Talk:Nemu Hiiragi

Her power appears to be the ability to create Rumors.

Appareantly yeah, she's the one that created that rumor-spreading creature. According to Ch 7.17, Nemu creates the rumors, but it shaves away part of her life and possibly destabilizes her soul gem? strongly taints it?Sondenise (talk) 00:15, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

Why the spelling "Fendt" in "Fendt Hope"?

Is there a reason why we spell the Magius' HQ "Fendt Hope"? According to Nemu's story, when she suggests it, Tsukiyo asks whether it does mean "微かな希望", which translates as "Faint Hope".

The North America server localized it as "Fendt Hope", so I assume that's the reason. I have no idea why they made that choice though. As far as I can tell, "Fendt" is a German surname means "little boy" or "farmer", and also a company that manufactures tractors, but neither of those seem like a reason to choose it. ~ Celtic Minstrel (talk) 20:27, 12 February 2022 (UTC)

Yeah, to quote Nemu's MGS:

「フェントホープ」
Fendt Hope

ねむ: ただの閃きでしかないけど、 希望を皆が使用していると思って
Nemu: It was just a shot of inspiration, but everyone was using the word "hope", so...

月夜: それで「微かな希望」で ございますか？
Tsukuyo: Did you say "Faint Hope"? Like a delicate glimmer of hope?

みふゆ: 少し言葉を変えれば 「見せかけの希望」にもなるよ
Mifuyu: If it's "feint", it kind of sounds like a false hope.

灯花: くふっ
Touka: *Giggle*

灯花: それに言語を換えれば、 「希望を作る」みたいにもなるね
Touka: There is a language with a cognate that would make it mean to "create hope".

Touka may be referring to Catalan's "fer" verb (to make/do), which has a cognate of "fent." My guess is that the translator added the "d" to "Fent" to make the pronunciation clearer while still accommodating all these different interpretations.--Bigscarythings (talk) 00:50, 13 February 2022 (UTC)

That doesn't quite seem to fit, as "fent" is the present participle, so it should translate to "creating hope"… although I guess it's an easy mistake for someone to make, so it could still be the language Touka was thinking of. ~ Celtic Minstrel (talk) 03:24, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
