Title: Difference between Japanese and English versions.


Silver Chaos Adept - April 12, 2004 03:30 PM (GMT)
I was reading a site about GS that was quite old, and there are a quite a few difference, for example the names


Isaac- Robin/Robyn

Garet- Gerald

Mia- Mary

Jenna- Jasmine


(Ivan's name is the same)

Also I noticed that they used the term 'Energists' instead of 'Adepts', 'Energy' being the more direct translation instead of 'Psyenergy'. I wonder why they changed it?

Hmmm. Dunno. The site you were on was probably made before the game was translated. The site probably had a guy who could translate Japanese to English, and they used the direct and exact translations of stuff. That's most likely it.

Silver Chaos Adept - April 14, 2004 07:41 PM (GMT)
Yeah. 'Energist' is cool though. Some of the Psyenergy name were different too. I think 'Reveal' was 'Imagine'.

Mr. Faygoluver - April 17, 2004 01:57 PM (GMT)
but if Imagine was it then it wouldn't make sense, cuz revial is TRUE sight, not what u can just make up.

i once saw a picture from the japanese version that showed the part at the beginning where jenna is walking and sees isaac working on the house...only the pic showed mia instead! i also saw a picture of isaac using reveal to show a djinni at the area outside goma cave! i tried forever to find it until i realized that it was probably onlty there in the japanese one.
kinda wierd....

God of the Black Flame: Canti - April 19, 2004 12:15 AM (GMT)
Most likely someone modified those pictures.

windseer1986 - April 23, 2004 05:47 PM (GMT)

God of the Black Flame: Canti - April 23, 2004 10:19 PM (GMT)

hi


God of the Black Flame: Canti - April 24, 2004 12:49 AM (GMT)
Hi guest. Do you have a name?

craft user - April 24, 2004 05:29 AM (GMT)
uuuu where!! :unsure: my head hurts :blink: uuuuuuUUUuuu *faint* ..... ... .... ........ ... ...... . .

God of the Black Flame: Canti - April 24, 2004 03:44 PM (GMT)
Ooookaaay. :huh:

Marlin ßeta - May 12, 2004 04:14 PM (GMT)
What else? Felix was Garcia. Piers was Picard. Saturos was spelled Satyros. I think that's about it. Everyone else was the same. I think.

Silver Chaos Adept - May 12, 2004 06:09 PM (GMT)
Picard is a MUCH cooler name then Piers. Picard to me means the punk I though up when I first saw him. Piers is his in-game personality.

God of the Black Flame: Canti - May 13, 2004 12:03 AM (GMT)
Well, yeah, Picard is his directly translated Japanese name.

Felix231 - May 29, 2004 09:38 PM (GMT)
oh

Silver Chaos Adept - June 1, 2004 06:56 PM (GMT)
I want my punky Picard back! *cries*

God of the Black Flame: Canti - June 1, 2004 10:04 PM (GMT)
Yeah. What kind of name is "Piers" anyway? -_-

Silver Chaos Adept - June 2, 2004 10:29 AM (GMT)
A really sad name. -_-

the_isaac - June 2, 2004 06:30 PM (GMT)
I like it.

God of the Black Flame: Canti - June 3, 2004 08:34 PM (GMT)
I kinda don't. I'm just used to it? -_-

Silver Chaos Adept - June 5, 2004 12:51 PM (GMT)
I guess I just associate the name 'Piers' with his in-game personality.....

Kaede - June 11, 2004 09:49 PM (GMT)
i like piers better. because picard reminds me off jean-luc picard which is a dude off a program i watched when i was little.

God of the Black Flame: Canti - June 12, 2004 08:02 AM (GMT)
Why does that name actually sound familiar to me? :huh:

Kaede - June 13, 2004 09:00 PM (GMT)
-_- star trek. the shame!!!!!!!!

God of the Black Flame: Canti - June 14, 2004 01:08 AM (GMT)
I've never seen Star Trek though. Why have I heard that name then? :blink:

Kaede - June 14, 2004 11:51 AM (GMT)
-_- that makes me feel no better... i think it wsa very shameful. but i was young, so that is my excuse.

God of the Black Flame: Canti - June 14, 2004 08:36 PM (GMT)
It's probably from all the shows where they make fun of or involve Star Trek. Like that one episode of Futurama! :D

Kaede - June 15, 2004 11:50 AM (GMT)
true.
i wish i knew people that liked anime and cartoons. my little cousins idea of evil is captin hook. but then she did sugest hammering nails in someone than sticking a pitchfork through them... shes 7. i think.

Silver Chaos Adept - June 15, 2004 06:06 PM (GMT)
:blink: Nice kid.....

God of the Black Flame: Canti - June 15, 2004 09:43 PM (GMT)
Dude! That's sick!

I like anime and cartoons.

the_isaac - June 15, 2004 10:25 PM (GMT)
yeha uh.. that's just weird.

Metal: Tell me when she does it

Granite: *kick metal, far far away*

Kaede - June 16, 2004 12:05 PM (GMT)

Hawk - July 28, 2004 10:08 AM (GMT)

Well, a "pier" is a kind of long fishing/port dock. So, if you look at it that way, you get a water translation of the name. B)
