If you picked the shield, then you are a pussy according to Kingdom Hearts 1.
>>722524598>3rd world gibberish
>>722524814It's more accurate than the slop you EOPs got.
>>722524598speak a real language, shields are for chads.
Shield is for pussiesStaff is for faggotsSword is for retards
>>722524598picking shield is the difference between getting parry at like level 4 versus 40. of course i'm picking shield
>>722525560Then pull up the original japanese text, anon. Let's see how accurate the spanish text really is.
>>722525974>minmaxing in a kid's gamelol shitter
>>722526308
>>722526428Huh.Well shit
>>722526354it's one more thing to do in combat. adds more fun
>>722526554Yep. As you can see, the English text thought the audience was too retarded to understand that each "power" comes with a downside - the Sword being an implement for bringing harm to others, the Shield being cowardly, the Staff stealing one's own soul. "Real" languages got proper translations while your Angloid pidgin got pared-down scraps.
>>722526554As opposed to outright cowardly it's probably closer to timid. That ball park.
>>722524598Show me the lie.
>>722526935Calm down there JoseDidn't know people could be racist against the english language
>>722526354Minmax option is actually wand. Shield is just easymode. To your point, though, shield can in fact be summarized as "picking the easiest option in a kid's game".
Did this even affect anything other than when you unlock skills, and minor stat buffs? It always seemed pointless to me.
>>722524598if you played KH at all, you're just a fag
>>722527236no. yes.
>>722526953cope
>>722527102It's a talking shitposters bring up when discussing translations differences(or errors). "It's not a mistranslation because the other language is inferior/not a real language". Normally it's used to defend the english though.
>>722527236In KH1 the only way to maximize MP is by picking the Staff. Besides that it doesn't matter.
>>722527334>突然の出来事によって,すっかり慌て驚くこと。
>>722524598Who tf unironically picked the shield? You get a permanent +1 to your MP if you pick the staff. You're arguing with no one, faggot.
>>722526935are you an idiotthe english text declares it openlya shield to repel ALL(you're only viewing this in the positive)as in despite your kindness and willingness to protect, you are ultimately still keeping your shield up around your heart and everyone at arm's length
>>722527236The order in which you unlock skills is a pretty important one, but picking the shield gave you extra item slots, while picking the wand gave you an extra MP bar. Shield is best for getting things like guard, leaf bracer, second chance, and once more significantly earlier, while the wand is the best as far as end-game stats. Picking the sword just fucked you over both ways.
>>722527236>does this affect anything other than your progression path for the entire playthrough
>>722524598Isn't Spanish full of idiom and sometimes makes sense without meaning to harm any political group?
>>722527546>Isn't Spanish full of idiom and sometimes makes sense without meaning to harm any political group?
>>722527451>you are ultimately still keeping your shield up around your heart and everyone at arm's lengthThat's not it. The idea is that you're easily frightened. I guess you could argue you keep everyone at arms length because you fear betrayal or something but that conflicts the aiding friends and kindness thing because it's isolationists.
>>722528220>The idea is that you're easily frightened.It's probably more referring to cowardliness or wimpiness in the sense of fear of being physically hurt. If you'd want to translate this component into English, you'd probably get something like:>The power of the guardian.>Kindness to aid friends.>A shield for the frail to repel all.
>>722524598always minmax by picking staff and renounce shield
>>722524598I picked the staff because ripple drive's scaling is fucking stupid, shit clears whole rooms if you have 6+ MP blocks, not to mention that curaga only uses a block in 1, aeroga is also broken AND bambi is the best summon.
>>722528480Yeah that's good I think.
>>722528750So you knew all this before you played the game for the first time?
>>722528480why are you only talking about the physical when it says ALLit's ALL thingslove, loss, pain, pleasure, companions, the good, the badthe Shield repels ALL, this is not hard to getas a perfect shell the cowardice to face and experience the world as it is, is implied by its' very natureniggas can't into subtext
>>722528480>>722528756Or if you'd want a version that actually emphasizes the intent of the three weapons, namely one of self-improvement and doing away with a negative character trait:>The power of the guardian.>Kindness to aid friends.>A shield that bolsters those frail, to repel all.
>>722524598>always discarded the shieldFeels good, man.
>>722524598The best combo>Pick Staff>Drop Shield>Leave at NightAlso yes that does happen to be the options Chuggaaconroy picked for his LP, what a coincidence!
>>722528940Yeah- no.Because reading it like that would put it directly into conflict with 'kindness to aid friends.'If it repels all, as in everyone and everything, then you have no friends to begin with.
>>722524598>Spanish translation of the English translation of the Japanese translationYikes
>>722527236Stats are huge in kh, even a single point, and learning certain skills earlier is huge as well, early guard and second chance is a godsend
>>722527236You cannot get the 1 MP anywhere else if you ignore Staff whereas the extra item slot is pointless when you pick Sword/Shield because the amount of item slots you have by default is way more than enough making Sword/Shield completely pointless choices.>You will always have worse magic capabilities if you don't make Staff your primary meaning worse Aeroga and Stopga times.>The early game can actually use Fire/Blizzard regularly unlike on Sword/Shield playthroughs.>The magic user will get past the damage threshold to deal normal damage once you get to Hollow Bastion faster than a Sword/Shield user.Just so you understand this, you need to hit certain Strength and Magic thresholds before you start dealing more than chip damage once the world changes when you reach Hollow Bastion and new enemies are added to each map. If I remember right it's like 33ish Strength and 8ish Magic bars. If you don't hit those thresholds you deal chip damage to enemies, if you hit those thresholds you chunk off health. You can even test this yourself when you reach Hollow Bastion by equipping an unequipping Keyblades so that you drop below certain Strength levels, I noticed it in my PS3 playthrough of 1 FM.+Staff -Sword was the best build if you are minmaxing.
