Title: REPP-lloyd? REE-ploi'd?
Post by: Align on November 26, 2008, 01:01:19 AM
Just curious.
Official definition would be interesting but not necessary.

I always said it as "RE", not "REE". Most voice actors seem to go that route as well, down to Wayne Doster in X4 to Epsilon in CM and Sigma in MHX.

Every english voiceover i've heard in the games has pronounced it as "Reep-loid", so that's what I've grown to say.

I have a tendency to pronounce things the way they're spelled.

Hence REPP-loid.

Repp-lloyd here as well. Reep-loid just sounds weird.

Well, however they say it in the voiceovers. Repp-lloyd, Rep-loid, does it honestly matter?  ???

Reploid and Repliroid are short for Replicate Android. therefore, for the contraction to make sense, the rep is pronounced 'rehp'.

That doesn't apply to this situation in the slightest sense.

English voice overs have ALWAYS said Repp-lloyd

You guys can't actually be asking this one.

It's REPP-lloyd, and every voice actor has pronounced it as such.
Title: Re: REPP-lloyd? REE-ploi'd?
Post by: Rockman Milo on November 26, 2008, 06:48:23 AM
I think REPP-lloyd is the right one since it is much closer to the original name: Repliroid.
Title: Re: REPP-lloyd? REE-ploi'd?
Post by: Align on November 26, 2008, 09:29:48 AM
Hmm, I guess that all makes sense. I read the name way before I heard it or saw its origins, so the REE- (like in return) is what stuck.

Rep (as in reputation) loid (as in lloyd).

I'm pronounced it that way.

why? because that's how we (Indonesian's people) pronounced it...

that's all...

EDIT: and yet first post in page 2

Post by: Machina on January 08, 2009, 09:45:47 AM
I usually pronounce it REP-LOID or OH-GOD-@#$%-ING-DAMN-IT-YOU-STU-PID-@%$#-ING-RO-BOT-JUS-DIE-X-ZE-LO~

... I have rage issues...

Re-Pu-Ri-Roi-Do. I have the Japanese accent so I pronounce Repliroid like that.

That's how I say it.

As a total North American (Canadian, mind you), I find it inconceivably hard to pronounce "Repliroid" how Aile-Chan does.

Two "R"s in a row is hard.  >_<

As for how I pronounce it, the same as Sky and Sakura.

The latter has made me spend another 10 seconds of my life typing this.

Thaaaaaanks.  8D

In Polish it's "say (almost) exactly what you see", so for me it's re-plo-id and re-pli-ro-id.

It's always been Rep-loid for me. I've never heard it said differently, but then again, I've never been paying attention either.

Po-tay-to, po-tah-to, I suppose.

Now we just need to find someone who still cares about this topic.


Could take some effort.

If there's really that much of an "on the fence" deal with me posting in a topic that was still on the first page to begin with, my personal suggestion is to just lock it and let it die then.

Quote from: Translated
Repliroids... They were robots designed to look like Humans...

These technical marvels were given unique personalities and were intended to be the perfect workers and the perfect partners for mankind...

But... the wheels of peace between Repliroids and Humans were beginning to grind to a halt.

The Repliroids were well designed. Perhaps too well. Their humanity began to sow the seeds of rebellion. The rebels were labeled Irregulars and feared by their Human masters...

The Humans decided to pit Repliroids against Repliroids... That was the fate given to them.

The Repliroids fighting for humanity were never given a choice...

Thus the war of the machines began and the Humans just watched...

War begot war... And time passed... Even with the construction of the utopian Human city Neo Arcadia, the war dragged on...

The Irregulars defeated the leader of Neo Arcadia. And now... Neo Arcadia is under the control of the criminal Dr. Vile.

The former Utopia is now only a shadow of its former glory. Many have started to flee the city.

We are one of those groups fleeing from the clutches of Dr. Vile in our caravan...
