HD DAD posted:Wasn’t there a jrpg where an entire sidequest just…wasn’t translated? I’d say that’s the worst translation job. I know Persona 1 had an entire 'sidequest' (read: entire second plotline for the game) that was cut from the first English release.

On the other hand, wasn’t the English release of FF7 also the first version that had those kind of really important scenes that explained Zack and Cloud’s relationship and Zack’s fate?

Commander Keene posted:Yeah, I agree. The SA reference in the GBA/DS FF4 localizations is hardly the most egregious example you could find. It reads like fairly normal speech if you don't know it's a reference, unlike the aforementioned Lunar jokes or the doge reference in Tri Force Heroes. The ultimate ninja reference, however, aged really poorly and sucked even for the time.

FF7R is bad, because people turn the camera around after opening treasure chests. That's what a YouTubesman told me.

Final Fantasy XII story stuff that I'm trying to refresh my memory on. For some reason it never occurred to me to question why the statue containing the Dusk Shard in the palace at Rabanastre opens up automatically to reveal the stone to Vaan. Combined with Vaan also seeing the visions of Rasler that the Occuria show to Ashe, is it meant to be implied that he might also be descended from Raithwall?

Just out or curiosity, anyone prefer the original translation of FFT? The new translation was fine, but the original felt more natural (if that makes sense).

No because the original translation might have a couple of cool sounding lines but it's also a bad transition that barely makes any sense half of the time.

I think I like them about equally, weirdly enough. I think the WotL translation has some great lines, but the retranslated names are often way overwrought, and so are some moments of dialogue. On the other hand, the original is often nonsense, but it does still have the line "Blame yourself or God!" and it has the cool spellcasting quotes, so they both have their charms. It's possible I'm warmer towards the original translation than I otherwise would be because I've played it enough times since I was a kid that I can decipher what it's trying to say. Without that history I'd probably be a lot less generous to it.

Both are kinda jank from what I’ve seen/remembered, the original has that classic PSX-era “why the does a text heavy game need a dedicated translator, just have a bug fixer do it” jank and WotL is trying too hard to be flowery instead of just getting Alexander O Smith to just do it like XII.

Harrow posted:Final Fantasy XII story stuff that I'm trying to refresh my memory on. On one hand, based purely on how historical conqueror steppe nomads tend to go its probably easier to identify who isn't related to Raithwall. The point of that scene is different though the full context isn't clear until later when Vaan puts it together. The occuria are just looking for someone who will use the shards to do terrible things to put history in motion the way the Occuria want. At that point both Vaan and Ashe are viable candidates. Soon, when Vaan rejects his revenge quest they'll stop appearing to him and he'll discuss that with Ashe at the Steppe village which is like, the single most important plot scene in the game and why Vaan is not just replaceable in the story like people claim

That makes sense. They're just looking for someone who wants revenge against the Empire, and anyone revenge-obsessed would do. Vaan's just in the right place, at the right time, and with the right mindset for them. But he grows past it much earlier than Ashe does. Side note, I just got to Bur-Omisace in my Struggle for Freedom playthrough and it's still pretty fun, so seconding the recommendation in the OP to try it out if anyone here has the PC version.

Harrow posted:Final Fantasy XII story stuff that I'm trying to refresh my memory on. I have no idea on that first one. As for the second. When Vaan and Ashe speak alone on the bridge. Vaan seems a little uncertain at who it is he saw. He seems to think it was Reks. We know we saw Prince Rasler, but it could be the players are only seeing things from Ashe's viewpoint. The Occuria mayhap noticed Vaan's desire for revenge over the loss of a loved one as well and reached out. Maybe just having the same motivation and feelings as Ashe at the time was enough to be affected by the spell that was weaved. Notably after Vaan relinquishes his desire for revenge in that same conversation he can no longer see the apparition. Edit: Beat. Why must I type so slowly?

By the time of Tactics the Occuria are gone. So is most of the magick and just about all of the magitech, too, with the exception of the occasional rare firearm. Even moogles are extinct in Tactics (there are a lot of lore items you can find and one of them talks about moogles as an extinct species). The Ivalice of FFT is very much a "dark age" type setting, with the wonders of the past lost and the future uncertain. IIRC Square has been very inconsistent on whether FFXII's Ivalice and Tactics's Ivalice are the same universe at all, incidentally. And that's not even counting whether Vagrant Story is in the Ivalice universe, something that Matsuno himself has gone back and forth on. I think the implication is that FFXII's Ivalice is far in the past of the one in Tactics, but there have been later implications that they're separate universes like the other FF games. Then again, maybe that's just Dissidia canon. Then again, it's not like there's any other source. So I guess the Ivalice timeline is whatever you feel in your heart.

There’s a fuckload of references in FFT to a bunch of wacko poo poo buried in the tavern missions/rumors poo poo. Like the crystal tower from FF3. I choose to believe it’s the same Ivalice and FFTA2 also happens in the same Ivalice. One must imagine myself happy

FFTA and FFTA2 are kind of hilarious because they both feature a magic book taking kids to Ivalice, but one of them does it by manifesting a dreamworld, and the other one does it through actual apparent time travel. I remember FFTA making some people think that the Ivalice of Tactics and XII was only a storybook world in the first place, which was never the intention. I bounced off FFTA2, unfortunately, even though I liked FFTA. Something about the way the equipment unlocking system worked with monster drops just got annoying to me so I couldn't really get into it.

I may be in the minority, but Giruvegan through the Great Crystal is one of my favorite sequences in the entire series. And yes, I unironically love the “lol gently caress you” map of the crystal the game gives you.
