In the English translation Frog speaks in a grandiose, semi-Shakespearean manner, using words such as "thou," "thee" and "shalt," though strangely no one else from his era speaks that way—including Frog himself when shown in flashbacks as Glenn. Its interesting to note that in the Japanese version, he does not speak with the "Middle Ages Accent", and instead talks rather rudely(often cursing). Ironically Frog's old English speaking style has been removed from Chrono Trigger DS and adheres to his original speech in the Japanese version. | In the English translation Frog speaks in a grandiose, semi-Shakespearean manner, using words such as "thou," "thee" and "shalt," though strangely no one else from his era speaks that way—including Frog himself when shown in flashbacks as Glenn.
