Such a gem of old-school translationsAnd what makes this funnier in retrospect is she is calling a black guy a retard for acting up
>>12811498Barret was an agro retard though.
People of any race can be retarded.
>>12811498Back then racism was solved and you could call anyone a retard regardless of the color of their skin, just like MLK wanted
>>12811514Tifa calling Barret a retard penned by a Japanese guy was the height of race relations
>>12811498Did this line make it into the modern releases uncut?
>>12811695>Re-releases of the originalYes>"Remakes"No
>>12811498what does the original jp tranlsated look like?
>>12811750A bunch of unintelligible bland dialogue that needed to be punched up with flavor
>>12811750>ちょっと!エンギでもないこと言わないの!So yeah, what >>12811756 said.
>>12811763>>ちょっと!エンギでもないこと言わないの!
>>12811783jp language is weird
>>12811498When did retard become a no no word?
>jp language is weirdGoogle's AI is just smart enough to know Tifa is indeed a cheap whore plagiarized from an actual porn >>>/v/747327494 it seems.
>>12811783>>12811787Aw shit. Guess we have to use the forbidden technique. Dictionary.
>>12811806>Claude! Let's fuck on top the ferris wheel! Aerith was such a whore. Based Sefiros undid her, luckily.
>>12811498I prefer translations to be accurate, that means both keeping any swearing or slurs from the original, but also not adding swears or slurs that were not in the original.>>12811695None of the re-releases of the original PS1 game cut or edited the line, not even the latest one on the Switch, or any of the several times the Steam version was updated, including adding the Switch updates. One one hand I want to give S-E credit for that, on the other I assume it was just them being cheap and/or lazy.>>12811750IIRC it was a line that would not make too much sense if you aren't familiar with Japanese culture, or superstition or something like that (spoiler: I am not). I recall Barret says something along the lines of how he's not going to make it and die here, or that he's not going to be able to see Marlene or something like that, and Tifa's response is closer to "Woah, don't say things like that", with said Japanese implication being that it's bad luck or an ill omen to say something like that. I think she implied that they could be cursed if he said something like that.Basically, yeah, her original line wasn't even close to "Would you stop acting like a retard and climb!?"Not familiar enough with Japanese culture to know if her original line was also basically insulting Barret or if it was a more of the equivalent of someone in the US saying "Don't say that, that's bad luck".
>>12811943A bit more direct and thus rude, but yeah as you said not that level.
there's no filter on naming characters
>>12811958Also fun to name Tifa bitch
>>12811943they couldn't have just said "what if I never see marlene again""don't jinx us"bringing up the possibility of a bad outcome can be considered bad luck which is a close enough equivalent to a curse you would think
>>12811958why would there be a filter in a single player game? it's not like you'll enter a lobby called asshitlerbuttfucknigger and some kid is gonna read it and get offendeddo modern games actually put limitations to what you can call characters even when it's single player?
>>12811916Really, on the rocks?
>>12811498You sure are an angry, stupid fat boy.
>>12811498you have to understand, the people in charge of writing this grew up with charities and commercials openly using the word "retarded".
>>12812030Rocks provide extra friction.
>>12811498> run up the stairs just far enough to grab the elixer> run back down and take the elevator to get a bunch of xp from the easy fights
The cleric in lunar 2 calls stuff retarded in the original.
>>12812029Yes believe it or not
Localization fanfiction is not the original.
Barret's awesome and Tifa's based.
>>12812029Companies are risk averse. Progressives are belligerent crybullies. If they didn’t put those filters on in single player games, either an organic chud or a terminally online leftoid would make offensive names for characters, screenshot them, and post them all over twitter, prompting other terminally online leftoids to cry “how could you let this happen, Square?”. It’s fake and gay, but that’s just the world we live in now.
>>12811789just another thing we can thank zoomers for.
>>12811498I miss zanyvgquotes...
