the names are so terrible...
the names in korean are
기억을 찾는 자 (The one who looks for his memory, alternatively Seeker of Memory) translated to:
Memory Seeker (I can live with this)
비밀기관 특수요원 (Secret service special agent, quite literally.) translated to:
Secret Agent (Pretty straightforward)
자유를 추구하는 자 (The one who seeks his freedom, alternatively Seeker of Freedom) translated to:
Captain Freedom (Corny...)
경계에 서있는 자 (The one who is at a divide) translated to:
Border Patrol.
What is wrong with you, Nexon? Google translate translates this as "Standing on the border," and it appears that Nexon AM took it quite literally. If you take even a second to look at Xenon's questline, it's clear that he is constantly between two opposing forces - Black Wings vs. Resistance, Machine vs. Humanity. Personally, I would rename it something like "The One Who is Divided" or even "Destiny Divided" as corny as it may sounds... beats Border Patrol.
마지막 귀환자 (The Last one to Return) translated to:
Last One Home (This is fine, but I would prefer a more direct translation from the korean root.)
My second gripe is with the skill names (As always) - Beam dancing?? WHY?? Blade Dancing is clearly a better name..
Instant Shock should be Instant Shirk, as discussed on SouthPerry before - "Shirk" means to dodge or avoid, and that's literally what the skill does...
I believe it's the first time I've done this, and I know it's a hassle for her, but @
Girasol; could you please maybe talk the translators into possibly changing the names? I know it was done for Phantom, and I don't think it would be too hard in this case to at least change the name of the 4th Job Medal... Xenon has been a class I have truly been waiting for and I can't stand the fact I would be wearing a medal that says "Border Patrol" like some kind of 8 year old joke. "Destiny Divided" or "The One Who is Divided" would be a better name than "Border Patrol" in describing the struggle that Xenon has gone through in his storyline, for sure.
I understand you guys are probably under huge amounts of stress from the bugs from the Unleashed patch, and I also understand that this might not even get to you... But it is truly a wish of mine to see good names and translations for this character I have been waiting for.
