Topazd Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 (edited) How it's a play on カイン and アベル, it also kind of works in English but not nearly as well. Ninja Hatt :( Edited March 1, 2016 by Topazd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topazd Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 (edited) You swap ka with ke and be with ba, it works great as a play on their names whilst Abel -> Alva/Alba doesn't really have the same kind of effect. Well shit, it does. I need to sleep sometime. Edited March 1, 2016 by Topazd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Masayoshi Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 i'd say Ryoma is more like Sun Quan i know that, but for the analogy, that's where he'd fit unless birthright protag is liu bei Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starman Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 the jaypen writing is odd i know that, but for the analogy, that's where he'd fit unless birthright protag is liu bei yeah, birthright corrin is more liu bei that corrin is more naive but really benevolent to anyone regardless and stays true to optimistic ideals like trusting Zola, or refusing to kill their siblings in the hope that getting rid of the real problem (Garon and his cronies Iago and Hans) would hopefully bring the war to a close without more bloodshed but i wouldn't say benevolent since corrin saw hans and was like"I remember what that shit did to Gunter.. i want my revenge" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julius Nepos Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Yeah, that was just a huge derp on my part. I'd still say it works better in Japanese though. Maybe it's just me, but I think the similarities are more noticeable in the Japanese characters than in the English letters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topazd Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Yeah, it's definitely more snappy with katakana, but the effect is still there with Abel->Alba even if the relation isn't as prominent in the pronunciation. All this makes me feel bad about my procrastination on FE5. It's only that game and FE2 and I'll have completed every FE and can finally move onto finishing TRS, but with FE5 I'll have to make a choice between an English script that kind of screws up the UI or the Japanese version where I can't really make anything out of the script but can work with the UI.

Agreed. You and I are on the same quest, it seems. I'm playing FE5 in Japanese, but I already made that decision before hearing about how buggy the translation patch (apparently) is, because I'm learning Japanese and I thought this would be a fun way to immerse myself in the language. If you're worried about bugs or screwed up UI, I'd say play the Japanese version. You can look up most of the script on SF anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
