As most of you guys/gals have seen... there are some mistranslated text, typos, misplaced text, some text that just has "DDDDDD", and etc. This could also involve NPC names as well!  We want to address all these issues because we have the power too! We need your help though!

 

What we need from you ::

1. Name of the Quest ::
2. Location of the Quest :: 
3. Which Aspects of the Quest that contains the Errors ::
4. The Errors within the Text ::
5. If not a Quest, where is the Text issue Shown and on which NPC/announcement ::

Please try to follow this format! This will be the easiest for us to understand and for us to resolve the text issues. So what do YOU get for helping us and the game out? 

 

A High Five! Plus a small prize pack of W-Coins, Enchantment Scrolls, and More! The more you help out, the more you prizes you receive. For every valid 2 entries given, you shall be rewarded!

 

Entries can be submitted by posting on THIS Thread.  If you have multiple entries, please edit your first post and add it in.

 

So, take your time and if you spot any errors.. post it here!

I'll highlight all errors in bold and italics. They seem to get mixed easily so I'll quote each one. Most of the below listed errors are free of typos, but instead lack proper grammar and punctuation. Seems a lot of them just need a human touch, and not just a quick run through Google Translate.

 

I tried to double triple quadruple check these so my own typing errors don't get mixed in with the 'proper' ones. I've also omitted pages of dialogue that have no discernible problems, and things such as missing adpositions are not mentioned as I'm not yet sure whether I can offer my own corrections, and I can't highlight things that don't exist!

 

For a lack of proper bridging words or missing things in general, I instead highlighted the word immediately following where the bridge should be and prefixed a small red* asterisk.

 

For missing or erroneous capitalisations, I highlighted the word and prefixed a blue* asterisk. For missing pluralities or attributions (it's, the player's, gems etc.), improper usage of a word (but the base word is fine) or improper tense, I highlighted and suffixed a green* asterisk.

 

Lastly, I very likely missed some things, so just consider these a point in the right direction rather than gospel. Pretty much every quest in this game has some sort of text problem. I may or may not be getting someone to decompress the text tables so I can look at them directly. 

 

P.S. Can we add 6. Possible Correction(s) to the list, or otherwise add them in greyed out text, or should we leave that to you?

 

P.P.S.I might just add greyed out text as recommendations anyway. I'll edit them in tomorrow or something.

More incoming, as I'm doing the quests while I audit them ^_^

 

e: I'm SO tempted to just Strike Through huge chunks of quest text and rewrite them all from scratch. @_@

I know Almr asked me to help, but I'll probably be more a pain in the arse - are some of those capitalisation errors really errors? Summoning stones seems like it could be in lower case, since I'm assuming summoning stones are a common item in Dragon Saga's world, while Black Witch is more likely meant to be capitalised, e.g. I doubt there's this subspecies of witch that is just waltzing around the world called "black witch".

 

Then again, Final Fantasy, black mages...

 

Anyway, depends what the internal style guide is. E.g. if all key items should be capitalised regardless, then you can ignore what I said here.

 

Also, "who led many nameless soldiers who have died" - this works for me too. Then again, context. Did she lead the soliders to their deaths (who died sounds better then), or did she lead the soldiers, but now they're all dead (who have died sounds better).

 

Also, on "I'll highlight the details about this place", while there's other ways to say it, this way doesn't feel unnatural enought to me to count as an error, unless there's a bit of context I'm missing. Then again, "of" or "on" seem quicker and neater, but I think "about" here just passes.

 

 

I know, not really a proper contribution, but I haven't gone through looking carefully myself, so this is all I can really contribute

Key Items should be capitalised. Summoning Stones in particular are quest targets, and therefore should be capitalised to specify that they are unique and important.

 

If we can offer possible corrections, all the stuff I'm doing up there would make more sense

 

As it is now, I'm just highlighting what could/should receive a bit of attention.

Thank you guys. This will be directed to our Producer.

I found this on one of the blue people:

If you talk to the drakan or whatever they are called in kazeura village, the one which gives you the kilo f5 quest, her speech bubble is extremely stretched, this could be due to someone holding down space.

Also is it Mirinae or milkyway sanctuary because some quests call it milkyway, and others call it mirinae
