I thougth Leknaat is blind?

Post by suiken »

She said it herself that she can't see. But when I replayed the original Suikoden, I was like "wtf" when she said Tir was cute. How can she can tell? I thought she can't see.

she can see into the future, so maybe her powers enabled her to get a glimpse of him.

I believe she can see the "fate"/"destiny" or whatever but I don't think she can see character in details.

Has anyone the actual Japanese line? This could very well be the work of a translator.

Yes, its a mistranslation. She actually calls him a "cunt", but they changed it to "cute" for the English version.

Ted's follow up doesn't help.

"Tir, did you hear that? She just called you cunt!"

Hah, she said she watches the stars to read astrology and stuff, but i wondered how too.

Btw, isn't she a bit of a perv? Throughout the series, she usually appears at midnight near the bed of the young men without anyone else notice.

Plus, when you receive the astral conclusions from her, she spills out that your best mate will put a curse on you, your nanny will get eaten alive and you'll end up beating your dad to death with a stick.
But the translators thought it would be more suspenseful if she just gave the "you'll experience a great deal of pain and sorrow and I know not what the outcome is" speech.

She is a shotacon in disguise. She is waiting for the moment the young heroes falls asleep in their beds and take an opportunity to crawl.

I bet she ordered Luc and Zerase to put a hidden cam.. err crystal ball on the castle's bath.

Maybe that gem Leknaat wears on her forehead lets her see? You know, like those blind old witches in Clash of the Titans have a crystal ball that lets them see.

She used the word "kawaii" in the Japanese version, which is basically same as "cute." However, she probably didn't mean that in a visual sense, but was likely indicating he fact that the Scarlet Moon Empire sent a boy to get her astrology report as opposed to some random adult soldier.

I've also always wondered something about Leknaat. When she appears to you before the final battle and explains more about Windy, Cleo says "So it was Windy that attacked you." I don't recall Leknaat ever saying anything about being attacked, and I don't recall anyone else saying anything about an attack either, escpecially in front of Cleo. Is the Japanese text different?

She's also a cougar for hanging around with Luc!
