Florete Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I like how people regard name changes between the American and European versions as idiotic but are fine with all the changes between the JAP and American versions Me too. You can never truly get an exact translation from another language, so any names we may have translated ourselves doesn't mean that's what they really should be. Also, from America to Europe (certain parts anyway), there IS NO language translation, so changing anything is pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGV Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I don't.

L'Arachel is the perfect example of this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 L'Arachel is the perfect example of this Precisely, I think. Why didn't they just go with Rachel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan's Aokage Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Did they fix the "Muarim is Ike's sister" thing in the European version? Not sure. If it's in the glossary, I'll check it later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentASM Posted April 7, 2008 Author Share Posted April 7, 2008 Precisely, I think. Why didn't they just go with Rachel? It was never Rachel. It was Larchel. There's a difference >___ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 It was never Rachel. It was Larchel.There's a difference >___< I know, but for us Americans and Europeans they make more drastic changes than Larchel-Rachel. It just would have been easier is all.

CGV Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Larchel? That's a weird name wait, what the hell am I thinking... FE is full of odd names... anyone know anybody named "Hawkeye"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Klingy Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 I'm currently on 2-F and I'll post some of the changes I've found. -The 'More Merchants' conversation never mentions anything about your first forged weapon being 'free of charge' (they still mention scrap metal though and the conversation is still 3 star.) -Muarim's description IS fixed. -I'm playing Normal, and I can't access skills during part 2, when you say that happes in hard mode, do you mean Japanese Hard Mode? Something interesting I thought I'd mention, the class description for Black Knight says he was 'one of Deain's four horsemen'. 'Horsemen' is probably a mistranslation of 'Riders'. Also, I've found another naming inconsistency: 'Old Speech' and 'Modern Speech' should be 'Ancient Tounge' and 'Modern Tounge'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan's Aokage Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 On my version, it just says "Old/New Tounge". *shrugs* Also, the text glitch on Rebirth (2) remains. Micaiah apparentely feels nothing over Zelgius' death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Klingy Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 More info, they've fixed the spelling of the dragon king's name in the Australian version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan's Aokage Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Ah, yes. It's been fixed in the European version as well. Didn't check before, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan's Aokage Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 "A tiger clan laguz and second-in-command of the Laguz Emancipation Army. He is also something of a father figure to Tormod. He was once a slave of the senate." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am outraged that the European translators fixed the problems but changed some names that were perfectly fine! They change Sentinel to Lancer, but Impale's description still reads Sentinel?! How could they get away with that!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florete Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Before that was discovered, I actually speculated that Lancer would have been a good title for them....Maybe it is just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Before that was discovered, I actually speculated that Lancer would have been a good title for them....Maybe it is just me. i also thought that lancer was going to be the character class. never would have thought of sentinel myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
