Were these just thrown into google translate or babblefish? None of them make any sense o_O.

I expect a higher level of quality from Gravity.

They already warned us the dialogue translations would be rough, b/c they were really pressed for time trying to get us the content ASAP. I'd much rather deal w/ the minor issue of sloppy translations and have the new content than wait for another month or two while they cleaned up all the text.

Here's a screenshot...

Vertical lines with a break in the middle, the lines are equivalent in size. With an exclamation point, the bottom part of it is shorter than the top part of it. Visually it is different...the lowercase "i" has the longer part on the bottom. Course I study typography so, that stuff is very apparent to me (there's a good number of fonts I can identify just by looking at it, on posters, ads, etc). Still, even if it were exclamation points being used in the quest dialogues, they shouldn't be between letters o_O They go at the end of sentences! Like this! <---

It would make things look more polished. Some dialogues are worse than others, and i|t||e|n|ds up| re|a|d|ing|li|ke th|i|s D:
