Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


It's Mayko, Aeris, Yoofee, and Tiedus, and no I won't change for no man.

I could see Macko, but I don't get how Mayco was such a common pronunciation for it.

I have to wonder how they will deal with Red XIII's name. He hasn't really been in anything voiced, has he? I really hope they don't try and say the whole thing every time he's mentioned.

He's a loving water sports player with a water sword, I'm going to call him Tie-dus until the day I die.

They'll probably go with Red or Nanaki.

This bugged me during FF7R's demo but uh... "Mah-Ko" or "May-Ko"?

I always thought it was "May-ko".

Mah-ko because the "Ma" is 魔 the first kanji for the Japanese word for magic

Regardless of the quality of FF7's translation I'm still thankful they didn't directly translate it as "magic light"

Lots of people have heard of Mako sharks and that's pronounced may-ko :ms:

So you think they'll call the future parts just like "Episode 2" or "Part 2" or will they have subtitles?

It could be fun if they just have everything be FF7R with different R words. Remake, Rebirth, Reunion or something.

Future parts will be called FFVIII Remake, FFIX Remake, etc. Just to really gently caress with people.

Half the cast should pronounce it differently to the rest, and they should argue about it while you're running around doing stuff.

Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.
Mayko shark is also wrong, technically.

It does follow the rules of English phonetics though, such as they are. A single consonant surrounded by two vowels makes the first vowel have a long sound, as in "case" or "braking".

Well, forum SA goon Chip Cheezum has already done an in-depth informational playthrough of the demo, so I wouldn't be surprised if he did the full game at some point.

Oh wow, some people were discussing "anime grunting" and I didn't really follow, but the opening has like four people aggressively grunting at each other before a single word is said. That is impressive and pretty weird. (Also during the lull in the music, come on, just gimme the rest of Bombing Mission).

Could this be one of the rare cases where pre-ordering a video game is the sensible thing to do?

No, but it's definitely more justified than usual. I just hope Amazon UK is getting it early. :ohdear:

I'm so tempted to preorder it, but with Amazon delaying non essentials lately I'm prob just going to buy it digital, then get a physical copy later when it's on sale.

As usual Square is a bottomless pit I just throw money into

I essentially pre-ordered (digitally) as soon as I got my ps4 because the dollar is rising as we speak and it's not like I wasn't going to play it.

The price of the digital copy of the game went up by 25% in the last month.

Elentor fucked around with this message at 10:44 on Mar 30, 2020
