Trivia

• The Rune Factory 5 Localization Blog #1 provides some insight on the localization of Gideon's name:
  "His original name is Gandage (Gandoaaju, ガンドアージュ). We were quite reluctant to change his name, but a majority of the other character names have clear 1:1 localizations that sound familiar to an English-speaking audience. We also worried about whether we could localize it in a way that would make the pronunciation clear at a glance. During our character naming meeting, we chose to localize his name as “Gideon” for clarity’s sake."
• Each Japanese voice actor has provided commentary on their characters and on Rune Factory 5 as a whole. The following is the English translation of Daisuke Ono's commentary:

  Hello all. This is Daisuke Ono, the voice of Gideon. We just finished up recording, so I'll give you my thoughts on him. He's certainly the kind of person who has enough charisma to lead a whole organization. Back when I was younger...I rarely had the chance to play roles like this Now I'm 41 years old. But I'm pleased that they entrusted me with the important role of a leader like Gideon. It's truly been an honor. I think we're actually pretty close in age! Without going into too much detail... Let's just say that I'm feeling pretty confident. I think my performance proved worthy of a character like Gideon. This role came at just the right time, and I had a great acting experience. And just so you know... Gideon has his own brand of justice, too. I hope you all fall in love with him. And with that, this has been Daisuke Ono.
