Why do all Jap games have these retarded titles in English?
>Bravery Default
>Resident Evil
>Guilty Gear
>Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth (??? What's that semicolon doing there???)
>Chrono Trigger
>Infinite Undiscovery
>Final Fantasy
>Kingdom Hearts
It's like these people googled "two-word noun generator" and picked the one they thought sounded videogamey
I'm assuming it sounds better in Japanese and the translation is kinda wonky or whatever? Can you weebs please enlighten me.
Most of it is translation stuff, part of it is just the fact that most video game titles don't make sense
>Serious Sam
>main character is constantly cracking wise
>Binary Domain
>game takes place in a normal-seeming world and not in cyberspace
>Dark Souls
>souls are bright white
>Dead Rising
>they're all infected people who were not previously dead
Resident Evil and Final Fantasy are self explanatory
Chrono Trigger and Guilty Gear makes sense in context
>Resident Evil
>>321944194
The main function of the english language in countries where it's not the national language is saying stupid shit in a cool sounding way.
>>321944194
Japs usually just choose names according to how cool they think they sound not for coherency
>>321944901
Final Fantasy was because Square Enix was about to go bankrupt though.
>>321945032
It just looks and sounds so incompetent though, I mean wouldn't you want people not to think that the game is made by some illiterate morons?
I gotta admit I do like how some of those titles I mentioned look on paper, like Resident Evil or Kingdom Hearts, they look neat
Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth is a complete clusterfuck though
>>321944901
It's only called Resident Evil in the west, though. The Japanese title, Biohazard, makes a lot more sense, desu.
>>321946743
I agree with that.

>>321944194

Or the worst offender:
>AR tornelico Quoga: Knell of AR ciel
>>321947169
The original first Resident Evil took place in an evil mansion.
>>321944194
Final Fantasy's named so because Square was going bankrupt at the time and it could've been their last game.
>>321944194
>Bravery Default
kek, I see what you did there.
Chrono Trigger and Finaly Fantasy are not that big of a deal, but I think Biohazard was a better name than Resident Evil.
Wasn't the name Final Fantasy chosen because it would have sunk the company if it didn't do well hence their final fantasy?
>>321944194
It's also happens in Western games just look at the last of us or the witcher
>>321945378
>It just looks and sounds so incompetent though
Not to them.
>>321947557
so.. spooky house was already taken ?
Guilty Gear sounds and is cool so shut up
>>321944194
Resident Evil's japanese title is Biohazard
>bravely default
stupid japs
Why does Japan have shit names for JAVs?
like Big Boobed Ass Slut Who Loves Cocks Turns on her Husband for her Sister's Pussy and Son's Cock while Cooking
>>321947169
IIRC it's a Sweet Home reference.
>>321945378
I guess you dont know, but Japanese people dont speak english, they apeak Japanese. However, they do think Engliah is cool, which is why they like naming games like hyperdimension nwptunia re;birt. They dont give a damn if it makes sense, it just needs to sound cool to non english speaking japs.
>>321944194
did you play any of these games?
Guilty Gear is because powerful characters are called gears, and only one can feel guilt
Kingdom hearts is because in that game if you get kingdom hearts you win(????)
Bravely default is a game mechanic
>>321947801
The Witcher makes sense though. It's an occupation, and the protagonist is a witcher. It's no worse than something like Hitman. And it doesn't suffer from "two random words thrown together" like OP's. The Last Of Us is at least a phrase that is coherent. Find better examples.
>>321948243
If you think that's bad try looking up some light novel titles.
>>321948274
Don't know if this is a rumor or not but I heard RE was intended to be a Sweet Home remake.
>>321948243
They probably let LN authors write their titles
>>321944194
>Final Fantasy
Name was chosen as it was Square's last chance to not go under or something like that
>Kingdom Hearts
I know you likely haven't played Kingdom Hearts but it's the main point of the series, known as the heart of all worlds or something like that
>>321948392
>if you get kingdom hearts you win
it just kinda sounds like a card game when you put it that way
>>321944194
>Resident Evil
It's called Biohazard in Japan.
The reason why you see so much crazy English in games is the reason you see crazy English from japan in general. English is cool. It looks cool. It's fonts are cooler. It makes you game some exotic. Et cetera.
The thing you need to know is that japan aren't creating titles to appeal to foreigners; they are doing it to appeal to Japanese people, most of whom don't get what the fucks being said.
>>321947320
What's wrong with the .hack game names?
>>321945378
https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Dragon_Ball_Z:_Budokai_Tenkaichi
I think this game best illustrates this confusion. In the US, the game has a Japanese title because it sounds cool and exotic to an English speaker. In Japan, the game has an English title because it sounds cool and exotic to them.
>>321945030
So people only say shit in English in America because it sounds cool?
>>321944194
"Guilty Gear" is explained in Sol's ending in the first gamehe's the "guilty Gear", the prototype of a bunch of biological weapons.
Chrono Trigger makes perfect sense, like at a glance.
Final Fantasy sounds cool in English, same with Resident Evil (sounds like a horror movie title).
Nep, Infinite Undiscovery, and Bravely Default (this one has always bothered me) don't get a pass though.

