Earisu

...honestly, I prefer Aerith over Aeris. It has a softer sound, so in my eyes (and ears), it seems to suit her a little better.

Ah, I'm in the minority I see :( I prefer Aerith, even though that isn't how her name is officially translated. I don't know why....I think it sounds prettier and more exotic. "Aeris" reminds me of "aries," the astrological sign.

Yeah, an unfortunate side-effect to "Aeris" was the fact that half of the fans played the game for hours, yet couldn't manage to realize that it was spelled AERIS and not ARIES.

Same for FFVIII people who think it's spelled Riona.

Hmm... I've never made that mistake.. I don't see how they did, I mean it's a 5 letter word, I'd understand if it was a more complex word, but Aeris.
But I'm not that hung up on this whole thing, they can call her what they want, plus Aerith and Aeris isn't that big of a difference.

i like aeris, it sounds nicer.
and to all the correction nazzi out there, i don't care if it's not the "orriginal" name or if i "pronounce" it right, bite me.

Starflare sweetie, this isn't a thread about Aerith bashing. This is whether you perfer the term Aeris or Aerith. Please keep it on topic.

Thank you

Aerith, its the right way to say it. Sony translated FFVII, not Square, and in everything SE translated themselves it has been Aerith. Sony didn't do a real good job on other parts of the game either, take "this guy are sick" for example. Also consider that in Japanese it is Sefirosu, which translates to Sephiroth, in Japanese she's Aerisu, which means her English name is Aerith. I don't mind people calling her Aeris, but don't try to say its correct, unless you think Sephiroth is really Sephiros.

I choose Aeris....it sounds more feminine than Aerith IMO. And it sounds better than Aerith...but this is only my opinion.

It's going to have to be Aeris for me. I only heard of Aerith just recently and didn't know why people were using that name. I've always called her Aeris and it's become classic to me. It's too late for me to start calling her Aerith right now.
