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 |

QUOTE So it basically boils down to our own personal preferences. Grammar is not a matter of personal preference. Unless your personal preference is to be wrong, which almost seems the case with you.QUOTE Just like I'm not supposed to judge Japanese voice acting b/c I'm not a native speaker. The dumbest thing I've ever heard. You don't even have to know the language to judge it.~~~ Писатель всегда будет в оппозиции к политике, пока сама политика будет в оппозиции к культуре.
