Wow, I cannot begin to express my excitement regarding this thread!

I recently had a chance to whiz back through the level cap quests and I have to say...

The whole "brown mage" storyline had me rolling on the floor laughing.

How much of that is a direct translation? How much of it had to be ad-lib?

Brilliant!
You know, I was talking with the two translators involved in that quest line just now, and they each claim amnesia. However, I can confirm that they took what the Japanese had and dialed it up to 11!
