PSIV Strategy Guide: Can someone check/scan this?

Postby PSP » Mon Sep 28, '09, 11:54 pm

I was told, quite a few times, that the PSIV Strategy Guide released in the US had a segment where one of the members of the translating team owned up to the whole Noah/Lutz fiasco and stated it was just a mistake. Can someone verify this is the case and, if so, scan the pertinent section(s)? Thanks!

Now that sounds interesting! I wish I had to guide to check. I've never been able to find it for a reasonable price, sadly.

Unless there is more than one version, I have the Strategy Guide at home. I don't recall reading that but I imagine it's in there somewhere. I'll have a look see when I get home and post my findings

Well I looked at my Official Strategy Guide [it has the box cover art on the front page of the guide] and the only thing I saw remotely related to what you're looking for is this : The writer(s) mention that the reason that Noah and Lutz are referenced as the same person was either due to 2000 years of Algo translation or the fact that the game originated in Japan and then translated for America[paraphrasing this of course]. I'm not sure if this supports your theory and I'm uncertain if there were any other guides out there but this is as close as I could find
