So earlier this evening I was showing my housemates the "What is a Man?" scene from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, and my one Housemate who is an English Major took offense to the grammar of the sentence "Mankind ill needs a savior such as you.", saying over and over "Ill needs? It doesn't make sense, it just doesn't work." Help me out here guys. I'm certain I've heard this phrase used more than in just SotN, and while it probably isn't up the the standards of modern english, it seems perfectly acceptable for 1797 Translyvania.
