Final Fantasy XIII Names in different languages?

[Hunter Hawk 392]

Hey there . I've been just wondering if you can play one game with me.

 

Ok, the deal is that I'm totally crazy about Final Fantasy XIII, duo to the game itself and also characters with their awsome names. With brings us to the main thing - I kinda wanna know names in Final Fantasy XIII in different languages, so help me if you know any other language beside english.

 

For starter I'll translate them in my native language ( I kinda don't wanna tell which one is it )

 

Lightning - Strela

Snow - Sneg

Hope - Upanje or just Up for short

Vanille - Vanilija

Fang - Čekan

 

and some random things:

 

Orphan - Sirota

Shiva Sisters - Šiva Sestre

Chocobo Chick - PiŠčanček Čokobo

 

And some Kingdom Hearts Stuff:

 

Heartless - Brezsrčni

Nobody - Nihče

Unversed - Nepoučeni

Keyblade - Ključmeč

Light - Svetloba

Darkness - Tema

Mickey Mouse - Miki MiŠka

Donald Duck - Jaka Racman

Goofy - Pepe

Sora - Zarja

Ventus - Ven actually means Out! in my native language

 

 

and so on... maybe I'll find something else interesting to translate.

 

Now's your turn, try to translate names and things into different languages.

There isn't Finish version of FF XIII but i can translate some of names to Finish:

 

Lightning: Salama

Snow: Lumi

Hope: Toivo

Fang: Hammas

 

Can't really translate others. Those still would sound hilarious, and stupid. lol

[Kelvy 60]

Besides Sazh and Vanille, I thought all of the XIII characters had very generic and stupid names lol.

And Vanille isn't stupid? She's named after a flavour!

This feels a little redundant, but I can do it in Japanese since it's the only other language I know well

 

Lightning - Katakana (ライトニング / raitoningu) Japanese (電光 / denkou)

Snow - Katakana (スノウ / sunou) Japanese (雪 / yuki)

Hope - Katakana (ホープ / hoopu) Japanese (希望 / kibou or 望み / nozomi)

Vanille - Katakana (ヴァニラ / vanira) Japanese (ヴァニラ / vanira or バニラ / banira) *technically there is no 'v' sound in Japanese

Heartless - Katakana (ハートレス / haatoresu) Japanese (心が無い者 / kokoro ga nai mono)

Nobody - Katakana (ノーバディ / noobadi) Japanese (名も無い人 / na mo nai hito)

Unversed - Katakana (アンヴァース / anvaasu) Japanese (... I don't even know what it means in English )

Keyblade - Katakana (キーブレード / kiibureedo) Japanese (either 鍵のような剣 / kagi no you na ken or 鍵みたいな剣 / kagi mitai na ken) *same meaning really, just two ways to say it

Light - Japanese (光 / hikari)

Darkness - Japanese (闇 / yami or sometimes you see it as 闇黒 / ankoku) *闇黒 is extreme darkness

Sora - Obviously... (空 / ソラ / Sora)

Ventus - Katakana (ヴェントゥス / ventusu) but when they say "ヴェン / Ven" they are really pronouncing it "Ben"

 

I'm done

Still, it's a lot better than naming her "Vanilla" straight out.

Lightning (technically her name is Claire, which I like), Fang, Hope, and Snow (while all cool characters) have the most unimaginiative names in the FF series. In my opinion of course.
