I always said Tide-us, but I'm pretty sure it's Teedus.

Thanks for not pronouncing it once in the entire fucking game, Square. Now I made an ass of myself.

His japanese name is Tiida which is okinawan for sun. Based on an emperor whose name meant 'child of the sun', which was supposedly a theme for Tidus' character.

It's the incorrect pronunciation. Dissidia uses the correct pronunciation, tee-dus.

Called her Aeris, then they changed it to Aerith so I adjusted myself accordingly.

Called him Tie-dus, then it's revealed that it was Tee-dus, so I adjusted myself accordingly.

This, I used to think Aerith was stupid but it's been the official translation for a long time now. Although replaying FF7 I noticed Cait Sith and others saying Aeris' with a single quote to denote possession, which looks bizarre as Aerith'. Not to mention, using a single quote for a singular word ending in S is incorrect in the first place. Not sure if it's like that in the PC version.

>>319711297
It's been Aerith since KH1

It's been Tee-Dus since Dissidia

The only faggots are the fucking idiots who didn't already know and continue to argue when the case has long since closed.

I cite Dissidia because Wakka may say Tee-dus in KH1, but Selphie says Tide-us in KH2. What does that dumb bitch know? She ain't even from the same game!

>>319712493
You mean the japanese way, since the game is japanese? That could be autistic, but it's not made-up.

"Aerith" is officially wrong, her name is エアリス, "su" is not "th" by any fucking stretch of the imagination. The fact people don't understand this will never cease to amaze me. That's including ANY ROMANIZATION STYLE, su is NEVER turned into th in history.

It's the official translation, so it's "correct" as far as localizations go - I'll accept that, but on a technical level it's factually inaccurate to the original canon of the character. Just like, for example, "Ash" instead of "Red" - sure, they're both officially technically correct, but one of those is actual canon, the other is made up bullshit pushed out by a sub-par localization team.
>>
>>319712337

Except that's a stupid argument, it never said "Sephiros" in the game, while to this day it still says fucking "Aeris" by default.

Aeris, because it rolls off the tongue better and that's how it sounds in Japanese anyway. I used to be "that guy" who insisted on renaming her to Aerith and then I realized that was dumb because it's just shittier to pronounce.

I always said Tide-us and still think it sounds better but I know it's supposed to be Teedus so I'm trying to switch. It doesn't come up often though, because I don't really like FFX so I don't talk about it much.

Teedus is canon.

Personally "tide-us" sounded way cooler to me given the water theme.

in a vacuum, "Aeris" is the more correct translation of エアリス or e-a-ri-su. Japanese doesn't have a "th" sound and ス is also commonly used to represent a "solo S" in addition to a "th."

but people could argue that Aerith is more reminiscent of "Earth" which plays into Cloud being "Cloud". He looks over her or whatever, she's connected to the planet, etc.

There is no sound for "th" in the Japanese language.

Cloud = クラウド (Kuraudo)
Aerith = エアリス (Earisu)
Cid = シド (Shido)

Tea-tahns or tie-tans

It's fukcing Tie-tans. It doesn't matter how the Japs or the Greeks themselves pronounce "titan," it's tie-tan in English and that is the language they're all canonically speaking since everything is written in English. Also it sounds better.

I've actually never heard anyone pronounce "Cecil" "See-sil". Then again, it's a rather uncommon name so maybe not everyone really knows how it's supposed to be pronounced.

Think of it like this. Cecil is the male version of Cecilia, which is pronounced SEE-cilia (or the shorter SE-cilia). It's Latin (which might make it a hard C, now that I think about it).

But yeah, I've seen it pronounced CESS-cil more and more recently.

Tidus has aways been Teedus (just like Zidane has always been Zih-dahn). We were just ignorant to the correct pronunciation until Dissidia and Kingdom Hearts came out and solidified those as correct. If you still pronounce them Tide-us or Zee-dane, you are objectively wrong.

Aerith is a different situation, as they straight retconned her name. You can make the argument that Aeris is still correct in vanilla FF7.
>>
>>319716068
It's not the same you fucking idiot. It's Aerisu because they tried pick something that sounds as close to -th in their own language. If I was speaking Japanese I would call her Aerisu and when you speak English you say it in the way they intended it for you to say it.
>>
>>319716131
There's only one way to pronounce it in my language which would be something like fee-raga. I'm not a native english speaker so I have no idea how I would pronounce it in english. Fir-aga and fire-aga both sound awkward to me.

The English version of both names are alterations of the Japanese. Which in turn are Romanji alterations of Latin/Greek names.

Its stupid to argue over it because even the original Japanese name is wrong. Let alone an alteration of the alteration.

To pronounce it "Aerith" is actually a mistake. "Aerith" is actually pronounced "Aeris" in Japan; the "th" is pronounced as an "s". So if you say "Aerith", that actually shows a lot about you. It basically tells everyone that you're an ignorant weeaboo who wants to look really smart. You want to show everyone that you are so into Final Fantasy that you know it's actually "Aerith" and not "Aeris", because that's what she's called in the glorious land of Nippon - But you didn't know that is wasn't actually pronounced with a "th". On top of that, you prefer shoving your very "patrician" (see: pretentious) knowledge and tastes onto everyone, rather than just pronouncing a word the more aesthetically pleasing way. You curse your American heritage and want to say it the Japanese way, but you don't even know how they say it correctly in Japan. Good job idiot.
>>
it should be Aeris normally but they changed it to "Aerith" because it sounds kinda like "earth"

also Teedus is "correct" but its also a localization
his original name in Japanese was actually just "Tida"
>>
It's Tidus, not Teedus, for fuck's sake the whole game revolves around water

I just use whatever the official pronunciation is, cause literally who the fuck am I to say the creators were wrong. Was fine with Aeris, but apparently that was an incorrect localization and is now constantly Aerith, so she's Aerith. Tidus is pronounced Teedus in the scant few times his name is uttered, like Kingdom Hearts and Dissidia, so I go with that. If that ends up being changed by Square, then I'll go with whatever they use.
>>
>>319717504
so because you're not sperging out about it "Rydia" isn't a mistranslation of "Lydia"? Aerithfags are such hypocrites. Might as well insist on calling Bowser "Koopa"

Are you retarded?

Japanese have no TH sound, SU is used for both S and TH sounds


Aeris and Aerith is pronounced is E A RI SU by a Japanese person , if you ask a Japanese person to say Aeris and then say Aerith, they would say E A RI SU for both because they pronounce both the same exact way, but the fact remains that Aerith is the correct one because that is what they are saying.

Just like they pronounce Sephiroth as SE FI RO SU, that has TH ending but they still pronounce it as TH

And the fact remains that the Japanese manual specifically has her name as Aerith, not Aeris

Aeris is wrong on all accounts, it is a literal mistranslation, her name is Aerith
>>
>>319717150
It's pronounced and transliterated as Earisu in Japan, not Aeris. It was clearly supposed to be a play on Earth. Problem is Earth sounds stupid as fuck as a name (like Refill in Symphonia) so they did the best they could and named her Aerith.

It's Aerith. Always was and always will be. You all probably think that Exdeath is the right name also.

Real talk I managed to forget Soft was analogous to Gold Needle. That shit is indeed weird, since I don't think the Soft thing happened until around FFVI, then continued until like XII or some shit randomly.
