It was officially Aeris in Final Fantasy VII, in every English version. They also used Aeris for Final Fantasy Tactics, and the first wave of merchandise and the official website used Aeris.

I think Kingdom Hearts 1 was the first to switch over to Aerith. Now all official references to her are Aerith, including on the websites. But the re-releases of Final Fantasy VII still use Aeris.

I wonder why the switch? But it's weird that they'd basically retcon a romanization. (Personally I think Aeris looks prettier, but it wouldn't bother me either way).

エアリス was, apparently, supposed to directly come from the word "earth". Which I think is really stupid in a way-too-obvious sort of way. I agree, Aeris sounds much prettier (and it also has the Latin meaning for breath/air, which suits her, imo)... plus, it's just how I grew up knowing her.

I think it'd be cool if the remake gave you an option to choose either Aeris or Aerith, for the sake of original fans.
