Ok so on the ghost train i was playing it again and for the first time I was being REALLY observant and reading every single last word and i realized...Why the hell do they spell Siegfried's name differently 3 different times...I almost had a double take and did not believe what i saw...I think it was Sigfried, Siegfried and Zigfried
I didn't understand that either. Honestly, I thought that there were 2 Siegfried's mentioned in the game when I first played it.
Didn't you know?! Ghosts are illiterate, so since they never read the script they never knew how to spell it.
I'll pay attention next time though, did more than one ghost do it like that or just specific ones? :greenie:
I await a Kishi/Koshiatar reply, but I'd guess it's a mistranslation of some sort? It wouldn't be surprising.
Did you notice that he said "Go!! Guys!!"Quote:

Yes i did...this time Fieon, as you can see with my bold use of the caps, I was VERY observant ^^
The Siegfried in the colosseum stays that there's an imposter around. Seeing as colosseum Siegfried hits you obnoxiously hard with Hyperdrive and "Ziegfried" on the train just kind of smacks you with a wet noodle, it's safe to say which one's the fake. ;D
Probably the same one that cleared out all the monsters in the cave by South Figaro.Quote:

Yeah he's in the collesum (sp) in the weapon room thing. :)Quote:

I know that there are two Siegfrieds...I am only talking about one moment in the game while on the Phantom Train...his name changes WHILE you are talking to him
Oh. I thought the ghosts were saying it. Wow that's odd. Maybe he couldn't choose who he wanted to be.. or something..Quote:

Which version? I've never noticed.
Sup guys?
In the Japanese version, Siegfried's name is always Siegfried. You can chalk up the inconsistency in the SNES translation to an oversight on Woolsey's part. See also: Daryl and "Darill."
Are you actually suggesting that Squaresoft games have ever had translation that you'd call "less-than-perfect"? Proposterous.
True. It is also true that you meet him in the WOR and he tells you not to be fooled by the Sigfried wannabe that's going around.Quote:

I just think it's cute that you created this thread, Siegfried.
Thank you kindly
I'd chalk it up to bad translation, nothing more.
