When dealt with, delete, do not archive.


 * Confirm number of parts matched for each "Avatar comment".
 * Confirm whether manipulating your clock affects the -3/hr penalty.
 * Confirm whether n_l resets or maxes out.
 * p326: Note about getting letters from the same friend and ensemble. Should probably translate.
 * Translate p329 Card prizes - Commands and all go on their pages; make general list explanation here.
 * Translate p335 section based on Prize Blox - list on relevant command pages, not here.
 * Explain floor code specifications within the section; most of it will link to the actual system sector page.
 * Add short explanation of "Genre" and "Parts replaced" to Avatar Parts section.
 * Add column listing all parts used in each ensemble.
 * Add to Data-Riku's boss page that the bugged version is LV99 - source p326.

I'll work on the translations. Shard, can you please test the 3hr penalty and n_l questions (for n_l, you should be getting viruses every time once you have 200 letters total, which you have; if not, then estimate how often you get viruses, I assume about 50%). DTN, I need you to tell me exactly how far you've gotten with the Avatar comment thing. It should realistically take two hours to complete, so if you don't have that time, you need to tell one of us.

Avatar Parts last copyedit

I'm going to go ahead and say that I didn't confirm the nihongo for each one with the Ultimania, but the ones I did were right (except Sora B at the beginning). Still, they can't be that far off, since they are all legible.

I relaxed the literalization of "の" to be treated as an adjectival form for some cases (basically, whenever the dub used it that way). I hope that's acceptable, since it removes a lot of mostly useless "lit" sections.

Wanpi/su: translate as "Sundress" (best english translation I could come up with based on knowledge of clothing terms), or allow give and take for whatever type of dress the dub thinks it's using? Or translate phonetically as One-piece in all cases?

Same thing with "Uwagi", though that has a much more acceptable translation as the generic "Top".

Facial Hair: Japanese really doesn't separate the various types, so it just feels pedantic to me to use "lit" when the only problem is that there isn't an exact Japanese word for that type of facial hair. I'd like to remove the lit tags for those listed below, where applicable (possibly not Eraqus).

Boushi: In some cases, Kyappu or Hatto is used for Cap and Hat, and "Bou" is usually translated as Cap. Thus, I'm fine with modifying the lit for the W Mushroom and Seifer, but also fine with leaving it how it is.

Piasu: Studs and Piercings and Earrings of that sort are just called "Piasu" in nihongo (there doesn't appear to be a dedicated word for "stud", and all variants I can find use piasu). However, we translate "Ability Piasu" as Ability Earring, not the dub's "Ability Stud". Can we let Stud slide here, and on the Ability Stud page?

Boa-dzuke: Based on image searches, I feel pretty confident that lined could be reasonable. However, there are no direct translations on the web, and the closest I could come to an accurate translation would be "Boad Boots".

Finally: the comments with Goofy D's Mouth and Luxord's Goatee. Does the Ultimania have the wrong order, according to the game, or do we?

20:37, 4 April 2011 (EDT) I can't help much with the translation, but the order of Goofy D's Mouth and Luxord's Goatee is indeed wrong, I messed up. --ShardofTruth 17:48, 12 April 2011 (EDT)

 * Although dictionaries define "Wanpi" simply as dress, it specifically refers to dresses of a certain length; the closest analog I could find in English is the sundress (again, I am by no means experience with female clothes).
 * I'm good with your take on uwagi and hige.
 * "Boushi" is kind of a bigger hat, while "bou" is a smaller hat, from what I've seen. (Donald was a mistake, we can fix it).
 * So, are you good with translating "Piasu" as both Earring and Stud (since they are both translated as piasu?)? Here and on Ability Stud?
 * As far as I can tell, yes, it is a feather boa. The thing is that those boots are simply lined boats, from what I saw on google. I agree that I'd be more comfortable calling them boa'd boots, though.
