Talk:Spell List

Just some ideas; need some feedback

There are two translations of Dragon Quest V, and a mostly complete one for Dragon Quest VI. So which names do we use for the spells?

Dragon Quest V

Partial Translations/DeJap
Byuu
Original Kanji
All three

Dragon Quest VI

No Prgress
Original Kanji
Both

There are some spells which although they have the same name, they have different effects in different games (a good example being Blizzard - an enemy group spell in Dragon Warrior IV and Dragon Warrior III (GBC version), but an all enemies spell in Dragon Warrior VII and Partial Translations' version of Dragon Quest V).

I think we should have a seperate list for the skills - those found in Dragon Quest V, VI, VII, and VIII. Zenithian 15:14, 18 December 2007 (EST)

Feedback

I would say go with the translation patches that are most complete, because people would more likely have played them. Also, I'm wondering if the English translations used in the GB/C ports should have their own section?

I'm also curious as to whether or not you think it would be a good idea to have the Japanese spell names in English if they can be. For example, "Dibainsuperu" is supposed to be "Divine Spell" and "Meirusutoromu" is supposed to be "Maelstorm."
