Five day countdown - Page 2

Zeromus_X · 02-07-2007, 01:00 AM

$34.99 seems like an average retail price.

Just got to Figaro Castle right now. Quite a bit of Woolsey's script is still kept intact, possibly so people don't complain about a new translation any more then they already have. Some things are changed, for example, "Son of a submariner!" is now "Son of a sandworm!". Names like Terra, Sabin, Locke, etc etc. are still in the game. Relic, Blitz, and so on. Spell and item names are now properly dubbed (Three Stars instead of Economizer, Main Gauche instead of Guardian, Thunder instead of Bolt, etc.). All in all, a very pleasing translation.

Or, one of my favorites...

"Our king showers his attention on women. Young, old, pretty, or plain...No one is safe!"

X to the D.

Now with less violence towards women and more tentacle rape.

I trust Kefka's loud, annoying laugh is still there? XD

They mucked it up pretty bad in the Playstation version, it sounded way to muffled compared to the SNES version. =P

The PS ports weren't all that spectacular.

The GBA one, on the other hand, looks great. And my DS can play it too. =D

Yggdrasill · 02-07-2007, 06:38 PM

I've read FFVI's GBA port is pretty horrible, is that claim true?
If it's on the same level as the FFIV GBA port I'm not all that bothered, FFIV's port was good.

Hydra · 02-07-2007, 06:57 PM

You can't really believe what you read until you try it. So, we'll see soon enough either way. =D

Yggdrasill · 02-07-2007, 07:06 PM

I'm Importing it on Friday anyway, so I should receive it sometime next week. =D
I can't wait to play FFVI again, it'll bring back some memories.

What about "Welcome to my Barbecue"?

Yggdrasill · 02-07-2007, 07:26 PM

My favourite line: "Ugh, you all sound like pages from a self-help booklet!" had better not have been changed. >_>
That's the only thing I hate about ports/remakes; a lot of text is changed.

Spec Highwind · 02-07-2007, 07:32 PM

I hope they haven't changed any of those lines in the end of the game...

Haha, yes, that was a bit amusing.

Yes, that's still in there. Most of the lines from the Woolsey translation are there. If it weren't for properly dubbed item and spell names and grammar fixes, you probably wouldn't even be able to tell apart the script from the original.

Of course it is!

And it sounds just as good as the SNES version.

In the original English script, Kefka called Edgar a son of a submariner as the latter word that starts with a 'b' (I'll leave it up to you to figure out which one it is) wouldn't fly, and Figaro Castle can submerge. Edgar is the king of Figaro Castle. Therefore, he would be a submariner.

Sandworm refers to sandworms in a desert, naturally. Also remember that sandworms busted into Figaro Castle while it was submerged later in the game to let the thieves and their leader 'Gerad' escape.

Anyway, don't let any of the changes stop you from playing the game. It'd be silly to ignore it just because of a relocalization, changed (proper) names are to be expected. The translators were generous enough to even preserve many of the lines from Woolsey's script and his names anyway.
