[06] They changed her name to that for Kingdom Hearts, if I remember correctly.

[hako-neko.livejournal.com]

6. I believe "Aeris" was a mistranslation or something and her name was actually supposed to be Aeirth... but it makes no difference to me. lol Call her what you will, the Katakana is the same.

[kurachu.livejournal.com]

SU!

[roaring.livejournal.com]

3. Togainu! I play a couple Togainu characters in my game. :3 I agree, I find obscure more interesting.

6. In Kingdom Hearts they translated her name as Aerith. I think some people use Aeris and Aerith to differentiate between the two versions of her.

1. Hello :O *waves*

6. I think 'Aeris' was a mistranslation, but I used to prefer it as well. I don't really care now anyway XD

8. I see at least two games in there I've played. Threads of Fate for the goofy win~! ♥

[(Anonymous)]

8. love Threads of Fate. :) I'd love to see more rpers from tiny ps1 game fandoms out there... maybe it'd resurrect the fandoms a little bit XD;

6 » That's what her name is in the original Japanese game. It was changed to better suit American audiences when it came over here (which makes no sense in the first place), as is the case for a lot of game characters.

8 » The PS1 RPGs are the greatest games ever made. ♥ Nothing out today can compare with some of that stuff.

[kinneas.livejournal.com]

Not quite. The Japanese language works in syllables and since it is not romantice in nature there is no "correct English translation" from the original game.

1. Most people don't focus on the point of my secret, but rant about stupid elements of it. And I just feel like screaming, 'Hey dumbass, was that the point of the secret? NO! NEXT!'

4. I'm sure a lot of people.

5. Haha, filler makes me laugh. At least some filler does have an okay storyline, but it usually ends up becoming mind-numbing as it continues. Yes Bleach I am looking at you.

6. Aerith is the Japanese spelling of it, but it did't become popularized until Kingdom Hearts and suddenly everyone was using it. She has and always will be Aeris to me. Aerith sounds stupid and seems trendy more than anything. It's like using Zeng instead of Tseng or better yet I saw some dumbass using Shion which is a fan-sub mistake.

7. I can sympathize. While I've never played the game, Castlevania: HoD had such a horrid soundtrack -- which is shocking considering the other games -- that when I play it on am emulator I turn down the music volumne and play MP3s instead.

[convault]

1. But picking at stuff is the best part D:

6. Shion is actually an easy error to make, 'cause the katakana for TSU looks like SHI and Tseng's name is something like TSON in Japanese, so it comes out kinda like SHION...

Guh, this might be easier.

ツォン　－＞　シオン
^ TSON ^SHION

10 - OH GOD, YES. I wish I'd never agreed to let people use OCs in my game.

...and I so wish I could make this comment with my LJ but its just so not worth the fallout of my players seeing it. They've almost (barring ONE character) all Mary-Sue'd and make me want to almost decree OCs banned altogether. That one player is my saving grace for the OCs in my game. Its a fandom RP. Fandom characters, PLEASE!

6. This has been explained several times, but here it is again, in OVERLY DETAILED FORMAT. :x

The original Japanese katakana for her name was エアリス, or "earisu." The INTENDED romanization of this name was "Aerith," since the name itself is derived from the word "Earth." HOWEVER, it was mistakenly changed to "Aeris" because... well, just because. Mistakes are like that.

The mistake was corrected in Kingdom Hearts, as was mentioned, and brought up online, etc. The proper name of "Aerith" is also included in the credits Advent Children, and while some people tend to disregard that movie along with the rest of the new Compilation additions, the fact remains that her intended name was Aerith all along, not Aeris, so please refrain from calling it BS or I will continue to ramble on and on and on again about stuff no one care about. :D Wow that sentence was retarded.

... And more mistakes like this occurred with Sierra/Shera and Bahamut Sin/Shin/Tremor. BUT I DIGRESS.

[subversive.livejournal.com]

.. *in the credits OF Advent Children. Mwejhadlfksjf grammar.

[song-of-truth.livejournal.com]

3. Ivan! Anyway, I completely agree. There's so many more opportunities for creativity with characters who haven't been overused or personality-raped time and time again...

6. I don't care much either way, since they're both official and all. Actually, I can't keep it straight in my own head and switch between the two pronunciations constantly, even within the same conversation.

8. While I don't recognize those characters specifically, I totally empathize with you. All of my favorite games are for the PS1, too, and my friends are all too busy keeping up to date with the newest releases...

[shahrizai.livejournal.com]

8. <3 <3 <3 Grandia!

[lostremnant.livejournal.com]

6. I tend to use Aerith since I read a long time ago that Aeris was a mistranslation. I have one of the original English versions of FF7 and it is said that that version has tons of mistranslations in it. And frankly I prefer the name Aerith because Aeris just sounds harsh to me.

