Uh, no. That was not what I was saying. At all. I said the name Aerith sounds stupid. As an alternative, I suggested that if they wanted to invoke earth without sounding stupid, they could have named her earth in some other language. You're the one harping about a man named Cloud, which is a goofy name but at least doesn't sound like a speech impediment!

The 'speech impediment' thing doesn't make sense. Do you think the word Earth sounds like someone with a speech impediment? Because the only way it sounds like a 'speech impediment' (which is a weird way to phrase it in the first place) is if you're starting from "Aeris." Otherwise it resembles and sounds like the word Earth.

Ironically https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/airth "Airth" is a Gaelic alternate spelling for Earth so we can get ALL the FFVII name discussions up in here. (It isn't pronounced the same, this is a joke.)

I'm curious how many other new things will get put into SMRPG remake / what changes might be made to the script translation. They already renamed Psychopath which I hate lol. Hope the mysterious guy behind the house in Mushroom Kingdom Town steps out for this one

Huh, I wonder if the hidden Toad Town News message board in Paper Mario was a reference to this? :allears: I felt like such a little detective when I found that as a kid.

I have to assume MP4 is a launch window release for the Switch 2, with maybe a regular Switch release like Nintendo did with TP/BotW.

I may be mis-remembering, but I feel like those Detective Jake Hunter games had something like this. I played one on the DS back in high school and the writing was VERY dry, but I believe there was a later DS version that had some more character to the writing.

Aha, here we go:

Wikipedia posted:

Jake Hunter: Detective Chronicles is a detective visual novel adventure game developed by WorkJam and published by Arc System Works in Japan and Aksys Games in the United States. It is part of the Jake Hunter series of detective games, and the first to be localized in the West. It was released on July 19, 2007 in Japan, and June 11, 2008 in the United States for Nintendo DS. Marking the series' 20th anniversary, it includes remakes of the series' first five games as well as an additional case. Unlike its Japanese version, the initial Western version of the game lacked three of the cases, and was widely criticized for its poor localization. It was re-released on May 26, 2009 as Jake Hunter Detective Story: Memories of the Past, also for Nintendo DS, which received more positive reviews for its completely new translation and inclusion of the game's full content.

I can't stand the modern Dragon Quest translations so the thought of everything in SMRPG having different names is giving me indigestion. I'll live as long as it's just the names and they're not also trying to layer on a bunch of lame rear end jokes and wordplay where none were originally intended.

It's just that to me, suddenly deciding the dude's name is "Speardovich" is as weird as deciding all Shy Guys are going to be called Hi-Hos from now on, or that Boo is called Teresa. Not a value judgment on the names, it's just not what I've been calling 'em for 27 years now. If that makes me Cranky Kong I accept it!

I wonder what the cutoff is for "too famous/long-running to be renamed." Obviously the characters that only appeared in RPG are fair game. On the opposite end you have translations like "Bowser" which are too embedded not to be permanent now. What about other one-game characters, say, from SMB 2? Birdo is pretty much locked, but would they ever rename, like, Mouser back to Don Churuge? Wart to Mamu? If FLUDD from Sunshine came back but was called PUMP would anyone care?

Maybe a hot take but I honestly VASTLY prefer the redone look. It's quite a bit more expressive and you can feel the motion in the whole thing by just changing the face alone. I don't really know how to explain it but the slightly downward facing face, with the eyes looking up creates a sense of movement and the new expression is just much more interesting than the original?

I think people freaked out so much about making Kirby angry they are now seeing this change and it's short circuiting them. But also angry Kirby rules so they were wrong there too

Technically it's a type of spear. :colbert:

Nah but like I said that one's not that big a deal. In DQ they did stuff like changing longrunning series name "Dharma Temple" to "Alltrades Abbey" so they could make a lame joke about "Jack of Alltrades" transforming into "The Master of Nunn." But now every translation of every new game just uses that name, forever. The names used to be the same between English and Japanese and now they're not!

Again, though, I recognize that this is a very stupid thing to care about. It's not that big a deal and I will play and enjoy the remake regardless :)

Dragon Quest is a series based heavily around silly puns and ridiculous names. Dharma Temple is supposed to be one of those, but it isn't really something that works as easily in English so they went for a name pun that carries a similar weight.

Edit: Like the point of that particular character is that, on the spot, he comes up with the name Jadharma and considers Akudharma or Warudharma. The "Jack of Alltrades -> Master Of Nu'un" thing captures the goofiness of this joke where he's basically called himself Evildharma
