    "Spoony" means something along the lines of being lovesick or sentimental to the point of being a bit of a moron, thus it was actually meant to be "You spoony bard".

    So if you've ever done something stupid out of love or sentiment, you were being spoony. Congragrations!

    "I oppose peace!!" -Some soldier before the dinner with the Emperor in FFVI.

    Not Engrish, I know, but it makes for a good t-shirt to wear around a college campus.

    So if 'you spoony bard' makes sense, then how is the Engrish involved?

    Tellah calls Gilbert a bastard in the Japanese version. Obviously they had to censor this back then, and thus a hilarious line that obtained cult status was born.

    Anyway, Final Fantasy IV: Ah, The Power of Cheese

    FFVII has some pretty ridiculous mistranslations/grammar mistakes/typographical errors too.

    Those are not engrish. Fawful is supposed to talk like that. He always did have a loose grip on reality, with lines like "Fink-rat" and "I have fury!" They are still funny though.

    I know they're intentional, but since they're pretty malformed sentences anyway I just let it go; I intentionally speak Engrish all the time, all too aware that it's wrong.

    When I put "This guy are sick." People kept correcting me

    My Speech teacher ran up to me and pointed and said, it should be That guy is sick or Those guys are sick. No one understood the joke any more than the blitzball one :kaocry2:

    My favorite favorite has got to be FFX "I wanna be a blitzball when I grow up!" i laughed and then wondered for a while whether if it was a mistake or not

    If I was like Cloud I don't think I would have taken that test.
    Changed to stop Jessweeee♪ from going insane. Is that better?

    Although it's not an RPG or even an FF, my favorites are from Zero Wing. Not that it's obvious or anything.
