I'm not sure if this has been mentioned anywhere, but is anyone else getting stumped when trying to read or "decipher" NPC names?
It was kinda amusing to hear the voiceover actors straining to pronounce their own or other character names effortlessly too.. :D
Take a few for example, try reading the following FFXIV NPC names out loud:
Sthalmann
Waekbyrt
Merodaulyn
T'kebbe
N'golbb
Swethyna
Niellefresne
S'laiboli
Syhrdaeg
Pfynhaemr
P'tahjha
Anyone's eyes bleeding too? :p
lol The sea wolf Roe's have it pretty bad. XD In my lp, I pretty much just faceroll my words to pronounce them. I sometimes wonder if they just punched they're keyboards and were like "Yep! There we go! Jkwehfculihweiu! Perfect name!"
My best guesses while trying to get online...
Sthalmann= This one is a tongue twister, but pretty much as written. SHTAHL-man
Waekbyrt= WAYK-burt
Merodaulyn= me-ro-DAH-lin
T'kebbe= ti-KEH-beh
N'golbb= ne-GOLB
Swethyna= sweh-THEE-na
Niellefresne= NEEL-frayn
S'laiboli= si-LIE-boh-lee
Syhrdaeg= SEER-dayg
Pfynhaemr= pfin-HAY-mir
P'tahjha= pi-TAH-jys
They can be hard to figure out, but the pronounciation part of this helps: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...ng-Conventions
