Sooks Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 I think an armor knight called Joe sounds hilarious, personally. 2 minutes ago, Saint Rubenio said: Yeah, stupid non-American countries and their egocentrism. They should all learn to be as humble as America, God bless it. But it’s communism to want everything to be the same! Obviously the names need to be different, how else would we know that American Fire Emblem is the true Fire Emblem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acacia Sgt Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Astrid is also Stella in Japan. ... Maybe they did reverted some names back to their Japanese counterparts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On that note, I always love when things have German words in them. Particularly when it's just perfectly mundane stuff for something very fancy. Take FE4, for instance: "Rotenritter" just means "red knight(s)", and it's not even grammatically correct. It should be "Rotritter" instead, if it's one word, "Rote Ritter" if it's two, or "Die roten Ritter" when it refers to a specific group of red knights, where 'rot' is the adjective. The singular form would be "Roter Ritter", or "Der rote Ritter", when 'rot' is used as an adjective. Same for all the other "colored knights", actually. But the worst offender is easily "Lanzenritter". That just means "lance knight(s)". Every godsdamned mounted knight in Jugdral uses a lance!. So having "Lance Knights" be the name some kind of elite force is hilariously silly. Also, the German word for 'knight', 'Ritter' comes from Middle High German 'riter', which is the same thing as a 'rider'. Just some trivia for you!

Oh yeah Honestly the amount of times my brother and i have to laugh/sigh/facepalm at broken german in japanese works is way too high. To non germans it might sound cool, but... XD That reminds me when jp. works use words with St (like Stein) and then english speaking peeps pronounce it...

Since you have Berhara's White Knights, Jungby's Yellow Knights, Velthomer's Red Knights, Dozel's Gray Knights, Chalphy's Green Knights... Edda is the only place in Grannvale without them. Not all. Bow Knights use only bows, Great Knights only Axes, Forrest Knights only Swords. So yes, they have to specify this is a division of the Lance-only Duke Knights.

I think the weirdest part to me is how they didn't just use Japanese/English as names for these squads in these respective languages of the game. Why do they have to be German? Wrong German, at that?

That's unfortunate. But the 'dignified' part is a matter of perspective, because to a German, there is nothing dignified about the name "Ernst", for example. And the example I brought up above is just plain stupid to me, because just calling them "red/green/whatever" knights would have completely sufficed. At that point, it's just being fancy for the sake of it, and that stuff is no good. It's like throwing an apostrophe everywhere in a vain attempt to make a name sound more exotic than it is. 12 minutes ago, Armagon said: I've always felt like German has been Japanese media's go-to language when it comes to foreign names.

Acacia Sgt Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Plenty of German in SRW too. Alteisen, Weissritter, the Einst. Just the Einst. Einst Knochen, Einst Glied, Einst Gemmuet, Einst Regisseur, etc. Although, for the Balmarians they went with Hebrew instead. Things got "fun" in SRW OG, when you have something like Alteisen beating up a Megillot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
