She was never real. Nothing you did ever mattered, and all it did was wake you up. Some fucking achievement.

Why did you make such a cryptic spoiler post? If you hide everything without even telling the game title, most people would want to view the spoilers regardless.

You forgot, didn't you?

On the beach. She confides in you that she's looked at the Seagulls, who are able to fly away to far off lands, and sing their songs to other people, and that is her dream, to be able to do that some day. If you do the game deathless, she gets her wish granted. You heartless son of a bitch.

[Anonymous No.948716]

LA's ending is perfect, and beautifully fitting into the mood the game puts you in in its later parts. Nothing about it that should piss you off - not like 'It was all a dream' was somehow news to you.

Secret of Mana, with the sprite vanishing out of nowhere, now that sucked. I loved her :<

>her

German translation has her as a she. And I'll always maintain this, regardless of what the japanese version says.

[Anonymous No.949052]

She was really a seagull.

[Anonymous No.949394]

>>949052
Are you saying that Link had sex with a seagull?

[Anonymous No.949430]

A theory I somewhat recently heard was that Marin did exist in the real world, but not as a human - she actually was a seagull that got caught in the dream and manifested itself as a human girl.

Germany gets lots of genders wrong, including cartoon characters (Digimon is a good example).

But if it makes you happy, I won't argue with you.

[Anonymous No.949741]

What do you mean nothing you did mattered? It's made quite clear throughout the game that the beings in the dream are real, even if they disappear when the dream ends. It's just the way dreams are. You saved the Wind Fish. You saved yourself. You helped the inhabitants of Koholint Island, even if their lives ended up being short. In the good ending, Dream Marin got her wish of being able to be a seagull and explore the world and so didn't even disappear when the dream ended.
It sounds like you're just angry about some stupid waifu bullshit, OP.

Also it's made clear that the nightmares specifically invaded the Windfish's dream to rule it. The monsters suddenly increasing in numbers and cutting off the route to Animal Village make it clear that they're accelerating their plan. Had Link not woken the Windfish, the inhabitants of Cocolint would've been tormented forever.

Not quite an ending, but when you finally save this bitch was the most infuriating moment I've ever had in a JRPG.

Never has an RPG made me think the thoughts of "We're going to hell, and I'm taking you all with me" as a perfectly rational mindset for when everyone expects you to save them.

[Anonymous No.951259]

the ultimate bullshit ending imo, would be the completion of a 100% run of dragon warrior III for GBC. you have to grind like 250~ bronze, silver and gold medals and present them to Grandragon. the reward is nothing.

Syndicate (the first one). After completing the last mission there's no special animation about how you have conquered the world, but just the credits followed by "keep on thinking."

Oh, and you can't cancel the credit sequence.

How does this happen?

Does the german translaters not give a fuck or do they feel like they are improving the games?

[Anonymous No.951472]

>>951435
Short answer is they just do what they want. Pretty much someone fell for the sprite as >>948716
did and didn't want to feel gay about it so it got changed.

[Anonymous No.951507]

Link probably died cold and alone in the ocean after the game.

[Anonymous No.951970]

Back when SoM was translated, the translation team consisted of precisely one person. Who didn't speak Japanese.

He was told to 'Make it funny', given the script to the English translation (Which was terrible), and was otherwise left to his own devices.

Such issues would continue until the late nineties. Even games as late as Terranigma experienced translation-creep where the German- and English names for NPCs were mingled, leaving the palyers confused as fuck. It wasn't until the early 2000s that Nintendo professionalised their translation business in Europe.

It's from an obscure indie game, so I don't know if anyone else has heard of it, but it's called "Falling Stars", it's a Blades of Exile scenario. Going to spoiler text; because I recommend this scenario to everyone, and it really will ruin the ending.




>Your country, Xancrest, is at war.
>You're losing.
>Bad.
>It's one of the cooler mechanics, actually. You have to move FAST, or the enemies will burn down towns, kill quest givers, make your life miserable. You don't have the leisure to sit around and rest after each encounter, and it feeds into this desperate frenzy that the game tries to set up.
>Eventually, it looks like they're on the brink of victory.
>Your bosses come up with this ridiculous, desperate, longshot plan.
>Your first reaction when you hear it is "There's no possible way this can work." It involves a lot of things that all have to go right, exactly, or the whole thing falls apart.
>Your task is to assassinate this lich, that commands the undead that guard the command post you need to sack.
>It's very clearly a mission that they hope you'll succeed at, but don't really expect you to.
>Get in there, kill the lich.
> Get a visitation by a UNL diplomat, where he gloats about the war being over in a couple of days.
>Go to the command post.
>Your troops are rampaging through it.
>OH SHIT SUPERDEMON SUMMONED.
>Wipes out your entire task force in like two rounds.
>You can't even hurt it, you have to run.
>Would think it's an ass pull, but it's actually beautifully foreshadowed, the sort that it's incredibly obvious on a re-play, but I was never going to figure it out the first time.
>But yeah, they were one step ahead of you the entire fucking time.


I stood up and shouted at my computer for half an hour when it happened the first time. It was amazingly powerful, and brilliantly done. I'd still punch the game designer for putting me through that though.

[Anonymous No.953008]

I don't want to write the spoilers tags, so skip this if you want.
Marin was not real, she didn't get any wish granted and the seagull at the end was just passing by since link was drifted to a coast nearby. The wind fish was not real either, Link just passed out and he dreamt the adventure because why not, the fish was just passing by and maybe link heard it, opened his eyes while sleeping and what not. Link was never rescued and died at the ocean, or maybe he did was rescued, either way, the timeline splits again.

You are fucking stupid. He was the German Woolsey and put a lot of "flavor" into his translations but saying he doesn't speak Japanese is fucking wrong.
