Hello! This is my official reaction/ translation thread for Piofiore! Let& #39;s have fun with it~

Feel free to mute this at #piofioreaffetto

I& #39;ll start by translating the title!

Pio Fiore—Pious Flower

The original title is ピオフィオーレの晩鐘 or "Piofiore& #39;s Curfew" (lit. Evening Bell). I& #39;m sure they changed it to "Fated Memories" in the English translation to make the story sound more interesting.

I& #39;ve been playing for only an hour, and I already have 330 screenshots. This is Nicola& #39;s power over me already.

I& #39;ll start with some Latin phrases that are everywhere in the game! This one especially is used for decoration a lot!

"Certa amittimus dum incerta petimus. Mors certa, hora incerta."

"We lose things certain while pursing things uncertain. Death is certain, it& #39;s hour is not."

This next one is often written as a part of the Piofiore logo.

"Quo magis tegitur, tectus magis aestuat ignis."

"The more the fire is hidden, the stronger it will blaze."

On that note, the word "coprifuoco" just means curfew!

#piofioreaffetto #piofiore

This next bit is an excerpt from the Medieval Latin song "Dum Diane Vitrea."

See pics for original text and a translation!

#piofioreaffetto #piofiore

Here& #39;s a recording of a group singing "Dum Diane Vitrea," if you& #39;re interested in hearing what it sounds like!

Now, I& #39;ll translate the five (5!) phrases that they stacked on the side of this image lol

Second line is just "Certa amittimus dum incerta petimus. Mors certa, hora incerta." Already translated that above!

#piofioreaffetto #piofiore

Actually, there& #39;s a misspelling in the previous translation, so just let me fix that here...

"We lose things certain while pursuing things uncertain. Death is certain, it& #39;s hour is not."

First line is actually three different phrases, let& #39;s start on them!

"Calamitas virtutis occasio est."

"Calamity is an occasion for virtue."

#piofioreaffetto #piofiore

Second one!

"audentem Forsque Venusque iuvat."

"Venus, like Fortune, favors the bold." Or, "Fortune and luck favor the brave."

This one& #39;s by Ovid, Ars Amatoria.

#piofioreaffetto #piofiore

This is just Ovid& #39;s rendition of the proverb "fortis Fortuna adiuvat" ("fortune favors the bold"). Found in Terence& #39;s "Phormio," line 203.

Ok, last one!

"audendo magnus tegitur timor"

"Cowardice hides behind acts of courage."

On another note, Nicola& #39;s character song is damn good

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😩" title="Mattes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Mattes Gesicht"> Kimura Ryōhei has such a nice voice, no matter what ahhhhh

I& #39;ll translate it later too!

[piofiore spoilers]

So, I finished all of Nicola& #39;s endings. His tragic ending just goes to show you that revenge strips a person of their entire humanity. By the end of it, neither Nicola nor Liliana are really even human anymore. It& #39;s all just a show

#piofioreaffetto #piofiore

[piofiore spoilers]

Roberto has a major god complex. He just can& #39;t stand the depravity around him, thinks the world is better off without rotten people who pollute the world, so he ruins himself to "save" the world. It never works out like that. Never

#piofioreaffetto #piofiore

I think this game is not very otome-like. If you compare it to Code: Realize, you immediately recognize the difference. Instead, I prefer to view this game as a view into other philosophies. It is interesting to see the honor and disgust of the mafia.

Idk why I& #39;m making a thread about this... I feel like I& #39;m talking to a wall... but it just makes me feel the tiniest bit less lonely...? I always feel so terrible these days, so if even just one person has fun learning all this Latin/Italian with me, maybe it was all worth it...
