Thread: Cannot understand/translate some texts in game (Sakura Spirit)

I had to read that sentence multiple times to understand what's happening there. I almost want to say that this is an incorrect english sentence. "to her". The reason this game is creating so many problems for Nexen is because This game is using quite a bit of more Old English style phrasing. This isn't an exact thing, where I see it and think "oh hey, old english", it's not extremely subtle, but it starts to show after reading a few sentences. It's that the phrasing is much more convoluted and complex than anything you'll see in modern writing. On top of that, this isn't REAL old english, it's a modern day person (who likely doesnt study linguistics), who is trying to imitate old english. That's probably why it says "to her" here, because it doesnt make much sense to me, either.

Okay maybe not "old english", but the writer is really trying to write complex, and some of the characters seem to have accents, which means they use things like "double negatives". "I ain't never gonna"

This one's interesting. "That" is there because...Um... It's a big sentence?... All I can say is, without it, the two halves of the sentence seem shoved into one. Research Clauses, Subjects, and Predicates, if you want to learn about english "commas" ( , ) , and our weird conjunctions, and what makes "that" needed here... "you get", here, means you gain, you obtain the motivation... (This sentence COULD be phrased, much simpler, as "Because there are stronger people around, you get the motivation to improve." OR "You get the motivation to improve, because there are stronger people around."). Starting the sentence with "It's" is what makes the "that" needed. It's saying, if you're surrounded by people that are better than you, you feel like you aren't good, and that you need to "catch up", or you feel like you are behind everyone else.

How can I make out, was `several` used in some sentence like as `several times` or like as `several things`?

Didn't expected interesting Texts even for native speaker :) Hope, you will also help me with the second part of it (I'll post it later).

And of course big thanks for you!
