Shaman gets – KAN (from the Japanese Kannagi, an alternate reading of the word 巫 — Miko, or “Shrine Maiden”, a Shinto Priestess.

I think the biggest hiccup in the translation is the mixup with the race names:

Human – 8/8/7/9/8/9
Elf – 7/10/10/6/8/6
Gnome (supposed to be Dwarf) – 10/6/10/11/6/7
Hotlet (supposed to be Gnome) – 7/7/12/9/8/7
Fairy (supposed to be Hotlet) – 6/6/5/7/12/15
Dwarf (supposed to be Fairy) – 5/9/9/5/14/9
Werebeast – 9/9/9/10/11/6
Dragonewt – 12/7/5/12/6/7
Devilish – 9/9/6/10/9/7

If you notice, it looks like the Gnome / Hotlet / Fairy / Dwarf ones were rotated 1 off. This would be a super easy fix — it only affects the character creation and character status windows.

While I am grateful, and think any fan of the dungeon-crawling genre should buy this title, it would be nice to get a patch in the future.

Menu options like “Friend is Call” and “It Uses” don’t make any sense and will scare away potential customers from what is probably a great game if the nonsensical translations can be ignored.

I’m really hoping this game is a success, spurring you to localize the other games, as it’s my favorite genre. I worry that some of the poor quality translations are going to be a hindrance in accomplishing that, though, if you don’t patch it.

The class abbreviations that appear in the character lists don’t coincide with the class names. I’m assuming this is just a localization issue. For example:

The “Entertainer” class is abbreviated as “Bar”. I’m assuming there was some internal debate whether to translate the class as Entertainer or Bard.

The “Hunter” class is abbreviated as “Ran”. Again, I’m assuming there was some disagreement whether to name the class Hunter or Ranger.

The “Brawler” class is abbreviated as “Ber”. Once again, I’m assuming you were considering naming the class “Berserker”.

The “Shaman” class is abbreviated as “KAN”, I think. I’m not sure what that’s supposed to stand for.

Also, some of the abbreviations are in all-caps and others are not. No big deal, but it would be nice to clean up these minor localization issues from a polish perspective if you have the opportunity to patch the game.

Also, I believe the manual has swapped the circle button and the “X” buttons. At least from what I can remember, every place in the manual that lists the circle button should really read “X” button and vice versa.
