Aeris or Aerith?

[KeithHybrid]

It's like the Eggman vs Robotnik arguement: both names apply to the same character and are just as correct as the other.

So please, kindly shut your traps.

[Zen444]

It's M. Bison, not Balrog.

But both monikers still refer to the main character, thus the arguement that one is better than the other is pretty meaningless. You may call him Robotnik if you like, and I'll still think Eggman. Same thing when I say Eggman and you think Robotnik, and the exact same thing with Aeris/th.

*same character

[ZpLiNtEh]

it's a game, who gives a shit

[MickTheChampion]

It's Aeris, "Aerith" sounds like someone trying to say Aeris with a lisp.

[Maverick-Alex]

Just like Eggman or Robotnik, Gyiyg or Giygas, its the same.

[Some-Stupid-Idiot]

It's Pokey, not Porkey kids.

[dieordieo386]

No one cares.

[ZeldaFreak701]

It's Aerith. The name Aries was a product of lost in translation. But by the time anyone figured it out, everyone already knew here as Aries so the name stayed. Some people stick with it, but others choose to call her by her real name.

and they're both lovely!

Also for those of you asking "who cares", uhh...ITS A FUCKING VIDEO GAME FORUM! That's why we're here! Because we DO care. Geez, the retards these days...

[Oddler]

Aeris > Aerith

Robotnic > Eggman

Ryu ><

It seems like most people are just doing it so they can seem more faithful to the translation. And by that I mean, they want to be Japanese.

[SniperWolf1564]

It's Aeris. Aerith sounds like a retarded lisp.

Same name, different monikers, doesn't really matter.
Robotnik is Eggman, Eggman is Robotnik.
M. Bison (the boxer) is Balrog (again, the boxer).
Porky is Pokey.

It's both. Call it what you want, but don't rag on others because they call it something else.

You have yet to see how annoying Japanophiles get.

I think I'm turning Japanese, I think I'm turning Japanese, I really think so.

Wait, isn't that song about masturbation.

[LeeJaySan]

In the US version of FF7, the name was Aerith! But in the Japanese version, it was Aeris!

Now let this be a lesson! Damn it!

Lololol. But, M. Bison was called Vega in Japan.

Whatever man, I'm not a Japanese obsessed faggot like yourself.

[Noodleboy111]

Aeris, because even though I've never played any Final Fantasy games, I've spent the most of my life hearing Aeris, not Aerith.

[Haoie]

Aeris.

And, Robotnik.

I don't mind when people make that mistake, but I get pissed when they try to correct me as if I'm the one who's wrong.

Anyways, the way I see it is: your two naming situations are different. For both those names, either one is fine, but the reasons for using different ones are different. If you say "Robotnik" instead of "Eggman," you have a love of nostalgia. If you say "Aerith" instead of "Aeris," you're an elitist Japanophile...and probably a traitor to this country :P

Also, from what I understand: M. Bison, Balrog, and Vega are THREE TOTALLY DIFFERENT CHARACTERS!!!

[OMGpoi]

It's not the same as Eggman/Robotnik or Rockman/Mega Man.
It was a mistake in translation so Aeris is actually a mistake and incorrect.
If you like to be wrong and retarded then cool go with Aeris.
I however like to be correct and better than you all, so Aerith is the proper way to go.

What in the hell are you doing here, this is a forum for gamers.

But that was the name used in the entire English game, so English-speaking audiences have adopted "Aeris" as the name to call the character. You can call her whatever you want, but if you say that the other name is "wrong," you're just a Japanophile snob, and certainly not better than anybody. That's like getting pissed at someone for spelling "theatre" "theater." It's pointless snobbery for the sake of snobbery.

[Zeromus]

Aeris, I grew up with that name.

[knightsofthecircle]

It's Angry Nintendo Nerd, not Angry Video Game Nerd young ones.

[MeatMachine]

It's really not important...

[NickIllusion]

It's Aeris in english FF7 game but really it's Aerith look here Wikipedia Aerith

[shadowknightx]

Aerith and Aeris are actually the same. "Aeris" is simply "Aerith" romanized. Personally I stick with "Aeris" because it doesn't sound like you have a lisp, but the majority game content and other sources use "Aerith" a lot. It really doesnt matter, but it is really annoying.
