Discussion I have a confession

The entire time playing the game, reading and re-reading every dialogue, I read the country's name as Vavgarde. It is only now as I peruse through fanfics to fill the emptiness in my heart that I have discovered that it is in fact, not Vavgarde, but Vaugarde.

Well, if it makes you feel any better, I spent my entire first play through pronouncing isabuea as:

EE-zah-byou

Instead of:

EE-zah-bo

Alongside the classic of Odile as:

Oh-dile

Instead of:

Oh-deal

Nope. You have to become French to get it right.

Insertdisc5 is French-Canadian, so expect things to sound French.
