Ever think of it this way... maybe it isn't French... maybe it's just the "Highland language."


Though it's probable, there isn't enough of a sample to confirm it, especially when the only other place is Sajah. Besides, there's no real need for Suikoden town names to confirm with the names in real life.

I'd go with the mistranslation from Japanese theory.

Actually, mistranslation would be impossible, because there's no Japanese for "L'renouille." The only thing that exists in terms of the name is the sound, "ru, ru , no, i, e"

Now, the Suikoden 2 translators had a heck of a time doing their job. They were basically given no help whatsoever. When there's no real meaning in the source language, you can't really "mistranslate" because nothing is established as correct in terms of its meaning.

Maybe it would have been best if it was translated purely phonetically, such as "Rurunoie," however... I like "L'renouille" better. I think it's a pretty name. I think the translators did a good job there.

Have we considered that it could be a different french dialect? such as Creole? I dont know if there are any other dialects of french but it's a possibility. Now we just need to find someone who speaks Creole..

I think that L'Renouille is a cool name though I never played 2 that was before my time. But that realy does sould like a good name for a city.
