Well apparently the team is having a hard time with the english language >_>. I was hoping they would actually spend a little bit more time/money on the translation of the text.

It sort of worries me, but I love poorly translated games than anything http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif mostly why I am trying to get around to playing the original PS games.

So I was wondering if this worries anyone at all? Or can our official beta tester give some info on this if he hasn't already.

Where's the typo? The bit that says "great pride in masculinity," cause that's a pretty glaring error right there.

They are getting paid to do this right? Also just by the nature of these "typos" you can tell it's a translation error.

Turning "a" into "and" and omitting "who" while there are no other mistakes... come on now be reasonable.

This is coming from a company that for, what, 4 years had "EVERY HUNTERS OF PSO" in the ending sequence? In essence, what do you expect. At least the English translations are mostly decent. Try the German, French, or Spanish versions for true raping of languages.

Frankly it wouldn't be a Sega game without strange and seemingly random text from mangled translations.

EDIT: At least Sega never misspelled their name on the title screen unlike some other companies.

Anyone notice lately that people are being jerks around these boards lately? Sort of why I don't post as much anymore http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif Thank you for contributing to the senseless nonsence that has become the PSO-world forums.

Anyway I am not getting payed to type these messages am I? However those people have a job to do and obviously they can't do it, and thank god they can't because now I can love PSU even more for it's flaws.

Also you don't need to get so uptight, I didn't mean to offend anyone so don't be so harsh, alright?

So BACK ON TOPIC I don't think this will affect the game much but if it gets worse it could be more than a little annoying, like how in PSO some errors caused the story to become confusing. What do you all think?

(example, anyone notice that Dr. Montague helped in creating the newman species even though he himself is newman?)

It's just like Nintendo Wii kids and PS3 kids who argue about anything. Think of it as a form of a gaming sexual frustration leading up to PSU's release. People will settle down once they've played the game.

I was just pointing out that with the number of stuff in this game, you're gunna run across a little mistake here in there.

Yes, god forbid we even stray from a rather-pointless topic as is for even one second, because then we would be having a version of fun, which is totally unlawful. From now on we have to talk about figures and numbers such as how many Dark Falz runs you have to do before getting *rare item here* and stick to it like glue. Otherwise we'll be classifed into the "jackassery" section.

If straying from the topic every now and again to talk about other games or people doing similar things is wrong..well I don't want to be right.

This is exactly the random trivial crap I am talking about, this is a PSU section. We discuss PSU, its flaws and its good sides but if you want to post meaningless crap go do it in FKL, that is why it's there afterall.

oh and to dizzy no problem http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif I didn't mean you specifically either. I have just noticed an increase in overall forum "jackassery". Myself included of course http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif



Yes, god forbid we even stray from a rather-pointless topic as is for even one second, because then we would be having a version of fun, which is totally unlawful. From now on we have to talk about figures and numbers such as how many Dark Falz runs you have to do before getting *rare item here* and stick to it like glue. Otherwise we'll be classifed into the "jackassery" section.

If straying from the topic every now and again to talk about other games or people doing similar things is wrong..well I don't want to be right.

I have no problem with being off topic but if you look back there are a good 5 pages ALL of which are completely off topic and pointless. 5 pages is beyond a "little" off topic. Also I don't mean that if your off topic your a jackass I just mean that there has been a lot more flaming in general.

People are actually surprised by translation errors and localization changes in a Phantasy Star game?

LOL (http://www.camineet.net/camineet/theories/twophantasystars.asp)
Looking at the page that link goes to, as well as the other page where it is detailed exactly how and why there are seperate continuities for the English and Japanese Phantasy Stars, all I have to say is... overanalyze much?

Most of what is pointed out as "deliberate" changes can be attributed to simple errors and attempts by the localizers to appeal more to western culture, especially with the names of characters and items. As far as the dates the games take place... I'd have to say the Japanese dates are correct, and the ones that are "deduced" for the English side are attributable merely to errors both in translation and from localizers who simply didn't know enough about the story.

Off-topic, yes, but then I get enough kicks from linguistical errors from www.engrish.com, and certain members really just need to take their "fun" (read: stupidity) to FKL.

On-topic... as long as it's only one or two instances, it's no big deal with the errors. But if more than a few start popping up, I'd definitely have to say Sega needs to find a new localizing team.

Edited for a slight englishical error.

(I can just see the person sitting around translating PSIV... "Hmm, hane. That can mean shuttlecock, feather, wing, plumage... Let's see, they're talking about the giant winged cat, which one would be most appropriate... Oh! Clearly shuttlecock, because every time that word comes up in translations that meaning must be invariably used no matter what the context!" God, that's like, my biggest translation bugaboo.)

LOL me too. I guess I've gotten to used to Engrish to even really notice what is really a small grammatical error compared to most engrish mistakes I've seen.

I personally see nothing wrong with mistranslations. I mean, I've seen far (and I do mean far) worse mistranslations ("Legend of Heroes: A Tear of Vermillion" for PSP anyone?). If I can understand what was meant to be said, I'm not concerned in the slightest what the text is.
