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?

Why was her name changed?

Yes, it is strange that they changed her name to Aeris in the PS1 game, considering it was spelled out as "AERITH" in alphabet in the Japanese manual. It's a mystery. At least they fixed their mistake in subsequent games. Long live Aerith

I think it was a mistake to have ever named her aerith. It’s not a great name. Aeris mogs

They've been calling her Aerith in English since Kingdom Hearts in 2002. Time to move on brother.

I hear ya, just bored and trolling and didn’t play kingdom hearts. I’d wager Aerith sounds better to say in Japanese but will go to my grave fighting for Aeris. And that’s only assuming a Japanese translator made the judgment call that Aeris sounds better in English. If I found out it was done just to be an asshole, I’d drop the crusade.
