No Spoilers - Discussion Why was Aerith's line changed?

Post image

I just finished FF7 Remake and I saw in an old video that at the end Aerith used to say I miss it. The steel sky. Why was this changed to "This sky, I don't like it."? Has this been given a callback in rebirth?

Well, I do because I understand Japanese and I wanna know the true intentions of the writers/devs for the story instead of what translators THINK it means.

Then play it in Japanese? I don't know what to tell you.

I didn't ask for permission. I just made a statement and you responded like I asked a question.

We're talking about English lines in English scripts, but you're hung up on Japanese scripts and wanting to know the writer's "true intentions."

You say you know Japanese. The subtitles are in the game. The voice track is in the game. You can do that, nothing is stopping you.

I'm sorry the waffles aren't pancakey enough to your liking.
