are you normal or did you note down the puns in the act 1 event quest to compare between localizations
#so the thing is i heard there would be puns so i switched my text language to spanish again
#and i caught 3 of them
#the first is the va-iew-vyastra one
#that one was pretty much the same in spa it was 'vayumatra' so i think it was just the 'matra' pun
#the second in en was apparently 'ground nuts'
#i find the spa one more related to the context of a.lbedo's suggestion to test out m.ondstadt native flora afterwards
#it's 'valbayas' instead and he said it's bc 'vayas al suelo' tal vez despues de comer demasiado
#i will admit that one coaxed an actual laugh out of me
#valberry in spa text is valbaya -> baya means berry
#but the pun is bc vaya and baya are pronounced almost the same way
#the 'b' in baya in this case is an approximate of /b/ bc it appears in intervocalic position
#and orthographic 'v' is pronounced as /b/ after a significant pause
#idr if he was speaking quickly at this time but yeah
#and 'vayas' is the 2nd person singular subjunctive form of 'ir' meaning 'to go'
#so the gloss would probably be 'you fell to the ground'
#bc she ate too many valberries
#the third in en was 'c.ollei lily/flower'
#in spa they did a diff pun and he said 'coleigas' como las colegas de c.ollei
#it's a cognate so 'colleague' and 'c.ollei'
#love these little changes in the localizations it makes me pay more attention to differences
#i also mainly use cn voiceover. sometimes i switch to en for certain characters
#i left the vo the same and boy was that a test of listening comprehension
#unfortunately i'm not as proficient there so i could only pick out certain words and phrases
#which was still fun ngl! i really took my time with this quest
#i played it late in the day too so that's why this is late-ish
#oh right and i was spiraling in the abyss earlier which put me in The worst mood but hey 36 stars we take those
#if you read this essay. why. but yw that was your localization infodump for the day
#unfortunately i cannot ramble about this anywhere so to the blog it goes
