How come the msq keeps using big words?

[Quintessa]

I'm not an english major so I don't know these big words. But omg can we all agree to chill with the big words. How come urianger and even the crystal Miqote use words like "puissant"? 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.

Urianger isn't using "new words". He is using archaic words from Middle English.

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

I have a pretty good vocabulary so the game's baroque script didn't catch me terribly off guard. It gives the game a certain degree of class that's absent in most other games, and expanding your vocabulary is never a bad thing (even if using certain words like puissant in daily life will get you odd looks at best). Funnily enough, non-EN scripts don't dip into the same archaic vernacular.

My only point of contention is how everyone speaks with an English accent. Regardless of being separated by thousands of malms, cultures that developed wholly separate from one another, and even being on entire different planes of existence, everyone still speaks with an English accent. They do pronounce foreign words correctly, but it's still jarring for Domans to be using English accents. (I mean I understand why, but it's still irritating. The one exception to this off the top of my head is Lyna, who does in fact speak with the Icelandic accent Fran set the Viera precedent for.)

If they're Sea Wolf Roegadyn, then it makes sense. Look up their naming convention.

Troll or not, I laughed. Just the sheer ridiculousness of this was amusing.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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?
