Pronunciation

Re: Prononciation

Because the idea WON'T get across?

It has nothing to do with the Japanese... Chiblade sounds similar to Keyblade in any language.

but X isn't pronounced as CHi in any language, and you didn't even answer the first question (or rather you didn't really give a proper one. you said because it wont and left it as is)

The Greek Letter "X"? Yes, it's pronounced as Chi.

not in ever language i said. either way, the idea can still get across even if it is pronounced differently, they will still be talking about the same letter

If the Greek Letter "X" (not the roman alphabet letter x) is pronounced as Chi, why would that change depending on the language?

X-Blade in the Japanese game is pronounced Chi-Blade
X-Blade in English is pronounced Chi-Blade.

It's not that hard to comprehend.

it's not whether i comprehend or not, it's just whether i agree. which i don't. either way.


though i dont remember anything saying specifically if it is due to greek. if it was specifically mentioned by nomura then yes. if not then i wont agree

It was, and it's also explained by Xehanort himself, the proper pronunciation of a word does not change from language to language, however certain places prefer a localized pronunciation depending on their dialect.

You are honestly so idiotic I have to question how you have the ability to be upwards long enough to even look at a computer screen.

—There was a new type of Keyblade that appeared this time, changing the “key” in Keyblade to “X” (The X of the Greek alaphabet, pronounced “key”. It also has the meaning of “ultimate” or “death”). It’s quite an excellent name.
NOMURA: The name “X-Blade” was Watanabe (Daisuke), the scenario writer’s, idea. How the symbol X ‘crosses’ is symbolic of the crossing of dark and light. The members of Organization XIII get their names by adding an X to the name they had as humans comes from this. Also, the Nobody’s mark looks a lot like Eraqus’ symbol, but you can probably figure out that the reason this is has something to do with Xemnas.

There.

Re: Prononciation

oh well then....i guess it would be called Chiblade, though i would like Exblade better.

Re: Prononciation

Exblade sounds like bad fanfic.

 

[Allister Rose]

Re: Prononciation

you've been calling alot of things fanfic, and i'm sure the name EXblade has been used in other games SE has made.

Re: Prononciation

probably because a lot of fans' ideas sound like bad fanfic.

true but i think you're stretching the idea of "fanfic" conidering Xblade having different pronunciation isn't within the definition, if anything it would be closer to fanservice, though it's not that big of fanservice.

Re: Prononciation

I think they are going to pronounce it ex-blade.

hopefully they pronouce it as chi-blade like they did in japanese or something like that. i don't want them to call it the ex-blade.

 

[MasterZeR0]

Re: Prononciation

I believe it's supposed to sound the same as "Keyblade"

 

[Relix]

Re: Prononciation

"Key" and "Chi" sound alike, thus the reason why it should be pronounced chi. And I always pronounced it as Vankneetis but i rofl when Nimoy said it, VANEEDUS, i mean he said it right but it sounded hilarious coming from his voice :3 anyways they're keeping it close to what its supposed to be, if its from latin then they're gonna use the latin prononciation.

 

[Heart Of Nothing]

Re: Prononciation

So, wait. How were you guys pronouncing Vanitas' name before, if you didn't think it was Va-NEE-tas? That's the proper Latin pronunciation. :I

I pronounced it Van-ih-Taas. i liked mine more than van-eat-us.

They aren't. Doing so completely rids it of its meaning.

That's right. its pronounced "chi" for a reason and "ex" would make no sense, just because the symbol looks like an X your gonna pronounce it 'ex'? how original. i'm not bashing anyone or anything...
