By the way, do you have some place where you collect good translations, either fan or not?Oyster Sauce wrote: ↑ April 23rd, 2024, 19:06Sword World, a Japanese TTRPG, has received a fan translation

I don't. It's one of those things where if the translator does an amazing job nobody will care/notice. ROMhack sites that host fan translations normally have a section for reviews, but I find they're not very active.Faceless_Sentinel wrote: ↑ April 23rd, 2024, 20:50By the way, do you have some place where you collect good translations, either fan or not?Oyster Sauce wrote: ↑ April 23rd, 2024, 19:06Sword World, a Japanese TTRPG, has received a fan translation
That said, you can often just ask yourself if the 57 year old Japanese man writing the game used the word "farthead" and filter out the worst localizations.
It used to be that fan translations were pretty faithful to the source material, since only someone truly passionate about the game would devote so much of their free time to translate it.
More recently the usual suspects have begun shitting out butchered translations laced with their politics.

Wow, I didn't know they fucked Animal Crossing: New Horizons that hard (except for the Girl and Boy thing).
Also I'm sorry but adding
"I love going on message boards and complaining about games I've never played!"
to the English version of Paper Mario is pretty funny lol

From what I've read, all of the dialogue for Eiyuden Chronicle is easy to export, edit, and import back. Someone has already started an AI translation project, and I've seen others who actually speak Japanese interested in doing a proper translation. Seems likely the script will be fixed relatively soonish if you don't mind waiting.aweigh wrote: ↑ April 22nd, 2024, 22:43this one is breaking my heart. i've been waiting years for this game.

It's even more explicit in his in-game description:Mariopedia wrote:ビビアンは「カゲ三姉妹」と名乗ったがマジョリンは「あんた オトコじゃないかい!!!!!!」と激昂、ここで初めてビビアンの性別が明らかになる。
Vivian calls their group the 'Three Shadow Sisters', but Majorin <EN: Marilyn> responds in a fury, "Aren't you a man!!!!!!"; here Vivian's sex becomes clear for the first time.
Was one of the Shadow Trio

If their major win is saying that a man who cross-dresses and is made fun of for trying to act like a woman when everyone else knows on sight he is a man is a tranny then congrats I guess lol.WhiteShark wrote: ↑ April 30th, 2024, 04:21Unfortunately, he's more or less correct.Oyster Sauce wrote: ↑ April 30th, 2024, 03:39I know nothing about this character but I'm assuming he's wrongIt's even more explicit in his in-game description:Mariopedia wrote:ビビアンは「カゲ三姉妹」と名乗ったがマジョリンは「あんた オトコじゃないかい!!!!!!」と激昂、ここで初めてビビアンの性別が明らかになる。

It's not obvious in-universe. The character who got mad at him in the quote above is his sister. Goombella mistakes him for a girl when she first meets him:A Chinese opium den wrote: ↑ April 30th, 2024, 05:01If their major win is saying that a man who cross-dresses and is made fun of for trying to act like a woman when everyone else knows on sight he is a man is a tranny then congrats I guess lol.
A little sister who is bullied by a cruel older sister... that's the feeling I get.

Americans were puritans so at some point as a society we wouldn't have accepted that. The weirdest societal thing we had was bugs bunny cross dressing for comedy.
This is the same thing. They weren't doing it for tranny representation.Nooneatall wrote: ↑ April 30th, 2024, 12:17Japan is weird as shit. Remember that remna 1/2 comic or whatever.

Bugs bunny was boomer humor. Japs just really love jerking off to crossdressing children.GhostCow wrote: ↑ April 30th, 2024, 17:28This is the same thing.

I keep repeating myself like a broken record - if bullying was still socially acceptable, this thing would have roped itself before it got out of high school.Oyster Sauce wrote: ↑ April 30th, 2024, 19:13Forgot to mention the Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door localizer, Niko Ferryn Lennox, is a gay polyamorous diaperfur cub agender
I bet this freak doesn't even know a word of Japanese.

Thanks God I never spent a penny on Nintendo games. Now we know who prepare children to be groomed into woke subhuman.
