"Shenmue III English Lines Compared to the Original"
The first two Shenmue games have their share of quirky English translations, and in this topic we'll turn our attention to Shenmue III and look at a number of English lines that may have caused players to wonder how closely they reflect the original Japanese.
These may be anything from a particular word or phrase that relates to the story, to an inconsequential conversation that leaves the player feeling slightly puzzled.
Watch for it to come to the blog in a future post!
Well the obvious one is the botched "that's where we found the scroll" line at the ending ;) Can't believe how botched that was. I was a novice Japanese student and even I knew that wasn't right.
