Not even the people who were in it seemed to know that it was -false- information that they were -keeping- and enforcing.

Quote:Anyone else noticed the rather huge difference between the things Midgardsomr says in the japanese version and in the english version?
For those who don't speak japanese, there is pretty much 3 times as much text than in the english version. Also, he mentions a number of rather important things that are at most barely hinted at in the english version.
1.He did not roar, but one of his seven sons did. He was merely awakened by it.
2.The people of Ishgard commited some kind of sin in the past, and are now about to commit another one. That's why the dragons will go to war. I believe he also makes a reference to the Ascians controlling them, but I couldn't quite catch it.
3.The whole Crystal scene takes a quite different air on. While in the english he basically removed the Blessing of Light (which we got in addtion to the Echo), he seals it in the japanese and mentions that even if he didn't do it, the "Shadow" would've done it eventually. Also, the whole thing is supposed to be a test.
4.Speaking of test, the little minion we get? That's Midgardsomr watching us, to see if we will follow the same way as other humans, and commit sins without care. Though you could've probably figured that out yourself.
5.He does mention that the war cannot be stopped, but that we may be able to influence it and at the very least make sure it doesn't get that much worse.
6.It seems he tests us because he thinks that that is Hydalins intention and he agrees with that. He seems to be on good footing with her.
So yeah, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but that changes quite a few things, right? I haven't continued the story yet, but it seemed weird that there would be such a difference.
Also, I would be grateful if someone could provide a transcript of the jap & eng scenes, so we can compare them easier.
Fern tells us why there is a difference between the Japanese and English translations, and more about Dragon language here.
