Livestream Namco Bandai Games 2012

It does when that's the way 99% of the fanbase is used to hearing it. They got a ton of ridicule on the live stream from mispronouncing it

It makes them look less professional. Namco has enough perception problems with the public as it stands with out adding more onto the pile.

In that case, would you rather then have that species's name be: Saeyan, Seiyan, Syan or Sighan?

It doesn't change that it's not a mispronunciation, no matter how much your nostalgia is telling you other wise. I guess they should have never changed "IT'S OVER 9000!" either because the fans are used to it even if it is a mistranslation.

But they kept it's over 9000....

It's called doing it for the fans in the Nicktoons version:

the same reason why Linda voices Frieza in the first episode of the Nicktoons version.

[Zienzo]

Wait that didn't sound right. I thought it was different -goes off to look for boxset-

And Linda only did the first episode because it wasn't until later that they decided to change it.

[MysticGospel]

Are you sure that's the reason? They changed Linda because her voice wasn't fast enough for the new dialogue, seems wierd that they would cast her and then do a re-cast.

[Zienzo]

Well yes, that's what I meant, but since they released it in batches I would think that the first episode would have already aired before they got to voicing Frieza on Namek.

[MysticGospel]

Yeah, that is true.

[Zienzo]

But that clip with the 9000 part... I don't remember it sounding like that when I watched it. Though I think it's like what you said regarding the Nicktoons version. After all, they did have different scripts.

[MysticGospel]

Oh and you're right about Frieza, I re-watched the interview and they originally started with her, but when the Frieza scripts came in, her voice wasn't fast enough for the dialogue.
