It's always good to be reminded that the language of the brave and the bold is the first language for some people outside of Sweden It must be a bit weird now when the rest of Finland does not know any swedish (as opposed to before when all finns knew some swedish at least)? Is it still the way that the upper class in Helsinki speak swedish?

S!

I put my local game store to get the Collector's Edition for me Mazex, every Finn learns Swedish in elementary school and high school. So called "forced Swedish" as Finland is bi-lingual. We were once under Swdish rule for 700 years so there are some Swedish speaking areas in the west coast..2.5% of population I think.

I was born in Sweden and hearing the so called "finnish swedes" talk was like WTF..they are raping the language. Pronounciation was horrible and they even had some finnish words there mixed in..EH?! Göteborg dialect FTW! And some of them spoke Swedish only to show off, even they fluently usually spoke Finnish.

Anyways..Collector's Edition is the way to go

Let me tell you this, the Swedish speaking people in Finland -Finlandssvenskar- aren't just one entity. In the south Borgå, Helsingfors, Esbo -Nyland- lives the "proper swedish speakers" as they like to refer themselves as. They consider themselves to be a tad bit "better" then the swedish speakers living on the westcoast -where I live-. They are the "elite" of the minority.

In western Finland (Pohjanmaa/Österbotten) -which is mainly an agricultural place- there are a lot of Finlandssvenskar but since they have the agricultural heritage they are not considered as "refined" as the city dwelling "ruling class" people in the south. Also there are TONS of different -some are really werid-*ss- Swedish dialects here. I could barely understand my girlfriend the first time we spoke to each other -and we're both supposed to be swedish speaking LOL!- Some dialects -like in Närpes/Närpiö- me and even other Swedish speakers FROM Finland have a really hard time understanding.

I could tell you a lot more but I guess I'm waaaay out of topic already
