bookofholsety Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 The ruling family of this area has produced master swordsmen for generations. It's no surprise as the Chalphys are all descended from Baldo, the God of Light. Jungby's ruling family of master archers are descended from Ulir, the God of Archery. yes, the Crusaders are seen as gods by some (as i understand it, Blagi is literally part of the pantheon of his own church) the main thing to keep in mind is that "god" doesn't necessarily mean "creator deity who predates everything else". as i understand it, ancient mythologies have plenty of references to gods being mortals, or mortals ascending to divinity; it stands to reason that this is how the Crusaders were interpreted, being that they were granted the powers of gods (dragons, but they're basically the same thing to the Jugdrali) and performed a miraculous feat in ending the Loptyr Empire (backed by what's basically the Jugdral equivalent of Satan) where nobody else could or something idk it's like 2:30AM and i'm half-tired so wordvomit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJWalker Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 I think (Sigh...) should be changed to (Sniff...) because, well look at that. She looks bored rather than upset. I always found that hilarious. Boyfriend is dead? Oh well, better find a new one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentASM Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 (edited) It could be a longing or sad sigh, but I think I get your point. I seem to recall we had a couple of sighs like that in the FE12 patch : P "Sigh... the emperor's gone crazy and is killing innocent people..."

RJWalker Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 (edited) Her smiling portrait doesn't help at all. Obviosuly, we can't do anything about that. It's a little nitpicking but then again, it's simple change too. Edited May 19, 2013 by Ranger Jack Walker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJWalker Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Should Andorey be changed to Andrei? The meaning of the name would be ironic considering Andorey's bishonen looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's one of the ones I thought was 'official' which really isn't. We can undo Andorey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simmeh Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 (edited) I finally broke down and started a file with your patch. But before I get too far, here are my thoughts on your discussion points: Draco/Wyvern or is this all set I honestly don't care which one you use. I've never been a stickler for this. As I've said in the past, I'm more interested in the dichotomy between these guys and the Pegasus Knights than what you actually call them. bastard/dastard? The words aren't interchangeable, so there really shouldn't be a discussion. If the translation is a pejorative insult or in reference to a child born out of wedlock, use bastard. If the translation refers to a backstabbing villain, use dastard, Julius death QuOtE!1 I'd say either all caps or normal. The alternating letters are weird. What to do about Tailto, other unliked names? I'd use the mythological reference for her in particular, though I don't really feel that strongly about it. I'll keep a list of names I think are fishy as I play, though I've already spotted one: Vylon. Is 'Byron' a legitimate translation? EDIT: Andorey -> Andrei is something I can get behind. The bros have a text wrapping error. (Joha*)->Verify my fix Might be a while until I get to this one. Loptyr Sect -> Loptyrian? I prefer the former for purely subjective reasons. HiPriest -> Bishop I'm fine with that change, but I'd consider changing the NPC Bishop into something else Langobalt -> Langbart->Had to revert, too many letters I prefer Langbart anyhow. Blade/sword/brand I'm guessing this refers to the magic swords? I like Fire Brand/Thunder Sword/Wind Blade myself, but that's purely subjective and might be taking too many liberties. Plus, as I understand it, you don't have enough room to add the extra word anyhow. Ch 5 convo reptor "what are" Yet to see this Missing translations - welcomeback, ending, intro Graphics replacement?->holy blood, title, et cetera riot gharnef pls Edited May 20, 2013 by simmeh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tetragrammaton Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Why Jugdral? Why not Yggdrasil? I thought it's from Nordic mythology, isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJWalker Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Because Awakening uses Jugdral. Simple as that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookofholsety Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 (edited) beyond that, for what it's worth, the katakana for Jugdral (ユグドラル yugudoraru) actually differs quite substantially from the standard Japanese rendering of Yggdrasil (ユグドラシル yugudorashiru), which indicates deliberate variation in the name while still clearly referencing Yggdrasil FE4, and indeed the entire rest of the FE series, is full of this sort of thing in both the English and Japanese versions, which honestly makes DEFAULT TO EXACT MYTHOLOGICAL ORIGINS often a questionable at best approach where contemplating names in fan translations and similar pursuits; Belhalla is another example which leaps to mind (compare バーハラ bāhara to ヴァルハラ varuhara) Edited May 21, 2013 by bookofholsety Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simmeh Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 (edited) I finished the Prologue. Minor nitpicks: Two things here: 1) 'Chalphys' bugs the hell out of me. I think it should be 'Chalphies', like how you pluralize other English nouns that end in '-y' (puppy -> puppies, variety -> varieties, etc.) 2) Maybe I missed the discussion, but shouldn't 'Baldo' be 'Baldur'? This one has 'Chalphys' as well. Edited May 21, 2013 by simmeh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvercrow Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 "Chalphys" is correct. See: Kennedys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bottlegnomes Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Is Vylon the confirmed translation? I honestly can't remember. If it isn't, I'd personally like Byron because then he'd be Lord Byron, like the poet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

js394 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Sorry for the little nitpick, but are you eventually going to change the font? I don't think FE7's font goes good with this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zak Something Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 if by "confirmed translation" you mean NoJ name, then yes, Japanese material calls him Vylon Lul he's named after a gimmicky archetype. http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Vylon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJWalker Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 One thing's that's always confused me is 'King' Eltoshan/Eldigan. Shouldn't 'Duke' or 'Lord' be used since the various 'kings' of Agustria don't actually act like kings and act more like Dukes.And I believe that they are referred to as both King as well as Lord at different points.

RJWalker Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 When you change 'Lopt' to whatever you're changing it too, take note of this one: Sectarian might be grammatically correct so if it is, then nevermind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jave Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Didn't take a screenshot, but the dialogue is all messed up if Seliph attacks Hilda in Chapter 10. I recall the previous patch (not Gharnef's 1.0 atch, but the one he's using as base) also glitched here, with a random villager sprite showing and text from a previous chapter will display. What happens now is similar, but with Young Oifaye instead of random villager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gharnef Posted May 24, 2013 Author Share Posted May 24, 2013 Thanks for all testing, I added a few of your comments to the TODO section of the first post. I'm currently mainly (slowly) working on graphics hacking stuff.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
