>1. they did
Not; name one (1) fricking example—no, name several (many), actually. Bet you can't, loser. And I'll pre-empt you on one of them, at least: "muh Squall doesn't rly say whatever hurrr durr" uh homie, that's one of the things the localization team nailed right out of the park. In the original, Squall truly was ellipsis man and was even more autismo. The localization bros knew what they were doing and made him even better.
>2. budget
...was bigger than any title before, save for 7's moronic superfluous marketing budget. But in terms of overall budget for the ACTUAL game? Yeah, no; FF8 was given top priority. And it shows: beautiful FMVs, beautiful graphics (at the time) and beautiful characters, both male and female, with minimal fanservice. It's a true love story that actually takes itself fairly seriously with just the right amount of silliness.
Also, it shits on trannies, lol. There's a literal gay in Dollet that Squall can make fun of. It's pretty sweet.
Also, best music in the series and actually has a couple that gets together, undeniably, unlike 9's bullshit or 7's pseudo-dating sim mechanics. And say what you want about Rinoa, you're probably just a virgin. IRL, she'd be quite a fricking catch, but I think she makes a perfect match with Squall.
go grind out more trophies on FF7R, zoom-zoom. Then fap to jessie webms because we both know that's what you do.

No localization is bad as long as you pretend that bad localization is good.
this is a caustic post. >rinoa
fricking rinoa is nothing more than a wiener-teasing rich girl, she's in it for attention and she doesn't care where that comes from. haha im just a cute terrorist girl haha please save me seif-i mean squall.
and her pussy is reserved for a dog.
as the rest, i mean just stfu? nobody cares what you think bro
Localization was the biggest headache in all of this. It would take up to a year (sometimes longer) to get a game once it's released in its native region. I think Xenosaga took two years to get localized and released, and Star Ocean 3 took 3 years.
She's the equivalent of a rich girl out on the streets playing ANTIFA because it's dirty and pisses off her family.
SO3 took a year and a half, some of which was due to them having to switch over to the new version of the game (Director's Cut) released in Japan due to how completely broken the original release was.
FF8 is my favorite in the series but every time I go through a thread on this fricking board, I like it less. A game I've ran through at least 10 times. Schizo anon and whatever the frick is. Jesus Christ. Localization was obviously as issue, along with the script in inception - there's so much cut content it seemed like separate regions were left to fill in gaps with whatever they intoned.
German and French translations lean into the R=U romantic angle. Squalls' 'Whatever...'s. IIRC Irvine and Quistis have more authority in their lines through the Jap version vs. US, shit like that. The game has its flaws and to pretend it doesn't feels like purposeful troll parody.
>IIRC Irvine and Quistis have more authority in their lines
Not at all, Irvine is a complete goof in Japanese. Even when he puts on a serious face, he'll find a way to make it turn lighthearted in the end.
I don't really remember how Quistis talks because Quistis is a completely insignificant non-character in any language.
FF8 and FF9 have translations that change crucial parts of the dialogue but read well so most people don't notice
FF7's translation doesn't have any rewrites but has typos and some confusing ESL phrasing like "Sephiroth Clones" but is closer to the original game than the latter two games
At least none of them got completely fricked over in translation like the 13 series did
Hmmm... they finally had budget and some form of relevance in the market? I guess they could afford a proper localization, and with FF7's success, they were the hot topic at the time. Also, absolutely love FFVIII, truly unique game.
9 had an even better localization. 9's characters were fully realized by the dialogue, the story was mostly comprehensible, and all the jokes were funny
>9 suxs they don't even save the planet from turning into Terra and there souls being destroyed by terrans. moronic and gay
Because Kuja does by killing everyone and everything on Terra.
I guess you could hire a slave to read to you and translate in real time, you're still just getting an interpretation though. Weird kink, I won't judge
That only flies if your goal is specifically to avoid political correctness (and even then it's not 100% with fan translations). If your goal is overall accuracy you're certainly not going to get a better experience on average with fan translations.

Oh then too bad, guess I'll just have to read these threads to find out how the games were supposed to be translated.
What I'm NOT going to do is waste hundreds of hours studying asiaticrunes kek. No wonder so many of you homies are broke lol.
I feel like I've seen a lot of posts to the contrary.
1. they did
2. budget

have you tried reading a book outside?
You should have deleted this image after autizmo-anon pointed out these were 2 different dialogue paths and not a difference in localization.
They aren't two different dialogue paths though. You were lied to.
Damn dude you're completely uninformed. Maybe go back to r*ddit if you want upvotes this bad.
>no argument
That's what I thought, loser.
Oh I don't have to make an argument. I can just call you a moron and move on. And I'd be right to do that, too, so I will. moron.
this is a caustic post.

Quistis makes me cum buckets, tho.
I'm a fan of 8 and I'm not localisation autist but even I know of the "whatever..." debacle.
So my conclusion is you're a moron.

Because Kuja does by killing everyone and everything on Terra.
This is probably the one they fricked up the most
VII literally has mistranslations
Are there any re-translation mods? I wanna play the games uncucked and pozzed by troony sjws
Then play it in Japanese. You can't spell translation without trans.
>just learn a whole new language!
Nope, not gonna waste my time getting my hands dirty. That's for slaves.
I guess you could hire a slave to read to you and translate in real time, you're still just getting an interpretation though. Weird kink, I won't judge
Plenty of games already have fan translations. I'd be happy to throw money towards a Patreon like that if they want to be compensated, is my point.
That only flies if your goal is specifically to avoid political correctness (and even then it's not 100% with fan translations). If your goal is overall accuracy you're certainly not going to get a better experience on average with fan translations.
