How the heck do you pronounce "Veigues"???

[offsidewing]

Ahhh, I dug through my box of college stuff and found my Cassel's German/English dictionary.

Götze = Idol  Götzen is plural.

Deiner = is a conjugated form of "your" or "yours" but Gotendeiner is a compound noun and the 'deiner' portion would not (or should not be) used to show possessive.  Although, Japanese to German may be a little more convoluted and it may be the best they could come up with.

I know nuttzing about the game.

For all I know, Götzendeiner could be the equivalent to "all your base are..." in Germany.

Oooo, if it's really spelled "Götzendiener"  pronounced Gertz-en-dee-ner than it literally means Idol Servant, which I would loosely translate as Idol Worshiper.

Since I don't know one thing about the game, I couldn't tell you if that applies to is or not.

Maybe Veigues is French?

There's a large statue in the first area, maybe the bad guys are worshipping that?

Misspelled, but getting closer!

I always pronounced it as "Veegz",

AND I WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO.

That's how I always pronounced it, too. Isn't that how they pronounced it in one of those Turbo promotional videos?

Probably!

What's funny is that I should have noted that it has a "hard g" sound...because I have OCD and don't want anyone, not even 2-3 people, pronouncing the name of this game incorrectly.

damn.

UPDATE: I feel better now. I looked back and skimmed the thread. I did mention the "hard g", amongst other things. Thank Goodness.

Also, how can this thread be nearly 9 years old? I honestly don't feel like it was that long ago.

Veigues should rhyme with segues.

[Keith Courage]

I pronouce it like Vegas because Megas Xlr is awesome!

Since Japanese law demands each vowel to be their own syllable, it should be pronounced as Vee-eye-gyoo-ess and it should be said with a perfect Japanese accent otherwise fanboys will murder you.

This was disqualified 8-9 years ago.

See my old post for the reason.

I forget what I said, but was good.

[Joe Redifer]

Yeah it probably was.

This is one of many game names that I couldn't be bothered to even look at directly bitd and just called it what it felt like, which is "vay-guess".

I'll also always call Gaiares "Gary's" and Myau "My-you".

Another one I remember: Nobunga's Ambition.

That's silly. Where did the a in Gaiares go?

I think something like Xexyz or Scheherazade should cause more problems, though if people were at all familiar with 1001 Arabian Nights, they would know the latter is pretty straightforward. Xexyz though is thoroughly ambiguous.

Pretty sure it's am-bih-shun.
