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

*Types 'Linoa' into Google Images*
Yes, I've seen it.
on FF7 AC they call Cloud Clroudo. Or Croudo. Or something.
believe it or not you actually get more resluts for linoa than you do rinoa
That's because Cloud is pronounced that way with the Japanese tongue.Originally Posted by Fantasy Fan
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".
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.believe it or not you actually get more resluts for linoa than you do rinoa
Linoa - 1,140
Rinoa - 11,800
You don't hear the symphony I hear...
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...
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.
i didnt google em, i used another one, cant remember its my..something
Ew.
Yeah, no kidding. That would make Squall Rinoa's stepson. I mean, Rinoa is only like.....5 months older than Squall.
