thunderstrife Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 "Characters: Many groups play a part in a story but undoubtedly the story's protagonist, Prince Marth, will be the focus for most. Marth has been featured in the Super Smash Bros. series and has been extremely popular within those games, but this is his first time starring in a Fire Emblem game in the United States. At Marth's side is a support of fearless fighters, including the brave Caeda, a princess of the Talys kingdom. Other major characters include the evil sorcerer Gharnef and the sole surviving descendant of the royal House Archanea, Princess Nyna. " Wtf? Why not Shiida? I hate NOA...

Chalis Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 (edited) Pronounced about the same. Good enough for me. |Cae|da = |Cae|sar It's a sharp S sound with a faintness of Z, but it can be heard as SH all the same. I do like this translation name though ^_^ Edited January 19, 2009 by Azel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 It's spelt "Caeda" but pronounced "Shiida", right? If that's the case, I see no harm, really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Actually, I pronounce it "Emily" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamara Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Atleast it looks better than "Shiida". The two i's annoy me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Tyler Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Guys, I think now it is a good time to bitch about something that doesn't even effect the gameplay at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylvan Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Well, if they have different names. . . will this affect wifi? if so, then **** if not then meh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dat Nick Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Are they even keeping this? I seriously doubt it. It was probably just an inital translation error. Brawl and the EU version have Shiida, so I really doubt they aren't going to use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Mecha Death Christ Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 They kept the translation from Melee, then I'm sure they'll keep the translation from Brawl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it doesn't affect gameplay, but it's still annoying. Did you see a screenshot with the character called that? If the answer is no then NOA might have forgotten to update the blurb they wrote months ago. Remeber, Europe got the same Caeda blurb...

Florete Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Guys, I think now it is a good time to bitch about something that doesn't even effect the gameplay at all. ^I assume this was sarcasm, and in that case, I agree. I wouldn't care if they had changed her name to Veronica or Emily or something. To quote Shakespeare, "What's in a name?" In this game, effectively nothing.

Kiddo Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 By the way, guys, a note on that NP article (Feb. 2009) can be really confusing. It's this one, namely. The fifth title... was broadcast over the Super Famicom Satellaview network.. Now, I assume the first thought most FE fans have is "that's wrong. Thracia was on the Nintendo Power." - however, that's the trick here. The fifth game was not Thracia, it was BS Fire Emblem. (Thracia being handed the "5" title by tradition thus throws a monkey wrench into everything.) And for comparison's sake, release date info I got, for the BS Fire Emblem: 1997/09/28 ～ 1997/10/04 ＢＳファイアーエムブレム アカネイア戦記編 第１話 パレス陥落 1997/10/05 ～ 1997/10/11 ＢＳファイアーエムブレム アカネイア戦記編 第２話 赤い竜騎士 1997/10/12 ～ 1997/10/18 ＢＳファイアーエムブレム アカネイア戦記編 第３話 正義の盗賊団 1997/10/19 ～ 1997/10/25 ＢＳファイアーエムブレム アカネイア戦記編 第４話 始まりのとき And Thracia's release date is seen as 9-01-1999. So Nintendo Power is technically correct, but the lack of details makes things seem pretty poor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paper Jam Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Caeda, Archanea, Dolhr... Yeah, I'm pretty sure the American version is going to be different than the European version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
