FriedelindePosted 1/26/2013 7:16:19 PM | would be better without the honorifics, it's a "localization" act like it
all and all, the effect it takes away from the game is fairly small, but still annoying |
SevynePosted 1/26/2013 7:30:34 PM | I like the honorifics. Sure it's a localization, but it's still taking place in Japan and I think it adds a nice little touch to the game. No hate for those who do not prefer it though. It's not to everyone's taste. |
SicianPosted 1/26/2013 8:45:51 PM | Well... since it's in Japan, it just would sound weird if it suddenly disappeared. Blah blah... localization and a few of the honorifics are questionable. If you want to get rid of everything like honorifics, we might as well change Chie to Carley and make her black.

CrimsonSuzaku13Posted 1/26/2013 8:49:07 PM | Watch the anime.
For some reason in the dub this time, they took out honorifics.
It's reaaaaaally jarring, for me at least.

SicianPosted 1/26/2013 9:02:22 PM | Oh... but she would be Chie and white in the Japanese version.

mistermikeymikePosted 1/26/2013 9:12:29 PM | honestly they should. it would appeal a lot more to western audiences like final fantasy. persona 4 kinda has this anime virgin feel to it that probably drives away a lot of players.

SkybladeNoxPosted 1/26/2013 9:16:41 PM | Personally I'd rather have either the full Japanese audio track, or the English track without the honorifics. This sort of half-assed amalgamation is one of my only issues with the game. |
SolKarellenPosted 1/26/2013 9:27:37 PM | The issue is that they're difficult to translate, and without them, you lose some meaning towards relationships present in the Japanese version.
Sometimes you can throw in equivalents, like changing a -kun prefix into referring to the character with a cutesy nickname. Doesn't always work, though, so I understand the translator's dilemma.
