Linoa?

[Fantasy Fan]

When browsing the internet I came across a picture of her but it said "Linoa" not "Rinoa" anyone else seen that Engrish?

[TheSpoonyBard]

*Types 'Linoa' into Google Images*

Yes, I've seen it.

[Fantasy Fan]

on FF7 AC they call Cloud Clroudo. Or Croudo. Or something.

[muzzer]

believe it or not you actually get more resluts for linoa than you do rinoa
:choc: :moomba:

That's because Cloud is pronounced that way with the Japanese tongue.

[MJN SEIFER]

Ls and Rs get screwed a lot during translations. If you look at the Motobike scene in FFVII you'll see a sign saying "Midgal".

[Acid Raine]

There are a million of the Engrish mistranslations. Corneria = Cornelia, Lenna = Reina, Midgar = Midgal, they SERIOUSLY need new translators.

Midgar = Midgar?

It's all Japanese pronounciations, R's are pronounced as L's and vice versa...well really R's are a drl sound, less emphasis on the d...or something...I'm acting like I know stuff again...

Anyway, Croud is the right pronounciation of Cloud in Japan, as I imagine Rinoa = Linoa in Japan.

And DONT google Linoa unless you want to see a really ugly naked model >.<!

It's a mistranslation? I always thought it was another weird pairing between Laguna and Rinoa.

Funny, I googled both.

Linoa - 1,140
Rinoa - 11,800

[Zeromus_X]

Yeah, L and R are interchangeable in Japanese. By this I mean that they don't have an 'L' sound in their vocabulary, so they replace it with 'R'.

I'm sure it's Rinoa, though I'm also sure there's a Square romanization on merchandise or something...:cat:

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

they don't have an 'L' sound in their vocabulary, so they replace it with 'R'.It's more accurate to say that they have the same sound for Rs and Ls. The sound isn't overtly R but rather somewhere in between.

Linoa - 1,140
Rinoa - 11,800

i didnt google em, i used another one, cant remember its my..something

Ew.

[Acid Raine]

Ew.
Yeah, no kidding. That would make Squall Rinoa's stepson. I mean, Rinoa is only like.....5 months older than Squall.

[starseeker]

That is wrong on so many levels.

VICTOLY!

They just say rl or rl sounds for both because it's the same letter to them. It's learry funny when they say things rike that though. lorring on frool raughing

You know, that is a pretty racist comment right there. They dont flip-flop every l and r around.

[wingHEART]

I think 'Linoa' was the name used in the French version of the game.

[Acid Raine]

What makes you say that?

[Zeromus_X]

Well, they 'think' it did. They didn't claim it to be true, unless they have the French version or something.

Anyway, that's a plausible explanation. Cloud's name was changed to Clad in the French version. :cat: Not that it really matters anyway...

lol that's what I thought when I saw the title of this thread. :D

[wingHEART]

What makes you say that?


Because I read it.

[Fantasy Fan]

wait, I'm confused, which is the right way? Linoa or Rinoa. But that Rinoa Laguna thing is kinda funny and... gross.

Rinoa is the accepted and 'right' way of saying her name in countries where English is the dominant language. But if you want to be technical about it, then Linoa is not actually a 'wrong' way to say it, at least I don't think so.

Besides, Rinoa sounds better to me.
