As it happens, I'm quite well-versed in Ancient Greek and I know a fair bit of Latin as well. Hell, I've even dabbled in Old Norse, and my Hermóðr thread shows that I know more about it than you do. Sowwy Hermoor, but ancient languages are a strong point of mine. You're not going to win.You seem to think I care?? I don't get why you would like to learn those languages anyway. Since you don't appreciate the original works of fiction these cultures has created. You are so obessed with you blue hair chibi anime girl. And Final FAntasy VII, then why do you even care about these languages?
Also, we should be arrogant. The English did more to create the modern world than any other nation. Certainly more than Sweden did.Sure...sweden lost it's great power some 500 years ago. Maybe you are educated in this as well kudistos? Sweden was a superpower under Karl XII. Sweden controlled most of northern Europe. You can say what you want, but being arrogant because you ancestors liked to take colonies is idiotic. You should really think over your replies dude.
The name Alfred is of English originOf course it is, no one is saying it isn't. It's a english name, that derived from the norse original name of it. English is a new language that wasn't around when norse existed. Alfred is a version of the original norse name. Now stop it kudistos, you have lost this argument. Alfred is english name, but without the norse Alfread it would not have existed in the english language. Just as you would not have been able to build boats. The entire western civilization ows the norse vikings a lot and the greek civilization. In the end, everything the western civilization has got came from greece and scandinavia.
Alf = elf, red = plan/idea/counsel (it's a cognate with read). Therefore, Alfred = he who is counselled by elves. Or who is as wise as the elves. Or something like that.Btw that is not correct, and I was wrong on the breakdown of the word. It is orginally a viking name. You are correct on Alf red..but alf is elf in swedish. The original norse name is Ælfræd...AElf means elf. æd means råd. Council in english, Alfred is indeed english. But it comes from the norse name Ælfræd. Meaning it's not orginally english...and it means Elf Council. So you are wrong...you are so full of it.
As for Midgardsormr, didn't we have an argument about that a long time ago? And didn't you say the complete opposite? Nice backtracking Hermie-kun; this means that you agree with me grin
This is where I fundamentally disagree with Hermoor's criticism about FF7. I feel that yes it uses other stories and ideas and it references many mythologies but so do most stories.Yeah many modern works rips off the stories from the past. And sure they can be great...The lord of the rings is a book that has indeed ripped of A LOT of norse mythology and especialy finnish folklore. But at least it has many original parts in it. Final Fantasy VII rips off every culture out there...combining it with stuff that is cool for teens. And I'm not a fan of that at all. Especially since square is now milking it...everyone should be aware of the brainwashing and money milking that is going on. And that much of what holywood and games today are spewing out is a complete ripoff of other cultures stories.
PS: Seifer, I've heard that you could be a decent guy when you're not trolling forums. Really, if you don't want people thinking even lower of you, I would definitely suggest you don't team up with an idiot that everyone makes fun of. For your own sake, take my friendly advice. SmileySeifer is a good friend of mine, he would never backstab me, because I'm pointing out the obvious. American culture is ripping of other cultures around the world. And most people aren't even aware of it.
I dunno, I pretty much enjoyed the game a lot when I was 7. SmileyWe are all kids sweetheart...
Seifer is trying to (as I've gathered) maintain every reference and name concept from the original, even if that means that English speakers will have to do more googlizing.Aka he is preserving and protecting the original culture instead of turning it into English/American bullshit. I know that both Seifer and I are tired of Americans and Englishmen raping other cultures, you loose so much information if you change what doesn't sound cool in english into something that sounds cool but degrades the story or the characters.
