Jeff Paine: GH470 (boy) has the same fortune as male CASTs, and I'm assuming the butler does too

<center>''This page is about Photon Fortune, the daily changing stat that causes stars to appear near a character's name. For the [[Types|Type]]-based hidden stat that literally means 'luck' and only affects the critical hit rate, please refer to [[CHR]]. ''</center>

Photon Fortune, also called ''Holy Light'' and popularly just referred to as ''Luck'' (originating from fan translations), is an attribute through which randomized events and processes in the game are modified. Every day at 12:00 AM ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTC%2B9 JST] for the Japanese servers, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_Standard_Time_Zone PST] for the and English and Xbox 360 ones), each of the eight possible race/gender combinations is assigned a value from zero to three (0 to 3), where zero is the most unlucky and three is the luckiest; these assignments are the same each day for all servers. Luck appears next to the character name, as seen in the images to the right.

[[Partner machines]] have the same Luck as [[CAST]] characters, but currently this isn't of any use.

It is possible to change your Photon Fortune for a period of time at the [[shrine maiden]] located in the [[Shitenkaku]] lobby on [[Neudaiz]].

== Effects of Photon Fortune ==
* Slightly increases success rate when grinding weapons.
* Increases enemy drop rate.
 
Although many of these are still widely believed by the general playerbase, '''none''' of the following are affected by Photon Fortune:
* Quality of drops
* Chance for super-rare items (such as S-rank weapon boards) to drop
* Item drops from boss boxes
* Synthing success rate or attribute percentage
* Rare spawn appearance rate
* [[Casino Voloyal]] slot machine odds

Jeff Paine: /* Dark Falz */ forgot to sign

== Stag ==
This has been bothering me for a while. Am I correct to assume that Stag Cutralli is a mistranslation, and not a deliberate change? I checked the JP wiki, which lists スタッグカットラリ (SUTAGGUKATTORARI), but I know no Japanese, so that looks to me like it could be either Cutlery or Cutralli (or Cutrary, or Cutreri, etc.). I do see that the JP name has no space in it, though, since there's no interpunct. Anyway, could either Espio or Mewn or another moonrunes reader indulge my curiosity on this? Thanks. --[[User:Qwerty|Qwerty]] 14:35, 12 May 2008 (CDT)
* I'm kind of on the fence about this one. As far as the Japanese name goes, it's the same for both ''PSU'' and ''PSO''. By that, the Cutralli could be grouped together with things like Jigo Booma and Shato in that they're not technically wrong, but just inconsistent with previous localizations. However, since "cutlery" is a real word (unlike "Shato" and "Jigo Booma"), I'm more inclined to say it's a mistranslation. - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 14:45, 12 May 2008 (CDT)
* I think it's a mistranslation, it's been done too literally. I definately think that カットラリ is a rendering of the English word 'cutlery.' Oh, and from what I can tell, Japanese is weird about using the interpunct, I'm not sure if there's set rules for it but just because one isn't there, doesn't mean that there shouldn't be a space in the transliteration. - [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 16:27, 12 May 2008 (CDT)

== Re: Anti/Reverser ==
In the Japanese version, Reverser is known as Regene (レジェネ) while Antimates are known as Antimates. - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 09:47, 12 May 2008 (CDT)

