Beruka is just awful, worse than Subaki. Mozu is fine though.

Boy, I sure love the Okami localization model of shortening every Japanese name by one syllable, by which mean I not at all.

Also judging by the video we're getting Yuri Lowenthall as Marth.

If you think the t is even close to silent you aren't pronouncing Tsubaki right, hth. That said, if they didn't want a ts in his name they should have made a new name entirely because Subaki is a terrible name.

It is literally the most pointless name change ever, I don't understand it at all. Beruka is worse though.

I did playthroughs of FF9 and Chronotrigger with everyone named Frank and it was much more fun than if they had names that were not Frank.

There can be more than one character with a name. Also yes, those stones were utterly terrified.

I've honestly liked most of the localizations where they've changed the names entirely like, Azura and Xander are good and Niles and Jakob are both pretty ok. But the ones where they just remove or add a few letters are so weird, why don't they just completely change them? (Though Kazahana to Hana is alright I think)

You say this and yet Krillin and the Ginyu Force actually had very different names in the not-dubbed version. That being said those names actually were more awkward to say in English.

Mozu is fine. Beruka is awful. Niles makes him sound like a dweeb.

I can understand name changes if the original name is weird or has strange significance, (Cougar to Cormag, Ulysses to Bastian,) but stuff like this is just weird to me. It feels like changes for the sake of changes.

I too rage whenever I see Soanavolke's proud name reduced to the shambles we poor English-speakers received.

I'm guessing they changed Zero because it doesn't really sound like a name to an English speaking person. Beruka... I dunno, someone at the treehouse was on a transliteration kick?