But both names are used in fandom and if someone else wants to use Aeris, fine. It's no big deal to me. However I DO have to admit that I twitch when I see Tseng's name written as anything other than Tseng so I guess it's just whose ox is being gored. :D

7. B-but I love the music! Morroc theme... Stuck in my head now.
... Although after some time, it does start to grate on one's nerves a bit. So I often mute RO and play my own music instead. :D;

8. Thousand Arms! *_* Grandia! Valkyrie Profile! Threads of Fate! Legend of Legaia! The only one I haven't played is the last one...
YES. AGREED.

[byewonderland.livejournal.com]

THREADS OF FATE! And I think I recall playing Legend of Legaia. My sister both both games years back and we'd take turns playing them. =D

1. Wow, emo-ing over the fact that your secrets are misinterpreted or ignored? Like... I don't get that. I mean, I've sent in a couple of secrets before and they both haven't gotten a lot of attention, but it's really not cool to be complaining that your secrets are misinterpreted and then whining about it to the community as if in an attempt to guilt-trip people into paying more attention to the seemingly obscure secrets. (Then again, "secrets" relating to people's experiencing with sending in their own "secrets" seem pretty self-absorbed and attention-whorish to me, and seeing as you're basically complaining that you haven't gotten enough attention, you seem to be fitting into that assumption way too well.)

I mean... if you really don't want people to give their honest opinions about your secrets, why post them at all to a community that's specifically designed for people to give back their opinions (quite possibly) anonymously to an anonymous poster?

I'm sorry, maybe you're just a nice person who really does feel lonely and I'm just making you feel worse, but... the "secrets about secrets" tend to really bug me and your secret just hit all my dislikes about them on the nail. :/

[insanepurin.livejournal.com]

2. YES. I LOVE THIS GAME TO PIECES. THANK YOU WORLD.
3. I hear you. T-T *wave*
8. THREADS OF FATE AND LEGEND OF LEGAIA FOR THE WIN! Mint and Noa rocked my socks. *nod*

[larvayne]

6. Mistranslation. It was supposed to be Aerith - and correctly translated in KH2. :) ♥

[gysecune.livejournal.com]

2. Me, too! I lent it to my cousin and she refused to give it back on grounds that I had "given" it to her. ;_; WHAT.

3. MARIA-SAMA GA MITERU~~ I was just thinking about this today, how I should rewatch it and fangirl over Sei and babble about how much I want to marry her.

4. I comment a lot and read, but I never signed up for some reason. I guess because I only come here out of boredom and am usually not too active in communities nowadays, anyway.

8. SO2 ftw!

[shoyesainomiko.livejournal.com]

omg, that's a spectacular icon. May I steal?

[queenie-z.livejournal.com]

3. YAY GOLDEN SUN ♥

6. "earisu" (Aeris/Aerith's name romanized literally) can be either name. I personally prefer Aeris as it flows better off of the tongue.

8. YAY LEGEND OF LEGAIA ♥ And yay Noa! She's so cute~

[sylladicks.livejournal.com]

2. I am in love with that game for some reason, and wish I had a Gamecube to play it on. I've only played emulators for it on the computer.

3. Y HALO THAR, ARBITRO. TOGAINU NO CHI, FTW. (Have some Kiriwar.) Also. FLCL.

[burningvigor.livejournal.com]

8. Man, old PS1 RPGs are amazing. Suikoden II, Thousand Arms, Grandia, Tales of Destiny... I could go on and on. The point is, you're not alone. I really should RP characters from those sorts of games more often. :x

[(Anonymous)]

8. I realize this probably (at least partially) gives away my identity, and I don't particularly care, but we of the small fandoms would love to have as much company at Landamned as possible :D

[rationalise.livejournal.com]

8. STAR OCEAN TWO! <3! GRANDIA! <3! I love those games, omg. And I'm so tempted to play characters from both of them in an RP... more So2 RPers would rock.

[(Anonymous)]

8. *flailflailflailflailFLAIL*

ZOMG DO IT. :D this totally gives away my identity, but landels_damned

6. It was Aeris in FF7 PS version and Aerith in FF7 PC version. The PC version is the version with all the correct spellings and grammar and such. I prefer Aeris, though. Aerith just sounds like a lisp. Watch out Aerith! Thephiroth is coming! (I don't know much about this "Kingdom Hearts" nonsense. That's just some strange lady in pink.)

8. Vaaaaaaaaaaagrant Story. Koudelka. Man, old PS1 games ROCK.

[queenie-z.livejournal.com]

10. OCs are fun, wtf. But if they're lame Mary Sues/Gary Stus, then feel free to hate. :E
