/vr/ - Retro Games

just because they could doesn't mean they will

I'm tired of reliving the same old experiences from my childhood over and over again. I want new retro games!

>Celestina
>Celesterra
One of these makes sense. The other is a bad "translation" from the 90s.

>>5368509
>Tina vs Celes
>Terra vs Celes
One of these makes sense. The other is lack of creativity.

>>5368514
Yes, but it's probably not the one you're thinking of.

>translator completely misunderstands why a character is named what she is
>changes the name
>fucks up the actual intended meaning
If anything, this is why translators should just translate and not try to second-guess intent and attempt to "improve" on things.

>>5368521
>Translators should just translate!

>>5368535
>character opens treasure box, takes the content, then leaves
>translator still changes "treasure" to treasure chest"
Actually a pretty good example of why translators should just translate, yes. This was probably a mistake, not an intentional change, but it's still a change for the worse that the more accurate translation improved on.

>>5368546
Yes, anon, translators should just translate instead of eliminating text for no sensible reason.

>>5368550
I always think why no one make an entire translation of the game from scratch aside the GBA translation if this translation was awful in first place

>>5368553
That's literally why the GBA translator pushed Square Enix to let him retranslate the game instead of just copypasting the SNES translation over. He was a fan of the game and thought it deserved better.

>translator completely misunderstands why a character is named what she is
>changes the name
>fucks up the actual intended meaning
Elaborate, if you can.

>>5368553
Because:
1) The GBA translation is good, so the game doesn't need another retranslation
2) It's a big game, so that's a lot of work for something that doesn't really need it
3) Autistic fanboys of the old translation are known for organized trolling of anyone that wants to provide an alternative to it

>>5368569
Tina is named Tina because the two main protagonists' names can be combined to form "Celestina". Woolsey misunderstood and thought it was just some random ass western name that "probably sounded exotic to nips", so he changed it to something he pulled out of his ass, and thus fucked over the actual meaning of it.

>>5368474
I want to help Terra raise those orphans.

>>5368578
>Tina is named Tina because the two main protagonists' names can be combined to form "Celestina".
I'm not finding any source that justifies that.

>>5368572
>Autistic fanboys of the old translation are known for organized trolling of anyone that wants to provide an alternative to it
No, they just troll those who like the GBA translation out of hatred for Tom Slattery.

I don't care which translation im playing, i just want to put my dick in both of them.

>>5368628
>forgot pic...

>>5368563
But i am talking of someone who want to retranslate the SNES version from scratch, not the GBA version

>>5368509
>>Celestina
>>Celesterra
Mind explaining what the fuck you're talking about?

>>5368647
This >>5368578

>>5368578
>Tina is named Tina because the two main protagonists' names can be combined to form "Celestina"
...what the fuck are you talking about?

>>5368687
What the fuck shitty ad hoc headcanon fanfiction am I reading here? Provide a source or fuck off with that nonsense.

>>5368546

>Crowded Shoes
What broke-ass fan translation is this?

>>5368647
Celestina is an eighteenth-century English novel and poet Charlotte Turner Smith’s third novel. Published in 1791 by Thomas Cadell, the novel tells the story of an adopted orphan who discovers the secret of her parentage

Neat.

>2019
Seething weebs still hate WD localizations

>making shit up: the post

>>5368490
faux 16 bit graphics in modern times are the reddit.com of the gaming industry

>>5368602
Ridiculous. They also have a hate boner for most other retranslations from scratch that aren't at least in part based on Woosley, like Sky Render and the other text only script.

>>5368890
That's actually a kinda neat reference.

>>5368869
It's literally Google Translate. Hence the "Google" label in the corner.

>>5368984
They hate all of Slattery's translations, including for FFIV and Chrono Trigger. FFV gets a pass only because the original translation was total ass, but that's it.

>>5368947
Careful you don't cut yourself with all that edge you fucking zoomer.

Only an idiot would discount games because of their graphics, modern or not.

>>5368578
Even if that's true, that's fucking stupid lmao

Terra >>>>>>>>> Tina

>>5368898
imagine if they had learned japanese in that time

>>5368997
>when the nips have a better understanding of English literature than your translator
