Posted: Mon Nov 28, 2005 9:20 pm Post subject: The mystery of "Orange" |
|
|
Why is it that whenever you have to name something somebody always suggests naming it "Orange"?
I mean, "Orange Castle"? "Orange Company"? "The Orange Unifaction War"?
And has anyone ever listened to this suggestion? I mean, I've played each game several times, and I've NEVER named ANYTHING "Orange"...
Is there some significance in the word "Orange" that I am missing? |

Maybe it's a warning to people that unless the oranges unite and form an army, the bad apples will take over the world!
Or maybe the designers ARE oranges and they wanted to let us know that oranges are people too, armies of people in fact.
Or it could be that they like the colour orange, or eating oranges or it could be just a name that they hoped would get a laugh. But they're stupid ideas, I think my first two are much more likely. |

Unfortunately the "Orange" reference in Suikoden IV was lost when they decided to translate Chiepoo's suggestion to "Chicken". Otherwise, it'd have been the second most noticable running joke in the series, after Schtolteheim Reinbach III. |

Orange is the best coulour there is offcourse!
It is bright pretty much only looks good in combination with white or black and you see it on every national sportsteam jersey from my country. |

Really it's one of the most generic things they could say. Who's gonna actually name something after a color. I did name the castle White Castle one time but that was because of the resturant. _________________ It's a brightly colored jug for a brightly colored drink, and every time I pour a cup it really makes me think. |

...You guys never named anything Orange, accepting the foolish game default to name your army after a piece of delicious citrus fruit? Hoo boy, now don't I feel foolish!
No, just kidding...I laughed derisively when Jowy told me that he liked Orange company better than my name. Interestingly, the deal in Suikoden IV gave me a little pang on the inside. Orange Islands, represent! _________________

This reminds me, which game gets you an extra scene if you name your castle Toran Castle? I thought it was Suikoden III, but when I tried it, nothing happened. _________________

I think it was Suikoden 3. But if you loaded data where you gave it a different name, you have to rename Budehuc with that name to get the scene. _________________

If I was a betting man, I'd say it had something to do with the Orange Network for Mobile Phones. Bit of advertising thrown in to help fund the Suikoden project. _________________

Does Konami own the Orange Network? _________________ http://www.needgod.com - If you're just interested in Christianity or if you think you don't need to be Christian, then try taking the quiz at this website. |