== Dark Falz ==
* It's not a mistranslation. The kana is ダーク・ファルス (DAAKU FARUSU) which does not transliterate to Dark Force at all, that would probably be ダーク・フォース (DAAKU FOOSU). The Japanese Phantasy Star games have always used this name and Dark Force only appears in the US versions of 2-4, I believe. I assume it's not a mistranslation in those games but rather a deliberate change by the translation team of those games for a western audience. Regardless, Dark Falz is the accepted name by now. - [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 04:14, 11 May 2008 (CDT)
** I've always heard that Dark Falz is supposed to be Dark Force. Fan translations of the original PS name him Dark Force. PS also had some other mistranslations (some due to a lack of room), such as Alis = Alisa and Lassic = LaShiec. Not to mention the fact that Dark Force makes a lot more sense than Dark Falz. [[User:Jeff Paine|Jeff Paine]] 21:00, 11 May 2008 (CDT)
** I don't think making sense comes into it - this is a game series developed and written by Japanese people whose English (or Engrish, if you prefer) isn't exactly going to be on the level of ours - not to mention that the name does not have to make sense. You say that fan translations of the original game name him Dark Force, but they're not official translations, and they too are not above error. I have already explained above the differences between rendering Dark Falz and Dark Force in kana. Another thing to note is that the Japanese data files for AoI refer to 'dark_fals' - so it doesn't appear that even the developers consider the name to be Force. As for other mistranslations/changes in the original Phantasy Star... well, the entire Phantasy Star classic series is a testimony to the terrible state of game localization at that time. Names were regularly changed in all four games, planet names were inconsistent, and let's not forget 'Paradin Blow' in PSIV. I stand by my point that Falz is not a mistranslation at all, and that Force is an invention of the US games. Both names are arguably valid in the classic PS context, but PSO Dark Falz and PSU Dark Falz are both seperate from the Phantasy Star Falz/Force. - [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 07:54, 12 May 2008 (CDT)
** Blah blah double edit, but I'd like to get Espio's opinion on all this, since his Japanese is far better than my own. - [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 07:56, 12 May 2008 (CDT)
** Considering the correction notes for Go Bajilla, Jigo Booma, Shato, Yasminakov 0002, Agtaride and Defbaride, it seems somewhat contradictory to see "Dark Force" argue the exact opposite as a "correction". Perhaps, where relevant, we need to mention what JP did (e.g. De Ragan and "De Rolei" were changed from PSO, and Dark Falz was not. But for us, "De Rol Le" was changed too). - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 08:18, 12 May 2008 (CDT)
* Mewn's right. Were its name intended to be "Dark Force," then in Japanese it should've been ダーク・フォース (da-ku fo-su). I just found a video of the Falz battle in the Japanese version of ''PSI'' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngcycp6Y4UM) to verify the name, and it is indeed ダーク・ファルス (da-ku farusu). Now, if one were to be literal, ファルス could be translated as "farce" or even "phallus" (seriously, not making that up), but I doubt "Dark Penis" is what the developers intended. Anyway, when ''PSI'' was localized, the boss in question was named "Darkfalz," with its name changing in English to "Dark Force" with the following three games, despite remaining ダーク・ファルス in the Japanese versions. So technically "Dark Force" is an official name, but the ''original'' name would've been "Darkfalz." - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 09:11, 12 May 2008 (CDT)
* As a sidenote, I checked it out for myself and it appears it's only in PSU that the kana is ダーク・ファルス, in everything else (I checked PS1-2, the remakes of those, and PSO) it appears to be ダークファルス. Doesn't really change my argument since both mean 'Dark Falz' (although the latter could be 'Darkfalz'), but I thought it interesting they changed it slightly for PSU. - [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 11:52, 12 May 2008 (CDT)
* I noticed that you changed the article, Jeff Paine, but I disagree with Dark Falz even being in the article as a translation error. Not to mention that the current entry still implies Dark Falz is a mistranslation (it's not, for reasons that have been explained). Maybe there's a call for a seperate section for contested translations but whether you think Dark Falz or Dark Force is the correct name, the simple fact remains that Dark Falz is not a mistranslation. - [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 07:52, 13 May 2008 (CDT)
** I wasn't sure what to do with it, so I made a new "Incorrectly regarded as translation errors" section (I felt it would be helpful to explain that, since I've seen Dark Force used all too often and that's part of the reason I thought Force was the correct translation), if you think there's a better way to point that out, or if it doesn't belong there at all, then feel free to do whatever with it [[User:Jeff Paine|Jeff Paine]] 12:07, 13 May 2008 (CDT)

