SatsumaFSoysoy Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Odin, the not!Owain Dark Mage gets +10 crit from his inherent skill when wielding a weapon that has 8 kanji for its name. While we could just be scrubs and randomly pick 8 kanji to get the buff, my seething blood moves me to make it cool instead. ...Except I can't really think of any good ones at the moment. Any ideas?

"I've Finally Made A Critical Hit!!" "Special Move: Blazing Sword of the Mage" "Odin's Beard" "The Poet Without Words" "Blood Boiling of Lost Control!" "The Beast That Make the Hand Hunger" "Lancelot Dances a Lot" "Grima's Dastardly Fist" "Insert Cool Name Here" Do any of these work? I don't understand Kanji or Japanese in general.

Leif Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 When FE14 gets localized, I'll rename his tomes after Greek and/or Roman gods. This will go with the whole Western theme of Nohr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Odinson Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 (edited) Do any of these work? I don't understand Kanji or Japanese in general. Just by looking at them they wont' likely guarantee 8 characters in kanji, and while Japanese isn't my language I guarantee you Chinese is a very concise language and saying shit like "fucking your eighteenth generation ancestors" only accounts for 7 characters In fact I am having trouble thinking of phrases that are 8 characters because all the Chinese poetry I know are either 5 or 7 and I myself am incredibly unpoetic so I'll have to do some research and I'm not sure if all of the shit I know in Chinese can even apply to Japanese since Kanji and Chinese have a significant intersection but Kanji only contains a portion of Chinese while having a bit of their own thing going on Edited June 13, 2015 by Thor Odinson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I'm determined, I'll find something that can hit 8 characters no matter how many names I have to through out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make your phrases longer and you might hit something that translate to 8 characters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor Odinson Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 (edited) if you know enough Chinese you can look through some 四言诗 for inspiration, since the lines are always in chunks of 2 4-character sections But I don't even feel my own Chinese skills good enough to translate some of those; I mean I'm good but this is super archaic AND poetry http://puu.sh/imSqt/78dc4a6c40.png but just for reference putting that through google translate in Japanese instead of Chinese gives you the Japanese Romaji necessary to input them; Not all lines will work like that, but that one did. http://www.wenyanhanyu.com/siyanshi/13757.html(for credit, this one is written my Wu Zetian in 696) Edited June 13, 2015 by Thor Odinson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

egobarrier Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 If the limit is 8 characters like in Awakening that means there's no room for any kana, and in turn basically no room for actual grammar. If that's the case I'm probably just going to string 4 words together that seem to fit thematically and call it a day. For example "古来魔族禁断暗闇" ("ancient demon forbidden darkness").

Thor Odinson Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 tbh if you go poetic 8 characters can express a lot just it's also really hard to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
