nordopolica Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Laslow, lmao :D I think I now know why your speed isn't great. And Benoit to Benny... It's not bad, but it's just too... ordinary now? I still prefer the original for my Nohrian husbando. Same thing with changing Eponine to Nina; not bad, but a little plain. I actually approve Tsukuyomi getting changed into Hayato, since Hayato is somewhat referencing his Wind Tribe origins. Tsukuyomi just seem to come out of nowhere. The Shinto moon god as an annoying teenager... I can't say I like it. And I'm happy they kept Nyx, Oboro, and Hinata. Nishiki to Kaden will always be a no for me. And man, they tried pretty hard with that Cordelia anagram. I'm still secretly hoping that Gurei won't get a super ridiculous anagram, though, since Gurei isn't an anagram of Gaia. His Japanese name is Guire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NekoKnight Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 His Japanese name is Guire. How did they figure Guire out of Gaia? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nordopolica Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 How did they figure Guire out of Gaia? The same way they got Denis out of Donny. Very specific, obscure pronunciations. In my accent, saying Guire like guile sounds exactly the same as Gaia so there's that. For Denis I guess they were going for French? Who knows man.

Tsuky Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 His Japanese name is Guire. But it's グレイ in katakana, which is gurei in Romaji. Why would it be Guire? And even if it is, it's still not an anagram of Gaia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nordopolica Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) But it's グレイ in katakana, which is gurei in Romaji. Why would it be Guire? And even if it is, it's still not an anagram of Gaia. They're based off their "English" or official Japanese romanisations, like the ones in the 4koma profile sections. For example, Tharja in Japanese is literally サーリャ （Saarya) but the "romanisation" is Sallya, hence Shara's "official romanisation" is Syalla. EDIT: As for the "it's still not an anagram of Gaia," my point was that it was never Gaia. His name in Japanese is Guire as per the "official romanisation" of the Japanese version. Does that make sense? Edited January 27, 2016 by nordopolica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giga Man Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) I don't know about you guys, but I think "Rhajat" is pretty fun to say when you pronounce it without the "t" and give a little "oomph" to that "j". "Rah-ja". Sounds kinda French, but the name looks Egyptian, which is the vibe I get from her design as well as her Tharja design. For the record, I used to pronounce "Tharja" as "Tar-juh". Now, I pronounce it as "Thar-yuh" which is probably the official pronunciation. (So "Rhajat" is probably pronounced as "Rah-yaht" which sounds lame and almost sounds like "riot".

Jester Capri Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 When I saw "Benny" as Benoit, I laughed my ass all the way off. Anyone else a Maximilian Dood fan here? The First thing in my mind was the dog too. XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnation Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Laslow, huh. After Selena I was so prepared for Indigo or something like that! :D I guess I like it, but I don't see any connection to his Awakening name... Caeldori is the only name change I don't like (okay, changing Eponine to Nina makes me a little sad but I can live with it). I appreciate they tried, but it's a bit cringey.

Pete-of-the-Forge Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 It's confirmed. NoA (Treehouse?) hates the French. The same way they got Denis out of Donny. Very specific, obscure pronunciations.[...] For Denis I guess they were going for French? Who knows man. I assumed it is. Denis is a French name pronounced similar to "Duh-NEE". If you look up the song "Denis" by Blondie (a cover of Denise with the gender-swapped), that's how it's pronounced.I preferred Denis, but Donnel was fine. Now... Benny? I was fine with Donny because it's a nickname in-universe, but... Benny?!And now they changed Garou (fr. "werewolf", from loup-garou) to wolfskin! I'm actually glad about the change. I wonder what Managarmr will end up as. And then they changed Eponine (though given how you pronounce "-nine", I get what they were going for). Way to get rid of a nice Les Mis reference, NoA!So yeah, NoA's hatred of the French confirmed. KIdding. But Benny really irks me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gayserbeam Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Gray will probably stay Gray. He's already the only Awakening clone without an anagram name, and his name is already a codename in the first place. And as many have mentioned, the choice of the color "Gray" has significance in his support with Saizo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arisugawa Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Hey, I'm perfectly fine with it. The most recent front page article on here says Kaden might be Nishiki's new name, so at least Tsukuyomi got switched to a japanese sounding name. Kaden is not a Japanese sounding name eat all. I am a bit bothered by Kaden for Nishiki? Umm, what was wrong with Nishiki? Kitsunes are japanese. -_- I was so salty over Nishiki -> Kaden that I gave my friend high blood pressure, so she slapped me with this. 花伝 【かでん】 Kaden (feminine name; first kanji means "flower") 瓜田 【かでん】 Kaden (place; a melon field) 火田 【かでん】 Kaden (noun; "slash-and-burn agriculture." Can also be read as "Hida", a surname.) 河伝 【かでん】 Kaden (surname; "river path") Stuff in the parenthesis was my own research, so it could be wrong. I guess it's pronounced "Kah-den"? Just not sure if "Kah-den" or "Kah-den." It doesn't make me hate it less, but after I had my meltdown over it and know it's actually Japanese... I'm just meh. "Caeldori," on the other hand...

gayserbeam Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Stuff in the parenthesis was my own research, so it could be wrong. I guess it's pronounced "Kah-den"? Just not sure if "Kah-den" or "Kah-den." There's no stress in Japanese; you pronounce syllables distinctly, like Ka-Den. Y'know I think VA for Silas is Yuri Lowenthal aka the voice for my other Boyfriends. EDIT: Now that I think about it, Kaden could be Yuri Lowenthal instead. I thought I even heard some Yuri in Niles as well. He usually does do 2-3 characters because of his "range". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viberum Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) No forget my last post. Kaden is definitely Bryce Papenbrook. I feel it in my skin. I thought I even heard some Yuri in Niles as well. He usually does do 2-3 characters because of his "range". Yeah me too! Yuri is either Silas or Niles, but I need to hear more voices to be sure!! also his range sucks it's either Yosuke voice or Sasuke voice.

My bet's on default Male Corrin at least. The Smash Bros. grunts sound way too much like him. Though something I did note is that Corrin seemed to be entirely silent in the demos we've seen. Maybe the localization added a "no voice" option in customization? Edited January 27, 2016 by The DanMan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
