HappyHawlucha Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Pretty self explanatory, speculate about the localised names for the characters and review the existing ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gayserbeam Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 (edited) All we know is these (items in bold have changed): Main Characters (Pre-Split): Kamui = Corrin Ferishia / Felicia = Felicia Jookaa / Joker = Jakob Furora / Flora = Flora Gyuntaa / Gunter = Gunter Maakusu / Marx = Xander Kamira / Camilla = Camilla Reon / Leon = Leo Erize / Elize = Elise Ryouma = Ryoma Hinoka = Hinoka Takumi = Takumi Sakura = Sakura Akua / Aqua = Azura Party Members: Sairasu / Silas = Silas Tsubaki = Subaki Erufi / Elfie = Effie Harorudo / Harold = Arthur Suzukaze = Kaze Kazahana = Hana Rinka = Rinkah NPCs: Garon = Garon Mikoto = Mikoto Makubesu / Macbeth = Iago Haidora / Hydra = Anankos Ririsu / Lilith = Lilith Places: Byakuya = Hoshido Anya = Nohr Inventory: Yatogami = Yato Gangureri / Gangleri = Ganglari Katana = Katana Naginata = Naginata Shuriken = Shuriken Hidden Weapon = Kunai Kanabo = Club Ryuuseki / Dragonstone = Dragonstone Harumatsuri / Spring Festival = Bloom Festival New/Changed Classes: Daakupurinsu / Dark Prince = Nohr Prince Samurai = Samurai Shiifu / Theif = Outlaw Oni = Oni Savage Ninja = Ninja Meido / Maid = Maid Batoraa / Butler = Butler Nosferatu = Faceless I perfer Iago to Macbeth. Names with obvious references to well-known mythology or fiction, like "Macbeth" or "Beowulf" can often feel contrived. EDIT: Added nearly every confirmed name of items, classes and characters. Feel free to remind me of anything else! Edited September 10, 2015 by gayserbeam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Water Mage Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 We also have the mysterious Llewelyn, whose only thing we know about, is that he is voiced by D.C. Douglas. It's a weird case in which we know the localized name, but we don't know whose name was changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Laufeyson Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 If Pieri's name changes, i feel like it might be Penny or Penelope. (Penny being short for Penelope) Lazward, i think that one is gonna change but im not sure to what. Ill riot if Odin's name is changed.

Anacybele Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Of course you'd want Odin to stay Odin, Florina. lol But yeah, Gayserbeam has it covered, pretty much. Except Rinka became Rinkah, for whatever reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Party Moth Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 As can be seen in the Treehouse footage from E3, Gunter's name is still localized as Gunter, not Gunther. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 I perfer Iago to Macbeth. Names with obvious references to well-known mythology or fiction, like "Macbeth" or "Beowulf" can often feel contrived. I'm pretty sure Iago is a reference as well. Arguably a more appropriate one, considering his character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Laufeyson Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 I'm pretty sure Iago is a reference as well. Arguably a more appropriate one, considering his character. Yeah. They kept it Shakespearian (which is awesome) and much less in-your-face. I approve Iago over Macbeth. JUST DONT LET THEM TOUCH OPHELIA! #ShakespeareNerd The fun thing about this game is that a lot of the names really dont need to be localized too heavily. Id reckon the majority of them (and 98% of the Hoshidan names) are going to be the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mox Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 I'm pretty sure Iago is a reference as well. Arguably a more appropriate one, considering his character. Yeah, I agree with you and I think that the name 'Iago' is by far more appropriate for his character. . Iago is the antagonist of Shakespeare's play Othello. He is a Machiavellian manipulator who plots against Othello (amongst others) out of jealousy and spite. By many he is considered the most notorious and infamous Shakespearean villain of them all.

Just checked and you're right. I'll correct that. I'm also going to add class names to my list, as that's a big deal too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Oh, FE is using Shakespeare names now? That's cool! I actually used one in my fic as well (Cato). But anyway, I like the name Iago better than Macbeth myself, mainly because of the Disney character and the fact that I just think it sounds better. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example I gave him a family who all have names from Shakespearean plays and who have some traits of those characters, even the place Iago comes from I named after the castle Macbeth rules in. Because I do ship my FMU, Teresa, with Iago I head canon that they're both very mush into poetry and plays. Anyway, I could literally go on all day about my headcanons for him if I'm being honest, I have pages of the stuff.

Water Mage Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Wasn't Cordelia's name also from a shakesperian character as well? I remember that character was famous for sayingthe quote "To love and be silent". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gayserbeam Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 (edited) Maybe they'll get Gilbert Gottfried to voice him.I would pay big bucks to see Gilbert Gottfried voice Iago.But I would give 100× that to hear him voice Midoriko. Wasn't Cordelia's name also from a shakesperian character as well? I remember that character was famous for sayingthe quote "To love and be silent". Yeah, from King Lear. But she was talking about her dad, not about unrequited romance. Still a clever reference. Don't get me wrong for what I posted earlier: I love a clever reference like everyone else. It's just contrived when its as recognizable as Macbeth- especially when Macbeth isn't even a first name, and is synonymous with the character. Naming a character "Mark" as a biblical reference that relates to his role and personality is cool and adds depth. Naming a character Satan or Zeus or Jesus Christ or Ramses or Macbeth makes it more obvious that the character is a creation with a role which forces you to suspend your disbelief and makes the story less immersive as a result. It's fine for the Japanese players who don't speak English so the reference doesn't hit them as hard and they just acknowledge it as English-sounding. But in the West, it's the duty of the localization team to change the names to create the best experience for local players. TL;DR, Iago was a good change.