== Categories of Translation Errors ==
* I thought it might be nice to add specific categories to each of the entries on the table as another column. These categories would be:
** Mistranslation (the translation is just plain wrong, for example Jao stuff)
** Inconsistency (the translation is not wrong per se, but is inconsistent with other translations or even the same term in other contexts, for example Agtaride, Tengohg, Fulyen Curtz)
** Typo (the translation is not wrong per se, but the English has been spelled wrong e.g. Assasin still conveys the correct meaning of the Japanese, but is a typo)
** JP mistake (a mistake in the original Japanese, usually stemming from incorrect use of Anglicisms in item names e.g. Vullseye, BT Lovers)
** Change (the name has been completely changed in the translations, but it's not really a mistranslation so much as a completely different name e.g. Shifta)

* Thoughts? - [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 07:47, 27 October 2007 (CDT)
** I like it. What about including incorrect descriptions? They don't exactly count as mistranslations, but perhaps they're still worth mentioning. For example, the English description of [[PA Fragment]] makes no sense at all when related to the item while the Japanese description translates as "A fragment of a data disc for some of the strongest photon arts that only select individuals can use. If enough fragments are collected, the data can be reconstructed." - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 08:47, 27 October 2007 (CDT)

* Crea weapons? Aren't they meant to be Claire? Go Bajjija and Badria too. --[[User:JubeiSaotome|JubeiSaotome]] 17:31, 24 December 2007 (CST)
** Badira/Bajilla, yes. Claire, no. It was just KUREA or whatever, and people guessed they'd transliterate it as "Claire." However, they went with "Crea" (which is probably closer), and they were consistent with it, so that's not any sort of error. --[[User:Qwerty|Qwerty]] 17:39, 24 December 2007 (CST)

== "Correct" translation ==

* I'm not sure "Correct" is the word to use in some of these cases. - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 07:15, 5 January 2008 (CST)

Talk:Translation errors

Jeff Paine: /* Dark Falz */

== Dark Falz ==
* It's not a mistranslation. The kana is ダーク・ファルス (DAAKU FARUSU) which does not transliterate to Dark Force at all, that would probably be ダーク・フォース (DAAKU FOOSU). The Japanese Phantasy Star games have always used this name and Dark Force only appears in the US versions of 2-4, I believe. I assume it's not a mistranslation in those games but rather a deliberate change by the translation team of those games for a western audience. Regardless, Dark Falz is the accepted name by now. - [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 04:14, 11 May 2008 (CDT)
** I've always heard that Dark Falz is supposed to be Dark Force. Fan translations of the original PS name him Dark Force. PS also had some other mistranslations (some due to a lack of room), such as Alis = Alisa and Lassic = LaShiec. Not to mention the fact that Dark Force makes a lot more sense than Dark Falz. [[User:Jeff Paine|Jeff Paine]] 21:00, 11 May 2008 (CDT)

== Categories of Translation Errors ==
* I thought it might be nice to add specific categories to each of the entries on the table as another column. These categories would be:
** Mistranslation (the translation is just plain wrong, for example Jao stuff)
** Inconsistency (the translation is not wrong per se, but is inconsistent with other translations or even the same term in other contexts, for example Agtaride, Tengohg, Fulyen Curtz)
** Typo (the translation is not wrong per se, but the English has been spelled wrong e.g. Assasin still conveys the correct meaning of the Japanese, but is a typo)
** JP mistake (a mistake in the original Japanese, usually stemming from incorrect use of Anglicisms in item names e.g. Vullseye, BT Lovers)
** Change (the name has been completely changed in the translations, but it's not really a mistranslation so much as a completely different name e.g. Shifta)

* Thoughts? - [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 07:47, 27 October 2007 (CDT)
** I like it. What about including incorrect descriptions? They don't exactly count as mistranslations, but perhaps they're still worth mentioning. For example, the English description of [[PA Fragment]] makes no sense at all when related to the item while the Japanese description translates as "A fragment of a data disc for some of the strongest photon arts that only select individuals can use. If enough fragments are collected, the data can be reconstructed." - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 08:47, 27 October 2007 (CDT)

* Crea weapons? Aren't they meant to be Claire? Go Bajjija and Badria too. --[[User:JubeiSaotome|JubeiSaotome]] 17:31, 24 December 2007 (CST)
** Badira/Bajilla, yes. Claire, no. It was just KUREA or whatever, and people guessed they'd transliterate it as "Claire." However, they went with "Crea" (which is probably closer), and they were consistent with it, so that's not any sort of error. --[[User:Qwerty|Qwerty]] 17:39, 24 December 2007 (CST)

== "Correct" translation ==

* I'm not sure "Correct" is the word to use in some of these cases. - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 07:15, 5 January 2008 (CST)

Translation errors

Jeff Paine:

The purpose of this article is to collect and list the spelling errors and/or inconsistencies in the English version of Phantasy Star Universe.

