masterpug53 01/08/21 9:49:17 AM #15:	I mean, it has to be FF Tactics' overall translation, as it actively altered / hampered the game experience. The rest are quick instances, most of which at least have camp / meme value. And certain Kefka Woosleyisms were the only thing I genuinely missed in the FF 6 retranslation (apart from my namesake Master Pug of course, but I knew well in advance that that was most likely getting updated to Tonberry King).

Sir Will 01/08/21 10:13:01 AM #27:	Are these examples from the games or the issues to focus on? Cause the ones listed for VII are tame as hell but it's winning. You can see full well what is meant. Seems like something that changes the meaning of a story or character would be bigger issue, unless there's a specific reason for a change. Like, localizations will sometimes tweak things, but if meaning is lost or a character is misinterpreted because of a bad translation, that's bad. Squall was supposed to have different meanings with his 'whatever's? --- River Song: Well, I was off to this gay gypsy bar mitzvah for the disabled when I thought 'Gosh, the Third Reich's a bit rubbish, I think i'll kill the Fuhrer' <cite>Sir Will posted [p:949258831] in What is th...

philsov 01/08/21 10:18:26 AM #28:	The story of FFT was always easy to follow, and I argue that the purple prose of WotL made the character interactions worse. The only ambiguity is Weigraf's Velius summoning, where he calls himself The Devil, when really he ought to have called himself "a demon" "Tough, blame yourself or God" is a much more direct and insulting line than "Forgive me. 'Tis your birth and faith that wrong you, not I." Still, it's more the inbattle translations and half-phonetics of FFT that really take the cake. Rich instead of Lich Fire Bracelet is a dragon's basic attack instead of, you know, Fire Breath Steady Sword instead of Statis Sword Move in Water lets you walk on water Walk on Water lets you move through water And let's not forget the campy-ass propositions of "I had a good feeling" "With Wizard around this job was easy!" --- Remember that I won't rest, 'til we share the same tense Just know, to me, you're better late than never again. <cite>philsov posted [p:949259002] in What is th...

Fair points, minus the story being easy to follow, in my humble opinion. There is a lot of Lore to catch up on via the world map in the differing chapters that piece extra things together. Things that if you miss them, it kind of makes the politics of the story not as compelling, at least from my perspective. The little twist with St Ajora doesn't come until that very last stage (unless I missed something). I feel it could've been introduced sooner. Side bar. Just hit Dorter on Proper. Digging the mod so far. Not overwhelming but so far just a smidge more difficult than the original, minus that very first battle where he just made all the enemies level 1 with no gear lol.

philsov 01/08/21 10:57:06 AM #37:	DoGCyN posted... The little twist with St Ajora doesn't come until that very last stage (unless I missed something). I feel it could've been introduced sooner. It was introduced chapter 3, with the Germonik Scriptures, after Weigraf/Izlude in Orbonne. Malak confronts you about it, lol. It should be accessible in the Brave Story, and that's the book that is highly sought after by the Temple Knights for the twofold aspect of preventing the general population from knowing the truth, and also a means to gain/summon Ajora. More semi-fun facts! There's an iconic fight location with some gallows dubbed "Golgorond Execution Site" (Golgollada Gallows in the wotl version). Which is too close a coincidence to Golgotha which is the hill Jesus was literally crucified on. --- Remember that I won't rest, 'til we share the same tense Just know, to me, you're better late than never again. <cite>philsov posted [p:949260203] in What is th...

More semi-fun facts! There's an iconic fight location with some gallows dubbed "Golgorond Execution Site" (Golgollada Gallows in the wotl version).

Sir Will 01/08/21 11:42:06 AM #42:	mattymad posted... Also I wanna add that, the original PS release told you to attack the guard scorpion when it's tail was up. Younger me never understood why I could never get past Guard Scorpion and had to get my dad to do it. I think it does then show a second sentence that says. "It'll attack with a counter attack", but there's no clear connection between those two sentences and it certainly isn't how we'd instruct someone in English. https://youtu.be/0QvUMxWZcvs?t=83 --- River Song: Well, I was off to this gay gypsy bar mitzvah for the disabled when I thought 'Gosh, the Third Reich's a bit rubbish, I think i'll kill the Fuhrer' <cite>Sir Will posted [p:949261734] in What is th...