Because japanese culture developed in a tiny-ass island isolated from the rest of the world meanwhile western culture developed since ancient Greek and had great artist, scientist and philosophers.
You can't ask them to have the same ability to create titles if they lack the fundaments.
>>321944194
I can't believe you've failed to mention Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance.
Western titles are just as edgy and retarded if not worse

It's the same thing for American porn titles. People just want to know what they're going to watch in great detail.
Because the japanese pull thematics out of thin fucking air.

Holy shit, that sounds like a real game.
>>321944194
Unknown words are exotic and cool see "Daikatana".
>>321944194
Final Fantasy was named so because Square was on the verge of bankruptcy when they made the first one. It was titled that because it was their "final fantasy" that would make or break them. Turned out to be insanely popular and they stuck with it.

You're pretty retarded tbqhwy senpai and to compare these titles to shit like "Bravery Default" is laughable, become an hero if you want my advice
>>321949857
I don't even know. They just tried to make 3D mean something I guess.
>>321949573
It doesn't. It's just a trend with LNs. Long names give the "what the fuck, lol" factor on the bookshelf and get people interested out of curiosity. It's kinda overplayed now, and honestly a little annoying. It's pretty much a dead horse getting beaten now.
The joke is over, we get it, look at how funny you are for purposely substituting your title with a watered down synopsis if the story while making it as drawn out as possible without actually being a synopsis. Yes, I made sure to draw that last sentence out as long as possible to prove a point, it would make a perfect LN title. The sentence before this as well.

Most Japanese games have English titles both over here as well as back there. Even shit like Super Mario Bros. is in English, mostly in part because the Japanese think the language is really cool to the point where they drop it on everything. They even sell shirts that say shit like 'condensation'.

Fate is the name of the series.
Kaleid- comes from the Kaleidoscope, which is the magical artifact the Kaleidosticks are based off of.
Liners are powerful magical entities in Nasu's works. Examples are ghost liners and ether liners.
Prisma connects back to the Kaleidoscope, and also serves as part of Ilya's magical girl name.
Ilya is Ilya's name.

Nope. For pretty much all of them that is literally what they're called in Japanese. The only exception on that list is probably Resident Evil which is called Biohazard in Japan. Japs are dumb in that they think English words sound cool, it's like if a westerner made a game called Sushi Machi just because they thought it sounded cool.

Supposed to be a mashing of two phrases. "Gone to his last reward" and "Virtue is its own reward".

>>321949786
Its called Dragon Age because it takes place during the Dragon Age since dragons had just appeared for the first time not to long before the actual story began.
Grand Theft Auto shouldn't be too hard. Its the name of the crime of stealing cars.
Bioshock is somewhat of a holdover title. THe previous game was System shock which involved computers and robots and shit. Earlier in Bioshocks development, everything was a lot more organic. Like living organisms bound with technology. Vendors and computers and stuff would have living organic interfaces. The liquid in the hacking minigame is blue because originally it was you linking Eve to whatever the creature was in the device so it would do what you wanted it to.
Saints Row takes place on the street Saint's Row. At least the first one does, most of SR2 takes place outside that neighborhood, and SR 3 and 4 are in another city altogether, but it makes sense for the first two games.
Neverwinter is the location of the game

I might be pulling this out of my ass, but I wanna say that the reason they didn't call it biohazard in the west was due to licensing issues. I think there might have been a band or movie with the same name so they couldn't call it that.

