FF13Versusの主人公の名前は『オリヴェイラ』で決定されたのか否や…という情報を見つけました。


it's still unknow whether they are true
But I think it's more reliable from the Japanese websites than the Chinese websites

[Ultima Star]

Tell you what..I don't understand a thing that's what:nod:
I don't speak japanese or chinese..I just know some words but..not writing -_-

[XwingsofaresX]

wow...uh...i seriously dont understand that...:(

[estella]

Wow, good find. Sadly they dont increase the liability of the information because they are no different than forums like this one. Merely users gossiping asking if what they heard was true. Hence it still doesnt solve our problem. We dont know if its valid!! =D

[Ultima Star]

Don't tell me that..you understood that:blink:

[XxFeaRLeSsxX]

I can..... sort of, I get scraps of info from reading the chinese words in sentences :D

[Ultima Star]

So what did you get? tell us:ohmy:...please:'(

[estella]

Ima native speaker X3 tho...its fluency after English

[Timi]

I can understand some of them ,too.
That is because the majority of words in Japanese are similar with those in Chinese.

[Terros]

Wasn't this brought up before? I think it was discredited, but I don't know for sure.

[razenhavoc]

this makes me wanna brush up on my japanese....

[Spinel]

Call BlankChocobo!! Maybe she wanna help us...

Seriously, I don't understand Japanese... If it's Chinese I still could read it a little bit...

[pupucachi]

BlankChocobo.... Where are you? ^____^

[Maiya Saiyado]

Uh, I believe this came up before and I believe it came up to be false. I can't remember what happened to the thread so I'm guessing it really did end up locked or something along those lines.

Also, Blank is probably sleeping. She needs her sleep, she does too much translating for us =_= Be sure to thank her next time you see her.

Firstly, next time you people need me, send me a PM! I miss stuff on the forums all the time and would have happily translated this sooner. ^__^ I think the second response is the only interesting one.




First source translation:

06/15 1:33 SilverSnow: Is it true that FF Versus 13's protagonist's name is Oriveira?

She just wants to know, too. XD The actual website no longer contains the post, seems. It's kind of like a shoutbox, that source.

The second source is our dear new Affiliate Kanae's blog page. An entry on how Shonen Jump published an article on Yuffie appearing in Crisis Core. XD The mention of "Oriveira" on this page is in a comment left by a user with the same name, SilverSnow, asking Miss Kanae saying: "There is a rumor that the FF Versus 13 Protagonist's name is Oriveira, but is it true?"

Kanae responds: "Thanks for leaving a comment. Oriveira.... The Versus 13 protagonist's name has yet to be officially announced. I heard that according to Nomura, in the Jump Festa and Square Enix Party trailer, the protagonist's name is on the radio, but the volume was too low to hear the radio clearly. It is possible that there was a person present who heard "Oriveira" in the trailer, but... there is nothing I can do to confirm it, I am sorry. I am anxiously awaiting an official announcement in a magazine or such.

SilverSnow responds simply thanking her.

The third source has died by now ._. It was also a "shout box" type source. The part written here doesn't make a claim as to whether or not it's true. I think it roughly says something like "Has it been determined that the protagonist's name is Oriveira? I found an article that says 'No.'"

Unfortunately, because Japanese is weird and stupid, I think that word for "No" can also be used for "Yes." =.=; It's a really vague word. In any case, it has no article attached, so I can't read the article.

It seems like none of the sources are claiming to have heard for themselves the word "Orveira."

[XxFeaRLeSsxX]

*silent hooray that his name is not Oriveira*

Though it's kinda sad that they haven't released the main character's real name yet =/

Sidenote: *sees Blanky's siggy* W00t! :P

yes, its not...oriveira.^_^

[Hakimichi]

if it was nomura it would be some name that have relation with the air/wind

just like cloud, squall and sora.

i don't think it would be oriveira. what does oriveira mean anyway? and what language?

[Terros]

It could be the japanese transliteration of another name. To me it kinda looks like the name "Olivia" she was a character from Hamlet. It could also be "Oliver" but I don't think it's either. And I don't think this is his name either.

It's not. Those would be spelled differently~~

But I don't know how I would change Oriveira to an English spelling... Orbeira? Not even.. the Ri sound should stay because it would be Ru if it was meant to be a quiet vowel ~_~ I don't know, but I think we're safe from the "Oriveira" name. XD

[jenny_kumiko]

I did hear that abt prince name...if im not wrong..i guess Orbiera???But just guess...maybe other spell i guess

[BlankChocobo]

Orbeira or Orveira... either way, it's a really girly name for such a serious guy ^^;

I guess it could actually be spelled Oriveira, too....


I'm hoping it's not true ^^;;;

[Dark Remnant]

The name Oriveira wouldn't suit him at all, I doubt Nomura would call him that anyway.

Hey guys. I'm from Portugal, Europe, and when I read something about the character name being Oriveira i saw some resemblance with Oliveira, commonly known as a type of tree here in Portugal. I don't know if there is any connection between them but who knows? xD I will translate wikipedia about Oliveira for you guys to know it.
Oliveira is known as :
The Olive (Olea europaea) is a species (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Species) of small tree (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree) in the family (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_%28biology%29) Oleaceae (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oleaceae), native to coastal areas of the eastern Mediterranean (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mediterranean) region, from Syria (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syria) and the maritime parts of Asia Minor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asia_Minor) and northern Iran (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran) at the south end of the Caspian Sea (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caspian_Sea). Its fruit, the olive (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olive_%28fruit%29), is of major agricultural importance in the Mediterranean (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mediterranean) region as the source of olive oil (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olive_oil).
The olive is one of the plants most cited in recorded literature. In Homer's Odyssey (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odyssey), Odysseus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odysseus) crawls beneath two shoots of olive that grow from a single stock.The Roman poet, Horace (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horace) mentions it in reference to his own diet, which he describes as very simple: "As for me, olives, endives (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endive), and smooth mallows (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Althaea_%28genus%29) provide sustenance." Lord Monboddo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_Monboddo) comments on the olive in 1779 as one of the foods preferred by the ancients and as one of the most perfect foods.
The leafy branches of the olive tree, as a symbol of abundance, glory and peace, were used to crown the victors of friendly games and bloody war. As emblems of benediction and purification, they were also ritually offered to deities and powerful figures: some were even found in Tutankhamen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tutankhamen)'s tomb.
:rolleyes:This is all i think is important to say. Hope it helped....(and sorry for the bad english>_<:blink:)

OMG if the Prince's name can be hardly heard from the radio, i think well watch this trailer 10000 times with imba loud sound and we will understand what name is it :)

Actually, Oliveira would be a valid translation from Japanese. :blink:

But we don't know if this word exists in Versus at all or what it actually is, so I have no idea how to connect this to everything else. ^^;

Interesting find though~~

[LiOn]

Eheh Thanks =)
^_^

[Terros]

Still, where would the name have come from, since officially there has been no mention of the name from Square.

[Dark Remnant]

Just fans making connections and then hyping them up.

Mere speculation with a connection.
