So does Marisa speak with a boyish/country accent or not? I've seen her talking translated at least three different ways.

She talks like Jotaro

Her speech is a little rough-and-tumble without being macho. Plus as a person she's big on hard work, community, personal liberty, and gratuitous explosions. So giving her a mild Texan accent seems about right.

In PCB, Alice pretty much calls herself a city-dweller and Marisa a country bumpkin.

Since this is a relevant thread for it, what would be the closest equivalent for Futo's accent? Some people translate it into Olde English, but i heard from some that her accent is more like the way a grandma would talk (And that that's the idea, she acts like an enthusiastic child but talks like a granny), is this accurate?

How does a grandma talk? With 70s slang?

She’s got her own tongue of speaking, and I’d say that’s more like one with an accent to it ze

She refers to herself with Ware (never used in modern Japanese except in incantations or to make a character sound centuries old) and Jibun (detached/military; less "I walked over" than "One walks over"). She refers to others with Onushi (used by nobility and very old people) and Omae (blunt/rude).

I fucking hate when translators do that.
Or when they translate japanese dialects to shitty english dialects like southern.

What should they do then, have them all sound the same even though they don't?

She talks a bit boyishly.

A lot of people translate this my making her drop "g"s and stuff, which I think is better than her using "ze" in English. Also, she doesn't say "ze" THAT much

Middle English, I guess.

I actually don't know, but definitely an ancient dialect. That said her Japanese is more like "modern with some weird flairs".

I hope not. Shakespeare is Early Modern English (or just... Shakespearean English). Middle and Old English aren't even considered the same language.

This is Middle English:
>Forrþrihht anan se time commþatt ure Drihhtin wollde ben borenn i þiss middellærd forr all mannkinne.

This is Old English:
>Hƿæt! ƿē Gār-Dena in ġeār-dagum, þēod-cyninga, þrym ġefrūnon, hū ðā æþelingas ellen fremedon.

I think you're being semantical. Rendering things closer to modern spelling and with clear phonetics, most of it's just strange phrasing and odd word-order

why are you asking questions you're too specicifically unmotivated to follow up on with what i'd assume relative ease, or am I correct in assuming you're ignoring your lessons and defaulting to the parasite mindset as often as possible, cause that still underplays you.
