i remember hearing this sort of thing is a lot easier to do in japanese than english for some reason?

looking it up, this "emotional voice system" was a pretty crazy bit of pre-vocaloid synthesis tech, especially for the era, though they only included data for two of the characters - if you wanted other characters to say your name you had to buy magazines with special cover discs that had the extra data so you could save their saying your name to a memory card (taking up most of the space).

pretty ridiculously ambitious for a ps1 game!

i think because the letters all have a consistent sound all you have to set is the stress point in the name with that waveform, which is way easier to deal with than english where you can say the letter a like 4 different ways depending on context

big deal

that would be sooooo booooring. i'd probably enter a coma if i was asleep to begin with. so i have to amend my earlier statement: i couldn't do it in my sleep because i would get bored and lose consciousness forever or die.

it's called pitch accent and it varies depending on the word. It's one of the only ways to distinguish same-sounding words bc their language has few letters. That happens very rarely and it's a context based language anyway, so it's only important for things like unique names. Domo arigato

When I was a kid I read a Batman comic where he hit his head and went into a coma and it turns out when you go into a coma you go to hell and can only come back if you wrestle the devil. He made it seem pretty easy though

I can't remember if everyone has to fight the devil or if it was just Batman specifically but i feel like it implied the former. The only other thing I really remember about it is Batman randomly meeting a wee IRA guy who tells a story about how he once ordered everyone off a bus and shot anyone who wasn't Catholic and Batman essrntially just looked at the reader and announced that the Irish are the scum of the earth and walked off
