Kingdom Hearts Letters  
Dear KHU,

Please to be posting translations that actually make sense. Or at the very least, attempt correct sentence structure. If your translations would embarrass Engrish.com, they're not very useful.

Squinting at the screen,
- Lynx


Dear Xion,

Who or what in the hell are you. I am trying very, very hard to withhold judgment on you until the game is released, because judging a character before you even meet them is just full of stupid. People did the same thing with Namine, and it was also full of stupid. But you're making this kind of difficult on me, what with having a Keyblade and a name that sounds like it was culled from ff.net and a possible connection with Kairi and asjfdkslfjalk. Please, don't disappoint me.

Warily yours,
- Lynx


Dear KH: Birth by Sleep,

YESSSS, you're going to include lots on the Princesses of Heart! THANK you! And we're already seeing shots of Jacques and Lucifer from Cinderella's world? Very awesome! Tiny!Ven looks to be cute. (Or I guess that would be Ventus). I am looking forward to you the most, and yet you're the last game to come out. Fate is cruel that way. But at least I now have a PSP ready and waiting!

Excited for you the most,
- Lynx


Dear Aqua,

FINALLY they're releasing some info on you. Geez, took them long enough. Ven and Terra are certainly made of awesome, but I like me some trios, dammit.

Hope to see more in the near future,
- Lynx


Dear Japan,

Screw you and your torrid love affair with cell phones.

Punching grudgingly at my cheap Nokia,
- Lynx


Dear Nomura,

If the darkness-looking monsters in BBS are actually called "Unbirths" in the final game, I am going to fly to Japan and punch you in the face with a Penis Hydra.

May just end up punching you anyway,
- Lynx

Hey can I get a link to these pictures....I feel like I'm missing out every time you squeal about them .__.

Man I'm going to get a PSP next summer or maybe for Xmas...BBS just sounds way too awesome to pass up...

Yay more info on Aqua!

Ditto on what [livejournal.com profile] bouncy_erbear said. Where do you get this information? :o

From KHU! They have some gameplay summaries, screenshots and scans of sketches. :D

LOL I know, KHU's translations are just screwed right up. Why can't people translate Japanese to English and not Japanese to Japilish.

I'm in the same boat with Xion...

I CANT WAIT FOR BBS OMFG. I'd given it a 2010 release date for some reason XD so I'm like "2009!? YAY!" Knowing Japan, it'll be like "December 2009!" and I'll want to kill someone.

Aqua looks awesome ;.; <3

"Unbirths" ... I heard them referred to as something else somewhere o.O;. Started with an A...

I DON'T KNOW. D: You'd figure they'd look at the translation and go, "Wait, this makes no sense."

fdskfjla I hope we don't have to wait until 2010! ;_; Since we'll probably already be waiting until summer 2009 or something for the over9000Days game.

Yeeeeees! ♥ fdskldsfj her outfit is coolness. I think it'd be awesome if we ever saw some joint attack thing with all three of them.

Yeah, I heard they were called "Ambers" as well. I was mostly referring to the drawing of one that's on the same sketch page as Aqua.

Dear KHU,

Trying to translate from Japanese to English too literally will mean that the English will make no bloody sense. I'm pretty poor at translating Spanish to English and vice versa but even I try to take that into account. There is a reason why the Balamb cafeteria sold hot dogs in the English of FF VIII when it apparently sold bread in the Japanese version.

Me.

Oh come now, Lynx, not even Nomura deserves to be punched in the face with a PENIS hydra...

Although I think that if we didn't feed the Nagaku for a few days, and then let him loose in Nomura's office, that'd be fair.

I FEEL THE SAME WAY ABOUT XION OMG. I *really* hope she has a decent explanation so we aren't going "wtf wtf wtf?!" about her.

LMAO I actually didn't catch Nagaku for a sec, there. XD

I'm reeeeeeeally hoping so, too. Namine confused the heck outta me until I actually got to the end of CoM/beginning of KH2 and all, but damned if I can figure out HOW they're going to explain this one.

...

Unbirths. Unbirths. Unbirths. Unbirths. Unbirths.

Unbirths.

I THOUGHT THIS WAS AN E-RATED GAME. THE HELL.

...I actually heard they were called Ambers. Can't tell if that's worse than... Unbirths. Makes it sound like abortioned Heartless. o.o;

Yeah, I heard that too, which is equally strange but AT LEAST NOT AN UNBIRTH. GHHHHKKK. Actually, the word was scribbled next to a picture of one, so maybe it's...like a Dusk, when everyone assumed that all Nobodies were called Dusks?! I don't know!

CLEARLY THEY READ THE PENIS HYDRA FIC AND THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA.

Also....Xion? And a keyblade? What? Really?

AT LEAST THEY DIDN'T READ THE BLOOD GAME AND THINK THE SAME THING?!

Yup, apparently #14 is named...Xion. And has a Keyblade. Or a fake one, I dunno. I'm gleaning what I can from KHU translations. ;_;

Xion = MARY-SUE. WHERE ARE YOOU.

And watch. Her Keyblade'll explode into a mass of puppies, unicorns, and Pee-Wee Herman.
