Oh. In that case, something along the lines of "As clear as water," "serenity," or something like that would work. The word 明鏡止水 in Japanese means basically "like a shining mirror and still water," meaning clear and calm, basically.

For example, it's used like so : http://jisho.org/sentences?jap=%E6%9...AD%A2%E6%B0%B4

The Japanese says, "Watashi no kokoro wa meikyoushisui da." "My heart is 明鏡止水." As you can see, the English translation is "My mind is as bright and clean as a stainless mirror." It's basically a term used to describe inner peace, purity, et cetera.

Maybe, unless it clashes with another skill, it could be translated as "Calm Mind," or something along those lines.

"Inner Tranquility" would probably fit. "Zen" might work depending on how you used it seeing as how one usage can be used to describe a meditative state.

Tranquility sounds like a nice name for it.

Oh I see, the turtle uses that skill to make 5 people around him calm themselves so they can concentrate better, as focus increases hit rate in this game that skill also increases hit rate.

So i think i will go in the lines of Calm Mind or Mind concentration , what do you think?

Soothing Mind or Tranquility would be my vote.

I'm on the Korin wagon aswell. First and foremost, it's the internationally (english) -name for him, and second of all Karin is a name for females.. the cat is male.


On a side-note (I haven't tested the new language patches yet) -I think some of the translations for certain classe's abilities should be changed. First Class and their two sub classes to go under the knife: Warrior, Dark Warrior and Shadow Knight.

Mystic Attack: Seing as it isn't an attack, I think it could be named something like; Mystic Grappling.
Skill names like: Increase LP, EP boost and LP effectivenes boost should all be changed to something different in my opinion.
Personally I think too many skills overall have the name Roar and Curse in them. Would it really hurt to name / add some of them with; Shout or Cry? (Basically the same thing as Roar)
Big Mouth Energy Wave sounds like the actual mouth is big rather than the energy wave itself.
The skill: Great Defense doesn't award any defensive upsides at all, but an offensive one instead (Soul - Energy attack) -and should therefore atleast be named; Great Soul or something.
Disastrous Blow isn't really anything disatrous at all. I think calling it: Dimishing Blow would be more fitting, especially as it decreases attack speed and so on the targeted oponent.
Last but not least, I think that Life Leech would suit better than Life Steal.

That'll be my covering for the personally name-changes I would do to these classes. I'll try and cover all the other classes another time.

If you're unsure about how people would take to the translation names you could always start a poll in a separate thread like Raklight did.

We should probably make a separate thread as a whole for skill re-translations, instead of cluttering this thread. :P


But I vote for "Calm Mind" or "Clear Mind" for the Turtle skill. As a party buff, it sounds the most appropriate.

Probably split them up by classes so that they don't end up as cluttered as this as well

明鏡止水 Literal translation: Clarity( Or Mirror)stop water.
I would personally say, "Peaceful Mind", "Peace of Mind", "Clear Mind" as said, and if you really want a simple version, "Clarity"

Yeah, a seperate thread for each class + 1 of the 2 subclasses would be a wise idea. I might start one for both the Dark Warrior and Shadow Knight then :-)
