You don't translate proper nouns.

the sound is not in their language which means they generally can’t really pronounce it, just like Americans can’t really pronounce the Spanish “rr” sound. “th” ends up sounding like “su” in Japanese

They didn't. The official Japanese spelling in Latin letters was always Aerith.

Just showing some official material from shortly before the Japanese release



Interestingly, if you were somehow to get the game to bypass the name input, it would default to calling her Aerith, since that's her name in the code before you put one in. Cloud is similar, with a default "name" of ex-SOLDIER, and Red XIII as just Red.

that was a pretty nice demo, although I can't imagine they'll put that much effort and scripted environmental interaction into the other boss fights

I love this. Thank you I could watch this all day.

I wonder if they'll keep his AI for not attacking Tifa. IIRC, he'd never use moves except a punch every third turn on her when she's the only character still standing.

Like: won't grab her by the feet and spin her around; won't hurl Barret at her from across the room.

Heres the fun part; none of this really matters because you have a prefab team that absolutely sucks so winning the match is basically "wait until the second half and hope you got enough XP so Tidus can use Jecht Shot" and then playing keep away either fairly or by breaking the enemy AI.

I'm taking a look at that playthrough of the demo now, and I must admit, not hearing the victory theme play after every encounter makes me sad as hell. That was the best version of the victory theme, and also the best battle theme, and also the best overworld theme, and if you disagree with me on any of these points, well, you're wrong and I'm right and that's all there is to it, don't @ me.

If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.
Materia grows, just like it does in Vanilla
Summons are equippable, just like they are in vanilla, when summoned, they replace the non-caster party members, like in FFXII, you don't control them but you can issue them commands while they auto-fight
although I guess a better comparison for the summons is... Kingdom Hearts 2
Shocking like no one

Yes exactly. The first trailer was like... Advent Children grim Midgar. This trailer had throwing Cloud into Aeris, getting ready to dress up Cloud as a girl, exercise minigame with the Buff Bois, Don Corneo, and then they ADDED stuff like ridiculous screen filling projections of the corporate villains

I honestly think this will be a good game. The main reservation I have is still about length and how they're gonna split it.

Turks continue to own bones as it is, was, and ever shall be. Every trailer gets me more and more pumped for this. Guess the better half and myself will be booking time off in March!

Personally, if the first game is this good, I can't wait for the chase for the Man in Black across the world ending at the Forgotten Capital.

My main problem remains the music being too orchestral for a magic-cyber-punk setting.

Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.
I'm a little scared of what's up with the ghosts, honestly. I don't feel like the spin-offs have had a very good track record of inserting new bits into the setting.

Don't tease the Octopus, kids!
Well, the ghosts seem to be attacking Seventh Heaven and Barret asks where they've been. So maybe it's at the point where Cloud/Aerith/Tifa return from Don Corneo's mansion via the Train Graveyard, perhaps? And the Train Graveyard is full of ghosts, so maybe they're trying to integrate the ghosts a bit more than "there are ghosts in this train yard for some reason." Then again, the pillar section is supposed to come immediately after the Train Graveyard, so I dunno.

I'm actually glad the Turks are getting more serious screentime.

In the original game they're set up as Shinra's super elite enforcers, yet your first encounter with Reno is just nailing grunts with barrels like you're Donkey Kong. The only real time they get played as serious is them dropping Sector 7 and getting caught at Shinra HQ, the rest of the time they're sorta just comic relief.

Here you have Reno clowning on Cloud from the word go and Rude throwing Cloud without breaking a sweat.

The Turks mean business now.

It could be Aerith's house. That was pretty sunny and had a little garden and waterfall.

this but also "hope that you win the blitzoff at the start of the match, and also at the beginning of the second half, and then score once as tidus right before the wakka event, and then hope a third time that you win the blitzoff after wakka comes out because you don't keep the ball"

basically it's winning three coin flips in a row that are also weighted against you because your stats are horrible
