Can we get modern english translation?

I agree. The laziness to read the thread and understand that the arguments you use in your post have already been discussed.


I guess you did not bother to actually read the reddit entry, instead of skimming it? In japanese he mentions sealing the blessing, not removing it (as he does in english).
In your example you also conviently remove a piece of dialogue in between these 2:

English local: Thou art mistaken. If thou comest to harm, it shall be by another's hand, not mine.
Direct translation: ''Thus the light has also cast a shadow. Perhaps, even without my claw the light would grow dim one day.''

Yeah...definatly not info lost there.


Also, removes the blessing in between those 2 lines. So whats said before/after cant exactly be exchanged because of the japanese reverse order... (they are seperate sentences, not 2 pieces of a composed sentence)

The only real argument being represented here is that some people have trouble comprehending grammatically correct English. The localization team for this game is easily one of the best in the industry, not many companies can pull off lore and dialect like this and have it sound and feel consistent.

Again, having Midgardsormr speak in an even older English dialect can tell you more about him as a character without him or anyone else ever actually talking about him. And that only works because the use of the English language in this game's script has been consistent.



If you don't want to try and understand what you're reading, that's fine. Just say that it isn't your cup of tea.

But don't try to discredit the localization team by saying they're doing their job wrong. That's just ridiculous. You're just struggling to read more a educated translation.
