Well well, mister fancy-pants, I hope you're wearing your matching sweater today, or you'll be cut down like the ugly tree you are.

Translation errors or idiosyncrasies like that abound in some of the less trafficked parts of the game and range from banal to hilarious to dangerous and problematic (like that ranking screen one). Here are a few from the demo screens that play if you don't press start:


To be fair to the translators I don't think either of these are actually their fault. Japanese FEs love using English in their demo screens because Intelligent Systems is just weird like that, and I don't think either of these have actually been changed from the original, as evidenced by one of them still having Japanese characters in it. I do know for a fact that Cavaliers have always been called Social Knights in Japan since FE1. Not as in the name translates to "social knight", but as in the Japanese actually sounds out to "social knight".

Anyway, nitpicking aside, I really liked your FE7 LP and I'm glad to see you're continuing on with this one. I'll be following this.

Newb question: what does this mean?
It means you didn't give your thread a tag (the image you see to the left of the title in the thread list). If you don't pick one it becomes "poo poo post", and you can't edit the tag once the thread is posted. Fedule is a moderator and changed it to "strategy" for you because he's nice like that.

It's their fault for not translating it



The new translation patch shows that off. The old translations being poor hack jobs never ceases to piss me off.
I mean, yeah, but the class demo screen is probably way, way down on the priority list for things to translate. It's not surprising that early patches didn't care about it.

I'm just gonna take a guess and assume his issue with that was less the social knight thing, and more the usuable of the weapon thing along with it showing bows while the dude clearly has a lance.
The pictures are of separate things; the Japanese in the bow picture says "archer".
