And as hung on a rack with your legs stretched, chest cavity opened, and lungs pulled too as it is, I try to say that, thinking that MUST be how it will be pronounced when the time comes and it is officially pronounced for the first time. Although whatever Heroes invents for a pronunciation I will accept. Although they don't always keep the pronunciations from the first time they're uttered, Tales of Symphonia was inconsistent with the town "Palmacosta" I think. ToS says Palm-uh-cost-uh, and DotNW says Palm-uh-coast-uh. The first game also misled me for years with how Yggdrasil is pronounced- it's youj-dra-sil, not youj-DRAS-see-ill. 8 hours ago, Jotari said: Valencia is a real place too. I find it a crying shame they called in Valentia (even though that is kind of a real place too...kind of). Valencia has such a nice ring to it imo. And Valentia makes me think of Valentines. Valencia makes me think of oranges, which is actually rather accurate, and while the actual Valencia is at the opposite end of the Mediterranean as Greece, the aesthetic inspiration for SoV, it is still on the same sea with a similar clime.

Its been ages but I think they are also a bit inconsistent on Kratos as well. Lloyd says ''Kra-tos'' while Rain says it more like ''Kraitos'' The Yggdrasil one might be intentional since it sounds more like an actual name and the VA's are pretty consistently in calling him ''youj-DRAS-see-ill'' Edited September 3, 2018 by Etrurian emperor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The german one of 7 definitely had Bern. It should be in the English language option; although I never checked the other languages. But it only affected the dialogue--the world map was literally unchanged, which made it extra jarring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I shouldn't be surprised at the change, considering all the other superfluous changes they've done before, but I am confused. Why is it okay in German, but not in English?

Things that are "arch" in reference to a name or a title are pronounced with the hard "K"/hard "C", like "Archbishop" or, in use of this series, "Archsage". Or DOOM's "Archvile". And depending on the language, "Ch" never has a soft sound. For example, I don't think German(English might be the only Germanic language that uses soft "Ch" sounds) uses the "chuh" sound at all, and all instances of that come to mind "ch" are the hard "K"/hard "C" sound. Sometimes it gets soft-ish, but it sounds more like a slurred "K" sound than a "chuh". Plus, if you were to spell it like "Arcanea", you'd get people doing the same here, where people might pronounce it with a soft "C", and it sounds more like "Ar-san-neigh-ah". Then you get the Romance languages, where "Ch"s are even softer than in English, to the point where they're basically "Sh" noises. Really what bothers me is the hard "neigh-ah" part. Ah, Archbishop and Archmage might not be 100% straight examples, but Archipelago is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