i like KH1 way more than 2, i have more memories attached to it, good times
>>722529059I don't think you can do that because the 臆病 modifies the shield. I'm pretty the sure the shield is representing the person. It's emblematic. >>722528940Frail covers the mental and physical aspect. So it still ends up being fine. I think
>>722529059The critical error being made by all these interpretations is that the adjectives are being applied to the shield, not to the bearer.The shield is>全てを拒絶する (rejects/repels all)>臆病な (cowardly/timid)>盾 (a shield)It is a shield of cowardice. It is an all-repelling shield. When you hold it, you are the pussy keeping all things away - INCLUDING those you would try so kindly to protect. The whole point is that it is at odds with its own values of kindness and protection.Much the same as how the sword is purportedly invincible and courageous, and yet:>他人を傷つける (harms others)>破壊の (destructive)>刃 (blade)Much the same how the staff is unseen, inner might, and yet:>魂さえ犠牲にする (takes even one's soul sacrifice)>破滅の (ruinous)>杖 (staff)It's not complicated, and yet, it was apparently too much for the English loc team for KH1 to grasp why these things were written to begin with, instead reducing them to softer, easier-to-digest sludge in the blender of looooooooocalization.
>>722527236doesn't it give a second slot?
>>722526428>>722526554can't even remember what did i choose back then (maybe it was the staff) but probably they are trying to say that even as coward, the wielder will use it to protect the ones he love?
>>722529859>The critical error being made by all these interpretations is that the adjectives are being applied to the shield, not to the bearer.the literal machine translation got that right from the jump, for both the japanese and the spanish text. what was all of this autistic shit even for?
>>722529871>probably they are trying to say that even as coward, the wielder will use it to protect the ones he loveThe anglo still can't understand even when its been put to his language
>>722524598What were the benefits again? I might try a shield run one of these days.
>>722529654it has an air of mystery that none of the other games have, i love it for that. also has actual builds that kh2 lacks because sora does 'fuck you' damage regardless, even kh3 does a better job with that. and Donald and goofy are actually useful
>>722530309And the thirdie is still thirsty.
>>722530367bit tankier, more item slots and you get best abilities sooner
>>722530853Huh, pretty cool, I've always picked the sword.
>>722530367>SwordAll-rounder. Get some good moves early and some of the best endgame moves early. +1 item slot.>ShieldA bit bulkier but lower damage. Get all the best moves early. +2 item slots.>StaffMage focus that is weak at the start but the best endgame choice. Get magic-focused moves early but all the important stuff is backloaded to 30+. +1 magic, can't get it anywhere else.
>pick shield>get called a coward>reject their claimIt's that easy.
>>722531852kek
>>722527102The more brown the internet gets, the more anger you find toward English/the US. Fact.
>>722529861The shield gives an additional item slot, iirc. Which would have much more utility for most of the game than the additional 1 MP the staff gives. The staff's value is for end-game minmaxing, since you can just keep buying item slot expansions up to the max anyway and can grind them to completion - but you cannot do the same with the MP gauge.>>722529871Yes, that's what they're trying to say. Yet the way the weapons are to be seen as emblematic for the user and thus the quality of cowardice / timidness / frailty should transfer to the user, doesn't carry well in English unless you make it explicit.>>722529859The intent is for the adjective on the weapon to transfer to the user. It describes a quality of the personality of the wielder.>A shield for the meek, which repels all>A blade for the violent, which harms others>A staff for the martyr, which sacrifices their soulThe staff specifically is ruinous in the sense of callousness and the wielder not caring for their *own* ruin - i.e. turning themselves into a martyr. There's a juxtaposition there between the blade being outwardly destructive and the staff being inwardly destructive, whereas the shield is neither and represents the meek.
>>722532415This. The rest of the world had this reaction to anglosphere in the 2000s but ultimately decided that they're not that bad comparatively with China looming on and Russia looning out.
>>722533198>Which would have much more utility for most of the game than the additional 1 MP the staff gives.Completely wrong. Item usage even on Proud is very rare at best, likely only being used on Xemnas to do more SC/OM procs via Potions. There's nothing really else to bother with them on as all the bosses can be beaten easily with just Cure usage and anything outside of a Potion is basically pointless. It only has any value on level 1 Proud runs, not casual runs.The extra 1 MP helps early on by allowing Fire/Blizzard to be used more regularly in places like Wonderland and Olympus Coliseum, when you reach Hollow Bastion it gets you past the damage threshold quicker along with letting you spam Gravity more than any other pick making Defenders and Wyverns way easier, and at endgame you are having longer Aerogas, more Curaga casts, more Thundaga casts, and longer Stopgas.Keep in mind that KH1 is also the game where Goofy can have 2 or 3 MP Rages and MP Gift at endgame, so you are permanently having 5 MP due to him constantly gifting you as one hit taken for him = MP Gift to either you or Dolan. The only fight this isn't relevant on is Sephiroth but that fight is easily beaten with just Aeroga and Curaga.
