How come the msq keeps using big words?

Not even Middle English. Urianger is using a mix of Modern English and Early Modern English. (Early Modern English =~ Shakespeare)

No sure what you mean by this. English is my second language and I don't read books. That stuff is in the past but maybe i'm just getting old.
But I would look up a word I don't know however.

thanks for reminding me this is a troll thread i almost told the OP he should go learn more english XD

Wish we had proper translation when using original voice work. Dragons and Urianger are pretty silly in the English version

I absolutely LOVE that this game uses advanced english, it's not just pretentious, it is great world building and creative direction.

Because SE looked up your records using your payment info and are aware you dropped out of school. They care enough about you to want you to be better in all things though, so they've chosen to challenge and expand your vocabulary by including linguistic forms that are no longer common.

I like that they are different, it's almost like we get double the story, due to the differences that sometimes pop up. There are times it's close and times they diverge a fair bit.

It does make it a little more difficult for people who don't speak Japanese/English/French/German as their first language - that is - if their strongest non-native language is English, then they do need to deal with some unusual turns of phrase.

Uh, most of them can be understood easily from context.

I'm not even a native speaker and even then most of Urianger speech can be understood that way. Even things like Jacke's Thieves Cant can be understood without being English major.

Doesn't take much to understand "bene cove" means "good guy" and so on.

I agree completely, but some people seem to think that if there are words they haven't encountered before then they don't understand those words.

What does "by his most puissant hands" even mean lol? Do you want people to carry a dictionary when they do the msq? Because if you are you succeeded congrats looooool.

Do. you. understand. English? I speak. The English.

in other words, you need an IQ of at least 50 to play this game and by the sounds of it, yours is what -75?
