I don't think it's fair to say the PSP version of FFIV's translation is the worst when the original SNES one is barely legible at times

The original japanese line is "Sorry. If you're going to bear a grudge, take it up with yourself or God."

It's one of the only cases where something in FFT's original translation actually resembles the intent, though it's not nearly as terse as they made it sound in English.

I think Delita not having feelings for Ovelia and planning on killing her all along anyway ruins the tragedy of that last scene.

Agreed, the ending just doesn't work if he didn't genuinely care for her. But for whatever reason, I remember there being a lot of vocal opposition back in the day, and that the knife he used to stab her was hidden in his bouquet.

She lived? I never heard that. I know Delita lived and went on to have a long reign, but I never heard that she made it. I have a hard time believing they'd ever be able to co-exist when she clearly had zero trust for him, and then he did stab her.

Yeah I can't find it off the top of my head but Matsuno tweeted about it. His twitter is basically just a trivia/lore dump for things he never put into games.

"occasional jank" is a very forgiving way to describe how long stretches of the backhalf of FFT's original translation are incomprehensible babble

There's a reason all the lines people remember are from the first chapter

As much as a lot of Chrono Cross was a bunch of plots haphazardly slapped together, goddamn did it have one of the greatest game OSTs ever.

I feel like Chrono Cross suffers from being the first game that many people can remember that came out blatantly, unmistakeably unfinished, at a time when that hadn't started happening constantly.

Xenogears came out first didn't it

As someone who very recently played through FFT for the first time I can say that, at least on my end, Wiegraf was the only time I actually had a problem and the game was pretty much clown easy after that except for the rooftop fight, which isn't actually challenging but just RNG bullshit.

Yikes, those are some pretty hefty bugs. I guess I can be glad FFVPR exists for the new soundtrack and just keep playing the older versions. Though I guess maybe the bugs can be worked out by the mod scene? Though that's definitely a lot more work than just changing enemy names.

I mean S-E will probably just patch it?

Vayne taking over the world is the same functional thing as Ashe doing whatever her poo poo is: humanity taking control of their own destiny from the Occuria. Also we don’t know who would have really won that war, and it’s not like the future they were fighting for lasted very long, what with them all getting cataclysmed back into a Catholic feudalism/medieval era.

I don't know if it's "the same functional thing" when Vayne very clearly has no problem grinding however many people under his heel that he needs to to accomplish his goal

not every grunting noise is erotic what the gently caress is going on here what is wrong with you people (or person I guess)

roomtone posted:

sorry folks. i guess the conspicuous noises and animations that only exist in this genre are just incidental background stuff with no intent behind it. the creators probably generated these things automatically.

someone in gbs bought that for me as a joke. i haven't thought of anything to replace it yet, didn't really want an avatar. but yes i know, probably time to pay $10 and get rid of it.

ah gently caress it i'll stop posting in this thread. it's a fan thread so there's no point in coming in with these kind of opinions.
