Me = LvL 10 WooT Pheonix Down! Huzzah!

Yay! I made it to level 10. I have absolutely no idea how! I just skyrocketed right on up this week.

On the big news of things happening. (Yea, I know, I'm typing funny.) I finally bought Disgaea for my PSP. Found it on Amazon. At least five weeks till it gets here. Two or three till it ships and one or two for it to ship. Bummer.

Oh, the irony too. I stopped in on my way home to the local EB Games. This is after I had purchased it online. Guess what? They had a friggin copy right there on the shelf Used.

I'd been stopping in that store for five months at least once a week to check their shelves for three games. 1. Final Fantasy I. 2. Tales of the World. 3. DISGAEA. Five months it took them to get a copy in. And it was released, what? Six months ago? And the very day they finally have a copy, I'd already ordered it online.

So~ I picked up a copy of The Legend of Heroes II. Which is why I've been writing this a little funny. Its localization, its translation, is HORRENDOUS!! It honestly pains me to read the dialog. I had the minor hope it might have just been an accent thing, but then I entered battle...

LIGHT Flower is a special attack. You know what it is? A localized ice storm that creates an ICE Flower that shatters on the opponent.

The Post Battle screen... Where it should say something like "Recieved coin" or "Got # coins" it says... "GET #" Get 2314. Get. You get 2343 coins. Might have been alright. But GET #??

That was just the epidemy of it all. The translation errors extend to dialog, menus, and pretty much every aspect of the game.

I could forgive a Game Boy generation game for having incomplete sentences and chopping out words to make it fit. But when you've got space for four lines of text, practially four full sentences and you only have one line... there is absolutely no excuse.

It is so terrible that if I had kids, I wouldn't let them play it for fear they would learn to speak or read English incorrectly.
