CROSSED SQUIRES

Whether due to issues with the original text or differences between the translations used for the Englishlanguage patch, the manual and the various guides, terminology in

Frame Gride can be inconsistent. While the mecha are usually referred to as knights, there are several places in the fan-created patch where ‘knight’ is used for the player and the mecha is called a squire – a term that is more typically used (including in the patch) for the independent support drones that can be summoned during a duel. While not much of an issue in the long run, it does highlight the importance of good localisation work, even in games with little text. Just one or two vital phrases being mistranslated can create headaches.
