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?
What's wrong with "Do you want to continue?"?

Nothing, it was a part of the "off course/no, way!" line.Originally Posted by Mirage
Recieved "Last Elixier" - What do you mean? The last Elixier in the game?! No wait I can still get some... Hmmm.... (Replays that part and checks menu) Oh! It's only a MEGALIXER!
"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.
KNOWLESPOLE
I still don't know what that word was supposed to mean.

North Pole.
Off, course I know them all!
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.
You guys think Knowlespole is North Pole? Oh brother!
And what, pray tell, do you think it is?
Knowlespole.
Was Gaia a misstranslation of Earth?
Whas Wutai a misstranslation of China or Japan?
