Nope, swing and a miss. And Woolsey's not bad, just outdated and inaccurate. It's cool if you prefer him, but some people are more interested in accuracy, and it's not "autistic" to do so just because it's not personally relevant to you.

And that way is TIME TRAVEL. You go back to before the game was made and find a way to influence the world so that somehow Chrono Trigger will be originally written in English, and then internally localized to Japanese for the Japanese audience before its initial release. It's the ONLY way. Fortunately, we have eternity in which to figure out how to do it.

Ironically, for all of the Woolsey-ism of the era, Woolsey was probably one of the better translators around for that gen. Definitively a product of the era, but nowhere near the worst it could have been either
>>8008123
Chrono Compendium was working for a retranslation for ages, so probably that one?

[Anonymous No.8010150]

Imagine caring about the Translation when the original was pretty damn good for what they had. As far as romhacks go, play Chrono Trigger+.

The DS port was fine.
The SNES port was (mostly) fine as well.
Just play the goddamn game, it's enjoyable even with the mild bowdlerization (and the one or two nonsensical/badly translated lines) of the original.

I played this for the first time with the Chrono Compendium translation. It was the biggest mistake I ever made, what an absolute pile of trash, barely coherent. I don't trust any other "FAITHFUL TEXT" bullshit after that experience, just play the original localization.

Unchallenged and factually incorrect statement. "Manzana" is a perfect translation of "apple" into Spanish, for example.

In the original game they all spoke japanese, so playing the game in english ruins the characterization of everyone.

Indeed, I don't think I've ever seen anyone here argue that you should play a translation if you're able to read the original.

Nah, everyone agrees that Working Designs was shit. But for some reason Woolsey is a saint who you're not allowed to criticise despite them both having the same translation philosophy.

It's not moving the goalposts you dumbass nigger jew. You're being disingenuous pretending the text would ever in any piece of media be as straight forward to translate as merely "apple". Try and translate ore-sama into English and capture the exact level of smugness. Now try and do that with hundreds of other similar devices. But your go to example was apple. What a joke.

[Anonymous No.8014049]

Well yeah, given that you need to download the original first to apply the retranslation to, that would be rather strange.
