Is Lutz... Noah?

[Lord Khyron]

I can't wait for Xenogears Episode 3 and 4...<p>Episode 3 deals with the Zeboim Civilization 500 years prior to xenogears..<p>and Episode 4 will take place during the Shevat/Solaris wars..<p>I can't wait to see the first incarnation of GRAHF!<p>I wanna see how he blew up the world.

I think Alis is right in this erspect: they should have checked to make sure they didn't screw up an important name like they did with the whole Noah/Lutz fiasco. <p>Why don't they translate games verbatim? That way, no confusion, no "different continuities" (narrative or otherwise), and no differences in gameplay.

Yeah...I just realized how that might be an issue. But they should not chop out massive chunks of stuff like they did from Jap. PS to Eng. PS.

Hey..<p>Even words in japanese can have multiple meanings.<p>Seramikku doru could mean "Porcelin Doll" or "Glass Doll" or "Glass Puppet" "Doll Puppet"<p>Even subtitlers in anime can get the wrong meaning.<p>It isn't a exact science, just as Capowski. <p>Translators add their own ideas.<p>Ever hear of the PSgaiden english translation? The group there changed a MAJOR PLOT point in the whole game.<p>SO if they can do it, and the idiots love them for the translation, why can't the PS translators do the same?<p>Double standards is nice.

if that was the only translation availabe maybe they were just grateful for its existence... a sad state of affairs
