Line 259:

* As the protagonist of ''[[Knights of the Old Republic]]'', you know almost every language you come across, seeing them as subtitles. A Wookiee character is surprised that you can understand him - really, to facilitate [[Bilingual Dialogue]] most Star Wars characters understand if not speak several languages - and you have the option to wonder to an assassination droid with translator capacities why you can't understand the Sandpeople tongue. HK tells you that he knows you pick up languages with the help of [[The Force]], but it doesn't substitute for actual linguistic training. Towards the end of the game, {{spoiler|only you can}} understand Rakatan, which startles your companions. As {{spoiler|the Dark Lord Revan, you}} ''ripped the language out of their heads'' and forced them to comprehend Basic.

** ''[[Knights of the Old Republic]] II'' handles the situation a little more believably; you don't actually know all those languages, but a small sonic imprint sensor you picked up in the first level is equipped with a translator unit that helps you out and you don't run across anyone who speaks anything obscure.

* [[Metal Gear Solid|Solid Snake]]'s trophy in ''[[Super Smash Bros]] Brawl'', as well as various bios from the ''[[Metal Gear]]'' series itself, states that he is fluent in six languages. One of these languages is implied to be French in ''[[Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots]]'', and if the Novelization for ''[[Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty]]'' is anything to go by, he also seems to have a fluency in Russian due to taking courses in Russian as part of his FOXHOUND Training.

** Big Boss, his father, is not any different, being explicitly shown to know Russian and English (the former due to his tutelage under The Boss), and is implied to be fluent in French as well, and at the very ''least'' has some knowledge of Spanish in ''[[Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker]]''. In one briefing tape, its also implied that he subconsciously learned how to speak cat.

** Kazuhira Miller, aside from Japanese and English (the former being his native language), was also stated to be fluent in Spanish.