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center"
|-
! Location !! Name !! Correct translation !! Description
|-
| Enemy || Tengohg || Tengoug || All other members of the monster family (Zoalgoug, Onmagoug...) use "goug".
|-
| Enemy || Alterazgohg || Alterazgoug || All other members of the monster family (Zoalgoug, Onmagoug...) use "goug".
|-
| Enemy || Go Bajilla || Go Badira || Presumably meant to be "Go Badira", a new variation of the enemy "Badira" from base Phantasy Star Universe.
|-
| Enemy || Jigo Booma || Gigobooma || A throwback to Phantasy Star Online, however in that game this enemy was called "Gigobooma".
|-
| Enemy || Dark Falz || Dark Force || A mistranslation dating back to the original Phantasy Star for the Master System. Presumably kept because this enemy is a throwback to PSO, which also used the name Dark Falz.
|-
| Weapon || Ank Bico || Ank Pico || A reference to the "Pico Hammer" weapon used by the Sega character Amy Rose.
|-
| Weapon || Assasin || Assassin || Misspelling - is meant to be "Assassin", as shown on the board and mirrored with the Kubara version, Assassic.
|-
| Weapon || Halp Serafi || Harp Serafi || Probably meant to be ''Harp Serafi'', however the Japanese uses ''harupu'' as opposed to the more logical ''haapu''.
|-
| Weapon || Rod || Rodoh/Rodou || Is actually meant to be ''Rodoh'' or ''Rodou''. The GRM equivalent in Ambition of the Illuminus is called ''Rod''.
|-
| Weapon || Vullseye || Bullseye || A mistake in the original Japanese.
|-
| Weapon || Yasminakov 0002 || Yasminkov 0002 || Inconsistent, refers to the ''Yasminkov'' series of weapons from ''PSO''.
|-
| Weapon || Shato || Sato || A throwback to Phantasy Star Online, however in that game this equipment was called "Sato".
|-
| Unit|| Hard / Night || Hard / Knight || Part of the Knight unit series, mistranslated to Night.
|-
| Decoration || BT Lovers || VT Lovers || The "BT" is supposed to stand for "Valentine", and thus should probably have been VT. Also, conjecturally, rendering it "VD" (for "Valentine's Day") would probably have been problematic—"VD" also stands for "venereal disease," an older term for sexually transmitted diseases.
|-
| Decoration || Jao || Chao/Jaggo || The name of the enemy it relates to is "Jaggo", which '''itself''' is a (probably intentional) variation of the Chao they have similarities to.
|-
| Decoration || Relaxing Jao || Relaxing Chao/Relaxing Jaggo || The name of the enemy it relates to is "Jaggo", which '''itself''' is a (probably intentional) variation of the Chao they have similarities to.
|-
| Item || Agtaride || Shiftaride || Emulates the TECHNIC "Shifta", whose JP name is "Agtal", which matches in the same way Retier, Zodial and Megistar match their item names.
|-
| Item || Defbaride || Debandide || Emulates the TECHNIC "Deband", whose JP name is "Defbal", which matches in the same way Retier, Zodial and Megistar match their item names.

Jukebox discs

2008-05-11T03:17:17Z

Jeff Paine: Added a Song Title column, since not all discs have the song title in their description

{{AotI Only}}
Jukebox discs can be given to your [[Partner machines|partner machine]] to create a playlist for [[Your room|your room]]. Any songs which have been added to your jukebox can be selected at any time to play as your room's background music. Most discs are available at [[Casino Voloyal]]'s prize exchange counter, but there are others which are available through special events and missions.

