Perhaps you might want to use GIFs to depict that then? Like some of the others are saying, it's far more optimal to record things in advance before snagging screen caps. That's what I always do anyway.

It'd take a real Deke to complain about someone having a funny name

Manatee Cannon posted:It'd take a real Deke to complain about someone having a funny name Yeah, that's one of the only major gripes I have with the patch so far, aside from some name changes I didn't like. Why not rename the guy to "Zeke" or something, even if Deke WAS the official name given in Brawl/Awakening (whichever it was)? Or maybe just take a liberty and call him something appropriate short, yet cool sounding? Like maybe "Ozma" if that doesn't sound too much like "Ogma"?

The Japanese clearly want him to be called Dieck so Dieck he shall be  just look at his character-art! Besides, it's an actual name too. Actually I'm really bothered that they changed Dieck to the weird as gently caress Deke but kept Elen instead of Ellen when that's like the #1 most obvious change in the game. Seems very random to me. I mean, if you're gonna change names anyway...

Insurrectionist posted:The Japanese clearly want him to be called Dieck so Dieck he shall be Actually she was Ellen in the old translation. So it's not that they kept Elen, it's that they looked at the old translation and said "Ellen isn't a name" (Probably because they wanted to change the perfect reasonable Alan to Allen) but yes, want to change Dieck to Deke or Duke (Reminder, the former is a hockey plan, not a name) even though Dieck is a legitimate name. EDIT: Well the reason for doing so was Brawl, which probably translated it as Deke because his name pretty much is just Diku. So the literal homophone translation is Dick. And since everyone is 12, and they decided we can't just call him Richard... there's never been a Richard in Fire Emblem? Really? Onmi fucked around with this message at 15:02 on May 18, 2015 |

Amazingly, there's never been an Alex in a fire emblem game, either. The closest is Lex.

Onmi posted:Actually she was Ellen in the old translation. Yeah, I know since I'm playing with the old translation myself. As you said, Brawl provides the excuse for Deke even though I stand by it being way dumber than Dick/Dieck. That said I'm not sure what kinda reasoning they have for these names, it seems very inconsistent. Elen instead of Ellen seems to be because it's how the character art translates it, and it's a reasonable interpretation of what her name would be in English, despite it being a much rarer name than Ellen and seemingly mostly used in Wales. Similarly Allen seems to have been kept for the same reasons (though to be fair it's not that unknown a name anyway, Allen Iverson and all). But then, what's up with the Thany/Shanna deal?

As of Awakening, her name is Shanna. The name changing seems to be horribly arbitrary and I'm just going to shrug at it.

Just wait until we get to Jerrot.

theshim posted:As of Awakening, her name is Shanna. Well...I followed the translation patch as it was being developed by Gringe. Basically, his priorities for names were... "Is there an official localization for it? If there is, then I'll use that official name. If not, I'll decide what they should be". It sounds arbitrary at first, but, Serenes Forest is absolutely INFAMOUS for getting into these huge rage fests over how someone should be named, so Gringe kind of had to have a "forget the crowd, I'm doing things MY way" mentality in order to not be bogged down by all that. So I don't blame him for anything. EDIT: Plus, he's set things up so that anyone who doesn't like the changes he made can easily edit the script themselves if I recall correctly.

It's as simple as popping into FEditor and making the change. I don't blame Gringe for what he did, one of the most infamous wars on Serenes was over the name for Samto in FE12, I believe it was Arch who pointed out that his name had no meaning and at the time they had no real localization for it (Samuto is basically what it literally is) and Arch suggested that he instead be called Virgil, since it was a 'cool' name. In any normal world, this would not have been a big deal, in loving Serenes it basically lead to a war. Anyone trying to edit names of anything got you poo poo on hard.

Samto wasn't in fact the guy the Virgil shitstorm happened over. It was Belf, who Blazer in particular wanted a namechange for because it sounded a lot like "barf" to him. Samto had a pretty big debate over him too, as did Sheema for some reason, but never team-destroyingly bad. IIRC Arch retired from the translation team because of the mess surrounding it, but I'm not 100% sure on the details because it was a couple of months before my time.

But in short, name changes on Serenes are "a big deal" If you want to see some of this nuttery first hand http://serenesforest.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=31780&hl=%2Bthracia+%2Btranslation Just understand that if you're going to do a project like that, it's best to not do it anywhere near Serenes.

hey so it turns out that what i wanted to do was replay FE6 and doing an LP would just get in the way of that rather, I really did have a lot of things about FE6's game design and plot that i wanted to touch on, but the actual process of making an LP just isn't something i enjoy, I've come to realize. there's a reason FEDDOP had so many massive delays even though it could be beaten in like an hour. instead of trying to soldier on and burning out halfway ill just cut this off here. onmi made some really cool posts in this thread, so sorry for not letting you make more. blood pacts were a good plot point. here's some fanart.  good night everybody
