Engrish in KitN Options

[jcdietz03]

Okay folks, this thread is dedicated to the use of Engrish in Knights in the Nightmare.

Let's start with the promo video, found on the KitN website:

"One night, the denizens of the abyss, led by Zovornak, emerged out of nowhere and slayed all the kings men..."

Pretty much the only thing I found in the whole thing is "slayed all the kings men" which sounds like engrish to me. Killed all the king's men? Massacred the king's men?

Certain dialog boxes: Touch the box. (Groan) Sometimes: Touch either box.
Other dialog box: Go Next. (argh)

One word: KILL

[A knight joins you]: Join In! (?)

[Before battle]Get ready! Engage!

[Get an item in battle]Item gotten!

Warrior:
[Activate]The warrior: Activated!

On turn result screen:
KILL OUT!

On scene result screen:
Drive Tech (?)

One enemy slots screen:
Touch the box to be defeated enemy

[Dr Strum]

"Touch the box" -> "Press OK"

A) "Press OK" is generic.
B) It rarely (never?) says "OK" when this command pops up.

"Touch either box" -> something like "Select"

Again, "Select" is boring.

"Get ready!...Go!" is an English phrase. "Get ready!...Engage!" isn't. Though it is still grammatically correct.

If it's grammatically correct, and in English, then it's an English phrase. I have to ask again, do you know what Engrish is?

I would say DEAD because it indicates the current status of the enemy.

As opposed to "KILL" indicating that you GOT A KILL on this enemy.
