Phantasy Star IV: Ancient War, Part 2

Postby Thoul » Mon Sep 15, '08, 8:16 am

Le Roof's narration of the ancient war between two spiritual beings continues here. Now the guardian of the Silence Temple reveals that they are called the Great Light and the Profound Darkness. The Light banished the Darkness to another dimension, placing a seal on the portal - a seal known as the Algo system. The heroes here are the Protectors, distributed among the native tribes of Algo by the Light to fight the darkness should it return. It always annoyed me that Le Roof mentions only "Parmanians, Motavians, and Dezolisians." What about Wren, Demi, and Myau, huh?

I still maintain it's "Palmans, Motavians, and Dezolians." "Palm/Mota/Dezo people" was just... utterly lazy translation, and PSIV's "Parmanians/Dezolisians" is too awkward.

Maybe they didn't decide to add the androids because they have no souls.. Which I find kinda stupid because Demi seems to be more human-like then more androids I've seen *looks at Dorothy from Big O* And Myau, maybe the Great Light and its guardians are speciests towards cats.

I could sort of understand androids, since they were around at the beginning, but Le Roof could have still mentioned them. Especially given that he was talking to one! Excluding poor Myau was just plain mean, though.

I still maintain it's "Palmans, Motavians, and Dezolians." "Palm/Mota/Dezo people" was just... utterly lazy translation, and PSIV's "Parmanians/Dezolisians" is too awkward.


Yeah, normally I would go for the Palmans, etc, forms too. This time I was quoting the game though so it was the full versions. Even when I played the game the first time, I thought Parmanians was too much of a mouthful.
