Phantasy Star Cave Message Board

I was looking through the PSO part of the site and I have a question for you all knowing people <p>What happend to all the spell names like "Foi, Gi Foi, Tsu, etc"? the spell sounds as if they took em out of Final Fantasy or any other generic RPG out there... What gives? the don't even sound PSish at all...<p>Same goes with weapons, armors, shield, etc.. <p>I guess thats one more reason to think of these 2 online games as not part of the series..<p>Daren

Technically...its not really supposed to be part of the series.<p>The "Tech" name changes is something that I'm not sure for changing either..but Foi = Foie, not like the change was huge.<p>And I'm not sure how armor and weapons should sound.....Nei's Claw anyone?

The names of the Techniques got a more accurate translation. Let me look up the PSDB post explaining that...<p>Ah, finally found it!<br>I wish something like Irfanview existed for web pages...<p>Rune Lai posted it, here is the post:<p><i>English names first, Japanese written in strict romanji second. These are only the PSIV techs. I never bothered to romanize the names from PSII and PSIII though I suppose if there's enough interest I could do that some time.<p>Attack Techniques<p>Foi-Foie<br>Wat-Baata (written as Wata in romanji in PS Compendium)<br>Tsu-Gurantsu<br>Zan-Zan (not much change here)<br>Gra-Gurabuto<br>Megid-Megido<br>Brose-Purosedan<br>Vol-Boruto (it looks like the romanization should be Bolt O_o)<p>Support Techs<p>Shift-Shifuta<br>Ner-Shunera<br>Deban-Debanto<br>Gelun-Jerun<br>Doran-Doranku<br>Seals-Shiirisu<br>Rimit-Rimita<p>Healing Techs<p>Res-Resuta<br>Sar-Saresuta<br>Anti-Anti<br>Rimpa-Rimupasu<br>Arows-Arouzu<br>Rever-Ribaasaa<br>Regen-Rijenesu<p>Misc Techs<p>Ryuka-Ryuukaa<br>Hinas-Hiinasu<p>And those are all the techs!</i>

Whoa, that's sweet! I've been wondering if anyone had ever romanized those names! A lot of things make more sense now. <p>"Rune Lai is the coolest!"

Oh man.. sometimes I feel stupid.. maybe it's the name or something... Guy I didn't see the "Tech" page, I saw the "Elements" page (@) <p>Now please.. don't laugh all at once :p

Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha.<p>See... I didn't laugh at once.<p>I laughed broken up!<p>I apologise.<p>Still, few people seem to remember that PSI had spells called FIRE and WIND.

<blockquote>Still, few people seem to remember that PSI had spells called FIRE and WIND[/quote]<br>And, if I'm not mistaken, they could be romanized from Japanese in the JP version to "fureeri" (Flaeli) and "hyuun" (Hewn), respectively, as seen in PS IV. (And then "tandore" was Thunder, and then "Tandle" in PS IV.) <img src='http://img125.exs.cx/img125/3456/iconsmile8oq.gif'>

Not to mention that those spell were also in PSG.

Too true.<p>Well, as true as it can be, which is either wholly or not at all.

I agree.<br>
