360Broscoper Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 If anyone has ever read Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream," they would know that Titania and Oberon are the king and queen fairies with their marriage under turmoil. Perhaps the devs did that on purpose to make a bit of lore referencing Shakespeare, with both frames being uneasy around each other? It's a bit of a long shot, considering that nobody reads these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AM-Bunny Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 The name Titania was decided on by the Design Council regrettably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)Eluminary Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 (edited) The names did Come from the play. There was a guy here last week complaining that Titania was from the Fairy Tail anime which I thought was pretty funny.... I mean there's no way they're going to make a Warframe as good as Erza Scarlet it would just be to OP...

Tbh the other choices weren't good. I judge frame names based on how they'd be said out loud. Titania sounds fine. No need to be all "ew its from a reference" cause most of this games names are references lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreddeth Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Actually Oberon is a reference to Transformers. The upcoming Oberon Prime will take this reference further by being colored red and blue and transforming into a semi truck during Reckoning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A male vampire would pretty much work just like inaros in a way. 9 minutes ago, (XB1)Solargeo said: Trinity being a vampire? no.. no no no. if we going for a true female one we go like Seras, from Hellsing. because well there is a lot of cool things they could do. Well thats just how it is, Trinity's theme was meant to be a vampire. Even with her 2 abil being called Energy Leech, and one of her augments is Vampire Leech Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, I suggested Fay (or Fae) and got really attached to the idea. It's an abbreviation for Faerie, and - just like Mag for Magnet - it's a beautiful name for a woman. With Oberon in the game, Titania is just so obvious. I wouldn't have a problem with it if Oberon wasn't already in. People have already come to expect some kind of relationship between the two, mechanically and/or visually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be okay with Fae, tbh and the whole "relationship thing" ehh just let role players role play. As long as they don't try to force it on me, idc I have however seen a thread on asking for "hug" emotes... lol Edited July 1, 2016 by Vesiga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roboplus Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 The abbreviation for Titania will be what? That's why I didn't want it. Literally would have taken anything else from the list. By the way, I've posted it before but here's the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firetempest Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Nova got the same hate when DC named her. And after awhile no one remembers the drama. That's just the way it is now and the way it will be again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairy Tail iz an soupier literature comparid to An Mudsimmer Nught'z Drim. I recommind you chuck Fairy Tail out and sea all da references to "Titania." Az fur Oberon, he iz an clare refirence to Sword Art Online, where an antagonist (Sugou Nobuyuki) takis tha name if "Oberon." I also recommind you chuck this out, it iz an exceptional.

That part I have to disagree with, I feel the first few syllables just don't flow well, especially compared to some of the other suggestions, like Aurai, Cyrene, or Edain. I don't like the feel the hard sounds of the T's provide when I try to apply the name to a fairy. Also, this is extremely nitpicky and entirely personal but the first three things the name conjures to mind for me is Titanium (element), Titanite (Dark Souls), Titans (Mythology), and only after that does it remind me of Shakespeare. It makes me think of strong, heavy things, which contrasts with the frame's theme. I'm not trying to convince anyone, the decision was already made, I just want my thoughts put out there.
