Japanese game

They named it Origins Plateau in my language, which I guess carries the original meaning without being as silly.

It took me a second to realize that's Zelda Breath of the Wild. Game went from a 10/10 to a 0/10 right there. Still 100%'d it twice though.

>はじまりのがい
"The beginning of Gay" is the better translation

はじまりの台地 is literally plateau of origins, guy you're quoting is a moron

You have 5 seconds to name the last game you finished in Japanese.

>Uses term "恩返し"
>English localizers just translate it to "Return"
????

Yeah. As in 'to return the favor' or 'to do sth. in return'? Learn2English

>Return (the favor)
Though I agree, they could have dealt with the character limit by using a different word like requite , though kids might not have known what it meant.

"_____ of beginnings" is a perfectly valid, if stock, way to translate はじまりの_______
You're the retard here.

Both are valid, but blaming Japanese naming for something the localization did is moronic.

It's 'literally' just 'starting town', 'starting plateau' etc. There's nothing to this. What is there to discuss? Don't get it. I also don't see how this is supposed to be bad writing. It can be useful in gaming context like when it's on a open world map you don't have to memorize the name of the starting location. You'll always have it as a point of orientation. Use your head people.

>Starting town is called はじまりの街
>Starting town is called Starting town
Woooooooow Like really? It's a common term in English and Japanese.

Literally naming a town "Starting Town" is not at all common in English.
Provide examples of times this happened if I'm wrong.

All he said was "what" and you're here going apeshit.

I meant when talking about games players will often use the term. It's of course not in lore but not everything absolutely has to be. It's sort of meta. I can understand noticing it as a little bit odd but if I saw something like this I wouldn't really think twice about it. Maybe in English it sticks out a little more as even less common but there are things equally as unrealistic in every game that we all have come to accept like the map function itself? I dunno. Seems fine to me. Maybe calling it 'xx of origins' or 'xx of beginnings' matches the tone of certain stories better but it is literally just 'starting xx' to me.

Your point? Did you make this thread only to brag about learning that shitty useless language?

So are you saying the japanese language doesn't have synonyms for things? Is there only one way to say things?

I suspect it is so. Why else would you make a thread about it if you knew Japanese? You'd have to be really intersted in translations to compare on your own time. I know I'm not looking at translations if I don't have to. Makes no sense.

How did you arrive at that conclusion. There are tons of synonymous expressions in Japanese.
