Re: Have you ever been an "original language snob" when your fandom was translated?

[(Anonymous)]

This is a sort-of, sort-of-not example, but Final Fantasy VII's heroine will always be Aeris, not Aerith - as in, the first official transliteration, not the re-transliteration.

Agreed. It's officially been Aerith so long that I've gotten used to it, but I'll always prefer Aeris.

Same...mostly because the 'Aerith' people were so goddamned obnoxious when Aeris was official...

Re: Have you ever been an "original language snob" when your fandom was translated?

Oh god, yes, yes they were. I started out indifferent but with a preference for Aeris. I just thought it was cool my favorite character had two names, and since the vast majority still knew her as Aeris, it was more like cool trivia than anything. Now it's the opposite. Plus "Aerith" represents all the spinoffs to me, which I pretty much hate, so it's more than a name for me!

Okay but Earisu is... The -su there is literally how -th is in Japan and initially her name, according to Nomura's own sheet for her, was Earith.

Like, I'm sorry, you can snob but you're outright WRONG and Aeris was always a mistranslation. It's as official as "this guy are sick."
