Video Game Odds & Ends


Fruely, Madly, Deeply


[Lufia: The Legend Returns - Gameboy Color]



First off, I'd like to apologize for the fun size screenshot. But that's how it captured. Taking screens on mobile devices is fruely frustrating. I didn't know the in-emulator screencapping was default size. XP

Ahem! Anywaiz, this has to be one of the best typos in video game history. Right up there with Final Fantasy 7's iconic "This guy are sick".

Now I guess we can forgive Natsume here. After all, the "t" is right above the "f". Anyone could have made the same mistake. Of course looking at the other typos in the game... Well not to split hairs, but somebody needs Mavis Beacon to teach them typing.

It's kind of hard to take Gades seriously when he has that speech impediment. Not that the Sinistrals are master wordsmiths. As can be seen here, here, something about girding yourself properly and a bunch of other stuff I don’t have here yet. Essentially, the Sinistrals are pretty scary. Until they open their mouths. Maybe they should just conduct their genocidal tendencies in silence.

Now rather than consider this a typo I like to headcanon Gades as having a bizarre speech impediment that has turned into a unique philosophy understood by no one but himself. What is frue destruction? It's frue destruction! How many times must he explain it to everyone?!

So after awhile people and fellow Sinistrals alike just nodded their heads and laughed behind his back. It's just easier that way.

Well maybe I shouldn't be too hard on poor Gades. I made a lot of typos while typing this. I could probably use some Mavis Beacon too. Fruely.
