Phantasy Star III Japanese-to-English Weapons, Armor, Items, Techiniques Translation List English name - raw Japanese name - translated Japanese name. Compiled/translated 10/4/12 (minor update on 5/6/18) by R. Capowski, RACapowski@sceneryrecalled.com. Tip o' the Snow Crown to http://ps3.huguesjohnson.com/ for the English-language item list.

I don't think this is the case, as the word "misericorde" has an existing, different translation in Japanese ("miserikorude") and because the PS3 knife appears to be part of a set of emotion-themed mid-range weapons (Bow of Delight/Claw of Grief etc.). Look up a image of a misericorde, though, and tell me Sari/Lynn wouldn't look great slinging a couple.

"Regalia Staff"? ** - Could also mean "Bow of Woman Who Likes Yaoi." Hey, we don't know what Laia reads. *** - "Kanki" has several meanings - "chill", "awakening" or "stimulation", etc. "Delight" seems to be most in the vein of the mid-range Pity/Anger/Sorrow etc. set of weapons.

I've gone with "Leather" due to the Rezaa equipment's relatively low stats, and also because a Razor Chest sounds remarkably uncomfortable. Still, I'm puzzled as to why they didn't use "Kawa no" for these items as they did with the Leather Cap, as it means the same thing and, space consideration-wise, uses the same number of characters. You usually don't use loanwords for boring ol' leather equipment. *4 - As has doubtlessly been discussed to death on various PS boards, "Fiburira" could actually mean "Fibrilla," an archaic word meaning "fine fiber." *5 - More like "Sincerity Sleeves," but let's stay in line with the official PS2 English translations.
