Galenforcer Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Degel = Kjelle Woah, are you sure? That name sounds funky... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diortem Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Literally the only loss from changing Nowi's dialogue like this is that her Lon'qu support was pretty interesting insofar her lack of understanding of human norms. Quite frankly, anything that makes Nowi less of a disturbing character is a good thing for the game (particularly in light of how they don't seem to have edited her portrait or artwork). Yeah. I mean, this characterization of Nowi is much more entertaining, since she seems to have actual maturity. Plus, she's got a bit of wit on her.

Wheels Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Huh, Kjelle... Kjell is a masculine given name in Norway, Finland and Sweden, in Denmark the cognate is Kjeld or Keld. It is derived from the Old Norse: kętill, meaning "kettle," "cauldron," or "helmet." Looks like they feminised this name Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iridium Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) Huh, Kjelle... Fun fact of the day: Sully and Kjell are both generally considered masculine names. Fitting, for their characters, I guess. I like it, dunno about the rest of you. Edited January 30, 2013 by Iridium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheels Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Yea, I like that too, fits them :) Also, found pronounciation of Kjell http://www.forvo.com/word/kjell/ Sounds like Shell XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearemy Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Off-topic: Omg, Gregor's dialogue now reminds me of this character from The Most Popular Girls in School. She is apparently who always says "How do you say" before words she clearly knows how to say.That's brilliant. I could get used to the 3rd Person speak, so yeah. For those curious about the link, there is strong language so be warned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ema Skye Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Il is now Waste. Selena = Severa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diortem Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Il is now Waste. Selena = Severa That kind of tome name would make for an interesting battle quote. Also, she DOES wield a sword... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookofholsety Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Selena = Severa man I love the new meaning they inserted into this, but I'm also slightly disappointed it wasn't "Serena" (if extremely glad it wasn't "Selena" again) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iridium Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Severe is more befitting than serene, that's for sure. And it doesn't sound or look anything like Selena, so no confusion there. I'm okay with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheels Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 People are gonna be reaaaal mad about Severa.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearemy Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Severa does seem to fit her characterization a bit more. People will get over it, I guess. There's a lot of out-there names in this game, anyway. She'll fit right in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheels Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I agree, I blame it on the hanging out on GFaqs I've been doing while Serenes was down. Selena was like, most popular child character. I'm half expecting an angry mob to rise up and burn everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diortem Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Wont someone think of the herons? :( This may just be the best thing I've read all night. Also, I kinda like the name Severa, just because it sounds unique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarquin Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) Just to interject quickly here: as a Norwegian speaker, I can confirm that the closest approximation of 'Kjelle' would be 'Shel-la' (with the 'la' being short.) Of course, I can't say for certain if NoA did indeed intend it that way. Also loving 'Severa'. Edited January 30, 2013 by Tarquin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheels Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Shella, that's pretty cool! And the name's fitting, considering she's the armour lover, IMO. ...I'm so exhausted all the names are making me giggle XD Maybe I should lie down...