I would send you to school, kiddo, but you are probably still on vacations.
Bravely Default's title kind of explains what the story is about, though. It's not Default as in the normal option, it's Default as in a failure to fulfill an obligation.
You have to be brave enough not to do what you think you're supposed to in order to get the best ending. Meanwhile, if you do what you think you should, you get a good ending, but not the best one.
And, ironically, the function in the game called Default is named so because it's a non-action, thus the "normal" action, so it uses the other meaning of Default.
>>321944194
Nah man, you're just retarded. First thing in titles - sound cool and good. Catchy.
Second thing - meaning.
> Bravely Default
It represents two things. One, a bunch of teens from all walks of life are thrown together and have to face their fears and fight against a horde of monsters and men in order to save the world from falling apart. They are the Bravely Defaults.
Second, it's literally the mechanics of the game, brave and default.
> Resident Evil
It's somewhat metaphoric to the evil that lurks within everyone, the Virus being that evil manifested. The 1st game was also based in a mansion if that helps. And it sounds cool. Jap version is BioHazard btw.
> Final Fantasy
It was literally Square's last chance to make a comeback. The company's future depended on it. This was the final nail in the coffin to Fantasy RPGs if they failed. The 'Final Fantasy'. Yes it's kinda silly we are at the 15th mainline iteration and it's still Final Fantasy but at this point it's brand recognition to the franchise that made Squeenix top dog.

>First Fantasy 15

It was some dude that one a contest, even capcom hated the name at first
Yeah Resident Evil is a dumb name.
They should have called it House of the Dead.

>>321951750
>>321952404
>>321955535
Doesn't change the fact that they all literally sound like something off of a random noun generator.
Dark Souls doesn't make perfect sense but the Japanese name of the title is Dark Soul, singular.
>>321955784
But it takes place in a mansion.
>>321944194
Random combinations of vaguely familiar English words sound cool to Japanese speaks. Devs/publishers just combine words they find in the dictionary, and/or make awkward puns that don't really translate.
My favourite is Melty Blood Actress Again Current Code
>>321955856
What makes you say that? I find them pleasant enough. There's nuance to the words, Resident evil is a phrase.
How does Serious Sam or Just Cause make more sense?
> word generator
Niceme.me
>>321955784
I suppose a title with more style than substance would fit most japanese games, now that I think about it.
>>321956209
How does Just Cause not make sense? It literally describes the game.
>>321944864
Dark Souls is jap faggot.
>>321955227
It's called Project Zero in Europe, in Japan it's just Zero.
>>321956357
So does Bravely Default or Kingdom Hearts.
It also sound like something off a word generator.
Theatrhythm, which is a "clever" pun that does not scan in English and just seems weird.
>>321956209
How does Serious Sam not make sense as a title? It's the protagonists nickname, kinda like Buffalo Bill or the Bloody Baron. You're grasping so hard it's ridiculous.
>>321956075
Mansion of the non existent?
>>321944194
>>Resident Evil
Because the evil was resident in the Mansion
And furthermore:
The evil/virus was resident inside people.
it's a better title that just "Bio Hazzard" atleast Resident Evil has a bit of depth to it.
>>321956749
But everybody in there exists, in it's context, of course.
>>321955856
Welcome to modern nomenclature: Its not limited to just the Japs. Gears of War? Halo? God of War? Warhammer 4dk?
Even ancient literature is guilty of abusing its nomenclature over and over. Odyssey. Gallic Wars. City of God. Natural History. Concerning Military Matters. Celestial Hierarchy. They were very blunt and very dry about its subject matter with no attempt to hide it. Or just named after the protagonist: Heracles, Electra, Helen, Ion, Medea.
>>321956628
Its a combination of "Theater or "Theatrical" and "Rhythm."
>>321956209
"The United States invasion of Panama, codenamed Operation Just Cause, was the invasion of Panama by the United States in December 1989, during the George H.W. Bush administration, and ten years after the Torrijos–Carter Treaties were ratified to transfer control of the canal from the United States back to Panama by the year 2000. During the invasion, de facto Panamanian leader, general, and dictator Manuel Noriega was deposed, president-elect Guillermo Endara sworn into office and the Panamanian Defense Force dissolved."
>>321956843
Biohazard is a better title but had trademark issues and Resident Evil is too established for them to change it now.
>>321956552
You stupid, son? 'Just cause' is a legal term. Even if it wasn't it still makes grammatical sense. Bravely Default doesn't make sense on its own.
>>321956941
>Biohazard is a better title
I disagree but you're entitled to your opinion
>>321957041
Well, it's a title that makes fucking sense in the context of the game series.
>>321956917
Wait, so you're comparing "Halo" and "God of War" to "Bravery Default"? How does that work?
Please just admit that Japanese games have garbage engrish titles

