The topic is about Aeris/Aerith, not Red XIII. Besides, hope doesn't accomplish anything.

Since I know people who are making the VO project are likely reading this, I know my voiced comment could possibly be noted. No big deal.

And sorry for not sticking to the important discussion. I guess I should've made a new topic about Red's name since it's apparently off-topic. :P
 
I prefer Aeris than Aerith, because I think it's easier to Spell it ^^
I think Aeris is nice !
 
But Crisis Core in the US version also credits her as Aerith, right? I'll go with Aerith!
 
Default text is Aeris. If Aerith is up for debate, then other character names should be as well, right? That's why I brought Nanaki up, cause it's a vastly superior name to RedXIII (though it may be awkward hearing "Nanaki is Nanaki!" at Cosmo Canyon, lol. :P).
 
It doesn't matter how you name him, the guy at the gate will always say that :P

It's something like:
 - Who is Nanaki?
 - Nanaki is Nanaki.

I'd vote for Nanaki too, though :P Not that it'd matter if the plot already decided for me.

To avoid the OT: Aeris.
 
Ah, that actually makes sense since he wouldn't know what you named him. :P
I haven't named Nanaki "RedXIII" in ages, so I dunno what the actual text is. :P
 
I believe (but don't quote me) that a "TH" sound, is pronounced as an "S" sound in Japan, so it's been Aeris everywhere.

Just like Rinoa from 8.  Linoa/Rinoa.

Again, don't quote me.  (Usually when I say things like this, I make a huge ass of myself.)
 
That's true. Engrish kinda makes pronouncing Aeris as AeriTH self-defeating.
 
just throwin this out there, but wikipedia has Aerith Gainsborough as the character name when describing events of the game
 
I rename her Aerith everytime I play, just like I rename Red XIII "Nanaki".

An argument for "Aerith" could be that that's the name used for her in Crisis Core.

I don't particularly care which is going to be used, I guess it all depends on whatever the preference of the directors or voice actors is/are, although if theres gonna be some kind of vote on it, I'd vote for Aerith. I'm just glad that there's going to be voices!
 
No matter if you name her with an S or TH, it's pronounced AERIS either way, not AERITH.

Therefore, the voice over guys can call her whatever they want, whether it be Aeris or Aerith, but it's going to be pronounced Aeris either way.
 
I believe in my opinion that since the original game was in Japanese, with the intention of a resemblance of earth as the original idea, being a purist I believe that it should be Aerith.  On a side note there is no 'th' sound in Japanese, so they replace it with 'ス' or 'su' and because of that there are many mistranslations.  I hope don't have to tell you examples since you probably already know the mistakes mentioned in this thread https://www.ff7catalog.com/posts/70040/.

Look up some English Crisis Core videos.  Her official name is Aerith and it is officially pronounced with a 'th' and not an 's'.

Again my vote is still for Aerith since that is her name.  If we're going to stick with Aeris then I think the rest of the mistranslations should stay in as well.  Such as 'This guy are sick'.
 
As I said before, I prefer Aerith also.
To settle it though, why wasn't this thread just made into a poll?  Would have made like a hell of a lot simpler.
Y'know, count the votes...
 
I think a vote is a good idea if the people running the project are willing to incorporate that into game.

But in the end its up to them to decide whether a vote is worthwhile or not! I vote for a Vote!! ^_^
 
Well they may as well cast a vote, if theyy are going to incorporate it, based on popularity of Aeris, and Aerith respectively, it makes sense to do a good old vote, just setting a close date, and using the final numbers as a result, use Aeris if Aeris wins, and Aerith if Aerith gets the most votes.  That way the majority is happy.
 
I'd be happy to use a poll if I could use polls on this board. This IS the vote, and it goes till we start recording Aeris lines. Which should be sometime tonight.
