Phantasy Star Cave Message Board

I'm pretty sure you already noticed, but the spell names are spelled with more letters and sylables. Here are examples:<p> <b>Shift</b> became <b>ShiftA</b> <p>....I wasn't notified of this.....Nobody asked me if I agreed with it. :p It just happened. <b> Shift</b> became <b> Shifta</b>.<p> <b>Deban</b> became <b>DebanD</b> <br> <b>Tandle</b> became <b>Zonde</b> <br> <b>Wat</b> became <b>Barta</b> <br> <b>Foi</b> became <b>FoiE</b> <p>They're gettin goofy. They're gettin goofy fast. :p<p> <b>Dews</b> became <b>Atomizers</b> <br> <b>Res</b> became <b>ResTA</b> <br> <b>Rever</b> became <b>ReverSER</b> <br> <b>Ryuka</b> became <b>RyukER</b> <br> <b>Gelun</b> became <b>Jellen</b> <br> <b>Doran</b> became <b>Zalure</b> <br> <b>Na</b> became <b>Ra</b> <br>And <b>Cureparal</b> became <b>Antiparalysis</b> <p>I prefer PS4's names over PSO's. What about you guys?<p>[size=small][Edit by Prince Noah on [TIME]1087996146[/TIME]][/size]

yes , the new names don't suit the magic.<br>(I hate to see foi written with a "e": foie)<p>More over, megid doesn't worth the use and neither does grantz. <br>And what are those technique anyway? Whereas before megid was a harsh technique making a lot of damage it turned to be a negatis like technique which never works. Grantz also whereas before it was a hinas like technique (when mieu used it) now it a techique to fight... ?<p>Techniques became weird in PSO...

I don't know....

The names of the Techniques in PSO are actually much more accurate than PSIV's.<p>Also, Megid in PSO DOES do something. It's an instant-kill Technique. But it doesn't always work. It depends on the level of the Technique and the resistance to dark from the opponent.<br>You don't want to be the target of a huge LV 30 Megid Technique!<p>And I'll now quote a post from the PSDB that I saved some time ago.<br> <blockquote>Message:<p>It's confusing for those unfamiliar with Japanese if you don't try to put the katakana into more English looking words. <p>Deban is Deband (Debando) with a "do", not with a "to", by the way.<p>I hope you don't get mad at me for doing the following, Rune Lai! I just wanted to make it easier for people that can't pronounce Japanese!<p>Here's some of what was shown, only in more English-ized Japanese. As a side note, Foie is pronounced "foy" like boy with an "ehh" at the end (a short E sound.). Foy-ehh.<p>Wat - Barta (PSO didn't just make it up!)<br>Tsu - Grants (Grantsu makes more sense to see where the "tsu" came from but I'm trying to think of PSO)<br>Gra - Gravt (Gravit?) (seeing as it is a gravity attack, writing it Gravt instead of Grabt makes more sense to me, and B's take the place of V sounds in Japanese)<br>Megid is just Megid to me. It's written Megido, but you can't end words with a D in Japanese if you wanted to... and hey, they translated it as Megid.<br>On the same note as Gra, "Boruto" could just be "Volt". ^_^<p>Res - Resta<br>Sar - Saresta (This REALLY confused me in the Japanese game, because I thought it was the next form of Res til I finally used it!)<br>Shift - Shifta<br>Deban - Deband(o)<br>Saner - Shunera<p>Gi- and Na- are Gi- and Ra- in the Japanese version. Dunno where the Na- came from. o_O<p>Ryuka, Hinas, Arows, and Seals are really the same as in the English version. They just look funny when written in Japanese.<p>Rever - Reverser! I love it. Reversing their dying status. <p>Yeah that's all. Playing Japanese PSIV hurts my head, and my rom has a glitch in it during the Lassic fight, so I can't go any further. Dammit. </blockquote>

I know that, but I prefer PS4's names over PSO's.

I'll have to agree with Noah the old names do (to me) sound alot better i would gladlly take rever over reverser (hehe i remember when i first got the game and didn't know what the hell rever did untill i started experimenting)and i honostlly think tandle sounds alot better then zonde. along with the other tech's it may be shortened and translated but sounds alot better.

I always thought it was because of the limited amount of characters. Names would be shortened such as swd instead of sword, etc. etc. I guess I was wrong, well I'm mostly used to the PSO ones. Rever sounds weird compared to Reverser

Wow, Etra, you said everything I was just about to. You've read my mind!

For the record, the word "dew" means, basically, the same as "atomizer". The process of making dew is called atomization. <br>I like Grantz in PSO...it looks really cool! But Megid...eh...it's not as powerful as it was in <b>any</b> of the PS games. I suppose that it makes sense, though, because PSO is, after all, in another universe.

I know that, but DEW is ONE sylable. Atomizer is FOUR. :p <br>Dew....reminds me of Mountain Dew.

Eh...me and Siren still call them Dews when we play.<br>Mountain Dew...now I'm thirsty!

I like mountain dew, Citrus...Code Red...*drools*...

Is that so? <p><blockquote><i>Originally posted by Neo48</i><p>I like mountain dew, Citrus...Code Red...*drools*...<br></blockquote><p>Ewww....drools....:p But what names do YOU prefer?

Ahh yes. I guess it would have to be the PSO names. I was introduced first to PSO. Its like the Hildebear. I was first told it was pronounced Hide-el-bear, so I always have called it that. Hide-el-blue, Hide-elt, Hide-el-torr. Heh heh.
