I didn't mind Nanaki as a kid, but nowadays he reminds me too much of furries. Not sure if I've been brainwashed by hatred or if I've just developed common sense when I start questioning talking human-like animals.

Plenty of Japanese games do the; "Half the menu is in English"-meme.

the same reason most white americans can only speak american; their internet is japanese, their media is japanese, everything they need to consume is in Japanese. Why would they need to learn English?
>>
>>3415925
Yes, just like how Germans only speak German.
>>
>>3415930
The markets and demographics are ENTIRELY different.

>>3415946
Germany, France, Italy and Spain all get more translations and dubs than anyone else, yet your average person from those countries understands English perfectly. The Japanese are brain damaged.

japanese games have always had english text all over them.

>Germany, France, Italy and Spain all get more translations and dubs than anyone else yet

Because they're all in the same western cultural sphere, there's a demand for American and European content because people can relate to the underlying philosophical concepts and cultural references that we're not even conscious of.

That's not to mention that America has a massive population and economic might, which along with the Marshall Plan more or less meant that it was inevitable for the last few generations to be proficient in English, compounded by the internet.

So, naturally, we tend to learn English through cultural osmosis, whereas there's very little opportunity for Japanese people to do so because we're fundamentally different cultures.

They're not aliens, of course, we can still relate on a broad level as empathetic human beings, but there's a reason why the majority of non-capeshit Western media flops there or isn't even released, or why western audiences and Japanese audiences will quite often have almost polar opposite opinions on products from the Japanese subculture (anime, manga, video games, jrock/jpop/denpa music, Murakami).

Why do you think "Japan has shit taste", both ironically and unironically, is such a popular mantra amongst Japanophiles in the West?

>your average person from those countries understands English perfectly

Young people yes, but you're overestimating France, Italy, and Spain.

tl;dr western culture VS japanese culture

Terrible. Nomura... This is too terrible.
>>
Nojima was the writer, Kitase was the producer, directors were Hamaguchi, Toriyama, and Nomura as a trio, but Nomura's tendencies are well known, so he cops all the blame. Poor fella.
>>
No, Honkai Star Rail is why people are ignoring FF VII Rebirth. No RPG could beat it in Japan (65 million month.)
>>
>>3416532
Kitase is still the brand manager, head of CBU I and a board member.
He gets all the blame, all the time. Until he stops releasing slop.

First of all, they might not even know lowercase letters.

Go shit up the other Rebirth thread with your bugmen shitposting, zipperhead wannabe.

Some JRPG Devs (especially Square Enix) don't understand what the use of UI design is, you know.
>>
>>3414499
The only person in the game with kanji in his name is Professor Hojo, even the Wutai people are all katakana.

>>3414478
I asked a Japanese person about this, they just find it "exotic" but it can be a bit frustrating for people who don't know any English at all. Even though most of those would be in katakana they wont always reconize the words.

>Original game has a one off silly moment you get a giggle out of in passing.

>>
>>3414534
Well it's obvious you and many others' imagination of the character's voices in the OG's been shattered by the devs interpretation.
>>
Nomura: Haters may not think you're all true fanboys and fangirls, but you all know what I think?

Japanese gamer A: Not interested.
Japanese gamer B: Pathetic.
Japanese gamer C: Back off.
Japanese gamer D: A**hole…

Nomura: What?

It's up to the West to save this masquerade of a trilogy.

You okay?

You're looking weird, UI.

Really weird.

Everyone, thanks for everything. And... I'm sorry. Sorry... Sorry... Especially you, FF7. I'm really sorry You've been so good to me...... I don't know what to say... I never lived up to being 'FF7R'. FF7... Maybe one day you'll meet the real 'FF7R'.
>>
>>3414478
huh? Nipss complained japanese in this game is so hard to understand as well
Nomura, Nojima really like double meaning dialogs that no one enjoys.

These old hacks can't help themselves
>>
>>3416010
TL;DR: Japanese people are stupid and are ironically incapable of learning other langues.

Ah yes, that's totally why.

Nomura gets all the blame because he's the artist, so his contributions are visual and easy to digest. The others' part of the workload is more abstract and much harder to separate from their coworkers', like the writing or general ideas. You don't have any way to know if a particular plot point or gameplay feature is from Nomura, Nojima, Kitase, or any number of literally who's on the dev team. But you know exactly who designed Cloud, so people just to tend lump everything onto the guy with a face.
>>
>>3428014
>Nomura, Nojima really like double meaning dialogs that no one enjoys.
Because the average IQ has dropped 20% since their generation
>>
>>3431879
Most Chinese and Koreans are bad at speaking English, just like the Japanese. Yeah, the Japanese English teaching system is arguably a lot worse than in Korea/China, but the underlying issue is with the languages themselves.

It's very hard for Takeshi to learn English, and it's very hard for Davido-san to learn Japanese. Meanwhile Pierre or Hans can pick up English in a few years.
>>
>>3431656
It's not ugly, just cringy.
>>
>>3419770
Somehow the bald bar scene manages to replicate the tone of the OG perfectly in this respect. It's honestly amazing how the writers could understand it for that one scene, but fuck everything else up so badly.
The Hojo encounter at Costa del Sol might be the worst offender of this in the whole game.
>>
What about "Cait Sith"?
His Japanese name should've always been pronounced like "Ket Shee" based on Gaelic.
>>
>>3414478
cuz ff7r devs hate japanese people/language.

The issue I have with his voice is because it's basically a split personality.
>>
>>3415925
>Why would they need to learn English?
Because everyone else has decided that English is the most convenient language to interoperate in due to a combination of historical momentum and linguistic quirks making the language accessible for adult learners.
>>
>>3436985
At this point, any anon you reply to from weeks ago might as well have died after that made their post on here. Not sure why you queers act like your having conversations when /vrpg/'s just a pump n' dump board.

Not an excuse. 90% of posters in threads like these left after they make their bitchy comment. Dead Internet Theory is real on here.

Thats not what Dead Internet Theory means.
Dead Internet Theory says internet consists mostly of bot activity created to brainwash you into buying something by making it appear more popular than it actually is through AI "fans" and manipulate public perception about world events etc.

What about him? His japanese name is ケット・シー (ketto shii) which is as close of an approximation you're going to get when working with japanese syllabary.

Makes no sence at all.
What does the 'Japanese version' mean?

That is what we call a lack of creativity, y'know.

SE has just shat the bed with the mainline ones with 15, 7 Remake, 16 and now 7 Rebirth. So sad and hopeless.

FF7 was incredibly innovative at the time and influenced the genre for a decade, but FF7 Remake and Rebirth aren't and don't.

What's your goal with necrobumping threads? What're you attempting to do?

If they want to learn a efficient language they would just learn german. English only good for cause me bad english still understand.

I don't think necrobumping is the issue, there's been multiple posts that have been deleted by mods and subsequently reappeared. I think the mods may be at war with each other over this thread.

I have FF7 Remake on Ps4. I really nenachu this series lol If I had the room for more games I'd get the 2nd and 3rd one. I'm certain all of them are not only reputable yet ever-learning too. They teach you really great lessons! For instance how to master magic! Remember: Kekopuchua lol The one thing I'm really worried about though is Square Enix. I seriously think they should just shut down or something. Isn't that enough commemoration? Which reminds me I gotta get back to playing my SNES App on my SmartPhone.
