Another complainy topic where someone whines about a game that has not been made yet!

Basch is pronounced Baw-shh, rhymes with wash.

Fran is sort of a funny name, doesn't strike me as a g-string wearing bunnywoman who hangs out with an airship pimp.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

Fran is Algonquin for "saucy woman," so I think it fits.

[Takara]

Hmm... Bunnies and airship pimps...

>_>

Ashe and Vaan are alright but balflear??? WTF is up with that?

[Ouch!]

I think we've decided that it's Balthier. Balflear was one of those early translations when we first saw his pictures.

[q=Zaphier]I think we've decided that it's Balthier. Balflear was one of those early translations when we first saw his pictures.[/q]Yup, I'd guess it's like Zidane being called "Zitan" in some early images from the Japanese version, or Cloud being named "Claude" in the translation of the Japanese script, for FFIX and FFVII respectively.

[Starcrest]

don't most of the names in FF mean something like, mythical or something?

[iluvpenelo]

they usually have some sort of mythilogical refrence or folklore reference, or are part of some crazy dialect. like the names in IX have references from some countries folklore, cant remember which one, i know vivis second name means, "........." dammit i cant remember. itl come to me though

[Ouch!]

Until we get to the stages where they begin to definitely discuss an American release date, I wouldn't be worried about the names. Even at the last second, for translation stages before they do the voice-overs they can change the name to something completely different than what we have now. I doubt that'll happen, but it's possible.

[Ashton]

I think the names are just fine besides the names won't make the game better what I'm more worried about is the voice acting I hope it be better then FFX

[iluvpenelo]

Yeah i havent completed X yet but some of the voiceovers were crap. like when tidus or someone would suddenly speed up to an inaudable muddle of words. i hope they do it better but id say they will, also, you cant rename the main character in this one. i saw this soldier AND balthier say "vaan" in trailers. i think that'll work better

Yeah, this always irked me about Final Fantasy X, it's not noticable really but when you think about it... It's just pointless to let you rename him and sacrifice his name throughout the entire script, not worth it at all...

[TasteyPies]

Speaking of the "mythical" names of ffX

Rikku = Lick

Yuna = woman who helps people bathe

[Starcrest]

are you serious?

[Ouch!]

I can never tell when TasteyPies is being serious or joking...
