    Default Wait...what is this crap...

    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?

    I await a Kishi/Koshiatar reply, but I'd guess it's a mistranslation of some sort? It wouldn't be surprising.

    No, no, no...only on the ghost trian im talking about, there are two Siegfrieds but on the ghost train, he comes down to steal the treasure and it does "Siegfried: HA...", then next bubble "Zigfried: This..." and then with the last one, it really didnt make much sense

    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.

    There were 2 0f them. Remember, in the World of Ruin, when you meet one of them, he says that someone is pretending to be him and don't be fooled. Then again, I could be wrong

    Vaan - "Hey, you!"
    Penelo - "Yeah, you! The one reading this sig at this very moment!"
    Vaan - "Interested in playing FFXII International Zodiac Job system?"
    Ashe - "But you have no knowledge of the Japanese language?"
    Fran - "....We could help...."
    Balthier - "That's right, Fran! Just click on Crossblades' thread on the very bottom of this signature and it will show you all license grid translations, magicks and tecks locations, and other changes that were made!"
    Basch - "Don't forget though. Swap Magic is needed to play this game if you don't own a japanese PS2."
    Vaan - "Also remember that if you played the original, you'll have an easier time playing the international version. We hope you enjoy the International Zodiac Job System experience. See ya then!"

    Oh. I thought the ghosts were saying it. Wow that's odd. Maybe he couldn't choose who he wanted to be.. or something..

    You could bring it down to japanese humour. Showing how his name is hard to pronounce. Or maybe its showing how he being the imposter hasnt done his research
    Kefka's coming, look intimidating!
    Have a nice day!!
