Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale/Trivia

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Doing It for the Art: The English localization came about as a result of two Goons looking to break into game localization. Although the formation of Carpe Fulgur came about partly as a way for the two to gain credentials a post-release interview clearly shows their passion for translating and localizing, even namedropping Ted Woolsey as a major influence. The fact they've done the same damn thing with the games spiritual prequel shows they're truly dedicated to their craft.
  • Fan Nickname: C-c-c-c-combo breaker, basically to anyone who messes up your exp combo by refusing a sale. This will happen if you sell an item too high (or offer too low a price if they're selling an item to you) for the customer. Happens most often with the little girl or one of the adventurers, but especially Euria, who refuses to buy, and mostly sells crap merchandise to you at ridiculously inflated prices. You'll either have to reload and pray you don't see her in the shop, or better yet, never activate her scene (which occurs by visiting the park during morning/noon after Recette has at least 100k pix, the ingame currency).
