Revision as of 11:43, 8 November 2004
How did the Chozo leave Tallon IV?
"the Chozo of Tallon IV willfully left their bodies behind and began wandering the universe as spirits"
- I don't remember this. Is this in the North American version? I'm pretty sure that it's not in the European version. AFAIK in my version it just says that the Chozo left.
- I do recall Metroid Prime stating that the Chozo became spirits in some way - the Chozo ghosts are Chozo who were 'corrupted' in some fashion (probably by the Phazon). -Sean Curtin 02:50, Sep 4, 2004 (UTC)
- The two different versions of MP cause all kinds of storyline hiccups for the Wikipedia, don't they? :) Anyway, I guess it must be only in my North American version, so I added a note about that. Also, it specifically says in my version what happened to the wandering Chozo spirits. The Phazon meteor chrashing into Tallon IV messed them all up, but some more than others - the ghosts you fight are "the Turned," Chozo driven completely mad by the Phazon radiation. --Sparky the Seventh Chaos 17:31, Sep 4, 2004 (UTC)
- Yeah I've looked over the some of the chozo lore entries on gamefaqs.com and they tell a different story. In the european version AFAIK the chozo just left. And we aren't actually told if the chozo ghosts are chozo at all. All it says is that they are entities that take on chozo form. ____Ebelular 23:15, 4 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- Hmm, interesting. Well, why not add that to the article? Both versions are, of course, totally valid. ^_^ I already know about some of the differences - I write fanfiction via AIM with an English friend, and we've bumped into the version differences many a time. Eventually we might actually compare all our entries and see what kind of weirdness comes up. I sure hope they can get MP2's storyline sorted out before the North American release this time. ^^'--Sparky the Seventh Chaos 05:52, Sep 5, 2004 (UTC)
- Can't believe I forgot to do this. After I read that I sat down a transcribed from my game because there is mainly North American versions out there. If you're interested the European version is currently living at http://www.netsoc.ucd.ie/~rory/chozo-lore-eu.txt. I added that to the article and some links to places that have Chozo Lore entries. ____Ebelular 18:29, 17 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Choujin vs. Chojin
Doesn't Chojin mean Super-God? Is Choujin an alternate spelling or a different word? I can't see the Kanji.
- Well, for what it's worth, I ran the second set of chracters through the Babel Fish and got "Bird human family." I know absolutely nothing about Japanese, but it looks like choujin-zoku means what the article says it does... --Sparky the Seventh Chaos 23:38, Sep 16, 2004 (UTC)
- Indeed, completely different kanji are used for "Super-God", they're homonyms. Chojin is an alternative spelling for both "bird-people" and "super-god", just depends if you romanise the extended vowel. AstroBlue 11:43, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)
