I had the opportunity to speak to the french translator who had his stand at an anime convention in french this weekend. Apparently, the PEGI guys refused to categorize Higurashi as a "game", so instead they rated the bonus mini-games and not the story itself (they said they could only rate graphical violence).

This convention was so full of HK it hurted.

>> No.3655889

The traductor also explained to me that the "o" in "Oyashiro-sama" was a honorific.

Some gaming news websites really could use that information, get the translator to say something. Sure it's fine for Higurashi as they got a rating (no matter how inaccurate it is), but it sets a dangerous precedent for selling other similar things in Europe.

The issue here isn't that it was rated, but that it was rated inaccurately. Sure books don't get ratings, but that doesn't mean that someone would rate a violent horror novel for being good for those who are 7 if they did.

For any non-french reader: prepare to suffer. The translator uses incredibly hard vocabulary from time to time, and some tenses are so retarded I don't think I could translate them in english.
