Final Fantasy 6 retranslated

**DoctorRyanB1** · 10-10-2009, 11:30 PM

For anybody who wants to talk about the new translation for Final Fantasy 6. So far I've seen alot of differences in the names. Like Espers being called Shadow Beasts. I'm only at the part where Locke rescues Terra(Tina).

I wonder if it still has the bug where the evade% does nothing and Mblock% blocks/dodges both physical and magical attacks, or if they corrected that.

The evade bug is fixed.
Also fixed:
Cayenne second sword skill bug.
An equip bug that allows you to equip items in the wrong places.
The ripple skill bug.
Bug where if you use vanish then you can use death even on an enemy that should be immune to it.

Besides that it is the Japanese FFVI translated directly into English instead of going through NOA's censorship and becoming FFIIIUS.

Shouldn't we just use the GBA Translations?
Cayenne's english name is Cyan.

Horrible idea.

How so? I'm shure we could find the translations on the internet.

Ted Woosley did a fine job in my opinion. the game's major faults are more game mechanic issues.

1. There aren't many outstanding TL mistakes in the game. The biggest one is when Realm refers to Shadow as "she" instead of "he" in the World of Ruin.

2. The Japanese version would sometimes use English words to give certain pronouns a foreign feel. While the names Tina and Snow Man may have been exotic in late 90's Japan, they don't exactly have the same effect in their native language.

3. Some times the game would refer to obscure Japanese historical/mythological characters. As such, we wouldn't "get it". Would have fighting Suuno and Seeno really been as easily referenced as battling buffoons as Moe, Larry, and Curly?

4. Also, some of the translation had to be "squished" so that the English characters (8 ) would fit in the same space the Kanji would (12). Zone Seeker was turned into ZoneSeek and such.

If an RPG had Moe, Larry and Curly as a boss fight I'd faint due to sheer awesomeness.

FF3us kind of does.

It's been a while since I played that so I forget if that's real or not.

Speaking of weird characters to have in an rpg, did you guys hear about the wizard of oz rpg for the DS? I'm tempted to get it but I don't really like the wizard of oz and I hear the gameplay sucks. It might be cool to play once though.

**Kugyince** · 10-13-2009, 08:22 AM

It's real.
