What's the right way to localize "nakama" word without it losing it's real japanese meaning?
>>
depends on context
>>
>>748961319
>cherrypicking japanese grammar rules to be "faithful"
i hate weebs so much
>>
>>748961319
before that, isn't it grammatically strange? are there non-nakamas from anvalanche-gumi? maybe it would be better to just leave it out and say "join up with Anvalanche-gumi"

What's wrong with "we must join up with the rest of Avalanche"?
>>
>>748961319
Barret is easiest to translate since it's always "my nigga"
>>
"hey tifa kun, we must join with our friendly fellow team members from the avalanche eco-terrorist group!"
>>
>>748961319
in this context a word like compatriots, or just cutting the word entirely like:
>>748961684
would be the cleanest imo

Comrade in the context of a paramilitary terrorist group.

there is no such thing as a 1 to 1 translation. you always lose eIther meaning or poetic value when moving from one language to the next. you can't keep both.

The people who use Honorifics in translations need to be killed

I like translating with them. Adds cultural flare.

>>748965763
As Fire Emblem Fates showed to us, you need honorfics for people to love your translation

how bout ebonics, are ebonics ok to use in translations?
>>
>>748961319
what retarded translation are you even using?
>>
>>748961684
Translators are being pedantic faggots because people are tired of them translating "we must join up with the rest of Avalanche" as "we finna have to link up epic amogus style with big chungus trans rights avalanche". More specifically, they're getting nervous that machine translating is getting servicable enough that you can side step them entirely without having to learn a whole language.
>>
>>748966226
This is it, really.
Translators overstep into rewriting and editorializing too much. It's not "literal vs localized" it's a faithful-within-reason translation vs the translator's barely disguised fetish/politics and flavor of the month pop culture references.
>>
>>748963838
Can you post more of these Tifa slut evidence images?

Something about this particular cuckposter seems more mentally ill than normal.

I don't mind this
It's how we learned about that different, alien culture from watching shit like Gintama and Geass and reading the TLNotes
>>
>>748963838
You have to wonder how often Tifa let the rest of Avalanche use her body.

Why didn't you T/N what "Shinra" means
>>
>>748971114
It doesn't technically mean anything. It's a proper noun.
>>
>>748961319
I think I no how the mistranslation of 実を言うと happened in metaphor. They thought the と was quoting. They read it as
>That telling to truth stuff, I was afraid of it.
They thought she was quoting herself and then talking about the thing she quoted.
>>
>>748971410
*know how
>>
>>748961319
The correct localization should be

>Miss Tifa, We must join with our comrades from the Avalanche Cell
>No, Sir Cloud, First we must stop The Holy Shroud Company's photomagik reactir.
>>
>>748972401
>photomagik

I played OG FF7 recently after putting it off for years and damn was it great.
Now I have the remake in my cart, but I think I'm gonna hate it. Should I play the remake?
Just from what I've seen the remake feels soulless and cringe, I'm going to hate it aren't I?
>>
>>748972732
gee i wonder how i can fit partiarchy bad in there
>>
>>748972931
Give it your best shot.

>>748961319

>>
>>748972930
Remake really messes up the atmosphere. It doesn't have the same melancholic and gritty tone of the original. The Sector 7 plate collapse sequence is the perfect example of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5yUZQcXLzg
>>
>>748972930
There nothing wrong with remake, only larpers who never even played 7 when it was relevant hate it.
Oh wait, that's you....

>>748961319
>shi
Isn't it sha?
>>
>>748973531
First kanji is 神, read as しん iirc.
