kind of a double standard. I prefer Aerith and Rydia tho so it works out fine for me.

Also Rydias theme > Aeriths theme

Huh, I never considered that it was a mistranslation of "Lydia". I always just pronounced her name as ride-ee-uh. Sounds more fantasy anyway.

The exact reason Terra remains Terra.

"Aerith" = Earth

Wait, when wasn't Rydia called Rydia?

Aerith was called two different things depending on the version of the game.

That name change was intentional, to be more exotic. Tina was exotic in JP, not in NA.

(preface: I prefer Rydia and think Lydia would be lame)

Its very likely a translation error as the L sound and R sound come from the same letter in the Japanese language.

Thats why the legendary hero in Dragon Quest is called Erdrick; because the localizers didnt know whether to translate the JPN name to Loto or Roto, so they made up a new name.

Thats also why the founder of Lululemon named the store that. Hes a massive racist and he thought it would be funny imagining Japanese people trying to pronounce the name of the store.
