Manjoume Thunder Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 Is it me, or has Konami actually gotten worse with English names? Leviath Dragon, Wind-Up, and now Utopia? Ugh. Still, not as bad as Meklords. Leviath was its name in Japan too. And Wind-Up actually makes sense, unlike Mainspring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Nu-13 Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 And Wind-Up actually makes sense, unlike Mainspring.Yup Seriously guys, stop complaining on all name changes Konami does, because some of them are actualyl good. Believe me, Meklord > Machine Emperor/Machine Imperial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiithepeople Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 Believe me, Meklord > Machine Emperor/Machine Imperial Believe me, I'm not THAT stupid to believe that. Failtroll is Fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Nu-13 Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 I'm not trolling, I'm telling the truth. Meklord means the same thing as Machine Emperor does, but it's shorter, more convenient to use, and unifies the whole archetype. 3 reasons why it's good. So now give me 3 valid reasons why it's bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meklord means the same thing as Machine Emperor does, but it's shorter, more convenient to use, and unifies the whole archetype. 3 reasons why it's good. So now give me 3 valid reasons why it's bad 1. The name could have been less laughable, like "Mechlord" since no other Machine-Types have that name. You were one of these skeptics, you cannot deny that.2. Also, the Emperoros could have kept the infinity symbol or at least "Infinity" in it's name to be more accurate to both the anime and the English dub. The same can be said for Machinecle and Asterisk, as they can have at least a less laughable subname than "Astro". That makes no sense.3. You're obviously a very bad troll. Stop it.

.Nu-13 Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 1. The name could have been less laughable, like "Mechlord" since no other Machine-Types have that name. You were one of these skeptics, you cannot deny that.Mechlord is pronounced like Meklord. Meklord also looks more original2. Also, the Emperoros could have kept the infinity symbol or at least "Infinity" in it's name to be more accurate to both the anime and the English dub. The same can be said for Machinecle and Asterisk, as they can have at least a less laughable subname than "Astro". That makes no sense.They don't have to be anime accurate with names. Though I must admit, "Astro" was stupid3. You're obviously a very bad troll. Stop it.I'm not a troll, and this is not a valid reason. 3-2, I win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He asked for "good" reasons.....not what you would prefer. Its your opinion that these names are laughable. Number 2 is the only semi-valuable reason, but the show and the card game are very different. As for 3, you're a very bad idiot. Stop it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just about to say this, thank you for saving me the words. Contrary to YCM belief, only a few changes are usually terrible....mostly stuff like Cyber Valley due to just dumb/blind translation. And Utopia is just awkward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manjoume Thunder Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 imo name "changes" are acceptable when:1. they censor something (e.g. death > doom/des)2. they change it to something that makes sense (mainspring > wind-up)3. they change it to a similar but better-sounding name (pot of greed and generosity > pot of duality) I don't like the name Utopia because it's only a part of the name. King Utopia would be a better choice if they really wanted to shorten it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ~King Crouton~ Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 Utopia is a vanilla unless your opponent gets out a bigger monster. Pearl could be ran in his place for more muscle. 3. You're obviously a very bad troll. Stop it. ITT...no...OTI = Having a different opinion makes you a troll. I don't care what name change a card is given. Card games are not about awesome names. They're about playability, and this card is just as playable as Utopia as it was as Aspiring Emperor Hope. Though, I will always call this and every Monarch "King Crouton." Meklord is an easily usuable name for the multi-Archetype when printing card effects. It's easier to print "something "Meklord" monster something" than "something "Machine Emperor", "Machine Imperial", or "Machine Imperial God" monster something." If they just printed "Machine", someone could cheat and use it with a Machine King or another crap Machine with "Machine" in it's name. This game is aimed at American children who don't rub off to Vocaloid porn and study Japanese so they someday go to Japan to find their waifu. You have to make the product easier to understand and give less type to read which is why "Machine Imperial God Machinicle Infinity" is "Meklord Astro Mekanikle." It makes perfect sense to change names and other stuff for a different culture. Not all parents would let their kids play games that have black magic, nudity, religious imagery, and depictions of Satan. If it doesn't affect gameplay, I say censor away.

ogihcI13W Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 I have a Number 39: Utopia card... personalty, I feel that the Original card name is badass... but. it's a mouthful. So, Utopia is fine. I just wish they'd put the Xyz card outline in the card maker... I wanna make some Xyz people!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
