Fuck, I didn't even think about using spoilers. Sorry to anyone whose gaming experience I have just shattered into a thousand pieces lol >.>

Ok spoiler tagged some of the more game breaking moments and all of the ones from the newer games. Sorry about that.

[Jaybar]

You'd think that people would readily identify that a thread like this might contain spoilers.

I wanted to say Super Mario 64, but that's just annoying rather than shocking.

Final Fantasy VII - Sephiroth kills Aerith

Why BrillWeave, why?

[Not Kuno]

Wait wait wait. I always thought her name was Aeris.

[xopher]

The Lunar series

Spoiler: show

Finding out that Revolver Ocelot was more or less bullshitting about Liquid's arm. Also that Ocelot and Big Boss are somewhat good guys.

[-Zer0-]

Wait wait wait. I always thought her name was Aeris.

I used to think that too. It was something like it's Aeris in NA's FF7 game, but Aerith in the manual and JP's version or something, which slowly settled for Aerith by the time Kingdom Hearts came out.

[MisterBob]

Zer0, first of all, "Whoooooooooosh"


Second of all, the source of these comments is the fact that "Aeris" and "Aerith" are pronounced the exact same way. This also means it is the "Mark of the Weaboo" to refer to her as Aeris while typing in English.
