Ys Origin Thor Story

[GundamuExia]

Hi! Im new on the forum, and i wanna know who is Thor, his story, etc. I don't speak japanese, and that's because i wanna know about Thor

[Rhyanna]

Also, just since this is here (I don't really know a whole lot more besides he's Fukt ) Is it Thor or Toal? Since its the Sanctuary of Toal and all...

Just askin

Falcom named him Thor in Origin but every other instance of the name has been Toal, even in Chronicles after Origin came out and they had the opportunity to change the romanization so... both really. I prefer Toal myself, if only because that's what I've been used to since the TG16 days.

Wait, did Tom say it's Toal in the english version of Chronicles?

[schlagwerk]

Thor/Toal is hotly debated. I stand by Thor because it's a real name and I have seen other instances where Thor has been accidentally translated as Toal (Scrapped Princess and some Tales of stuff)

I hate Toal booths.

Also, Toal is NOT Fact. That's just a little screwed up, I think. Solomon Shrine has a Toal Sphere AND a Fact Sphere, and the game begins with a Book of Toal? I think it SHOULD be Thor, just to differentiate between Toal and Thor, where there's already a Toal in Ancient Ys Vanished / Ys II Complete.

That's just me, though. Also, isn't "Sphare" a typo that is already built-in in some versions of Ys II? I definitely noticed it in the small-text, though I forget which of the six sphares... I mean spheres have it.

So again, Toal is a last name, Fact is a last name. Why have a Toal Fact? That's just confusing. Thank you.

[Rhyanna]

Both sides seem to have really good arguements.

Since he doesn't use a hammer I want to go with Toal cos it sounds cool but...

Wah! Falcom! If you didn't think Dulk Fukt was a good idea, I'd just trust your romanization!

[schlagwerk]

Falcom has more romanization problems than just Fukt.

Is Thor the Hugo's father?

I think he did, along with Solomon and Fact (though the latter was never in doubt really).

There's a Toba Sphere but not a Toal one. There's an entirely separate Toal Sanctuary.

So again, Toal is a last name, Fact is a last name. Why have a Toal Fact? That's just confusing. Thank you.

Because if Toal was a last name (which it isn't) then Toal Fact would be just that awesome.

Older brother.

[Rhyanna]

For some reason, I see crshe, and I just think "clash bomber"

[schlagwerk]

I see Crshe and think Crusher/Crusha for some reason. That combined with her weapon of choice made me nickname her Li'l Crusher since when I was playing through SEVEN JP


... though insane props for the Mega Man 2 reference (I hope that's what you were going for)

<3 Mega Man in general but 2 has been a long-standing favorite. I don't have an NES anymore but I still have my Mega Man 2 cart, box, and instructions
