While that's true, the English letter S appears in the original Japanese versions as often as not.Naheal said:But most people in localization are normally native speakers...SimuLord said:I always thought of it as Engrish: The Japanese saw the S on the front of Superman's outfit and thought "OK, gaijin like S.

Someones been playing Radiant Dawn! It stands for Schutz and when it goes SS it stands for Schutzstaffel.SimuLord said:Perhaps the Japanophiles can riddle me this:
What's with the use of the letter S in ranking systems in Japanese games? Every time I've played one it's always seemed to be E, D, C, B, A, S for letter-grade rankings, and I JUST DUN GEDDIT!
At least Mario Kart makes a measure of sense, where if you do better than A, you get up to three stars, and It Is Always Stars. But S? The hell?
