[Astralogic]

Thanks Neko, that looks good.

Is ３方向 read as さんぼうこう？

Does 人面壁 mean a man made wall?

どのモンスターにも有効ですが、ヌーパー系は例外です。

The word "monster" with どの before it and にも after it, I don't know what to make of that. Does it mean "any monster"?

 

[Toritoribe]

Is ３方向 read as さんぼうこう？

さんほうこう

Does 人面壁 mean a man made wall?

人面 "human face(s)" + 壁 "wall" = a wall that has human face(s) on it

どのモンスターにも有効ですが、ヌーパー系は例外です。

The word "monster" with どの before it and にも after it, I don't know what to make of that. Does it mean "any monster"?

Yes, どの～も means "any/all", and に indicates the target of 有効.

 

[Astralogic]

Thanks Toritoribe-san, that all fits.

Here is the next page.

４人の賢者から受けられる、８つの術。

Does this say: From the four sages, eight skills were learned.

Is ８つ read as はっつ？

 

[Toritoribe]

４人の賢者から授けられる、８つの術。
This is a phrase; the eight skills that are/will be taught by four sages.

The reading is やっつ.
Japanese counter word - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

[Astralogic]

Thanks again.

その効力により、MPの減り方が３種類あります。

To what 効力 does その効力 refer?

 

[nekojita]

The (various) 効力 of the ８つの術 mentioned in the preceding sentence.

 

[Astralogic]

Thanks Neko, that fits the context.

町や村によって、ない店があります。また、看板の出ていない店が、民家に紛れ込んでいる時もあります。

This ない is confusing me, everything else is understandable.

This is the heading of a page: 防具・アイテム 使い上手は旅上手

I can't even guess what 使い上手は旅上手 means.

 

[Toritoribe]

Is that an explanation about different types of shops, e.g., weapon shop, pharmacy or like that?

A good equipment/item user is a good traveler.

 

[Astralogic]

It's the heading of a page that describes certain items. Your translation seems to fit perfectly.

町や村によって、ない店があります。また、看板の出ていない店が、民家に紛れ込んでいる時もあります。

What about that ない? Does in mean none/not? Like "There are (some buildings that) are not shops"?

 

[Toritoribe]

町や村によって、防具・アイテムのない店があります。 makes sense?
(If that's an explanation about various types of shops, that sentence means "Depending on the towns or villages, some types of shops doesn't exist.")

 

[Astralogic]

Yes that was on a page describing all the varieties of shops, thanks.

These next sentences are on the page describing armour and shields. This is the page I'm on.

鎧・盾は、他にもあります。店で売っていたり迷宮の中に隠されていたり。中には素晴らしい能力を秘めた物もあります。

The second 中 is little bit confusing to me, does it refer to 迷宮の中?

The next sentence comes directly after the previous one.

どちらも４種類まで持てます。

Does this mean "you can hold up to all four types."？

 

[Toritoribe]

Yes that was on a page describing all the varieties of shops

...That's what I wanted to know by Is that an explanation about different types of shops, e.g., weapon shop, pharmacy or like that?.... In that case, the interpretation 町や村によって、防具・アイテムのない店があります。 is invalid.

鎧・盾の中には

なか【中】
3 〔限られた範囲〕
交通費は予算の中に含まれる［含まれない］
Transportation costs are [are not] included in the budget.
この中に山田さんを知っている人はいませんか
Is there anyone here [among you] who knows Mr. Yamada?
果物の中でりんごが一番好きだ
I like apples best of all fruits.
鳥の中には飛べないものもいる
Some birds cannot fly.

なか【中】の英語・英訳 - 和英辞書 - 英語辞書 - goo辞書

You misinterpreted どちらも.

 

[Astralogic]

Thank you, that's very helpful.

どちらも４種類まで持てます。

Hmmm... Could this mean "You can hold up to any four types."?

 

[Toritoribe]

どちらもの英語・英訳 - 英和辞典・和英辞典 Weblio辞書

What are the previous sentences explaining about? That's what どちらも refers to.

 

[Astralogic]

Oh I see, it refers to the 素晴らしい能力を秘めた物. So it would mean "You can hold up to four of them."?

 

[Toritoribe]

What does 素晴らしい能力を秘めた物 refer to?
(Another hint: Why does 中 refer to 鎧・盾の中?)

 

[Astralogic]

Hmm, does it refer to 鎧・盾?

 

[Toritoribe]

Yes, the topics of all the sentences in the paragraph are all 鎧・盾.

鎧・盾は、他にもあります。
鎧・盾は、店で売っていたり迷宮の中に隠されていたり。
鎧・盾の中には素晴らしい能力を秘めた物もあります。
鎧・盾は、どちらも４種類まで持てます。

You can hold up to four types of both armor and shield (eight types in total).

 

[Astralogic]

Wow, thank you, that helps me a lot. Some excellent information there.

The next part is the description of a 聖者の実：呪いを解く、聖なる果実です。呪いは、これでしか解けません。

Is that last part saying that you can't cure the curse with just this item alone?

 

[nekojita]

The reverse - しか + negative = "none except this" = "only this"
でしか〜ない = only with this

 

[Astralogic]

Thanks Neko, I knew it had to mean that, I just couldn't see it.

This next text is a description of a 賢者の指輪：賢者達が、自らの祈りを込めて作ったと言われる指輪。MPを全快します。

That red part That 言われる verb is really confusing me here.

 

[nekojita]

Passive, similar to "said to be" (without specifying by who).
「賢者達が、自らの祈りを込めて作った」と言われる

 

[Astralogic]

Oh yeah, why didn't I see that :/

So it's saying "This ring is said to have been personally created and blessed by the sages." Is that accurate?

 

[Toritoribe]

Notice that that's 自らの, not just 自ら.
込めて and 作った are not passive. Your translation is for 賢者達によって作られ祈りを込められた. (The meaning is the same, though.)

I've been mulling it over but I don't think I can make a perfect translation, could you translate it please?
