Aeris returns to life as Theatrhythm bonus character

It should come as no surprise that Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy, which features music from throughout the series, also features more characters for your onscreen party, drawn from a variety of Final Fantasies. It's even less surprising that Final Fantasy VII's iconic, dead Aeris would be among those redone in the music game's signature style (originally found in character art for Kingdom Hearts Mobile).

The latest issue of Jump revealed this information, Andriasang reports, along with the following: Snow (FFXIII), Prishe (FFXI), Vivi (FFIX), Faris (FFV), Cid (FFIII), and Princess Sara (FF). They'll be unlockable as "sub characters," and can be swapped into your party. Not that it really matters who walks along the bottom of the screen as you tap icons rhythmically!

You mean Aerith.

@EIranzer If they're talking about the Japanese version you're right. Any other version, you're wrong.

@EIranzer
I was gonna come in here to say "in before comments about Aeris vs Aerith"... but you brought it up in the first post. Good going.

@hami83

That's completely wrong. If anything, the Japanese version sounds more like 'Aeris', but that's because Japanese doesn't even have a 'th' sound. That's the whole reason why it got localized as 'Aeris' in the original version of FFVII. However the original localization of FFVII was pretty bad, so I wouldn't lend too much credence to it...

You have to realize that the FFVII universe has expanded beyond the original game and 'Aerith' has become the accepted standard in all subsequent releases.
