I remember when I first saw his time-skip design I thought it made him look even shadier than before (laughs). His new beard makes him look a little more adventurous. I feel like Claude is the character whose appearance changed the least after the 5 year time-skip. There’s other characters throughout the series whose names overlap with each other, so I’m not bothered by it. I always wanted to reveal his identity during the game, but… Oh, well. Kusakihara: That was also pointed out by Masahiro Higuchi (producer on FE3H), but the name was originally intended to be an alias, so I didn’t worry about the overlap in names. *Note: There’s a character by the same in Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War. Yokota: Yeah, you know I wondered why we decided on giving him the name “Claude”.* We actually had a scene about halfway in where Nader calls him by the name “Khalid”, but we couldn’t find a good place for it to fit so we ended up cutting it. I wanted to include it somewhere in the game but there wasn’t really a good opportunity, so here we are (laughs). Kusakihara: You guessed it: it’s a false name. Directors Genki Yokota (Nintendo) and Toshiyuki Kusakihara (Intelligent Systems) weighed in on various topics concerning the Switch game.Īt one point of the discussion, it’s revealed that Claude is “a false name.” The Golden Deer leader should actually be known as “Khalid”, according to Kusakihara. If you know any other singers with bad or unusual pronunciations, please let me know! I'd love to do something on all the different ways singing can affect how you pronounce things (*cough* why singers say 'baybay' instead of 'baby').In the most recent issue of Nintendo Dream, the Japanese magazine published a massive Fire Emblem: Three Houses developer interview. I can't really explain Halsey, but who can explain Halsey? (disclaimer: I love Halsey!) Like Khalid, her normal speech also doesn't have any 'wabbit' pronunciation. This also accounts for Ariana Grande: she's gotten a lot of flak for not pronouncing words clearly, and this is a result of her articulating them weakly. It's not uncommon for singers to speak clearly in their regular speech and then be harder to understand when singing. If Khalid doesn't really commit to the sound when he's pronouncing it, then it will end up sounding like a 'w'.
English speakers also round their lips when they make the 'w' sound.
English speakers round their lips when making the 'r' sound. My explanation: Khalid uses an alveolar approximant (tongue behind teeth), but he's not pronouncing it clearly.
