What exactly makes those different from Spearovich? Almost all of them are in fact just "Spearovich" in the native language.

i may be wrong here as i don't speak any of these languages fluently, but ovic/ovich means 'son of', right? fried doesn't mean that. it means 'peace'. so i think the german equivalent would be speersen?

Yeah, that's the point they're making. All of the non-English versions localized the name to something that flows better, as opposed to "Speardovich" which is a direct translation.

Yaridovich's character is that he is the spear dude, not that he is the offspring of a literal spear, there's no need to keep the slavic patronym if you've got a better pun

Before Clive, before Jack Garland, we had Kevin.


Though, thinking about it, almost all of the playable characters in FF2 had normal names. The only abnormal or uncommon ones are Firion, Minwu, and maybe Ricard?

I predict that they will never use the same voice actor more than a few times for Mario characters again. They don't want anyone thinking about the actor.

Princess Peach *used* to be an emotional woman who needed to cry and rage to get things done, now she's a detective and a martial artist. Nintendo is destroying the concept of femininity. Don't they know the job of being a pink character who swaps between a bunch of different jobs belongs to a man like Kirby?
