Why does Dracula’s castle use dollar sterling when it’s set in romania?
>>
Why did it have 500 weapons and not integrate but a handful into practical use?
>>
>>12064395
Being completely realistic would cause confusion. Money bags with dollar signs are the international symbol of cash.
>>
Why does everyone there speak English? Why is there a neutron bomb? Why are there corndogs?
There's so many plotholes in this game.
>>
>>12064417
Same reason MGS games have 300 loud, lethal weapons while being a stealth game
>>
>>12064395
Americans can only understand currency denominations in dollars OP
>>
$ isn't a dollar sign, it works for any currency.

You don't got 25 dollars. You got 25 monies.
>>
>>12064528
Sorry, but dollars are the GOAT currency. Yen, pesos, pounds, and euros all sound like gay Final Fantasy money.

>>12064462
Heh, ludo-narrative dissonance much? I hope someone got fired for that blunder.
>>
Isn't it set on the old pre-WW I Transylvania? Then it's probably the austro-hungarian empire.

Not all currencies
You can't use it in place of 円 or ¥

If Richter has a son, should he name him Rethcir?

>tfw buying a portrait of Vlad the Impaler irl doesn't shoot laser beams everywhere and annihilate all my neighbors in a radius
fucking rip-off...

Why does everyone in Transylvania speak perfect Japanese
>>
In the Dracula novel, Dracula is buying property in London to live there and stalk. It makes sense he would be fluent in English and collecting English currency.
>>
>>12064638
Research Turanism.
>>
>>12064395
Don't you mean thaler?
>>
>>12064538
Zenny/Zeni is fine and good, especially for JP games.
>>
>>12064524
Yeah but those guns actually work, and MGS is a viable action game. SotN has mostly garbage weapons that are objectively worse in every single way to weapons you get earlier in the game.
>>
>>12064395
>dollar sterling
umm chud? that's the spanish peso symbol which muttistan adopted
>>
>>12064395
What's the symbol for a Wallachian aspri?
>>
>>12064395
Dollar sign is the essential part of ASCII table widely used in computers for programming etc. There are no other money sign.
>>
>>12064584
This list is wrong and I blame unicode. The dollar has two bars, unlike the peso wich only has one.
>>12064395
For the same reason, OP is wrong too. El Alucardo uses pesos.
>>
>>12064395
It's translated for your convenience, retard. It's why the characters also speak Japanese instead of Romanian.
>>
>>12065348
> The dollar has two bars

Anon... that's only in the world of Donald Duck.
>>
>>12064706
>English currency
>>
>>12065439
They’d more likely be speaking Hungarian for the time anyway.
>>
>>12064395
That's the Habsburg thaler and not a dollar. Transylvania was a part of Austria at the time. And thalers are just northern equivalent of the Spanish pesos.
>>
>>12064961
A Turk on a spike.

Nta but fuck you i just had a mandela moment because of your post
>>
>>12066260
Because lotr is a translation of the red book duh
>>
>>12066260
The shire is based on rural England
>>
>>12064395
Blah blah creature of chaos blah blah.
>>
>>12066329
no retard middle earth is mainland europe, tol eressea doesn't get dragged back and become england until like a thousand years after lotr
>>
>>12064395
Why is SOTN set in Romania when Transylvania was still part of Hungary in 1796?

Why is Transylvania still currently part of Romania when the majority of people there are Hungarian?
>>
>>12064524

Espionage Action, is what Kojima called it.

Time is convoluted
also it's a silver peso
>>
>>12066382
Does SOTN ever mention Romania?
>>
It might mention Transylvania which has a lot of Saxons instead of gypsies living there
>>
>>12066395
Hungarians aren't Saxons, dipshit.