Types

2008-05-11T02:47:21Z

Jeff Paine: rv minor edit I made to finish the description

== Overview ==
Battle Types, also unofficially known as ''Jobs'' or ''Classes'', are one of the most important gameplay mechanics in PSU. They determine a character's [[Stats]], their level caps for [[Photon Arts]], which weapons they can use, how much [[PP]] certain weapons regenerate per interval, and proficiency with [[Traps]]. There are twelve Types in total, three Basic Types that are available immediately, and nine Expert Types that can only be unlocked by attaining the required Type Levels in the Basic Types. Three more "Master Types" have been announced for future release, but the specifics on them are unknown at this time. For people interested in playing the hybrid Types, it might be good to keep in mind the maximum amount of Photon Arts that can be learned at a time is 36.

Here is a quick overview of the different Types:

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center"

New [[Human]] and [[Beast]] characters start out as Hunters, while [[CASTs]] start as Rangers and [[Newmans]] as Forces.

== Type levels and changing Types ==

Separately from one's [[Character Level]], Types can be leveled up for stat increases. To do so, you will need to gain Type Experience Points, which are awarded after completing [[Missions]] (check the article for in-depth info regarding amounts). The maximum Type level is currently capped at 20.

The following is a chart of mission points ('Type Experience') needed to level up the types:

You can change your current Type to any of the Types available at the ''Type Select Counter'' at Clyez City 5F on the Colony. By doing so, you will not get '''any''' of the benefits of your old Type in your new one. You will not lose your old Type level either though. Changing Types will cost a certain amount of [[Meseta]], dependent on one's [[Character Level]]. The formula for obtaining the cost of a Type change for any given Character Level is 150 + (50 * CL), where CL is the character's Character Level -- this is also represented in the following table.

'''N.B.''' Master Types can use '''only''' S-Rank weaponry and Line Shields.

== Additional Bonuses ==

=== Traps ===

''Main article: [[Traps]]''

Rangers, Fighgunners, Guntechers, Fortegunners, Acrofighters, Acrotechers, Fighmasters and Gunmasters are able to use certain [[Traps]]; Protransers can use all of them at increased damage since it is their specialty; inflicting damage 50% greater than that of normal trap users.

* A trap's SE should affect any monster that can be affected by that SE, despite normal restrictions of SE level. (Normal Traps work on Large monsters)
* SE levels remain constant despite level or Type.
* Trap damage itself, as well as SE's damage/effects are nonelemental; meaning that they are not affected by a monster's element.
* Traps charge a SUV-bar. Assumedly they charge a nanoblast as well. 

=== PP Regeneration ===

Every five seconds, Weapons regenerate a certain amount of PP. Offline this is always one, but online the amount is variable, and Types get regeneration bonuses for their 'native' weapon types as well (more info about the regeneration rates [[Weapons|here]]):

* +25% bonus to PP Regeneration on Melee Weapons: Hunters, Fighgunners, Wartechers and Fortefighters.
* +25% bonus to PP Regeneration on Ranged Weapons: Rangers, Fighgunners, Guntechers and Fortegunners.
* +25% bonus to PP Regeneration on Casting Weapons: Forces, Guntechers, Wartechers and Fortetechers.

=== PP Consumption ===

Fortefighters, Fortegunners and Fortetechers consume only 80% of the original PP when using Skills, Bullets and TECHNICs, respectively.

=== Increased attack speed ===

Acrofighters, Acrotechers, Fighmasters, and Gunmasters have a faster attack speed than other types.

=== Increased casting speed ===

Acrotechers and Masterforces have a faster casting speed than other types.

== Penalties ==

=== PP Consumption ===

Fighmasters, Gunmasters and Masterforces get a penalty in PP consumption.

* Fighmasters PP consumption is increased by 30%.
* Gunmasters and Masterforces PP consumption is increased by 20%.

== Favored Types ==

Online, some of the possible combinations of [[Races]] and Types gains additional statistical bonuses, the figures of which depend on the Types themselves, and are the same for all stats. While calculating bonuses, these are separate to and applied cumulatively with the Type figures (as seen in the sections below) against the 'base stats' for certain [[Races]]/genders. These bonuses exist for the following combinations:
