Stupid Aeris... See? She IS Evil!!

[Acacia Sgt]

You are calling her Aeris? Well, I go with Aerith.

You know what was an awesome game that probably only me and ten other people played?

Panzer Dragoon Saga on the Sega Saturn.

A long time ago I sold it to a friend of mine for 30 bucks. I didn't realize what I was missing until now. You know how much this game is going for now? 500 to 700 dollars. Fuck me. I could have made a killing and still had an awesome game in my possession. It irritates me even more that I've been having a strong desire to play it recently.

Too bad Sega Saturn emulation won't happen for the next thousand years.

You could always play one of the other Panzer Dragoon games...?

[HyperNerd]

I always thought Aerith was a stupid Mistranslation in Kingdom Hearts... I do think of her as Aerith initially, but I have to force myself to think of her as Aeris. Is Aeris a mistranslation?

Panzer Dragoon Saga was an RPG, unlike the other games. Not only an RPG, but it is considered by many (including myself) to be one of the greatest RPG's ever made. Because I haven't played it in such a long time, I can't rightfully judge it with relation to greats like Chrono Trigger/Cross, Star Ocean, or Final Fantasy - but at the time I recall thinking it was better than every one of them except Chrono Trigger.

Yes, Aeris is the mistranslation. It was actually corrected in Kingdom Hearts.

[HyperNerd]

  once more.

I named her Aeris. Wait... In Kingdom Hearts... AERITH IS A ZOMBIE!!!! OH MY GOD!!!!! CALL GHOSTBUSTERS SORA! DON'T TRUST HER!!! SHE A ZOMBIEEEEE!!!!

...

Well, in KH, all FF characters, with the exception of Auron, are AU versions of themselves.

[V_Translanka]

They're Australian? I only played CoM, so I just figured they were out-of-canon representations, of the characters, like what happens in Dissidia (or with Clod in FFT)...

[Acacia Sgt]

Australian?

Don't you think it's better your out-of-canon representation idea?

[KebreI]

Auron is the same one as in FFX? Wow I considered him farthest from his original concept.

[Acacia Sgt]

Check the script when Sora recovers the small statue. It's the same lines Auron says before he was defeated by Yunalesca.

That means he is the same as in his FF of origin. Just that it's him after his journey with Braska and Jecht.

[V_Translanka]

How does that make it the same him...? And you were the one that said they were Australian...isn't that what AU means...?

[Acacia Sgt]

No, AU means Alternate Universe. Same being, different background/setting.

How does that make it the same him...?

Well...

It is not too late! Let us turn back! Yes, but I...I cannot accept it.
Where is the sense in all this? But...there must be another way! Your deaths
will mean nothing! You must live!

"It is not too late! Let us turn back!"

"Yes, but I...I cannot accept it."

"No! Where is the sense in all this? Braska believed in Yevon's
teachings and died for them! Jecht believed in Braska and gave his life
for him!"

"Sin always comes back. It comes back after the Calm every time! The
cycle will continue and your deaths will mean nothing!"

I don't see how he can't be the same individual.
