Riviera FAQ

This is a good FAQ, I'm not going to dispute that. My beef with him is on another thing entirely. If you look, he constantly says "I hate the English names," and "The Japanese names are soooooo much cooler." He does this even for names that are EXACTLY THE SAME. Oh shit, Fia has an extra 'a' sound at the end in the Japanese version! SUPERIOR! Oh fuck, Hekutaa just SOUNDS cooler than Hector! YEAH!!!

What the fuck is with this Japanophile bullshit? Hekutaa does not sound any better than Hector, your shitty faggot romaji skills don't help much either. Fucking Japanese elitist bullshit. Go choke on a nail or something.

I'm betting you he doesn't even know Japanese, he probably just goes "OMG JAPANESE SO SUPERIOR" because he's one of those Wappanese purist assholes.

I dunno, this is just one of my pet peeves, people who just indiscriminately go "Japanese is just SO much better, it R0x0rZ my B0X0rZ lol" while eating Pocky and drinking "KORAA" because people who say "Coke" are stupid gaijin bitches. I mean, I've learned a fair bit of Japanese myself, and I like the language, people like this just annoy me to no end.

Discuss.

Seconded. That ruins many otherwise potentially good FAQs to me. It's not such a huge issue with the Riviera one, since you at least know what the characters are supposed to be called, but some faqs...

(Note: This FAQ is stupid even without the translation issue. Just showing a very bad example >_>)

(Copy and paste to address bar, then take out the space between file/ and final. Direct linking doesn't work.)

Partly using normal english names like Flame Shield, Broadsword, and Elixir, then...things like Doukoze no Kote, Shinobi no Koromo, Mamori no Yubiwa and Tairyoku no Uta? Endless failure.

Yeah, the Fia -> Fiaa thing in that guide was stupid as hell.
The Rose -> Rothe thing annoys me most though. How can ANYONE like that name better?

I like Gateau's Japanese name more. Did I spell that right?
