So what is her name actually supposed to be?
Liez?
Riez?
Liisu? Riisu? R'lyehsu?
Also, Seiken Densetsu 3 thread.
I think it is リース.
I want to do penis-related activities with Riesz.
1st for game is more fun planning party setups than actually playing the game.

It's Riesz.
Lise is a misinterpretation. Riesz makes sense because Laurent("Rolente"in the fan translation yet another name fuck up) is a location heavily inspired by France. That, and there already is a Lisa in another SD game. Fuck, that whole translation is a mess. The game is not fucking "Secret of Mana 2", either. SOM2Freak is a Chinese dude guesstimating the translation from kanjis so he missed a lot of mark. Everything he did was a horrible mess. Unfortunately Squeenix lost the master copy so we'll never see the official release in the West.

just curious, how do we know "laurent" is the intended name for rolante?
>>3813557
What was Kevins name originally, it always felt out of place to me.
>>3813861
It was Kevin in the original Japanese as well. Pretty much everyone and everything kept their original name in the translation, except Hawk was Hawkeye.
When does this game become multiplayer?
>>3813857
Laurent is a French name.
Never played SD3, so I have to ask: why does a lot of Riesz hentai involve her getting raped by monsters?
>>3814132
SD3 has good monsters I guess
>>3814093
When you get your second party member, I think?
Or maybe 3 doesn't have it at all. I don't remember.
>>3814093
takes maybe like 30-45 minutes.
>>3814108
I get that. I mean how do we know it's supposed to be the French name when really nothing else about Lise or Rolante seems French, like she's an amazoness and her classes are inspired by norse mythology.
>>3814165
Everyone else there is french? Bon voyage, Bon Jour, etc. Hit the SD wiki, man.
>>3813861
No it isn't. Kevin was the name of someone on dejap staff. Original name was Kiba.
>>3814274
Then why's he called Kevin (ケヴィン) in my jap copy of the game
It is Riesz, even official stuff in moonspeak that outright spell it in english call her Riesz. Heroes of Mana more or less confirms it since Hawkeye is called Hawkeye in it (him being in the game makes no sense but that's a different topic entirely).
Bonus points for being actual name as well, german I think. Bit weird since like >>3813639 said, her kingdom is called Laurent, which is french.
>>3814165
Norse Mythology has traces in northern france as well, so still good.

Thats hentai in general. Even Angela gets it by monsters more often than not.
Riesz gets a shitton of art in general and its still an anomaly as to why. Trumps or Dwarfs basically everyone made pre 1995 but Touhous, Chun-li, Peach, Samus and Morrigan.
She's just over as fuck brother.
>>3813861
Its Kevin, no shenanigans or mistranslations about it. Him, Duran, and Angela were the only names unchanged.
>>3813557
she has good hentai comics
>>3814159
Thanks, you were right.
I like Angela better
>>3815409
Angela's better for cheesecake, but Riesz is better waifu material overall.
Lise and Angela made SD3 worth playing to the end, they also have great starting stories. Not a fan of the rest of the characters.
So are Angela and Kevin the only common names here?
One's guy is named after a band, the other from the guy in M.A.S.H, the amazon after a mathematician, and the midget makes me want to play Portait of Ruin again.
Fuck, I love this game so much. One of the prettiest SNES games I've ever played.
>>3813557
The first time I played this and noticed days change to night in realtime, I just about shat my pants. Blew my mind that you could do that on an SNES.
Angela is sex.
Ingame she can be annoying to use though, since she needs magic to do any real damage. Probably just me, but I don't like having magic animations break the flow of the battle over and over again.
>>3818687
Magic damage is still damage, I still use her for screen wipes if I want to.
Anyone does damage if you have Hawkeye and Riesz in group anyways, so no big deal.
>>3813557
Can someone explain SD3 to me? When does it get fun or hard? I'm not taking the piss, I drooled over it SD3 screenshots as a kid, I always loved SoM (it's one of my all time fav games) and thoroughly enjoyed SoE despite being a little clunkier. I want to enjoy it, I really do.
I've tried to get into SD3 so many fucking times, everyone gives it amazing reviews, but I simply can't stand the "hold attack to win" gameplay. I fire up my emu, start playing, hold attack and press my ffwd hotkey. Get as far as unlocking first class change, before tossing it out of boredom again.
I really don't understand what is it that makes this game such a classic. Help me enjoy this game anons. HELP!
