[Anonymous No.8332068]

The best romhack has now been finally translated into English by none other than Mato, no more injections required to play in English.

Not really just mix it up but also include references from other FFs and other fluff.
I'd not recommend it as your first playthrough.

I think there's a lot confusion from having a phantom called Phantom than using the word esper that means something completely different. And it would keep it in line with the other FF games since the 幻獣 are a staple of the series.
I see esper used far more in Japanese works as an equivalent to 超能力者.

To be fair, while what he did was generous, he only had time to compare the first fan-translation most motable for being a romhack. Adding the numerous other fan-translations that weren't romhacks was beyond the scope of his tools. He probably knew of the early version of Ted Woolsey Uncensored Edition too and didn't want to make fun of someone else, given the Skyrender guy moved on but Shortrod is still very much active and with sycophants. Now there's been like twenty more re-edits and tons more in progress in the wake of LoL, who has time to sort through them all and determine which is the best one, and ask all of their permission to use bits and pieces to Frankenstein it into the "best" version? Not Mato. He probably just saw fit to stick to what he knew from his analysis the first time, and what he knew was that the GBA one was already the best overall. Be grateful he's releasing the tools so you can do it yourself, unlike that ChaosRush guy who's still holding FFII&FFIII hostage.

>>8336183

Changing the intent of the work is potentially fine if the work is a poorly written story to begin with, and that's nearly always going to be the case with an old video game. If it's something that's better than what you could possibly write then changing it isn't fine because you'd just make it worse.

Erasing binary gender stuff from a game could be harmless in some circumstances and really stupid and clumsy and annoying in others. It just depends on how it's done.

Yes. Might be good to look at that page on wayback since he changed it last year. But yeah, openly admits that Link/the latest character is explicitly defined as male in the Japanese, but of course we can't offend our readers who might want zhe to be a girl instead.
Anyway, on topic: if the translation is actually honest to the original text, then great, if it isn't and ether introduces creative/"localisation" liberties or includes things like Espers from the original, then there's not much point in my view

[Anonymous No.8337251]

>>8337171
>Might be good to look at that page on wayback
I don't think he said anything on making things gender-neutral over the original text at any point. My impression is that he usually shuts his mouth about trans-culture much because he legit doesn't understand it but has better things on his mind like most functional married adults.
>includes things like Espers from the original
Oh c'mon, that one was brilliant. "Phantom Beast" is too many characters, for one thing. There would have been too many sacrifices in the overall script if the term was kept around at the time, and Woolsey wanted to avoid what happened with Secret of Mana. Second, the Japanese word is a made-up kanji compound. Phantom Beast is one literal reading, but that's from the understanding of each single character and is supposed to be a new word. Third, Esper just fits in English because it turns out that they were originally human at some point prior to the War of the Magi (esper being a very apt word). The script has flaws for sure, but this ain't one of them.

[Anonymous No.8337297]

>>8337251
They have nothing to do with ESP. A better term would have been to coin a portmanteau of phantom and beast (or their synonyms)

Many of them are beasts and I don't see how they aren't phantomic.

[Anonymous No.8337791]

>>8337074
Erasing "binary gender stuff" is introducing poor writing in games.

See Link's diaries in Breath of the Wild that were changed to be gender neutral and in second person so that "undefined entity Link" self-insert fanfiction trannies don't feel left out, even though the translation is worse off for it and that particular choice had to be overruled in other aspects of the same game just to keep a functional plot.
Or Xenoblade X, which listened to the localization team while developing the game to pander to the West but ended up removing 30% of the game's story content because it didn't gel well with the "gender neutral writing" required by the character generator. Xenoblade 2 went in the opposite direction and even the numbering pretends the latter didn't exist.
Not even the tranny non binary protagonist in SMT V could have been safe from "binary gender stuff" because he's consistently referred to as male in the localization.

That said Mato never said anything one way or another, only some kumbaya non-confrontational shit about "localizers often make localization choices, i'm not criticizing anyone", etc, even to obviously machine translated horseshit. He's really averse to politics and has defended "problematic" localizations before. Not that I'd fault him, Mother 3 alone is a landmine of thought crimes by current day tranny standards (who keep requesting an official version mostly to replace it with a more "sanitized" version)
