These are all the edits I've done on this chapter currently

== Questions on Changes ==

1. To the This word, Protection knight who are Luke also agreed. (I'm going to change this, To these words, Protection Knight Luke also agreed)  >>  sounds much better.  I did make an error here though, Any instances of 'Protection knight' need to be changed to the more proper titled Guardian knight or Knight-guardian if they are spotted. Thanks! --Skui

I'm going to go with Guardian Knight -[[User:Marrow|Marrow]] ([[User talk:Marrow|talk]]) 11:26, 31 July 2014 (CDT)

2. Too luxurious was the bed. Too luxurious were the clothes the people wore. Too luxurious was the room. I don't know the reason why I'm in such a amazing luxurious place. 

'''This seems awkward to me, would it be alright if I changed it to something like'''

(The bed, the peoples' clothing, and the room were all too luxurious.)I don't know the reason why I'm in such a amazing, luxurious place.

>> go ahead. I was just doing a line-by-line as it appeared, since he reiterates it like that in that section.

　シルフィは目覚めた瞬間、夢だと考えた。 

　'''豪華すぎる'''ベッド。 >> '''too luxurious''' (was the) bed

　'''豪華すぎる'''服を着た人達。 >> '''too luxurious''' (were the) clothes the people wore

　'''豪華すぎる'''部屋。 >> '''too luxurious''' (was the) room.  

　自分がこんな豪華すぎる所にいる理由がわからなかった。 

I was just doing a line-by-line and trying to keep it looking similar. Honestly it looks better just making it grammatically pleasant.  He does this a few times, once at the beginning involving the demon attack, and a bit further on when talking about the 'genius boy' Rudeus. So, if you wish to polish those up, it's more than welcomed. --Skui


To be honest, I think the repetition was placed there purposely since it reads off like a list. Comparing

"The bed is too luxurious. 

The people's clothes are too luxurious. 

The room is too luxurious.

I don't know why I'm in such an amazing, luxurious place."

with

"The bed, the peoples' clothing, and the room were all too luxurious.
I don't know why I'm in such an amazing, luxurious place."

You can see amount of emphasis placed the notion of luxury primarily because it is repeated so many times. The latter condenses it, so it loses a bit of that feeling.

This is just my take on it though.

== Fittoa Territory, Fedoa Region and Fitts name ==

It appears that "Fitts" is the name Silphy was given because she hails from the "Fittoa Territory". Since we have been using "Fedoa Region" until now, wouldn't be more appropriate to adapt the name too?
Not sure what it would be... maybe Fed or Feds? (I know it sounds silly and like a reference to FBI agents... but Fitts doesn't sound much better either) [[User:Stealth|Stealth]] ([[User talk:Stealth|talk]]) 10:31, 1 August 2014 (CDT)

Begin rant.txt:
If Fitts is changed instead of the abortion to katakana the translation given to us as Fedoa was, I will personally, manually, change it back every time until my editing rights are revoked.  Fedoa makes no sense. It was a courtesy leaving it that way to the initial translator back when there was no reason at that point for anyone to say, "gee, perhaps you should double-check that katakana reading." None.  No searchable reference or anything.  This chapter literally, gave us lock stock and smoking barrel the definite name of the territory, and ''how and why'' Sylphy's name was changed to it.

フィ ット ア | フィ ッツ

Fi tto a | Fi ttsu

Do you dare to take the ctrl+f challenge?
Ah, I really don't mean to sound rude, but I don't know how to cope with the thought of doing something so backwards to the effort. My blood actually gets hot and I want to yell and stuff.  But all I can say is: Please, no. Please don't change Fitts' name. It's just not kosher to do it. Amen. A salaam aleikum. Hakuna matata. Sorry, and thanks. Just remember.. 'Fitts' fits.--[[User:Skuizaan|Skuizaan]] ([[User talk:Skuizaan|talk]]) 19:07, 3 August 2014 (CDT)

No need to get angry, I am not aware of the details of why or how the name got to be what it is. I am with you that we should stick as close to the original material as possible.
It is just that currently, the Names and Terminology page recommended we use Fedoa Region. I was simply saying that if we go that route we should try to stay consistent. Otherwise I vote for it to go the other way around and we change Fedoa to Fittoa everywhere. This would make it that the name Fitts correctly "foreshadows" the true identity of the character (although that was extremely easy to guess even without that extra clue).
I personally have no intention of making any major edits without consulting. That is why I actually asked first. I will do as many edits as I can, but only as long as I do not make any deep changes without consulting a translator first. In doubt I'll ask again on the talk page.
