I was just wondering this but ive seen quite a few place that Aeris is called Aerith. I dont get it. Is that what she is called in America or Japan or sumithing cause I'm from the UK and she is called Aeris here.

her name was originally Aerith, that means earth.
but it was only like that in japan, i hav no idea why they changed, i think aerith is cooler

Yep Aerith is cooler definetly, i call her that always, it's just better ^^

Well im use to callin her Aeris

Someone once told me that Aeris and Aerith have the same pronounciation. If it's true or not, I don't know.

Depends what part of the world you're in. As for the name thing, Aerith is Japanese and Aeris is English.

This was discussed before, Im sure of it.

Let it be discussed again... I'm sure it'll appeal to SOMEONE o_O

the few that havent been in the shrine for too long.

Like me...

You didnt miss much. So no worries.

Well i wasn't here for more than 2 months...so...i guess i missed pretty much lol..

Too late :(

Meh.

^ great input

I hate the word 'meh'. It is such a stupid word.

I agree.

Ive not been here long so I will just say.

Aeris sounds like a proper name, similar to the star sign.

and Aerith sounds the same only pronounced by someone with a lisp.

Aerith sounds cooler obviously....and yeah, wasn't there like 3 of these topics

Aerith/Aeris has a different REAL name
It is Dark Ruler Shadow Hawk 7X90.

You are one funny guy.

No way, actually Aerith is a different pronounciation because half of teh Cetra call her Aerith and the other Aeris because one half has part of holy implanted in them and she goes by both names, yeh thats y cos its tru really.

Wow... no...

yeah i havwent been here long, its only my second day here.
i wish i named aeris "aerith" instead in my game, i just started ff7 and ive been playing 16 hours, five of which i spent getting my level up.

umm...Aeris sounds better..ppl..at least to me ..maybe cuz im spanish.....

Whoa whoa.... JUST started?

... He's an ultra n00b.

Man.. no doubt...

Might as well put my two cents in: ^^

Aerith was the original name for the "flower girl" in FFVII in Japan but when it was to be realeased elsewhere they decided to change it to a smoother sounding name, which we westerners now as Aeris. It wasn`t a mess up or misspelling.

Also, what people also found out while hacking the game, is that hidden in the coding there is some script reffering to Aerith/Aeris as Earith. Early name? Coding name? You decide.

Maybe just random crap for hackers to find :laugh:

Quite possible, FFVII is filled with debugable jokes and gags.

How do you know so much!?!Where do you get all this stuff?

Just a little info, not important really but i been playing Kingdom hearts recently and they called aeris, Aerith in that game.....
So i wounder why square changing it to Aeris for europeon versions when they now stick with Aerith in later europeon game releases ?

Yeah, i think they did that because after they changed "Aerith" to "Aeris" in FFVII and saw how much confusion there was and how many theories spawned from it they decided not to take that chance anymore.

Research. :)

Respect. =) They didnt change any other names though?why change aeris at all?

Some say it comes down to pronuciation. I don`t mean to generalise but when Asian people pronounce the "th" (in Aerith) it sounds like an "s". Therefore, it sounds like a good reason to call her "Aeris" gere. It almost seems, although different spelling, the name is said the same worldwide.

I don`t know for sure but i think they`ll make it Aerith. I don`t think they`ll want a name divison in the movie.

But they wanted one in the game?

Wait and see I suppose.

inteasting im learning more stuff.

Man.. so much thought.. I'd just accept that they changed it.. No need for reasons.. except... maybe... they just wanted to spark interest and annoy a few people like myself.

maybe it's spelt aeris but like pronoun.... whatever like aerith
