Need Help (Game Script)

[Xifanie]

I'm not really the best one to do this, so I'd rather leave the job to someone more... qualified.

I'd ask any of you to go through the game script, notify me of any mistake, along with the correction. If I'd do it, I'd probably end up fixing 50% of them while creating 15-20% more.

Any volunteers?

You can use the Game Script on GameFaqs if you want.

Does this mean we almost have text editing now?

[Xifanie]

Err, no I have to do it all by hand. But it's not a problem for me.

[Christopher Robin]

... what do you mean by hand?

[Xifanie]

Hands > Keyboard > Hex Editor

[Argg0]

He means he needs someone to find the errors and give them corrections.

[Chrona]

I like the errors though, they're homage to the game. If you want it to be all edited, play the PSP version =p

[Xifanie]

How about: "Shut up and don't patch your game" Instead?

Really... there isn't much of a point if you want to keep everything as it already is.

If you don't have any business here, stop that or I'll just ban you from this forum section.

[Chrona]

Just giving my suggestion on it, I'm voting on all the other things though >.>

Whatever, if you don't want me, I'll just leave

[Xifanie]

Any link?

If you can't control yourself the worst I'll do is to ban you from the forum sectio. However if you can, I don't see any problem. In any case, 'leaving' would just be an excuse because you would be angry at me.

If you think I overreacted, then just don't tell me to play the PSP version again.

[Chrona]

I was just saying that for the most part the game should be kept the way it is, since I didn't find that many errors in the first place. I really don't care though

[karsten]

i remember i had a list of the mistranslations of FFT...

one is ramza telling wiegraf "don't open that!" when it should be "don't listen to that" (kanji error) another problem lies in the awful lot of white knights, holy knights, divine knights and arc knights, but i don't remember the details

another error is Lune knight -> RUNE KNIGHT

many monsters i think have something wrong in their names

mmmh what else...

can't come out with anything else right now....

hope it helps, karsten

Well there aren't that many if you compare to the entire text in the game, but compared to the average game, it's a lot.

All vets know the errors made in FFT and I'm sure some (including me) would like to play through the game at least once with a clean script.

However, try to stop me from removing little money and I'll kill you. That one isn't charming at all, it's a torture.

You see, the original version of the game may look dull to me after that, but I'll still keep the CD: because it's the original. However I doubt I would ever play it again. [/quote]

Dang, we're gonna need a translator   or steal and rephrase from the PSP US version.

[Chrona]

Dunno how Stop Breath would make sense. Oh wait, in a literal sense it would, just realized XD

[Argg0]

It makes the enemy stop breathing, no breath = dead.

"Don't open that!" Is an error?

I always though it made sense... as in don't free it's power, a la Pandora's box.

[Asmo X]

How flexible do you want to be with the script? Do you just want to correct the errors or are you also out to actually improve the quality of the writing in general? I'll have to grab the script, but I seem to remember lots of exposition, redundancy and stilted dialogue. Is that stuff on the market as well?

[Xifanie]

Coincidence, I just finished watching Billy & Mandy's Pandora Box episode and thought exactly of that after reading "don't open that".

also they took away all the generics quote, substituting them with "..." (in the files if opened with an hex editor you can find a LOT of those ... in stead of speech i guess or steal and rephrase from the PSP US version.

i think I HAVE a printed file with all the generics quotes translated by i don't know who.... OH I FOUND IT! http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/psx/file/197339/16311

they made a FAQ out of it

i tought so too, but in japanese the kanji for open and listen are almost the same, and the one actually used in the jap version is LISTEN.
