    6.4 Urianger repeatedly mispronounces Y'shtola's name

    In Urianger's voiced lines this patch, he keeps mispronouncing Y'shtola as "eesh-tola" instead of "yash-tola". Did something change in the acting or directing or have I just forgotten that he's been mispronouncing her name for the last ten years? This is quite jarring to hear.

    Per Thread: Race Naming Conventions:

    Addendum: Oh, Nidhana is also mispronouncing her name. I guess it was bad directing.

    His delivery and pitch seemed a little off overall this patch. Maybe it's a different microphone and postprocessing.. *shrug*

    Square Enix is a small indie company that can't pay their VA's for more than one take, please understand.

    Everyone was mispronouncing it everywhere. I'm not sure I've ever heard a character pronounce it properly.

    And yes, Urianger sounds off, especially in the first couple of scenes. He sounds disconnected from the rest of the soundscape, if that makes sense, and the voice sounds a bit forced.
