Granado Espada Trivia 2: Things you really don't need to know.
Written by gyl on Friday, December 07, 2007Okay, after a long while time for another Granado Espada Trivia! Here are just a couple of random stuff I have accumulated over time. Have fun. A lot of things here are quite useless. Read on to burn time or something.
- There is also a Ghost Busters reference in the game. Prior to assigning a quest, an NPC claims uses the phrase "ain't afraid of no ghosts."
- The nickname of "Granado Espada" in Korea is a "dressing game" this is partly due to the fact that update patch of the game mostly introduces new game costumes for characters.
- The Roof, Plow and Tail stances used by the fighter class in game are based on three actual guards found in the Medieval and Renaissance German school of fencing. The guards depicted in game are similar to those used by the longsword
- All the names of sGE server are taken from Miguel de Cervantes, Agostino Carracci, Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, Antonio Lucio Vivaldi, Johann Pachelbel
- Most of the recruitable character's names are from prominent people during the renaissance period.
- There's a real person named Pánfilo de Narváez and he was a Spanish conqueror and soldier in the Americas. So much for being a battle cook in the world of Granado Espada.
- Brunie Etienne's surname (Étienne) is equivalent to Stephen in French. While her first name may be derived from the leading humanist of the renaissance's Leonardo Bruni.
- Ramiro's named probably came from the Spanish King Ramiro I of Astarius/Aragon.
- Adelina Esperanza's surname is equivalent to Hope in Spanish.
- If you serach M'Boma in wikipedia the closest turn out would be Edwin Sam - M’boma who is a Sierra Leonean military commander.
- Soho is an area in the centre of the West End of London, England, in the City of Westminster. It is an entertainment district which for much of the later part of the 20th century had a reputation for its sex shops as well as its night life and film industry.
- Lorch Furuholmen shares the same surname with some guitarist/keyboardist Magne Furuholmen.
- Jean-Pierre Gascon or formerely known as Gertrude came from Gertrude the Great who was a German Benedictine and mystic writer.
