The creator had his chance to spell it however he wants in English. He spelled it AERIS. Once a game, book, tv show, or movie is published, if the creator disagrees with the text, that’s no different than being a fanfiction writer. You can call her Aerith in fanfic if you want. The name of the character in FFVII…

So the リ ith part of “-th” now too? Tho her name ith “Aeth”?

And if they were cosplaying as Kingdom Hearts characters, rather than recreating a scene from FF VII, Kingdom Hearts would be relevant. You put the FFVII discs in the playstation, it says her name is “Aeris.” ス can be transliterated as and used to transliterate -s or -th, but since “Aerith” isn’t a word in any…

What’s the Japanese character for “th”? How can you mistranslate made up names?

What verthion of the game did you buy where her name ith Aerith? Or wath it a tranthliteration error? If tho, what’th the Japanethe character for “th”?

They’d probably change the LA Aztecs to the LA Azteca (after Mexico’s stadium) because MLS is trying very hard to be a poor imitation of other countries’ soccer.

This isn’t really related, but MLS team names are dumb and un-American. What the fuck’s an NYCFC? Teams should be named after birds or big cats, or sometimes after outdated occupations or ethnic slurs. They should at least come up with something other than ripping off European team names.

And if New York is going to…

I agree that people need to stop preordering games.

But in the long run, it doesn’t really matter whom you punish for buggy games. Developers are run by businessmen. Publishers are run by businessmen. When they enter into contracts, generally, both sides know what they’re doing. If the developer thinks the publisher…

You’re specifically arguing against games with fewer bugs. If bugs cost developers money, they’ll make games with fewer bugs. If you incentivize making games that work, developers will make games that work. If you incentivize making games that don’t work, developers will make games that don’t work.

I’m more interested in Captain Marvel, Black Panther, the Inhumans, and whatever other bench players they can call up (Runaways! Ms. Marvel!) than seeing the third reboot in 15 years of FF. I hope the MCU never ever gets FF or the X-men.

You'd have to make it a period piece.

You would need a really great physical actor to play Dr. Doom in a way that works without seeing his face, other than his eyes. This should be possible. You would also need really strong musical cues. Darth Vader is probably the best example of that working. During the most frightening scenes, you also don’t really…

I don’t think you’ve made enough Prince Fielder jokes.

Once I got used to XII’s, I loved it. At least you could control the characters, unlike XIII.

This is exciting. I’m glad square is releasing another action rpg, because there aren’t enough of those. /sarcasm.

The last time an Irishman got burned like that it was at the La Mon restaurant.

For at least the past 25 years, democrats have been as “tough on crime” as Republicans, with all that entails - over-criminalization, mass incarceration, deference to cops and cops’ unions, etc. Other than voting restrictions, I can’t think of any reason to characterize the Democratic as less racist than the GOP, and…

If it wasn’t also a stylized ‘L,’ that would be more convincing.

Right. Managed hunting can be part of a viable conservation program. Poaching isn't.

And if someone turned the thermostat up, there’d be complaints that it’s a sexist conspiracy to get women in the workplace to wear less clothes, and that heat oppresses women going through menopause.
