The Amaterasu staff has been attempting to find the ideal adaptations/localizations of all the major names in Inganock, but one of them--the main character unfortunately--has pretty much split us in two, so we need some public opinions.

The actual name: ギー
Transliteration: Gii
Proposed adaptations: Gii, Gi, Guy, Gye, Gee, Ghee

The staff appears to be split between "Gii" and "Guy."

Sample voice files:

http://www.liar.co.jp/voice/ing/keea02.mp3

Pronunciation is [gee], which applies to Guy if you use French pronunciation ([gee] instead of [gahy]). Your opinion, /jp/?

Gee is an actual name. I don't see the issue here.

Also, Guy is ガイ in most Japanese games. Example: the Guy from Final Fight/Street Fighter Alpha.

Ghee or Gii.

It seems obvious that they're going for the French pronunciation, so something that approximates that would be best.

Different characters will use different spellings.

But Ghee is Scottish, isn't it? And it's family name too - Guy works better as a first name

If they're going for the French pronunciation then use the French name.

It's Guy. Any other option is pandering to the mentally disabled.

>mentally disabled

In other words, everyone who voted for the game?

>> No.3298300

Guy = because it's accurate, correct European name. Not using Guy is pandering to uneducated mentally disabled American Englishfag who have narrow worldview. TL note for this a okay.

Anything but Guy = it's a fantasy game with names mixed from myth to abstract names. G/Gi/Gii works fine. Game is being translated to average American Englishfag who never hear Guy being pronounced as anything other than Gai.
