I picked up on Rhajat right away but didn't realise those were the same. Now I just feel like an eejit xD Caeldori was the one that stood out to me the most, because it looked really forced to be an anagram name. I do like Asugi though, I like who they made it sound more ninja-like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to see how clueless he can truly be. In Japanese, 空気が読めない, "Can't Read the Mood". 26 minutes ago, mcsilas said: @Johann Oh wow, I didn't actually notice Draug was "Guard" re-arranged. That's actually pretty neat. @Johann Well, fuck. Not only is Draug "guard" spelled backwards, but ドーガ ("Dohga", Draug's name in Japanese) is ガード (phonetic transliteration of "guard") spelled backwards. Mind = blown.

Jingle Jangle Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 So how would Draug interact with Luke? I guess he would be petty upset that someone not only stole his looks, also is twenty pounds lighter. Sure there are characters in the series that looks similar, but in the same game.

I do like Asugi though, I like who they made it sound more ninja-like I agree. I noticed Rhajat 'cos it was an awful looking name (imo). I didn't like the name Caeldori, either, but I thought it was just a fancy one and didn't think to rearrange. Asugi, I just liked the sound of and didn't think to mix up xD 41 minutes ago, r_n said: R-really? Like it's literally guard backwards. I never bothered with Draug enough to bother thinking about his name. He's... not really the most stand out character imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
property of nuvelle Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Cordelia is a pretty hard name to make an working anagram with. Localization team dug a deep hole for the next. But seriously, what other name can you make out of Cordelia? I know people here like to joke about Riceload. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingle Jangle Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 But why they had to make an anagram in the first place? I'm perfectly fine with the names Tiamo or Matoi, for names to Cordelia 2.0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a common thing in games, though, and the name is (mileage may vary I suppose)just weird enough compared to even things like Ceada or Ogma that you see "huh that reads really familiar" idk, Draug's always been that guy I know as having so little going on that his biggest stand out trait is his name is guard backwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I focus on Draug more than *throws a dart*...anyone in the wolf pack, for instance, since he tpyically gets a little more focus. Still bitter over the TMS decision.

I mean don't get me wrong, I love talking about localization and stuff, I find it really interesting when it's a balanced conversation. Just people treating the FE localizations (specifically Fates localization, but it's by no means exclusive to that game) like it's the literal work of Satan out to destroy all that is good and light about this universe and all universes is just a little tiresome. Just a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyon I don't lump as much together (i pronounce it more like lion, maybe more distinctliy as LIE-on), but man Leo & Leon are just... Like that had to be on purpose. They could have easily just given Leon a totally different name, since the original gaiden never made it over here and Leon himself was never in a localized game. If only they called Kamui Reflet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
