Silver Lightning Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Wait.....wut?! YARNE?!?! As in A BALL OF YARN?!?!? .......I can't....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asura Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 They were relatively subtle with Panne, so YARNE WHY? Is that a real name anywhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diortem Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I enjoy the name Yarne. Seriously, I see nothing wrong with it. Keep in mind this dude's a bit of a pansy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wertystars Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 (edited) I think it suits him but it was just the first impression that was weird Edited January 31, 2013 by wertystars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Stalker X Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 Thought the name Yarne was a bit weird at first, but with a little bit of thought it made sense (both of their names ending in -ne) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I enjoy the name Yarne. Seriously, I see nothing wrong with it. Keep in mind this dude's a bit of a pansy. Chambray is probably an even more pansy-ish name (google it). Is he a simple-minded character? Maybe "chambray" sounded too fancy for him...

Asura Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 (edited) Ya know, after letting it sink in for a few minutes, I actually now think Yarne is kind of adorable.

RedStar Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Yarne? Well, Chambray was still a blunt reference to fabric. Yarne is just as much really. It's a fuzzy name for a fuzzy bunny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreyas Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Just like I was told that Panne is pronounced "Pan" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Lightning Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Not really sure which way I should pronounce it; it still feels weird either way. I must say, while I was expecting a change, I don't think I was expecting that.....but I'm sure I'll get used to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asura Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Hmmm.... yeah, okay - "Yarn" it is! Still cute, if more unsubtle. And I had thought Panne was pronounced "Pahn-ney", so there's another new thing I learned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iridium Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Really, even if you could make the case for his name to be changed, there is NO reason for it to be changed to that *particular* name. Italics? Now why would you use those, to stress how hard it is? I can think of not even one or two but three valid reasons as to why they might have changed it. If he was to be Azure, Azure is a girl's name. The character in question is a boy. If he was to be Azure, Azure is far more common as an English word than a name. Yarne aside, they've done everything possible to change these, it seems - see Velvet and Inverse. Their name was never Azure to begin with. It was Azur, a legitimate boy's name that means 'Israeli helper.' It's a derivative of Ezra. It's just so absolutely insanely rare outside of Jewish Israelis that even you guys - who singlehandedly tried to revive dead names like Loren or are willing to allow completely made up ones for Tiamo - failed to think about these things and added an 'e'. So why would they change it to Inigo? Why not? They kind of have to change it to something - they can't just call him ??? the whole game (although Tripquest is the best nickname ever.) If they're going to change a name, it's best that they do with to a semi-uncommon one that the Japanese would probably never pick out for their own names to avoid conflicts down the line (e.g. Celina/Selena/Serena, but on a larger scale.) With this in mind, they next need to choose a name that's meaningful. Cordelia, for instance, is the name of a tragic heroine in King Lear who could not make a big enough spectacle of her love. It's really quite a perfect name for Tiamo, no? Now, what advantages does Inigo have? Let's do three again. It's Welsh. (So is Owain.) So why is being Welsh an advantage? Because it's a perfectly great source for legitimate names that most people wouldn't know but fit in perfectly with the game's near-universal European-Scandinavian theme naming. It helps that Welsh is a terrible language and nobody really likes them, which combine to make a perfect storm of names NOJ is unlikely to select later on. Inigo and Owain are friends, incidentally. It means either 'unknowing' or 'fiery.' Fiery more or less explains itself - he's an upbeat kid who hits on women over fighting Sain. Unknowing can relate to his little personal tragedy. The rest of this entry and the third are in spoilers. [spoiler=On the Children and Inigo Characterization] ...namely, the fact that he wanted to become a dancer, but Olivia kicked the bucket before he could learn the final steps to a final dance. One of the things he most wants is to learn these steps. And... let's just get this over with. His name is Inigo. You killed his father, his mother, and scarred him for life. Prepare to die. Falaflame ---> Valflame http://i.imgur.com/4s54PP3.jpg Hmm... Aaaand here we go... Oh, thank goodness. Falaflame always made me think of Falafel.

Lord Raven Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I pronounce it Yoo-fale (it's accented differently than "You Fail!" btw). Helswath is fucking amazing, and Valflame is great. I also like Waste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Marth 64 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 (edited) Now that we have left to need to know about the localized names for the Tyrhung, Gae Bolg, Mystletainn, Holsety, and Thor Hammer.

bookofholsety Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 (edited) you forgot Mystletainn (though if someone can provide the name of Owain's personal sword it may be guessable) if the SpotPass and DLC distributions come out in the same order and timeframes as the Japanese version, we should expect to see Tyrfing, Gae Bolg and Holsety on the actual launch date with the release of the FE4 gen1 SpotPass set, and we'll have to wait a month or so for Mystletainn, Thorhammer and Naga to turn up in the possession of their wielders in the King vs King DLC series Edited January 31, 2013 by Rhinocerocket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
