I'm french,so I play to Harvest Moon in French.I recently bought the game and I saw the names ,someof them are really strange !
Angelo > Guy
Dirk=Dirk
Ivan > Ulysse (I hate that)
Llyod > Roy
Amir > Shmidt
Antoinette > Ange (the french word for angel)
Daisy > Anémone (the same in japanese)
Freya=Fréya
Emiko > Kath (^^)
Sherry > Sophia
Many harvest moon have french names,but not as different as this ones.

For this reason I am happy they do not make Finnish versions of these games. The horror of dealing with bachelors named Pentti and Yrjänä, and bachelorettes named Pirjo and Martta.
I guess the original french names sound exotic enough for English gamers, but the German and French localization team just wanted to make the names a bit more familiar.

well, my copy is canadian. That's why it takes a few weeks more to come out in canada than america.Lilangel wrote:As far as I know, there is no Canadian version. The one they sell in Canada is the North America one.chocolatechip wrote: It's a good job that the canadian version doesnt have different names from the american one. Or I'd be really confused when I was talking to people on here
My game's instruction manual has half in french, and although the actual game has USA on it, I know my SI game has CAN at the end.
But anyway, it doesnt matter. I was just pointing out that it would be strange, that's all
@googaboga: I know I like the different names too. Especially the ucho brothers ones XD
