I'm talking about the English one, too. Her name is Shion in Japanese, why would you expect it to be anything different? That's just weird.

The sound quality is pretty bad, so you must have mistaken the Hion. Because they certainly wouldn't call her that.

doesnt sound that bad. and yes i know her name is pronounced Shion in japanese and apparently in english, but i still hear hion. the sound quality isnt 'that' bad so that i hear hion when it's something different. i'm guessing McCartney must have messed up. oh well i'll look for a nother video with better quality.

Your redheaded boyfriend. Durr.






Had to do it. Just once.

And you know what he said in Japanese, right? He said 'let's eat ice cream again, the three of us!'
And I know that it would have been impossible to fit the mouth flaps to, but.
I was really happy when I heard him say it in Japanese, because it was proof that he hadn't totally forgotten about/cut himself off from Axel after that 'no one would miss me' spat.
And yet? In the English version they manage to make that line into the opposite: him being upset because without Xion he'd have no one.
The opening annoyed me, too.
'Lately, I've been thinking that maybe the heart isn't something you can see, but something you can feel'=/= 'I can't just look inside. But if something was there, we'd feel it, right?'

And this is why doing a literal translation from Japanese to English never works. =]

i just put it at max volume, it still says hion to me....well you can hear an s in the beginning but it's not an "sh" sound, more like a "s-h-" sound

EDIT: also, even if it is low quality, i still cant imagine how low quality can change an "sh" to a "h" sound. it sounds like "s-hion"

Point. The Japanese line, to me, sounds as though Roxas was only truly thinking about the three of them remaining best friends just like before, nothing else.


But, eh, there's nothing we can do about it. :\

You go from saying he says "Hion", to saying it now has an "s-h" sound.
You're impossible.

He's saying Shion dear, trust me. That's her name.
you arent really "trying". the only thing you say "because that's her name". i get that, but there are mis-pronunciations. again, i hear an S sound right before he says "hion".

EDIT: i found another video that has better quality. iguess it is shion for now.

YouTube - xion's death english dub
