Quest Grammar

Quest: Antiris for the Gardner

17:21 Heaven's Voice: Once found the flower needed by Minoton, you have gently dug it out and took with you. Received: Anthirises (1 pcs).

I can be a bit of a grammar nazi so when I saw this I thought it was worth mentioning. The English here is horrible. It should read something along the lines of:

"You find the flower needed by Minoton, you gently dig it out and take it with you."

Or something right? Also:

17:28 Heaven's Voice: Finding the Flower Minoton needs, you were about to dug it out, when heard a strange noise. After turning around, you saw monster ready for attack and pulled out your weapon.

I think the sentencing for this quest just needs to be reviewed. Cheers guys.

Grammar is fine for both of these messages , it's just in more of a role-playing style here ;) Arguably 'have' could be removed from first one , but rest is completely fine.

Agreed the grammar here is terrible.... not the first time I've seen things like this in quest text either.

Also my apologies , but suggested change for first message is terrible , repeating already used words in sentence makes it worse (in this case you, you, you in a single sentence). As i said about first one i agree that it could be argued a little bit to change the second part of message - removing have or rephrasing a little bit, but second mentioned message is more than fine - except changing dug to dig and maybe for to 'to' if you want to be a real Grammar Nazi.

I've noted a few grammar/spelling errors in the game. The grammar used tends to be good ONLY considering that the game is not developed by people who speak English as a first language.

I was merely suggesting, not saying that it should be this or that. However the second one is clearly not fine, it is missing simple sentence structure "when heard a strange noise" and "you saw monster ready..." is not good English.

In no way am I slanting the game writers Ihit, there's no malice here. I just think that some things need to be looked into. I'm sure it's just a translation error or something y'know?
