Butz and Bartz

[Dreddz]

How did this situation happen again, I call him Bartz, but how did Butz come along, vice versa.
Was he called B***z in the original game, and B***z in the remake ??, Im baffled...

[vampirepiggyhunter7]

B***z???
WHAT?! Just say it, we wont bug you about it...

[Shin Gouken]

He's bartz in my anthology version so i say bartz

But some who play FFVII have taken to calling aeris, aerith :confused:

Just call him what his name is in your version

[vampirepiggyhunter7]

Aerith and Aeris is a mistranslation. Thats why shes Aerith in KH. They fixed it. I like Aeris. It sounds sweeter.

I go by the name in the game :) aeris, aerith, it doesnt bother me which. But i like Bartz better than Butz. You can make fun of a name like butz. ie Seymour butz. :D

Must've been something wrong with my translation, my main guy was called Maxx. Seems to happen a lot with me an RPGs...

Hey! It wasn't Maxx, it was Ren!

[Crossblades]

Hey! It wasn't Maxx, it was Ren!

What about Stimpy? :p

[rubah]

I prefer Bartz.

Let's wait for Kishi to tell us what it is supposed to be!

[Rengori]

What about Stimpy? :p
He died halfway through. Didn't you play the game?

[Slade]

I call him Butz because thats what his name was when I played the game. I used to think it was a strange name but not as much anymore.

Other stuff about him was that he was an Amnesiac alien. Does that ring a bell?

I was putting in the * to not indicate a specific name...

That I knew:p :)

I believe Butz was used in the original Japanese version of FFV. They may have changed it to Bartz in the North American PSone version because we would think his name would be rather silly. Then again, we may start opening up a topic of how to pronounce his name...either "Butts" or "Buttzy"....:laughing:

It could be a translation thing also as to why in the PSone version they changed it to Bartz. The translated Emulator/ROM has it as Butz. I think I saw or read somewhere for the Japanese version that its Butz.

Try to think of it this way: In FFVI, Tina's name in the NA version is Terra by either a translation error or they edited it because in their opinion, Terra sounds better.

[Xaven]

Um, I've only played the translated ROM, so I know him a Butz. However, I pronounce everything in my own special way, so "Butz" = "Boots".

Wait....how did the name "Bartz"/"Butz" come about? In my game, he didnt have a default name.

As for Terra/Tina, In Japan, Tina sounds like a different exotic name (which is common in FF, I mean, what character has ACTUALLY had a NORMAL name? ) but in NA, Tina is a common girls' name. So they came up with Terra, which sounds exotic in NA. At least, that's what Wikipedia says......

As for my previous statement, I understand that in the EARLY FFs, there were normal names (Sara, Stella, Maria, Guy, Leon, etc.) but that was before FF was more storylined

Well if you go by Japanese sounds, it would be pronounced Boo-t-z, because U is pronounced as an Oo sound...I've called him Butz (but pronouncing boots) since i played a translation i dled.

Lenna was also changed to Reina for NA, as was Cara to Krile...I believe.

[Zeromus_X]

Here's a picture of a Japanese pewter figurine, and it says "Butz".

So Butz is his real name, no matter how embarrasing it sounds :cat: :p

[eestlinc]

Batz, fools. :D But yea my anthology version doesn't give him a name at all. The fan ROM i played had him as Butz.

I usually rename him Tony or something, though.

Pronounced the same. 'Cause Aerith isn't pronounced using english phoenetics. So they spelled it Aeris so we'd pronounce it properly. Then everyone cried foul for some reason.

I won't even get into the Bartz/Butz thing. I didn't like the game anyway. But the sequal anime I loved. It hat Pretz

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

And Pretz is actually Pritz. It never ends!

[ehsteve]

I agree with Xaven on this one. The better name is "Butz," but only if it is pronounced "Boots."
