Why nip games always have retarded names?

Examples:
Dark Souls
Bravely default
Final fantasy
Guilty gear
Deadly premonition
Kingdom hearts
>>
Better than every game ending in "craft"
>>
>>343839064
The American versions would suck. Always trying to fit the title with the game so dumb consumers know what they're going to buy.

Souls of the Dark
Heroes of Light (It's the same game as FF)
The Heroes of Light
The Guilty
The Raincoat Killer
The Heartless
>>
>>343839064
Most of those actually make sense in context, though.
>>
Japanese games tend to choose titles that are directly relevant to story of the game
>>
>>343839064
western games also have retarded names

>Gun
>Red Dead Revolver
>Oddworld
>Anvil of Dawn
>>
Because for Nips, languages like English, French and German are decorative languages.

Have you seen them using third world-tier and ugly-sounding languages like Arabic, Vietnamese, Thai, Tagalog and Russian? Of course, they don't. Their obsession on the Eternal Anglo, frogs and New Germans have prevalent among them since the Meiji era.

shouldn't dark souls be renamed to darkness in the land of wind and ghosts?

They all make sense to me

Bravely Default is lame but Bravely Second is quite intriguing, go figure.

Why the fuck would you pick those games as the representatives of shitty names for Japanese games? There's so many other games you could have picked.

>The Maiden Rape Assault - Violent Semen Inferno
>Yume Miru Kusuri: A Drug That Makes You Dream
>Megatagmension Blanc + Neptune VS Zombies
>Atelier Repeating Syllablesbles: The Alchemist of Who-Gives-A-Fuck

They're not native English speakers, anon. Their language is shit and incompatible with normal languages.
>>
>>343841149
No, because the Dark Soul is an actual object in the game.

Final Fantasy comes from the fact it was Square's swan song at the time, and the name just stayed.

Also, refer to Gen 1's pokemon names, English is a novelty for the japanese

Both east and west have stupid video game names.

Dragon Quest makes perfect sense considering the first game was literally a quest to defeat a dragon and save the princess, then defeat the Dragon Lord.

TMS#FE's western name is actually literal and its initials are SMT backwards, so it could have been made to reference it was supposed to be SMT x FE
>>
>>343842369
There's just 1 Dark Soul though. So Dark Souls isn't accurate.

It also isn't actually involved in the game itself. Hell, darkness isn't even an element until the DLC.
>>
what's wrong with dark souls?
>>
Don't forget Demons's Souls.

They sound cool tbqh.


I mean, if you could name a game you were making with any two-three words, wouldn't try to give it a cool sounding name even if it didn't make sense?
>>
>>343839742
The Raincoat Killer sounds like a great name for a pulp mystery novel.
>>
>>343843048
UNiB's name is kinda cool untim you read "in Birth" with the entire name.
>>
>>343845263
Say "Demon's Souls" out loud. Did you pronounce the s in "Demon's"? You can't pronounce it properly without paying attention to it.
>>
>>343844529
manus fragmented into various women who all wanted royal dicking

so its still dark souls

Lol seriously. What in the fuck kind of name is that?

Exactly. That's why we had to change it to Dragon Warrior
>>
>>343851181
I'm surprised no one's brought up "revengeance" yet
>>
>>343839064
final fantasy is named final fantasy because square enix were going through some financial problems and had planned it to be their last and final game
the game turned out to be a success that saved the company
>>
>>343839064
Bad example. Let me try.
Ever17: The End of Infinity
Good People Die
Danganronpa
Super Danganronpa 2: Sayonara Zetsubou

funnily enough most of the original devs, no longer employed by Squeenix, worked together on a game a couple years back and do you know what they called it?

Every single person has a shard of the dark soul in them. It's what makes humans, human. You collect multiple Dark Soul shards called "humanity" in teh game.

>>343844709
>>343846663

I just call that game "Demon Souls".
