    I need a translation, badly.



    If you can't translate it by ear, the lyrics are here, but it's a different version of the song so I'm not sure if the lyrics are exactly the same.

    I have waaaay too many favorites in this series, so I narrowed it down to three: Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, and Sun Quan.

    Don't scream.

    Just... hear what I've got to say. Then scream.

    So young... You've got so much to live for, and yet, where the hell are you? You're stuck in this house, you're stuck in this town. There's a great big world out there. You should travel. You can see it all. I can help you. You want Paris, Rome, Athens, you got it.

    'Course, if you don't help me, well, that's... a whole other picture.

    It's a simple deal. You let me in... I let you out.

    You know, it doesn't have to be unpleasant. Hell, I'd rather it wasn't! ...Tsk, all right, I know what you're thinking. You give up your soul, you turn into a demon, you look like shit... Where's the payoff, huh?

    I'll make you a little promise. Just give me what I want, and nothing will happen to you.

    ...Has anyone ever told you how pretty you are? I know it sounds like a line... Lord knows I've used it... But I mean it. You know, I can see to it that you stay pretty. Forever. Think about it.

    All you have to do... is say 'yes.'

    *kisses your hand*

    Do we have a deal?​

    SPOILER ALERT! Because of the nature of discussion, ending spoilers for several video games/series may and will most likely be present here; be on the lookout. By the same token, please remember to be considerate and denote spoilers in your own posts.

    There are some games where your player character is a typical hero; he gathers his merry band of nakama, he saves his damsel in distress, he defeats the villain of the month, and everyone goes home and has a party.

    Then there are other games. Games where you have the option of taking it a step further. Games where the hero becomes far more than just a hero; he brings about a phenomenal change in the world, ends a vicious cycle of war and suffering, or simply becomes the absolute best ever at his profession.

    Of course, everyone will have different standards of which of their favorite protagonists qualifies as a legend. So which heroes are legendary to you?

    Now, obviously there is plenty of subjectivity involved here, but bear in mind that we're attempting to focus on in-universe legends, not characters that are legendary among fans, and that the idea is that the characters become legends due to the events of the story (i.e. if the person is legendary at the outset, they don't count). It's also not necessary for the legends to be player characters, but that's the focus, as it's somewhat more common; after all, making the player a legend feels awesome, while making a sideliner legendary makes us jealous.

    I'll just name two to get us started, but I'm sure I'll think of more soon.

    Quote (Cave Story):
    Cave Story has several endings relating to the fate of the floating island upon which you spend the game. In the bad one, you leave the inhabitants of the island to their fate; in the decent ending, you kill the current holder of an artifact that grants great and terrible power; and in the best ending, you kill the creator of this artifact, a significantly more powerful being, and end the cycle of suffering that traps the island's residents. The final ending makes a profound statement about going farther than anyone before you has managed, as it requires you to save many lives that would otherwise end to ensure your victory, and it is implied that you have predecessors who have fought carriers of the artifact but have never discovered the truth, or else were unable to defeat the creator. The story of the artifact's creation and that of its creator's imprisonment both contain elements of tragedy, and the artifact itself stands a chance of bringing certain doom to far more than just the island upon which it is contained, and Quote is the one to bring it all to closure. Thanks to the isolated nature of the game, the world will never sing praises in his name; but they might never have been the same if not for his valiant efforts. And all with the resolute silence characteristic of the classic speechless hero.
    Red (Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow/FireRed/LeafGreen):
    I'll admit that this may have a bit of overlap with fan legend, but there really is no denying that Red is at the top of the game; as a player character he is one of the first Pokemon League champions, and as an NPC he still holds the record for highest-level Pokemon after about eight games spanning three generations of Pokemon. No one, not even Lance or Steven, is as committed to Pokemon as he is; what's more, he defeated the leader of what is highly regarded as the most formidable evil organization in the history of Pokemon, and at their prime to boot. In fact, he pretty much disbanded them single-handedly, leading to their highly crippled state in Gold and Silver. With this outstanding civil service and the championship under his belt, as well as an unfailing devotion to his training, Red no doubt deserves the title of Pokemon legend.

    Guys, I am so

    unbelievably happy. Like... I can't even put it into words.

    In fact... don't quote me on it, but... This may be the happiest I've ever been.

    Not saying why yet. You'll have to figure it out. I will not respond to guesses either.

    Show me your final boss monologue/theme music. Be creative. You may post multiples.

    1st:
    "Hnnn... That was a neat trick. But I have a few surprises of my own.

    Did you really think slaying me would be so straightforward? Someone would have done it before you. Oh, many have tried... Many have come before me, thinking to kill some great beast and bring back its head as a trophy.

    What they fail to understand... is that I am no beast.

    I am horror.

    I am what you fear. I am the goosebumps on your arms, the sinking feeling in your stomach, the tingle creeping up your spine. I am the endless abyss before your sleeping eyes; the visions that drive men to gibbering madness. I am blood; I am needles; I am spiders. I am he who devours the souls of the weak, the nagging claws rising from the void to drag you in.

    And you thought you could kill such a thing? That such a thing even knew death? How impertinent.

    You will know your place. You will know true fear."

    2nd:
    Coming soon.
