Any favorite mistranslation/misspellings from recent games? Everyone knows all your base, but I'm talking like within the past 2 generations.
Some of my favs...
Natsume misspelled their name on the title screen of "Harvest Moon 64" --they spelled it "Natume"
In FFVII, there was a pipe you could press "o" at and it would say "this guy are sick"

ALL YOUR BASE...ha, ha, no. I mean, yeah, but I don't think there's anyone alive who doesn't know about that one already.

In Final Fantasy X-2, one of the spells Paine could cast using her special dressphere (whose name I have mercifully blocked from my memory, along with much of that game)--anyway, one of the spells was called Assoil. I'm sure it was intended to mean "absolve" (which is, in fact, the correct English meaning of that word), but it's a very archaic word, no longer in usage, and I'm willing to bet 99% of gamers read it as "ass oil".

The idea of a flesh vegetable, particularly a flesh carrot or celery stick, is quite disturbing (if not ENTIRELY unappealing).
