>Game is (by translation) called Kid Icarus>It's about an angel wearing Greek clothing>It has nothing to do with the mythical son of Daedalus>Character's actual name is PitWhy?
I don't know, probably because some underpaid Jap developers don't really have an obligation to be 100% accurate to Med lore when making a random 80s game? Do you have autism?
>>12014193I think they're using the word Icarus to just mean "person with wings", not literally the mythological figure named Icarus.
Japanese title is Myth of Light: Palthena's Mirror
>>12014276>Med lorehello, death to america.
>>12014193In morrowind the joke guy that dies from falling out of the sky in front of you is carrying "scrolls of icarian flight" in a setting that has absolutely zero excuse to reference icarus
>>12014302Not /vr/, but KI Uprising lampshades this when Pit asks who Icarus is and Palutena very quickly changes the subject.
>>12014193The audience is retarded.t. Not an American marketer
>>12014391What? Are you retarded? The flight scrolls would allow you to jump towards the sun, hence the Icarus reference.
>>12014905not him but his point is that Greece doesn't exist in Elder Scrolls land, no one there should know about Icarus to make that reference when naming anything
>>12014905You stupid fucking cunt get out
>>12014391luv me a good joke character
They did this kind of thing a lot back then. Many games were localized.>Warriors of FateRemove the Three Kingdoms theme and renamed the characters to Mongolian names.>Demon SwordOriginal title and the protagonist are based on Fudou Myouou (Acala).>Censored because of reasonsBionic CommandoGuerilla War
>>12014193He's a lil cupid
>>12014193Kid Angel would have caused the entirety of America to meltdown and eat itself through a satanic panic riot feedback loop. Kid Cupid sounds gay.
>>12015968>Kid Cupid sounds gayBecause it's greek related?
>>12014276>Do you have autism?Is that a rhetorical question?
>>12016813Are you a rhetorical question?
>>12014193I think what basically happened is some Americans in suits took something created in Japan which was highly refined to the point which it was a work of art and they came up with some dumb ideas which they thought would help it to sell in America and didn't really think through what they were doing but just slapped themselves on the back and went with it.
What's there to be confused about, OP? He has wings like Icarus. His name is Pit because he has wings so he can't fall in a pit. This ain't rocket science, bruh.
>>12014276>Med loreFucking zoomers
>>12018664What lore is it, then?
>>12018709idklol
