    Smile What mistranslations do you know of in the game?

    Let's try and find some cool mistranslations!

    BARRET:
    "If you push the directional button while holding the Cancel button to run." - ...then what'll happen?

    CLOUD:
    "Barret, be careful! Attack while it's tail's up!
    It's gonna counter-attack with its laser!"
    - Yeah, attack so that you get hurt!

    AERIS:
    "This guy are sick." - He are sick, I is scared. :rolleyes2

    Tifa:
    "Aww, you want some Samolen Greens?" - It was supoosed to mean "Mimett Greens", right?

    Battle Arena:
    "Do you want to continue?"

    Off course! No, way!
    - What is off course? No, which way then?

    Nothing, it was a part of the "off course/no, way!" line.

    "Mmmmmm, that's how you'll fool them."
    "Hmmmmmmmm, so that's how you fooled them."
    - LOL, I'm speechless. XD

    The end sequence, with "Meet her." Not exactly a mistranslation, more of an interpolation, since there was no defined object of meeting in the original Japanese.

    I still don't know what that word was supposed to mean.

    Unfortunately I own the PC version, so I have to miss out on much of these translations. And I doubt I know of any mistranslations that nobody else knows about.

    I had originally found that off course one pretty quirky, though.
