Aeris, her name is Aeris. It's to late to change that now, I know it was mistranslated in the original game but it's to late to correct that. We all grew up playing her with that name (unless you changed it) so why not keep it since it's been this way for over 25 years?

Actually, technically it is Aerith. It was Aerith in the Japanese release, which came out before the NA release. Aeris was a mistranslation.

Tross2075d ago (Edited 2075d ago )

Actually, if you want to get really technical, it’s エアリス, which is spelled Earisu in romaji. Japanese is less versatile than English in terms of the sounds that can be made with it, and there is that pesky rule that consonants almost always need to be accompanied by a vowel, so there are quite a few different ways it could be translated into our language.

The Su at the end can be translated as just an S. There is no Th in the Japanese language, but it’s not far enough removed from the original sound to be a wholly invalid translation, and it sounds alright in English.

The possibilities don’t end there. What’s normally translated as an R sound in romaji is the liquid consonant that can be used for L or R as the actual sound really is neither. An I sound also sounds like Ee in Japanese. The far more common name Elise would have been a valid translation too, and it’s possible that was supposed to actually be her name. Whether the translation staff misunderstood the liquid consonant, or wanted to give the character more of a fantasy-sounding name, Aeris/Aerith is what they went with though.

Regardless of how her name is pronounced, this up and coming voice actress now has a great role to add to her resume.

Yeah, he said that. He also said he grew up playing with her name as Aeris. I did as well. He's not wrong, her name is Aeris.

If you really want to get technical ..who cares.

SeanScythe2074d ago

Wow did you even read what I wrote before you commented? Doubt it since I said what you said.

It was just Aeris because japanese ppl have a tough time pronouncing th and make a more s sound. And then square of america decided to just use th instead. Not really wrong either way shes both Aeris and Aerith in our hearts.

TricksterArrow2074d ago (Edited 2074d ago )

I also grew up with "This guy are sick", "Beacause you are a puppet" and "Toph Ring", don't make them any more right.

bluefox7552074d ago (Edited 2074d ago )

I like Aeris better anyway, I'll stick with it.

I honestly didn't much attention to Aerith's voice during the reveal trailer I was more mindblown at how the game looked in both the cinematics and gameplay I hope she does a good job on the project.

Jonasellekjaer2074d ago

Will be playing it in japanese voice either way, it seems most true to the nature of the game, as well as the origin. Japanese games are simply just more original with japanese voices.

But hey, that's just one man's opinion. To each thier own.

I think it has more to do with the fact that you made your post in a thread for one of the English VAs, and the way you phrased it kind of came off as a bit...trollish. If it was a misunderstanding fair enough, but context can make all the difference in how someone perceives your comment.

Nu2074d ago (Edited 2074d ago )

She is hot I'd quench her thirst

Butters3602074d ago

She's well on her way to becoming THE definitive Aerith voice.

OG Destiny artist recalls Bungie’s “disgruntled” reaction to Halo 4’s art style change

Original Destiny artist Darren Bacon recalls how Bungie reacted to the art style change of Halo 4 by 343 Industries.

Bungie at that time became the most wonderful bunch of hypocrites in the gaming industry. Knowing this now, gosh the entitlement they felt was out of this world.

Nothing like buying yourself from Microsoft because you don't want to be the Halo Studio anymore, and the FIRST THING you do is sign your next IP over to Activision, for a DECADE, while they are in the middle of ousting the heads of Infinity Ward so they can exert even more control over COD while screwing out the devs at IW...

Should've come as no surprise then that Activision gutted the content of Destiny 1 before launch and was a horrible partner through Destiny 2, until history repeated itself and Bungie had to split from Activision only to wind up in the arms of another major conglomerate that also doesn't know how to handle these unmanageable devs.

Profchaos4d ago

Tti their credit they praised the technical abilities of 343 and I remember at the time thinking halo 4 was a huge graphical leap above reach everything else was rubbish when I actually got to play it but there was no doubt it looked good for the 360 and is probably the best looking game on the system.

But ultimately I think bungie has always had a leadership problem and going independent ultimately proved this it's only getting worse with studio heads being outed by Sony for abuse allegations seems like all bungies past success has been in spite of management not because of it.

But really I think the bungie we have today is not the same one we had in that Xbox era of Bungie

PhillyDonJawn4d ago

I liked the artstyle change. For the most part. Something looked worse but most of everything else looked better. Weapons and vehicles for sure. The wraith come to my mind instantly.
And how can they get mad when the bungie changed it with Halo Reach?

Sciurus_vulgaris3d ago

I know a lot of people dislike Halo 4’s arts style, but there’s thing about it I like and dislike. Personally, the Halo 4 design of Master Chief’s armour is my favourite depiction of the character’s armour.

Enjoy!
