I gave that piece of crap a try months ago and had to immediately stop at Punchinello before I projectile-vomitted all over my screen. I had no idea it was even possible to screw up that badly. I was ignoring some warning signs, like that Mickey Mouse Psychopath, Belome and the constant "King Smithy" annoyance. Either call him the "Smith King" or "Smithy", "King Smithy" is a weird halfway that doesn't sound right coming from his enemies. It sounds like they respect him. At least make the silliness consistent and have Bowser be "King Bowser" all the time while you're at it. And word is, he knew about another hack, pinkie-promised that he was moving on and wouldn't threaten it, then duplicitously proceeded to rapid-MTL the game behind their back to get his jollies at being "first!" He's just another member of RHDN's amateur Woolsey clique looking for a quick way to fame. I wouldn't be shocked if he never played Mario RPG before. Is there even a piece of Mario media whatsoever where Peach is called "Her Majesty" by her mushroom subjects instead of, y'know, Princess Peach? This is why game editors are becoming rarer.
Thank God there's no more Woolsey games to butcher after this.

Tomato's okay, but his fanbase has to be cursed with some of the most autistic failures known to man, and he's too nice to them.

>That fucking English-only clown who used machine translations co-opted and tarnished the reputation of this idea,
Oh, you have NO idea just how disturbingly close that is to the truth, but I unfortunately don't have permission to share specifics for the time being (that can change later depending on circumstances). The author of the real retranslation project has at least two trusted confidants who know all about it and who the author is, and yours truly happens to be a channer (to be clear, this lying doofus is NOT the other confidant - we wouldn't associate with someone so obnoxious of our own volition).
>so if someone doesn't correct that, it's ogre.
The author isn't concerned about that in the long run, because with any luck, the thief is set to get steamrolled by the remake. Instead, the author is more worried about the freak timing of the remake's announcement, has reasons to refuse to release it before it's out, and is torn between releasing it as-is on launch day or rebooting it again to convert it into a full or partial script port. But yes, it is upsetting that those who don't know what a retranslation looks like are getting short-term duped by an attention-seeking pissant. That's why the unauthorized poll I made is so important - I want to show the author that there is an audience who still wants the retranslation of the original game, and we have no guarantee that the official localization won't mess it up again.
Side note, I DO have two of the old fully-playable builds - one from 2018, back when it was tentatively titled "Relocalization" (don't worry, the author was always aware that localization without translation is meaningless, which is partly why it was rebooted the first time with a more serious focus), and one from 2021. A 2023 build is in testing (unfortunately not by me, I got too busy) and will be the build representing the third and presumed-final phase. Maybe I can convince my friend to tide you over with the old work...
