Othin Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I think it would still be pronounced Vahl-hart tho Vaisssssssssssssssman That's not too bad then. Of course, the game should answer it for us with the voice acting, so hopefully they go this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iridium Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I think, at least for me, Walhart's going to suffer from the same problem as Godot or Ys Seven's Cruxie. I know exactly how it should be pronounced, but mentally I'm always going to read it the way that I read it when I first saw it - Wallheart over Vahl-heart, Go-dot over Go-dough, Crucksy over Crew-sheh, et cetera.

Karasz Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Renha to Yen'fay - I'll get used to it. Tiamo to Cordelia - WHY, NoA?! Just...WHYYYYYYYYYYY?! Valhart to Walhart - God dammit, now it doesn't seem as badass. The king of a gigantic militaristic nation, now being reduced to the head of a shopping franchise. Just...god dammit.

Iridium Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 (edited) Tiamo to Cordelia - WHY, NoA?! Just...WHYYYYYYYYYYY?! Because Tiamo isn't a name and literally is just Italian for 'I love you.' Also, because Cordelia is both a much more subtle reference to the heart and an awesome name in general. One of the best name changes this side of Morgan. Also the name of a tragic character, which is cool. Plus, Chrom/Cordelia is now alliterative and thus that much catchier. Valhart to Walhart - God dammit, now it doesn't seem as badass. The king of a gigantic militaristic nation, now being reduced to the head of a shopping franchise. Just...god dammit. A giant, militaristic shopping franchise. It actually makes too much sense.

Hrodulf Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Tiamo to Cordelia - WHY, NoA?! Just...WHYYYYYYYYYYY?! Because "I love you" is a bad name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quick Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Renha to Yen'fay - I'll get used to it. Tiamo to Cordelia - WHY, NoA?! Just...WHYYYYYYYYYYY?! Valhart to Walhart - God dammit, now it doesn't seem as badass. The king of a gigantic militaristic nation, now being reduced to the head of a shopping franchise. Just...god dammit. I have a feeling they changed Renha's name in order to make all the starting swordmasters have Chinese names. Although I'm not sure if Say'ri is a Chinese name or not. As for the others, Cordelia is okay, and I explained my thoughts on Walhart already. I'm never going to use him over Ephraim ever so I shouldn't care that much for it anyways.

Mysterique Sign Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 So they changed 'Warm' to 'Valm' and 'Valhalt' to 'Walhart', anyone else think that's funny? About the apostrophe names, I thought it might be a Chon'sin thing since they're essentially Chinapan, but Lon'qu is supposed to be from Ferox so IDEK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naui Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 (edited) Vahlart is now Walhart http://fireemblem.ni...rs/chara25.html Does he sell items for ridiculously low prices? (sorry for the corny joke) Cordelia sounds really pretty. I like it! My waifu's gotten bonus points now!

Andreyas Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I just hope her daughter will still be Selena/Serena. I think Serena would be better. We could end up with Samantha or Sabrina or even Sabine, who knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naui Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Maybe the "W" in Walhart is pronounced like a Hawaiian "W" so it's Valhart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds pretty cool to me^^ I'm still going "huh?" at Walhart though. Edited January 25, 2013 by Ace Tactician Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGhosteon Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 NoA hates names that start with "Tiam". Why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honestly Vitali Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 ...Has anyone noticed Lissa is "the girl most likely to snort"? Also Walmart. Sorry. Can't get over it. And I really hate the apostrophes. Renha's new name doesn't sound very Japanese, which I assume Shoshin was supposed to be. They all sound more like... Some other Asian nation now. I don't know, but all of Say'ri's MU support was "Let me talk about how Japanese I am!". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty Kamina Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I'm liking Tiamo's name change to Cordelia, however after I noticed how Walhart is basically Walmart I can no longer take him seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPSEliwoodGabriel Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 ...Okay, "Cordelia" somehow gets me to "Coppelia" and now I hate to write a stupid scenario of pre!Awakening and possible cousins of the Ylissean Royal family... getting drunk.

riariadne Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 dammit if I hadn't read the thread I wouldn't have made the connection to Walmart at all Cordelia is actually a pretty good namechange though. I actually kinda like it better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iridium Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 That is so lame! Ti amo = I love you. Cordelia = grandmother's poodle. Except for the fact that 'I love you' is a terrible name and Cordelia comes from the word for heart and originates from a tragic Shakespearean character who could not inherit her father's kingdom because she refused to exaggerate her love. And as someone else said, if all else fails, it's the name of the princess in Valkyria Chronicles which is glorious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, sorry, I just looked up the name's history and am able to appreciate it a bit more; however, I still don't find the name phonetically pleasing.

Strunk Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Cordelia. I like it. I like it a lot. It's the first time I've seen a localized name and not been mostly neutral at first. I instantly liked it the moment I saw it. This is a glorious day. I will also be reminded of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel often from now on, which is nice.

Shadow Stalker X Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Liking the name change to Cordelia. I don't know, it just sticks somehow better than Tiamo. And Walhart... yeah, hard to take him seriously anymore with a name like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
