A coincidence? Nah, don't even think about it.
Ok since I speak french, I've decided to take a few ZX names and translate them into english.
Vent - Wind
> Both names are about freedom I can tell.
Aile - Wing
Praire - Meadow
Giro(ouette) - Vane
Serpent - Snake
Anguille - eel
Silure - Catfish or something like that
Fleuve - River
Chène - An Oak
------------
Well that's a few name I picked up randomly while running trough the base in ZX, and Decided to make a topic about it, I could translate them all on request, just wanted to see if it could interest anybody.
Note that some of this influence was ALSO in the MMZ Series, for example
-----------------------
Ciel - Sky
Cerveau - Brain
MMZ Physis Album - L'oiseaux du bonheur - Bird of happyness -
-----------------------
I could also translate the MMZ names on Request ^^
Notice that a song in ZX had a french name, for example
Cind ville, c'est notre espoir can be translated as - ''5 City, its our hope'' // sounds pretty weird I know O_o
Anyway, I just think this is an interesting fact, it shows how capcom takes inspiration in really anything, like a langage.and also if you can also translate some that I din't list, don't be shy owob
-
Alouette - Lark
-
Vent - Wind
-
Vent - Wind
I already said that one.
-
This has been common knowledge since the Zero series... (Ciel, Cerveu, Alouette, a few other names)
-
Serpent - Snake
Probably coulda worked that one out on our own.
-
I thought Girouette was specifily Weather Vane.
-
I already said that one.
you separated it from the main list
-
you separated it from the main list
It was typed strangely, but Vexan was connecting Vent and Aile together in that they both mean freedom. :\
-
The ENTIRE Resistance from ZERO has a french name. Even the Baby Elves (to Pray and Create), Neige and Montagne.
Cind ville, c'est notre espoir can be translated as - ''5 City, its our hope'' // sounds pretty weird I know O_o
"Cinq Ville" is the name of the city from ZX. Just as "Grand Nuage" is the name for Guardian Base.
-
Even some Mutos have french names: Glacier Le´ Cacktank
BTW I thought that Naige´s name was german matching Kraft......but the french translation of her name sounds better I quess
-
Inti seems to like using French names. I suppose it's supposed to sound exotic or something, but to me it's just regular words (having to speak French on a regular basis and all >_>')
-
Kraft
Craft as of RZOCW's release.
-
So, he is no longer a german soldier but an US marine now?
-
He never was either. Everyone just assumed a German theme for him for some reason.
-
This is old news.
The resistance members had names of birds in French
I think the human caravan members were named after different weather conditions in French, but I can't really remember.
The Cyber Elf in Z4 was initially named Croire, I don't remember what the alternate names for it were.
-
Croire - Believe
Charite - Charity (simple enough to deduce that one :P)
Variable - Uh... same thing in both languages >_>'
Progress - Well... yeah.
Nouvelle - They probably meant "New" with this one.
Recrue - Recruit
-
Why French btw? XD I think for marketing reasons, because the French culture is pretty loved by the Japs
Or because it sounds nice?

I'd say it's probably a bit of Column A, and a bit of Column B.
-
Ciel is a very nice name. Or word, I guess.
-
Hey remember Froid and Chaud, what's up with those names
-
well Froid= cold, and Chaud= Hot XD
And now to fangirls fics haha
-
I also like the French Style naming. Then they stop the trend in ZXA.
I was wandering before about Neige = Snow. What's the significance/relevance?
Then here's the answer.
I think the human caravan members were named after different weather conditions in French, but I can't really remember.
I forgot about that. hehe
-
Then they stop the trend in ZXA.
Just because they started to focus on different people does not mean they stopped the trend.
-
Yup I made a wrong impression. "Stop the trend" is not the right phrase.
Different country = new name styles. In ZXA they made it more plain & universal. Most hunters originate from various places/ regions I think.
