My process is for retranslating is to first check the original PSX FFT translation, then compare the same scenes in WotL strictly to check for any added information, then compare finally to the original Japanese (which is much, much closer to the original translation than the retranslation, i.e. Ramza literally actually screams ”ゲロニモ!”. Literally the name of an American Indian chief as a battle cry.)

After that I consolidate the information presented in all 3 versions, then rewrite new lines in the curt and punchy style of the PSX version.

If you allow 2500 PS2 games at once then people will begin to discuss them all at once. This board only has room for 150 threads and most of the current topics would be flushed out once the floodgates are opened.
It might die down after a few weeks but by then the damage has been done.
Basically it would be akin to opening a new board on top of an old one.

>/vr/ moves like a snail anyways

One of the nice things about /vr/, a lot people don't want it to be a fast board.

>and no, /vr/ won't collapse. Why do you think that. That's just fear.

Most things point to the fact that it will collapse, I have been posting on this Chinese cartoon website since 2007 and I have seen boards come and go completely fall apart and turn into containment boards. I don't particularly care for what happens with /vr/ but it's a damn shame you want it to go down that route.

Look you might have good intentions "Oh it would be so cool to be able to talk about this overlooked great PS2 etc game" except that won't happen it will just be a continuation of the worst aspects of /vr/ >>3697838 >>3697814 thousand folded with humongous amounts of posters from /v/ which will swamp the board.

/vr/ - Retro Games
This board is for the discussion of classic, or "retro" games. Retro gaming means consoles, computer games, arcade games (including pinball) and any other games on platforms launched in 1999 or earlier. Sixth generation and later consoles are not considered retro.

>1999 or earlier

No, they are actually FOR Dreamcast, jizz stain

[Anonymous No.3698151]

>>3698145
Dreamcast is a sixth generation console and therefore not allowed.
The whole passage would be unnecessary otherwise since no other 6th generation console was released before 2000.

Just keep bringing it up, senpai.

There no reason why 3/4 consoles of a now retro gen is prohibited for discussion on a retro gaming board.

There are only two arguments against this, MUH archaic 1999 rule, and a delusion that this board doesn't already have trolls trolling. Both reasons are completely ridiculous.

.... That's from the fucking fan translation dude. Also that fan translation is like playing the game if Woolsey translated it but with more mature dialogue. It's amazing and far better than any autistic literal translation, let alone the shitty GBA version. That fan translation what made me love ToP so much

Also, seriously how the hell did you mistake that for an official Namco translation? Did you seriously expect Namco to put an f-bomb in a SNES game?

I'm glad SoD is optional. It's not even that scene though I wish it was way better constructed, fuck whoever thought just cramming a Tumblr post in a script made a good trans character. The worst crime of that was wasted potential.

It's just phoned in on the writing in general, especially the ending. The only saving grace it has is some of the fights are pretty good and you don't necessarily need to listen to the plot or anything, due to being closer to IWD than a BG game.

FF Dimensions and V are actually pretty great. Yeah V's graphics aren't great and look like sin on the PC because a smaller screen kind of disguises the seams, but at least they fit the more lighthearted tone of it. Could've certainly been worse, but also way better.

VI was just a travesty all around outside of Cyan really. I had trouble even using the controls without a gamepad, they probably should've just used the same UI. And then there came the DRM.

Of course you could, and that's within the rules and totally fine. I encourage it even, there's not a lot of retro sports game discussion.

Also, Marathon is nothing like Halo, you clearly know little about either. Regardless, Halo is definitely not retro.

Well, it wasn't a remake, but to the day I die I will consider the change in graphics of Quest for Glory 5 to be a crime. They fell into that era where, "OMG, 3D graphics are a thing now. 3D is so many more Ds than 2D, so it must be better. Let's use it!"

namco hated Tales in the west forever

of course, it didn't help that ToD and ToP on PS1 both look like SNES games (top-fucking-end SNES games, doing shit that you can't really do on an SNES, but that's not a distinction that polygon joe's gonna make, it's part of the reason why ToD2 and ToR didn't come out in the west on the PS2 vs the all 3D Tales of Symphonia, and Tales of Eternia had the good fortune to be a PS1 game with 2D visuals that didn't look anything like a SNES game)
ToD got blasted back in the day for its visuals despite them being very nice Super-SNES looking visuals, and Namco likely expected the ToP remake to have the same issue.
