Anomalocaris Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Why are they calling them "lance fighter" and now "spear fighter" when they use naginatas? I hope they don't rename naginatas to "spears", they're my favorite weapon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they don't rename naginatas to "spears", they're my favorite weapon. I doubt it. Spears in the past are basically ranged lances, so It doesn't seem likely they will. Then again, the pegasus knight is now a sky knight... so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry they're keeping Naginatas this is from the Polygon Birthright footage I apologize for the poor quality screen shot.

iavasechui Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 So Matoi is now an anagram of Cordelia, just like Rhajat is to Tharja. Bets that Gurei will be named Usagi? If this does turn out to be the case the only thing preventing me from making fanart of him dressed as sailor moon is the fact that I can't draw for shit.

Anomalocaris Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Okay, good. I might make my Corrin a lance-wielding class just so I can use naginatas. Love 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giga Man Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 So, I did a quick calc, and all the DLC bought separately in US Dollars equals $24.90. I personally subtracted the costs of the EXP, Gold, and Weapons DLC in case I didn't want to bother with grinding (even though I bought those in Awakening and used them actively...), and the total after that was $17.43. Since I want everything else for certain, should I just buy the pack at $17.99 and call it a day? It would at least save time in buying everything I want individually.

Leif Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Ack, I can't keep up with all these updates. Caeldori? Very interesting. I usually don't complain about name changes, so I am not terribly bothered. I am a bit bothered by Kaden for Nishiki? Umm, what was wrong with Nishiki? Kitsunes are japanese. -_- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebony Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Is this an ASOIAF gag? Possibly. I got a boxed set of the books so I've been rereading them and Bran is a nice name anyway uehue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Odinson Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Well, I wouldn't say Kaden isn't exactly un-Japanese, though I think this is better name for a Rotom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nordopolica Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Well, I wouldn't say Kaden isn't exactly un-Japanese, though I think this is better name for a Rotom. Many of the translations seem to be electronics-related lmao. One I've found is 'family tradition/history'? Written like 家伝. This could be a massive stretch but my Japanese is limited to two uni courses in my first year lol so I wouldn't know the difference.

The 家 in 家伝 and 家電 both mean family.電 is electricity, but in this case can also mean electronics. It's basically Family-stories and Family-electronics, in the most basic sense.

NekoKnight Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Diviner, Sky Knight and Wolfskin sound pretty cool. Pretty meh on a lot of the other changes. At least Oboro kept her name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inquisitor Lavellan Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 ...Benny for Benoit? Yeah, I don't like that one. Laslow for Lazward is putting Camp Lazlo in my head and I hated that cartoon. >.> (Laslow looks like it's pronounced the same way as Lazlo) Everything else I'm fine with. Rhajat > Raj. Who's going to be Clam? I am very against a lot of these. Reina is a nice name, but Yuugiri is much better. And Caeldori is silly though I wasn't expecting anything too amazing after Rhajat. Hopefully they go with Usagi for Gurei. I guess I'll just have to get used to these. It isn't like my complaining will actually do anything.

SniperGYS Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I will make an altar because Oboro keep her name! I took she for sure will get a new name but nooo! I'm happy for that!! Now... Chevalier is now named Cheve? Like really?? Cheve??? (Its Chevalier right?) I'm from Mexico, and here cheve is a word used for beer, when someone say to you "Give me a Cheve" they are asking for beer, so... I find this funny xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoboKD001 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I'll be honest, I kind of prefer Hayato to Tsukuyomi. I don't even want to try remembering his Japanese name... >_>; Hayato is so much better for me, I don't get why people want Gurei's name as Usagi but I guess it's better than Sugai lol. Sky knight sounds fine since tenma means sky horse :p Laslow. Ok, I can live with that. Benny. I'm dying lol. I swear if they don't name Ignis as Iggy... Caeldori...ok. And in Elise's profile, it said Norhian instead of Nohrian??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladyfoster Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 At first I was kinda annoyed over Benny (I will say he's one of the characters I know very little about but apparently I've since heard the game calls him that as a nickname), but now I can't help but read in in a Tommy Wiseau voice and I think he's probably going to end up as one of my favorite characters because of that. Meanwhile my poor husband, Laslow was the best you could think of, honey? It's not bothering me much either, I just find it really funny. I'm just still annoyed over Tsubaki being Subaki. Someone made a nice graphic thing with characters and their names meaning (both English and Japanese names) and Tsubaki's was just kinda painful to see have the English one essentially being "people don't get this name without the the T, it's just not a thing". I hate the idea of being a "Japanese/original is always better" kind of fan, but I'm going to have to be with Tsubaki because it annoys that much.
