Busterman64 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 While some changes like Wendy to Gwendoly is pretty ok with me(its still has the Wendy part in it "Gwendolyn" ) and Marduk is alright(but Murduk kinda sounds cooler), Why the heck was Shin(FE6) changed to Sin? Why take out the "H"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paper Jam Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 They also changed Niime to Nimue. Granted, FE7 also mistranslated a few other names (Reglay to Wrigley, in the Heath-Louise C support; Isadora to Isabella, if you use Lowen to recruit Harken; Aenir to Quintessence, if you defeat Nergal after having completed chapter 19xx in Hector mode), so I'm rather inclined to take the names in FE7 with a stiff dose of salt.

Don't forget Almace as Armads and Turpin as Durbans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedEyedDrake Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 (edited) So...what is Katarina's Eremiya-given name supposed to be then? What kind of name can form some sort of theme naming with the name Clarisse? Edited January 20, 2017 by RedEyedDrake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Armads was always Armads in FE7, and Durban was always Durban. Where in the FE7 script was Armads referred to as Almace, or Durban as Turpin?

Where in the FE7 script was Armads referred to as Almace, or Durban as Turpin? He's saying Almace and Turpin are the original names they're derived from. FE7 does seem to intentionally change names all things considered instead of straight lifting them from mythology, as is the case with these two names. Not to say the translators for that game weren't also kind of dense, but there is that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
