in the English version would have been a much more acceptable alternative. It's still hard not to roll my eyes over seeing / hearing Aerith, if only because it's the lingering embodiment of that mid-2000's wave of Square and certain sects of its fandom caring more about being correct than being good / fun.

Tina


She got this name because they wanted an exotic sounding name to highlight her unusual place of birth.

It turns out in the west it's kind of an ordinary name so it was properly localized to something that kept with the spirit of the name choice. It was intentionally changed thus.

Butz was changed for obvious reasons.

"Aeris" is just straight up a mistake and it was never supposed to be that way.

Thank you for the history lesson I've heard a dozen times before that bears little to no relevance to the body of my post and never would have come up if I'd left those two names off the list, which I strongly considered doing when I was typing it.

It sounds like you already knew why it was a poor comparison so yeah you should not have brought it up.

How about this one.

In Final Fantasy 4 (2 USA) "Ramuh" is called "Indra"

That's the only place it appears that way. All newer versions of the game use the correct "Ramuh"

What's your take on that?

You're right, it was an off-the-cuff listing of retranslations without a tremendous amount of care or research put into it. Not surprisingly, the overly-pedantic nature you're putting on display is the same that allows a technically-correct yet shit-sounding name like Aerith to persist.

It didn't stop her from looking stellar in Advent Children.

Part of it is "boobs are bad, m'kay" and part of it is Aeris fanboys (unfortunately, the programmers in this case) trying to turn her into the Gwen Stacy of RPGs.
