I've been marathoning the entire series on Twitch for the past month or so, and I'm using the PSP version for I-IV.

I HAVE the GBA version, but honestly the text and the music aren't the best. Though I want the extra jobs and content...

Is it worth it to just play a fan translation of the SNES version or is sticking with the GBA version the best? How is the PS1 version?

The GBA version has the best translation except for calling the bad guy the Former Death so that's probably preferable.

I played the GBA version recently and had a great time! I thought the text was great and didn't really notice the music problems, but sure patch it if it's a problem.

Or you can wait for the new Steam/Mobile versions, I don't know what translations those will have.

My preference is GBA version. Steam/mobile version uses the dialogue from them, and has the bonus dungeons too, but is... really weird looking.

Faris going Y'har, me harr! every other line doesn't help. Takes a badass pirate with some story and depth and turns her into the pirate cliche.

Yeah I can't do that while streaming it.

I also didn't know they made Faris sound like Bikke the Pirate either. Oh well that can be fun to read.

Take makes zero sense

Either call him Exodus or X-Death. Anything else is nonsensical.

Is 'former death' not just a similar way of saying 'undead'? I think it's a neat name.

Anyway who cares, call him what you want!

So if you're going to lean into the cheesy 90 villains name, lean all the way in. There isn't a more 90s villain name than X-Death
