1. Wow, emo-ing over the fact that your secrets are misinterpreted or ignored? Like... I don't get that. I mean, I've sent in a couple of secrets before and they both haven't gotten a lot of attention, but it's really not cool to be complaining that your secrets are misinterpreted and then whining about it to the community as if in an attempt to guilt-trip people into paying more attention to the seemingly obscure secrets. (Then again, "secrets" relating to people's experiencing with sending in their own "secrets" seem pretty self-absorbed and attention-whorish to me, and seeing as you're basically complaining that you haven't gotten enough attention, you seem to be fitting into that assumption way too well.)

I mean... if you really don't want people to give their honest opinions about your secrets, why post them at all to a community that's specifically designed for people to give back their opinions (quite possibly) anonymously to an anonymous poster?

I'm sorry, maybe you're just a nice person who really does feel lonely and I'm just making you feel worse, but... the "secrets about secrets" tend to really bug me and your secret just hit all my dislikes about them on the nail. :/

The smaller "e" connects to the former character to modify the other's pronunciation, but the larger "e" stands as its own sound. Or at least that's what I've been taught... *beginning student*

Oh, katakana. You are too much geeky fun.

[grayout.livejournal.com]

The smaller "e" indicates "she!" Like, "she" as opposed to "shi-e." Same with stuff like "fu-(small)e" = "fe," "tsu-(small)o" = "tso." Hence "Tson" for Tseng (which is pronounced more like "Tson" in Chinese, anyway). :D

[hughes]

XDDD LUCKILY, I DO KNOW HOW JAPANSESE PHONETICS WORK, and yeah, the little "e" following the "shi" in your first example basically makes the "i" in "shi" into "e," so yeah, you end up with "she-ra," whereas the other one is "shi-e-ra," and... yeah, basically, don't worry; I know katakana too. <3 8D YAY BAD TRANSLATIONS.

As a FUNNY side-story, I randomly ebayed this old EGM issue from 1997 whose cover story was a preview for FFVII before it actually came out, and like... it had this whole article where the English translators of FFVII were basically bragging about how it would have a "revolutionary translation" and how they were going to lengths to make it super-accurate, and.... XD XD XD GOT A GOOD LAUGH OUTTA THAT ONE.

...In other news, I should friend you already. XD; ::FRIENDS.::

[hughes]

...And OHCRAP at how many people responded to that. 8D S'OKAY, GUYS, I KNOWES. <3 Appreciate the gesture, anyway; you guys are sweet. <3

[subversive.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that sort of thing. I knew that but was temporarily too retarded/lazy to explain it. :x THNXU. ♥

[subversive.livejournal.com]

Yes, that kind of thing. :x Thnx u for explaining what I could not. ♥

[subversive.livejournal.com]

THEN IT WAS FOR THE BENEFIT OF ONLOOKERS, OF WHICH THERE SEEM TO BE MANY. CLEARLY WE ARE FASCINATING SPECIMENS WHICH MUST BE CROSSBRED WITH A GIANT TALKING CAT-LIKE THING, BECAUSE GENETICS WORK LIKE THAT, REALLY.

..... XDDD Are you fucking serious? But the.. the.. THIS GUY ARE SICK. D: OFF COURSE. DKSFJSALKFJLSDF Goddamn. At least the PC version was less mistake-ridden. I think. It was, right? D:

*friends back* Wheeee new friend~ and I think you already know what kind of insanity to expect so I won't bore you with that. :x

[shahni.livejournal.com]

YOU RP BEAUTY AND THE BEAST?! I played a very Beast-less Belle. *dies*

[shahni.livejournal.com]

I -still- pronounce "Tseng" as "S-e-ng" 'cause I'm so used to it. I'm TRYING to say it as Tson, but it's gonna take a while. *DIES*

[shahni.livejournal.com]

*DIESSSSS* The only place I've seen a BatB cast is in paradisa! AUGH YOU WIN MAJOR POINTS FOR IT.

[insanepurin.livejournal.com]

2. YES. I LOVE THIS GAME TO PIECES. THANK YOU WORLD.
3. I hear you. T-T *wave*
8. THREADS OF FATE AND LEGEND OF LEGAIA FOR THE WIN! Mint and Noa rocked my socks. *nod*

[larvayne]

6. Mistranslation. It was supposed to be Aerith - and correctly translated in KH2. :) ♥

[insanepurin.livejournal.com]

I've played Legend of Legaia. *thumb's up* And Threads of Fate. :3 *sigh* They don't make 'em like they used to anymore. Those games were magic. :D

Raise your hand if you played Brave Fencer Musashi. *raises hand*

[shahni.livejournal.com]

HOLY CRAP THAT'S YOU?! *DIEEESSSSS* I play Ranmaru! OBSCURE FANDOMS UNITE!! I was playing Rufus there but didn't have much time. That and I have no idea if the game has any plot, ahehe, so I just update sporadically xD

[shahni.livejournal.com]

SKJFDKJSHDFKJSH BERSERK ♥ ♥ ♥ And I've only seen one person beside myself play Ranmaru in other games, so. *Dies* And woah, I'm so out of it. AUGH. TOO MUCH SCHOOLWORK OR I'D PARTICIPATE S'MORE.

I'm surprised Ranmaru hasn't been mistaken for a girl in Paradisa yet. PEOPLE ARE SMARTING NOW. :D And I laughed every time Gaston updated, so yes. MAJOR WIN FOR YOU. :D

1. But picking at stuff is the best part D:

6. Shion is actually an easy error to make, 'cause the katakana for TSU looks like SHI and Tseng's name is something like TSON in Japanese, so it comes out kinda like SHION...

Guh, this might be easier.

ツォン　－＞　シオン
^ TSON ^SHION

[x-of-greene-x.livejournal.com]

Duuude, Tseng sounds nothing like Tson in Chinese.

Are we talking Mandarin?!

[shahni.livejournal.com]

Oh, wow. I'd totally pick up Rickert if there was a Judeau. IlovedtheoriginalHawksmorethanwhat'sgoingonnow. ;-; I'm more a Griffith player if I'd have ever gotten a chance but the current Griffith is kickass. xD

[klytaemnestra.livejournal.com]

6. Yeah, I understand making the mistake translating ... however, I saw an English speaking person use the name Shion instead of Tseng in a fic and then argue with people who told her that it was a translation mistake in the original fan-sub.

[convault]

._o

Uh, yeah. Wow.

No words.

[gysecune.livejournal.com]

2. Me, too! I lent it to my cousin and she refused to give it back on grounds that I had "given" it to her. ;_; WHAT.

3. MARIA-SAMA GA MITERU~~ I was just thinking about this today, how I should rewatch it and fangirl over Sei and babble about how much I want to marry her.

4. I comment a lot and read, but I never signed up for some reason. I guess because I only come here out of boredom and am usually not too active in communities nowadays, anyway.

8. SO2 ftw!

[(Anonymous)]

Really? My Taiwanese friend says it's a lot like Tson, I was basing it on what he said, 'n he speaks Mandarin. *dies* I don't know, don't ask me!
