Patch Available - GMS 1.31

I don't mind the Japanese, but I still don't really like the names of the japanese Hayato skills. Why shouldn't GMS make them simpler?

People complain about how badly NexonNA translate far too often when in most cases the most literal translation would make no sense to most of their playerbase since most of them speak English.

Btw, I been wondering this for a while, but is there some advantage to using the long pre-patch method rather than just using the manual patcher?

So... I found the GMS string for Defensive Attack... They named it "Shimada Heart." >_>

So do any of those skill names match the English names.

I'm no professional translator, but these would be close translations of what they mean, I believe.

that's a cute window.

Are you doing this one? I was kind of hoping you would.

Nope.

I didn't switch to static.southperry.net FTP yet so even if I did it'd be pretty annoying.

Stuck on Base.wz

The GMS medal names make me sad.

剣の道を歩む者 (The one who walks the way of the sword) -> "Medal of the Bushido"
駆け抜ける剣豪 (The Surpassing Swordsman) -> "The Bladed Falcon's Medal"
暁流の猛者 (Man of Valor of the Dawn) -> "Medal of the Morning Moon"
風に舞う剣聖 (The Wind-Dancing Kensei) -> "Medal of Wind and Steel"
疾風の刃 (A Blade of Gales) -> "Medal of the Razor Gale"

They really did not need to change the skill names all they had to do is translate the descriptions. Watch how certain skill do not work because of a simple name change.

Yes, because working with skill names that are no better than a random syllable sequence is so much better than using English names that are inaccurate translations.

I kinda like the English names and I can see how they relate to the original Japanese.

The only one I don't like is ''The Bladed Falcon's Medal''.

The rest are better than the ''originals'' in my opinion. Well, maybe not ''Morning Moon'' since that sounds just kind of dumb in general. A ''morning moon''. Getting all poetic and pomegranate.

Too poetic for a japanese samurai warrior?

So are they making empress on all channels now in this patch as well?

The skill names could be worse.. Jaguar-oshi.

You think "Wind and Steel" is better than "The Wind-Dancing Kensei?" I couldn't possibly describe Hayato better than "the wind-dancing Kensei."
