Spacing and Name Changes

Hello Amoirsp,

Although changing the spacing is appreciated for the "//" lines, it is not necessary. Please review the guidelines as well as Haeleth's manual on comments. As long as comments are:

this is not ignored // sajfiophwaopeifhiopwhfeiopa this is ignored until end of line

this is not ignored {-- ahsfopihewaoipfhaiopwhfiopwhe this is ignored --} this is not ignored

Also, please review the guidelines carefully on naming. I notice you used "Young man" when it should be "Young Man".

Buhi vs. Puhi

Turns out to be puhi, my eyes have been deceiving me all this time because in MS PGothics, ぷ and ぶ look alike. :(

Tomoyo's Route

Just FYI, I plan to be tackling that route as soon as I'm done with Kyou's, so hold out for a while. ;)

About the language reversal

We need to talk about how we will approach this. Well, let me start... I'm just wondering about how we'll deal with this things. Yup, translation is interpretation but sometimes, the interpretation is vague if followed too perfectly, for example...

Taken from SEEN4420
<0256> \{Kotomi} "Which do you like? English or French?"
<0257> \{\m{B}} "Don't decide what other people would want to read by your criteria."
<0258> \{Kotomi} "??"
<0259> \{\m{B}} "Please give me one of those Japanese ones."

Some people might wonder, they're English speaking people but why is he asking for a Japanese book? Or maybe it just doesn't look right to me for having got used to multiple language? ^_^; --Dgreater1 02:35, 17 April 2007 (PDT)

I look it as the difficulty of book, even with same language, is too much for Tomoya. So even if he request a Japanese book, he's asking for a very simple elementary one. Since he is Japanese (Speaking English is one thing, but this cannot be denied), asking for a basic simple book sounds reasonable. Also, all the books in the library were too much for him, and this was established. Also, in Clannad they have an English grammar class specifically. Kotomi also talked about that English book she was reading earlier. On THAT book she read, it has to be English, otherwise the structure makes absolutely no sense about not easy to write but easy to read. There is one funny thing though, since Japanese books are read right to left (up to down, but the page flip is right to left), and English is basically the opposite, it would be funny calculating the direction. I still say make it nearly direct, since playing this game should already give the main idea that they are indeed, Japanese (school, places, radicals, names, culture, golden week). Then again along with this language confusion is also why we use several romanji (imagine English-fying the SFX to wham and bam -_-, but that's not the issue ^^;; ) I think the problem is adjusting the ENTIRE GAME to this (so it's also easier to draft directly). If it's like one little scene then this is much easier to decide.
NOW I REMEMBER! Tomoya told Ryou in 4th period or something in seen4417 before ditching class (or rather, during the ditch) and he doesn't care about English Grammar, telling Ryou that he's Japanese and won't ever use English. That's what further made me think the direct language thing. ...and I guess I see nothing wrong with him speaking in English requesting a Japanese book because Tomoya is Japanese, :P --Amoirsp 03:25, 17 April 2007
I see, thanks for the explanation but don't forget that there are Japanese classes too, not a regular subject compared to English though ^^;. I guess we must check back those reversed languages I made :3, I don't remember though how many of it, but I'm I don't think there were plenty :3... There's surely in Tomoyo's route :3 about the dovenge, rozonve, etc., I'm sure I reversed the language there, and I also think I reversed something about English Grammar to Japanese lesson somewhere before. Anyway, I'll go look for it later and fix those lines :3 --Dgreater1 05:52, 17 April 2007 (PDT)
