OH i was wondering who Atori was, thnx and yea i hate how they changed multi-weapon to adept rogue, but i ESPECIALLY dont like how they changed unreturner to lost ones, i mean seriously, "omg there the lost ones" doesnt that kinda seem a bit.....off?? unreturner is a much better term dont you think?

Well I don't appreciate any of the translations, except maybe Zelkova, which has a nice ring to it.

I don't like the name changes, not because of the names, but because they I find it dumb that they would change the names of some but keep the names of others. I mean why keep Matsu and Hiiragi, and then turn the name of the kickass Enju into something as lame as Sophora? Might as well change Hiiragi into Holly.

As for the class name changes, I find them too flamboyant. I don't remember seeing any MMORPG with class names like that, they were much simpler terms. I especially don't appreciate Adept Rouge, I just plain sucks. Why not Weapon Adept or something?

The Lost Ground name changes are stupid, why bother translating them into German? R:1 was a German themed game, while R:2 had German, Celtic and Nordic themes. I liked that part of R:2, as it represented that The World is changing. Then the translators decided to Germanize the Lost Grounds....for no apparent reason. There are still a ton of Lost Grounds in the next couple of games I not going to like it if they change their names too.

And finally for the terms, that was just horrible. Terms like Lost Ones and Chosen Ones(ugh), are just generic and cliche. And Unreturners actually did make sense as a term.

Ok I'm done ranting.
