What does SUV stand for?

[DemonCloak]

I've been playing forever and I missed the part where they told me what SUV stands for, so if you know, post it, and please don't make up your own guess.

Also, if anyone knows what these stand for:
GRD-DS
GRD-GS
MA-GRMS
GRD-AS
GRM

I know the GRD stands for guardian, but what is the stuff after the hyphen?

[DemonCloak]

You're such an ass.

[Umberger]

I don't know if it's even an acronym...in the story mode, Lou says "suv weapon" as opposed to the popular pronunciation for acronyms (s-u-v).

Shop/store are probably interchangable. I'm going by what it says on the signs in Parum text, for the most part, the exception being MA-GRMS, as it doesn't say anywhere...

[Weeaboolits]

GRM is General Resource Manufacturer

Oddly enough, I remember this EXACT topic months ago...

Not sure what it means, and not sure it really matters...

THE JACKEL

[Weeaboolits]

It was most likely said somewhere...

[Itsuki]

I bet it was supposed to be "Sub-weapon" (as in secondary-weapon) but was mistranslated somewhere in there. Kinda like in metroid. Where there was the "Bariaa" suit, which was supposed to be "Barrier" suit. But instead, it got translated to "Varia" somewhere down the line and just stuck.

[Weeaboolits]

Yeah, I di think Lou says sub-weapon in the cutscene too.

[DurakkenX]

nyah...Lou's misspeaking is caused by bad translation of whoever is in charge of FMVs. SUV was always supposed to be SUV as far as is known...

the shop titles and such are only known by looking around and reading them off walls. They are not told what they are any where else.

there was, it was a long time ago

[Cz]

its amazing what people will think of what SUV will stand for...>.>

[Turambar]

That particular version of SUV has had a long history now, and I in no way claim credit for its creation. XD

[JeffHikari]

Don't Casts in the JP version call out "SUV-Weapon" as they summon it? From what I heard, It was pronounced like "Sub-Weapon".

[Nuclearranger]

Chances are it doesnt even stand for somthing but maybe we will find out in AOI lol

[ShinMaruku]

As you can see they want the true meaning hidden...

[danny_o]

Satellite Uplink...what is a synonym for...warp...or...materialize that begins with a V?

Just because there is a character for "vu" doesn't mean they can actually pronounce it. B sounds are often used in place of V sounds, it is like the r/l thing.

[Mikaga]

BT Lovers lolol

[DurakkenX]

actually on the jp ver they something like

"sabudo weapon"

[Ravennittes]

BT Lovers has gotta be a butcher of VT Lovers (for ValenTines day Lovers like WD Lovers is White Day Lovers). and SUV is an acronym so i never wanna hear anyone say suv instead of S.U.V. .

until people learn to use the search function it'll be happening on this forum forever.

[gambit04]

Hey sometime that search funtion can be tricky...you know what I mean if you tried it

sometimes people have the title called "whats that cast thing" and then they talk about the suv in it.

But still worth a shot...
