anyway i hate shakespeare with a passion, and from what ive seen seem to like the original classic psx version that i beat 2+ times (i forget) cos the story lines were short and simple like i make in rpgs lawl

no need to ressurect shakespeare again i have to deal with him in english class almost every day

so if you EVER say that the move names should have been kept the same, i’ll just have to breathe some dragon bracelet at you.

chi is a vital force that flows through the body. emotional energy is concentrated in the fist and then propelled forward. this is a legendary technique fabled to have been used in ancient asia. if “emotional energy” doesn’t sound like aura, then what does? i suppose you’d say prana wasn’t life force either. aurablast speaks of a blast of emotional energy, thus, it is the same as chiblast, or pranablast, or lifeforceblast, or whatever. just live with it.

alexander o smith DOES rock. kudos to him for vagrant story. i admit, however, that words like “succor” are a bit over the top. nice use of “envenomed” though.

on that note, lord of the rings sounded british because OMFG who’d have guessed that it was filmed by BRITISH PEOPLE. what other famous movies are done by british people? you guessed it, HARRY POTTER.

so if you want fewer fantasy films to sound british, then please please please try convincing an american film producer to finance the creation of a fantasy movie. good luck with that.

name changes like algus to argath??? well, you’re WRONG. his name was always argath, but it was MISTRANSLATED because they were so hurried. the L-R mixup? the S instead of a TH? that’s all classic japanese-english mistranslation. argue with me and you fail at life. or at least you fail at being otaku.

of all the criticism that i’ve seen so far, the only bit that really strikes me as true is what somedude just said. “some elf-based LARPer’s wet dream” indeed. names like ellywyyn really annoy me because they are overused.

Vagrant Story and FFXII were two of my favorite translations (Alexander O. Smith roooooocks), so I’m sure I’ll love the writing in War of the Lions when I pick it up.

*shakes head* I couldn’t care less if you agree with me.

Hell, all of the reviews I’ve read commended Squenix for the new translation. And the reviews aside, I’d bet you’re in the minority of people who share a negative view of the new translation.

Also, Pichi had your back huh? What is this a debate? *sigh*

Pichi: Also a high five. For having my back.

Alexander: *shakes head*

I’m sick of everything that takes place in a fantasy setting having a British accent, though. It started with Lord of the Rings, and then it was Harry Potter, and now it’s EVERYTHING. The only reason to have characters talk like British people is if the characters literally are British people. In any other case, it’s just the writers trying to sound pretentious.

My only real issue with the game is with the lag that occurs when doing special techniques. Also, maybe it’s unnoticeable(it’s almost to me) to others, but the audio quality doesn’t sound perfect. I’ve played original game on my psp via the ps1 emulator, and I think it sounded slightly better. The game still sounds great though.

I just can’t stand people who refuse to listen to reason and accept that nobody outside Japan will use names like that in anything other than anime or manga.

I’m a real translator, mind you. English to Spanish. I spent five years learning the craft, so I get annoyed when people who don’t have much knowledge of the subject start complaining like that.
