What's the definitive version of Final Fantasy VI?Is it this or just the gba version?https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/1386/
>>12495373SNES. Any thing else is shit.
>>12495391Yeah, but what translation patch?
>>12495404This might blow your mind to learn. FFVI was officially translated for the SNES in English. It exists. You can buy a cart right now.
>>12495404None. Also why is that boxart the concept art from ff3
WHY IS THIS A WEEKLY THREAD
>>12495429Aren't the corporate translations butchered dogshit though?
>>12495437No. The same corporate people that did the Jap version is also... corporate.
>>12495460>this post was poorly localized
>>12495437all english translations are butchered dogshit
>>12495437So are all the fan translations.May as well get the one that was fucked with the least, which is the one Square did.
I don't understand getting autistic about translations like this, if you really care that much just learn Japanese
retardsall of youbut not me
>>12495404Original only. 99% of JRPG translation patches take stupid liberties and ruin the original spirit of the game.
>>12495404Play the SNES release with this patch: https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/2095/
>>12497068 (me)>>12495404Sorry, wrong ROMHack in the previous post. Use this one instead: https://silentenigma.neocities.org/ff6rose
>>12495432ikrIt might be a shock to some of you, but Romhacking.net stopped. Even after the site came back, the Woolsey writers are in shambles. Those little wannabe localizers did some soul-searching and most of them are gonzo. Yes, really. Now nature can heal finally.These threads can stop now. Get over it.
>>12496984>ruin the original spirit of the gameTed really respected the original spirit of the game with all his hilarious references
>>12497282The reason people even care about it to this day is because of the translation.
>>12495432/vr/ has a FF romhack schizo
>>12497136>most of rhdn's woolseethers od'd after the fake freeze
>>12497518keep your cuck fetish to yourself. If you want woosley to read the game to you and add funny memes thats between you and god.
>>12496959
>>12495437Someone got paid to make them. In these situations that will usually mean it is better than what a Dunning Kruger weeb with an overactive headcanon did for free.
The three (3) Final Fantasy VI English translations:>Squaresoft's Ted Woolsey original by one translator who made it in insane conditions.>RPGOne/SkyRender fan-translation which was well-done hack-wise but amateur text-wise, comin' in swingin' to take the above to task!>Square Enix's Tom Slattery retranslation by a guy who knew the initial rushjob had its problems but sought to elevate rather than teardown like the tonedeaf otaku in the middle tried to.And that's it. There are no other translations. We have research assignments by people who didn't make it playable (kwhazit, luna...) and hack submissions that are some flavor of definitive-bugfix with text selectively ripped from the aforementioned three to suit the authors' tastes, but we most certainly don't have any more in-game retranslations.>"We PREFER the term 'relocalization'!"Yeah yeah, cool whatever, just don't quit your day job lol
>>12498409>Square Enix's Tom Slattery retranslation by a guy who knew the initial rushjob had its problems but sought to elevateAnd instead, he mostly just left the original script alone, only changing the most severe of Woolsey-isms and adding a few of his own (like the diss at the Cefca purists).
>>12495373>FFVI>FFIII concept artSuper famicom is still definitive
>>12498417NTA, but I wish I was in the industry in the mid-2000's to know what the attitudes were, because I can tell you now that the prevailing one is that corporations DESPISE fan translations. The instruction you get whenever there's a fan translation is never to make it too similar. Now considering Square Enix did just that with Final Fantasy V Advance (for better or worse), Mr. Slattery was probably under similar pressure for Final Fantasy VI Advance. Now imagine if the J2e/RPGe/RPGOne IV-V-VI hacks didn't exist when the GBA versions were made. Certainly they made some sort of impact, but whether that was positive or negative in the big picture is anyone's guess. All I have are educated suspicions, but I'd love to peer into that alternate universe to find out!
