The translation is questionable for sure. It certainly would be nice to have a more literal translation as the creators intended.

There are also other issues I have with the game as well such as some of the mini games being a bit long for their own good. Being mini games its easier to over look this though.

That being said, I can't recall a game I've played recently that invoked such a nostalgic feeling when playing it. If you didn't tell me the title of the game, I would tell you for sure this was a Suikoden game. As was intended. But I didn't think it would do it so well.

I would strongly recommend this to anyone that loves the Suikoden series. It is absolutely worth your time!