Just Cause also works on two levels. What hes doing has a Just Cause.
But you can also dick around in the game, Just (be)Cause
>>321956552
That's so fucking stupid, "Just Cause" is something that people in the real world actually use in real actual conversations unlike "Bravery Default"
But I really liked how you Bravery Defaulted that argument though
>>321944194
There is history behind the final fantasy name.
Can you retards please leave 4chan?
>>321957116
Bravely Default makes as much sense as God of War does. Again: Welcome to modern nomenclature.
Personally, I'd prefer the games to be called "Kratos" "Master Chief" "Terra" "Cloud" "Squall" and so forth.
>>321957101
>Well, it's a title that makes fucking sense
So does Resident Evil
>>321957254
Lavos as his power was the cause for time travel. Or Luca's teleportation machine meeting magic.
>>321955820
not the crunchiest chips in the bag
>>321957204
It's still makes sense unlike "Infinite Undiscovery" and "Bravery Default" which quite frankly is just butchery of the english language, you assblasted weeb
>>321950237
>Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes
how can a title be so ambiguously awesome and stupid at the same time?
>>321957312
What? God of War makes perfect sense. In the first game you are targeting Ares, the fucking God of War
Then after that Kratos is the new God of War.
You can easily tell what its about just from the name
>>321951527
Jesus christ this brings me back
>>321957413
>I expected a sarcastic remark.
Well color me gay
>>321957030
It makes grammatical sense, it works if you are aware of the context.
Just Cause is a nice dual meaning pun, but looks like an incomplete sentence out of context.
>>321957204
lol Silver Surfer dude? c'mon...
Would it be cooler if it was only Surfer ?
>>321957569
But you're not the God of War. Why don't they just call the gameMarsor Kratos instead?
>>321957312
God of War makes more sense out of context than Bravely Default though. It actually describes the game as well. Bravely Default doesn't make any fucking sense as a title.
>muh mechanics
Doesn't describe them.
>>321957652
You could say the same about almost any title that is a noun/noun with adjective
>>321957687
Nah dude it should be Awesome Silvery Latex-Clad Hero Surf;Ing
>>321957462
>Metal Gear Solid
sounds like a engineer/mechanic simulation game
>Ground Zeroes
about the 911 ground zero?
oh I get it, its a game about a hero making the towers stronger and able to resist the impact and not melt due to the jet fuel
>>321957748
It makes perfect sense with a moderate understanding of the story and the English language.
>>321944194
much worse is when they name shit in their game after german words
Imagine playing a game whose main character is named Victory Truth in your language
>>321944194
>"dinner is... Serfed."
>>321957737
In 2 and beyond you are.
And in 1 it describes the antagonist. Sort of like Diablo
But when you see the title God of War, you can assume its about a God of War. That combined with the greek letter Omega in the title, you can assume its involving Ares
>>321957748
>It actually describes the game as well. Bravely Default doesn't make any fucking sense as a title.
Did you play the fucking game?
>>321954802
Isn't this basically the plot to Remember Me?
>>321957769
Exactly. I'm not saying Just Cause doesn't make sense, I actually like the name. I'm just saying Bravely Default doesn't sound nonsensical in comparison. It's nog something you use in conversations alot but you don't really refer to old writings as Elder Scrolls either do you?
>>321957461
>bravery
retard
>>321957652
but out of context it doesn't mean anything, unlike just cause.
> looks like an incomplete sentence out of context.
Out of context it looks like its referring to the legal definition of the term.
Tetris
The perfect title.
>>321958060
Bravery's a word too anon
>>321958078
True enough.
The semi-colon is a common mark used to denote an ending of a line of code in programming. It was most likely taken from that aspect when the developers chose "Re;birth" seeing how the main characters are CPUs and what-not.
