Comments on: Re-localizing Chrono Trigger http://www.siliconera.com/2007/02/12/re-localizing-chrono-trigger/ The secret level in the world of video game news.

The names that I changed (for example "Revolver") were only made that way because of space limitations. The actual original name is "Kaiten-giri" which translates to "Revolving Attack", and since the character limit would not allow that, I had to settle for "Revolver". Same for "Wind Cut", the translation for the original name would be "Whirlwind Cut". I cut it down because of space limitations.However, I found a great translator, and when the project gets finished it will have MUCH more than the screenshots I made showed. The character limits will be much bigger, everything will be retranslated from the ground up, and much more. You might also notice that I did the hack in question using the US game as a base, the finished project will be using the Japanese game.Also, I never said CT's translation was "awful". However, I do know that many parts of the script were changed (Crono's mother actually had a NAME, Magus was known as the "Demon King", etc...), and that Woosley himself admitted that during translation he had to take out large pieces of various conversations. This is what I am trying to fix by re-translating the game.Thanks for the comments though, I'm glad that there are people out there who notice these types of things. ^_^~DS Actually, the idea behind this project was to get someone interested in translating the game.

Furthermore, if this guy wants attention, he should go out and actually translate a game that needs translating, rather than just screwing around with the names in Chrono Trigger, which is hardly a big deal. Seems the amount of purists on the internet who want their games to be exactly like the Japanese version are getting out of hand. This is hardly newsworthy.
