/vr/ - Retro Games

But anon they made a bajillion more sequels

Butz is a European name in real life, it's not their fault for not knowing it sounded like a slang term in the english language for buttocks. Besides, it was localised to Bartz so that wasn't an issue.

when something smells, it's usually the butz.

You forgot his first name, Seymour.

>>10854291
Imagine all the things you could have been doing instead of making this thread

uhh, his name was Bartz, like from the Simpsons but cooler with a z

Originally his name was going to be Dickz but it didn't do well with the focus groups.

>>10854421
This is basically how everybody conceptualized it as far as the know. Well, at least the people who grew up with it in the 90s. The Simpsons was a huge cultural cartoon that a lot of Americans watched.

No one really knows how to transliterate ツ, especially ッツ.

Is Terraria seriously considered "retro" now?

>>10854446
except there's no r and it's not even close to the spelling for bart in japanese, that's just something retarded fan translators did because they didn't want to be accused of intentionally calling the mc buttz to fuck with people

>>10854465
>intentionally calling the mc buttz to fuck with people
Ok, but does he fuck like a chocobo?

>>10854458
i laughed then remembered the ancient prototype of Terraria that was thrown around on /v/ a million years ago actually using FF5 sprites for waaaay too long

His name is Bazz

>>10854465
they officially retconned it to Bartz in Dissidia and their shitty gacha games

>>10854465
>fan translators
But those stuck with Butz.

>>10854446
>This is basically how everybody conceptualized it as far as the know.
Lmao, no. Everyone in the world who knew this game existed called him Butts.

>>10854449
>バッツ
Wait a minute... That sounds kinda similar to 罰 (batsu)

>>10854421
They should have named him Bort. Missed opportunity.

>>10854296
Yeah, but the Katakana is pretty much pronounced like "butts". The European "Butz" sounds more like "boots" (but with a short vowel).

in anglo english bartz is pronounced with the exact same phonemes as an american saying butts

hes called buttz because he smells bad and poops on the floor

>>10854850
>poops on the floor
That was the best scene in FF5

>>10854421
Not if you played the original sfc rom with the RPGe translation on zsnes.

>>10854850
>hes called buttz because he smells bad

>>10854938
>one of the oldest fan translations
It was so cool and based to experience this back then

>>10854291
I don't get what this thread is even going for. What does "tank the entire project" even mean in this context? The game is the 8th best selling Super Famicom game.

>>10854421
Bartz fartz.

>>10855168
Game was a laughing stock for years because the main character's name was basically just Butts, little zoomzoom. Absolutely demolished the reputation of the series.
>b-but they changed his name to Bartz!
Lol. Everybody already knew his original name was basically just Butts, and if you were actually alive back then you would've already known this instead of just regurgitating nonsense. Next time don't speak of things you don't actually understand, kiddo.

>>10855168
Trolls have just gotten worse and worse over time.

>>10855168
anon, he's not called Buttz in the japanese version because they don't speak english

>>10855203
>Absolutely demolished the reputation of the series.

Yeah, absolutely demolished it. Everyone knows the franchise was pretty much dead after FF5. Square never recovered from this earth-shattering PR disaster.

FF5 is a great game. I'm not sure which mental illness(es) are inspiring the posts in this thread.

It was a Japanese game, no one in Japan really gave a shit about that
>>10855203
>Game was a laughing stock
But was it that way in Japan?

>>10854291
from that sprite, buttz looks like a guy who thinks poop smells good

>>10854638
A lot of the time you have to "ignore" the last u sound in katakana stuff and you get what was more intended, but sometimes not
It's a mess

>>10854291
He's the first canonically gay FF protagonist and his name is subtle foreshadowing to that fact

>>10856705
>akshually his name is just butt

>>10855607
it's just a young fellow discovering the concept of trolling and trying his hand at it

>>10854465
>except there's no r
Meanwhile in Japan, Bart's name is written バート シンプソン

baruto

>>10856819
the strongest sumo fighter I've ever seen has this name which is based

Nice fanfic but that decision led him to being co director on the next title, remaking it again on VII and ascending to godhood upon Sakaguchi's departure.
An executive officer on the board, brand manager and the head of CBU I

All because he was involved in scripting the best FF game.

Buttz is a real name. I think it's German.

>>10854378
kek

they should've given him a cool name to match cloud and squall, like hurricane

>>10857147
Buttz Tsunami

last name Hurttz

>>10855203

>>10854291