>tfw you realize what 358/2 meant
>>321958049
Bravely Default sounds like fucking word salad you trolling moron. There's literally no context in real life when "bravely default" could be a meaningful combination of words.
>>321957963
Funny you mention Diablo considering how close the the endings of GoW and Diablo are.
After the first game it would fall under grandfathered in and be ok. You also don't say the Greek letter when describing the game.
>>321958235
The game's name doesn't contain that word, however.
>>321958234
"fitting" for a perfect game
>>321944194
Guilty Gear isn't even bad, its the fucking sub titles they give their games.
Fucking "XRD" seriously? How does that even translate in Japanese?
>>321958336
Ehhh, the sequel to X and XX, and they didn't want to call it XXX for obvious reasons.
>>321949786
Dragon Age is because the new age was named Dragon
>>321958252
358 and a half days
Japan loves their awkward as fuck English puns that don't translate, like Dream Drop Distance (3D!) or Kirby's Triple Deluxe (3D!)
>>321958484
You spend a week as Roxas in KH2. 365-7=358.
Game takes place through two points of views.
>>321958282
Not in day to day conversation but you can make it work in context
> Man, I always take the railway because it's so easy, but I should really try hiking the place, it's good for my health
> Then maybe you should do that
> ... Nah. Too lazy
> How bravely default of you.
Just sayin'.
>>321956917
whats bad about god of war? Sounds pretty straight forward
>>321958656
I'd assume that person was autistic.
>>321958614
Well Dream Drop Distance kinda sorta translates if you squint.
Its about how deep into their dreams they reach. As the game goes on they go further and further in.
Or something.
Triple Deluxe is related to Kirby Superstar which was called Kirby Deluxe in Japan.
>>321944864
Let's be fair: Serious Sam is meant to be ironic. Nothing in SS is serious.
>>321954062
>Biohazard would sound like some shitty sewer mutants or medical outbreak game.
>medical outbreak game.
That's essentially what the games are. You're dealing with biological outbreaks that as the games go on the situations progressively get worse to the point of bio-terrorism. T-virus, G-virus, Plagas parasites, Ouroboros..etc.
>>321958484
The game takes 358 days. With Sora split between two people: Roxas and Xion
>>321958723
You can do so. It still wouldn't make the sentence itself nonsensical.
>>321958441
I'd play Guilty Gear XXX
Also how will they name the next one? Xrth?
>>321955227
>>321956396
Can we stop this nonsense that the Europe version is right? It's literally the only one that's wrong.

are you forgetting da:o problem was the blight and da2 was assassins creed templar shit?
>>321944194
this guy are sick
>>321960526
Well he got the reason for the name wrong. In the setting, they name each age based on some major event that happened around the beginning of it. The game takes place during the Dragon Age, because dragons resurfaced for the first time in hundreds of years right before the age began.
>>321960392
They are both shitty titles.
One is a literal translation of a lame pun that is completely lost in the translation, the other is stupid edgy shit not much different from something like CAMERA OF DEATH!
>>321944194
Complaining about Final Fantasy as a name is probably the biggest indicator you're a goddamn retard. The only complaint you can make is there are going to be XV of them.
>>321960798
Sure, but the European title is still the worst and also wrong.
They just put english words together that sound cool, though some of your examples are either untrue or actually have valid explanations.
Western Chrono Trigger would have been "Time Warrior and friends" or something boring.
It's cool in an ironic and "fun" way. I'm sorry you have no imagination and can't enjoy things.
>>321960954
I think Fatal Frame is worse. It something a 13 year old would come up with because it's "badass".
>also wrong
Neither are wrong or right.
