By '05 there were enough "serious" translations on PS2 that WD didn't really matter anymore but hating on'90s working designs is a dead giveaway that you weren't playing those type of games back then. If you were, you'd appreciate that they made those games available to us at all.

The original doesn't have pop culture references like that. It's not like it ruins the game, but it's fucking stupid and there's tons of shit like that like Austin Powers jokes.

I was happy we got the game at all, but that was so dumb. But translation shit isn't as bad as him fucking with gameplay.

At least the new Star Dragon song was good.

>>3978608

"Cost?" Wait, I have to pay magic experience to save?

Oh yes, I had forgotten to mention one of Lunar 2's more infamous features. So, in Lunar 1, you could just save anywhere, doesn't matter. Quite unusual for a game of its time. Hell, in all the other Lunar games you can save anywhere. So why did this game decide to make you pay?

Well, the Japanese version didn't. This was added in the English version. I have the guidebook for this game, and in it Victor Ireland tries to weakly defend adding this in, saving that most other RPGs only let you save at inns, or on the world map. I presume that later he jumped off a climb because the other RPGs were doing it too.

Magic experience is already kind of tight in the game, and this doesn't help. It's particularly bad early on. By the way, the cost for saving does go up throughout the game. At the end, yes, you do generally get enough magic experience per fight that it's not a big problem, but still.

>>3978608
He made it so that saving your game costs magic experience. So it's possible to level up magic on one of your characters and then realize it's impossible to save without going out to grind.

It was supposed to add difficulty, but really just made it tedious. Doesn't affect you a ton after the first few hours but it's fucking stupid.

>t, fucking millenials

I was 20 when Lunar 2 came out and bought it with my own money. Then as now I'm entitled to express my displeasure over a shitty translation job. It's not the worst thing they did, but it's still lame and I am happy they closed down.

>>3978647
Also this.

Weapon draining is nowhere near as big of a deal if you buy level 6 Surosa in the first area, also they made it so you RECOVER spirit when shooting enemies of the same attribute so refilling your energy is quick and easy which doesn't happen in the Japanese version.

I'd stay smug as fuck but isn't Vic still getting work? Last I heard he was working on some PSP game late into the system's life.

I'd stay smug as fuck but current publishers that localize niece games anymore seem to hold them in high regard sadly and cite them as a big influence sadly.
