Kamaro and Camaro?

Post by SheenaTheWomanizer »

Ok in the character list here on suikosource it says Camus is from the Free Knights of Camaro, and that Mua is from the Free Knights of Kamaro. So I am asuming this was a translation error or just a mistake by whoever put it up on the site. If so what in the cannon name for it. If they are dif places I'd also like info on that plez.

I presume it's the same place. Like how Sindar and Cyndar are the same. So it's a translation error.
I know it's spelled Kamaro in S3... but is it ever mentioned in S2? I'm not sure, if so how was it spelled there?

Couldn't tell you the canon name though..
That is all.

It's spelled Camaro in Suikoden 2.

From what I gather, Camus is from there.

Same place, same pronunciation, but different spelling is all.

I like to think about situations like this in this way. Where Americans would spell the word color, British citizens would spell it colour. I'd imagine people from Dunan would spell the word Camaro, while Grasslanders would spell it Kamaro.

Actually, isn't it more that Suikosource called it Camaro long before Suikoden III and the official spelling was defined?

As far as I can tell it's not mentioned in Suikoden II by name as Richmond only says that Camus is from the Grasslands and I can't imagine where else they'd mention it. From that I surmise that suikosource got the information that he's from Kamaro from an outside source or Suikogaiden Vol.2 long before Suikoden III was released.

So unless someone can post the exact quote where Suikoden II calls it Camaro I believe it's simply suikosource forgetting to update their info with the defined name as of Suikoden III.

Nah, Old Book titled "Grasslands" mentions "Free Knights of Camaro."
