Brimir Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 This seems like a very conflicting part of the game to me. You have all the Grineer bosses (and the new "propgaganda balloons") speaking their own language and yet the grunts speak English when engaged in combat. This makes no sense to me because - Seems to me that English is technically the "Tenno language" since Lotus speaks it and we understanding it. - If you have your own language, why would you shout sensitive combat information in the language of your enemy? "Combat formation Bravo!" If anything the chatter between troops in combat should be in Grineer...ish and the boss taunts in "Tenno". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stefe Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I don't know if it's just me, but Vor seems to have sort of like a Russian accent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brimir Posted August 15, 2013 Author Share Posted August 15, 2013 Oh yeah and I totally forgot "Hey, leave my mother out of this..." That the idle chatter between Grineer troops would be in English almost makes even less sense than their combat communication... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LatoObligato Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Vor currently speaks the new Grineer language, and it's been said that Grineer troops will be switched to this language in a coming update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we're screwed because we won't know that they are sticking to the walls...! Seriously though, that'd be awesome. Would make them feel "whole" like the Corpus. WHO'S THE ROBOT?!

Angius Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 They are bilingual. Grineerish is their official language, but they also speak English.Something like those three types of letters in ancient Egypt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brimir Posted August 15, 2013 Author Share Posted August 15, 2013 They are bilingual. Grineerish is their official language, but they also speak English. Obviously. The way they use this ability is highly illogical though, as mentioned in my opening post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That statement itself makes no sense....if the lore says the Grineer are clones, then they don't really have mothers, right? Doesn't make any sense if they're tank-bred and have mothers.

WarlokLord Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Yes, I believe that we should get translation text in some inobtrusive part of the screen whenever we are in earshot of an alien speaker, but that their spoken tongue should be foreign. Also, ship computers for Corpus and Grineer (and anyone else) should not utilize Tenno/Lotus voices/language... they should be in the linguistics of the race to which they belong.

Anunymau5 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Judging by The Call trailer it seems like they speak an evolved form of english because there are english words interspersed with this new language. The best example is when Vor directs the two grineer to "Bring ut cout". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kubmix Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I don't know why... But I heard Corpus are saing "WHO'S THE VAUBAN." instead of "WHO'S THE ROBOT?", I don't know what I have with my ears. :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
