Today on super niche hyperfixation things: thinking about what dialect FF7 characters would have in a hypothetical Norwegian dub.
I feel like Cid would 1000% have some kind of nord-norsk dialect. He swears a lot and he's from small ish town far from the big cities. Barret would probably have a similar dialect for a similar reason.
The Shinra executives would probably speak some flavour of østnorsk, or maybe pent bergensk (Scarlet gives bergensk vibes imo idk why though).
Turks... Reno being a bit rougher in his speech than others could maybe suit jærsk (also because my Japanese friends tell me his voice is difficult to understand because his consonants are very soft, and we all know how people feel about jærsk). Tseng would 1000% speak the most standard west Oslo dialect it's possible to have without just outright being riksmål. Rude, again I think he'd be østnorsk, but maybe something closer to a Frederikstad dialect. Elena, maybe just east Oslo.
Cloud and Tifa both being from Nibelheim... I'm feeling maybe some flavour or trøndersk, maybe? Obviously they're not country bumpkins in the English/Japanese dubs so it'd be quite a soft variety of trøndersk, still easy enough to understand (I say that like I ever find trøndersk easy to understand).
Cait Sith. Stavangersk. Because in the English dub he has a Scottish accent that's quite sing-song, and the Japanese VA is also quite musical (kansai-ben). And stavangersk is quite a musical dialect.
Red. Hm. Oslo as Red, but then Nanaki would probably bust out into like. Møre og Romsdal dialect of some description, idk
Vincent... I'm feeling a flavour of vestlandsk. Not strong vestlandsk. The same kinda vestlandsk as you get from Snusmumrikken in Mummidalen (but like, an octave lower of course). Close to bergensk. Not pent bergensk and not gatebergensk, just kinda inbetween I guess.
Yuffie's difficult. I feel like she'd also be nord-norsk of some kind? Because she's quite fun and chatty and lively, and nord-norsk tends to suit that. Perhaps nordlansk, whereas Barret and Cid would be more like Troms/Finnmark.
Sephiroth. Oof, tough. Another flavour of vestlandsk, maybe? Hm.
Obviously there are a lot of characters and I could go on but I'd be here all year and no one cares apart from me lmao (although if you do care and have any thoughts I'd be interested to know!) And these are just my impressions but I'm not a native Norwegian speaker so idk, could be wildly off 😅
