Digging through Tales of Destiny remake

[Cless]

Like maps?



(It's bigger than that. Right-click/view image for the full size. I set the board to constrain images over a certain dimension)

[ForceCube]

OMFG! Gotta right-click them all! <o>


Seriously now, those SD pics are so... random. And it's kinda funny that Leon is the only one with a serious face.

Anyway, maybe I use one of them as my avatar. Probably Mary. :3

And WTF is Chloe's hat doing in the middle of the world map? o_o''

[Rmarques]

Oh My God... Chelsea's eyes on the first set... They follow you around the room! D=

Do you know about the hats?

Lion's Side and... Stun's Side.  Now you too can enjoy all the secrets of Stun's never before told story.

And yet some people religiously go by the Engrishy names that are printed in guides and artbooks, claiming those are the "official" Romanizations.
Better hope none of these types of people work on ToDr, lest we all face the fears of Stun Airelon.

Well, this was a non-official guidebook, so nobody would claim it was official.  Stahn's "official" romanization is Stan.  Just like Leon's is Lion.  Those work fine if you're reading the vowels Japanese-style, but obviously they don't capture the English pronunciation.  I think that artbooks, manuals, and other guides are useful references, but they're really just that - references.  I still wish there were a kana version of the ToP soundtrack so I know what they were trying to express with some of those names.

I didn't. o_o

Stahn's "official" romanization is Stan.  Just like Leon's is Lion.

The oldest piece of official promotional material I have from pre-release of the Japanese version of Tales of Destiny contains the following romanizations for the characters:
"Stahn Aerlon"
"Ruty Kartret"
"Woodrow Kelvin"
"Philia Phillis"
"Leum Magnus" <- This one is friggin odd. But I guess ignoring the odd "um", it pretty much bunks in the favor of Leon. Could be typo or misreading of bad handwriting for on.
"Chelsea Tone"

There is no mention of the other characters, but there are referances to terms/names such as: Swordian Master, Swordian, Dycroft, Lumina Draconis, Berglandt and The Eye of the Diety.

Liam Magnus'd be awesome! Lay-um on the other hand.

I wasn't aware of that.  I've definitely seen Stan and Lion in a lot of places though.  Apparently they haven't even been internally consistent about the romanizations of the names...  Well, after living here for half a year, nothing about Japanese English surprises me any more.  The scarier thing is that I'm starting to get used to it.  I'm going to have to spend the summer reading books to get my brain working right again...

Everyone loves cut-ins, right?



I have no idea who those last two belong to...

IT'S RAPE TIME

[Yetika]

Man, those cut-ins rock; First time I've ever seen them clearly. I'm surprised neither Miktran nor Hugo have any, though. Oh well.

[Cless Aileron]

Yeah.  I love cut ins.

IT'S RAPE TIME

Exactly what I was thinking when I saw that.

"Please, Barbatos.  Don't rape me!"

[Kogahazan]

I have no idea who those last two belong to...

The first one is Kongman's belt. Happens with a specific Kongman blast caliber. The second one is Neo Miktran.

So i just took a look at some of those pics and then..................... OH MY GOD WHAT HAVE I DONE!?!?!?!?

[EvilMan_89]
