Lantairu Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I always liked Imhullu. Sounds more menacing. Maph is just stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishi Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Maph its just easier for me to pronounce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topazd Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 'Hullu' is 'insane' in Finnish so that one has always sounded like shoddy Finglish to my ears. That's probably why I prefer it as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Book of Ereshkigal Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I really like how they both mean evil wind, but Maph sounds like math if you butcher it enough so yeah, and Imhullu also reminds me of the word immortal, which is kinda what it does to its wielder.

bookofholsety Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 imhullu. it's not even a contest. mafu loses most of its meaning outside of japanese and doesn't sound particularly ominous, but imhullu? this is what the refrance aside, the word just oozes evil. magnificent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avarice Shadow Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Imhullu sounds badass.Maph makes me think of map. Nuff said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Falchion Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Another vote for Imhullu. Maph sounds like an angry noise I might make at night to keep from waking my roomie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamanoir Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 I like how it slowly devolved into : "What is the most derogative I can compare Maph too ?" For, me it would be insurance ad. (And Inhullu rhymes with Cthulhu. How great is that ?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruadath Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 I didn't know that this was when I looked at this topic, and though that Maph sounded like a better character name. But Imhullu is definitely way better for a Dark Magic spell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirmola Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 (edited) This is one of those situations that shows how important it is to localize a game as well as just translating it (which is what annoys me when people prioritize correct kangi pronunciations above all else). Both words technically mean a similar thing, but imhulu sounds much better to the English-speaking ear. Heck, it even sounds similar to "null" which is what that tome does.

SSbardock84 Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Maph just doesn't have the nice ring to it like Imhullu has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ENS Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Imhulluh. Maph sounds like "math" or "map". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camus The Dark Knight Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Imhullu is better I think, but I still call it Maph out of habbit a lot of times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topaz Light Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 (edited) imhullu. it's not even a contest. mafu loses most of its meaning outside of japanese and doesn't sound particularly ominous, but imhullu? this is what the refrance aside, the word just oozes evil. magnificent I was not aware of this; this makes me like the "Imhullu" localization a lot more actually. Originally I thought it and Maph were both just nonsense words made up to sound all scary and arcane and magicky, but the reality is actually pretty neat! I learned something today.

henrymidfields Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Imhullu kind of sounds like Chthullu to me. Quite demonic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.Leu Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 (edited) I'm generaly a sucker for the original namings, but damn, Imhullu sounds dark, evil, threatening, cthuluesque, cool. Maph just sounds plain and boring. Edited March 4, 2016 by B.Leu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatManThree Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Maph its just easier for me to pronounce. Yeah that is true, but to me it just sounds corny, I don't know. Imhullu sounds more like the name of a tome to me than Maph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Espinosa Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 It is written: only Maph can defeat Marf! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoMommaGarchomp Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Imhullu is cool. Maph is the distant brother of math, meth, map, mop, marf etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lerandel Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 I like the name Imhullu better because it sounds demonic. Maph sounds too similar to math (and is also a letter different from math). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
