World of Final Fantasy

...

I'd be willing to give them the benefit of the doubt on the second image that the original Japanese lines might have possibly been similar (I mean, there's been a game or two where "arrow to the knee" was actually in the original Japanese script as well), but not that first one. Worth remembering that Square is the sort of company that (at one point anyhow) required prospective employees to write fanfiction as part of the hiring process.

Are there any other glaring instances of terrible translations? I desperately want to believe that these two are the worst things the game has to offer.

Looks like garbage, let FF die already.

Dualizard is adorable.
Is there porn?

We need porn of the chibis

Might just be me, but after Dragon Quest, Drakengard 3, the tumblring of the moogles in Type-0, and changes for Bravely Second, I'm rather leery of anything that Square clears to bring over at this point. Either they have an internal team prone to this stuff, or are fine with/encourage this sort of shit from whatever third party they whore games out to for localization.

Would really need to have someone with the Japanese version post the original lines for the examples up there though, but it still doesn't bode well for the rest of the game if people are already finding questionable lines.

You speak like the back of a game box.

Oh boy, more Lightning.

I honestly used this for customer support ENGLISH VOICE DLC WHEN!?

Its shit.

...

Ramza has done his deeds. He saved the world and the world saw fit to erase him from history. Let heroes forgotten to time rest in peace.

...

oh boy another FF that relies on nostalgia, fan pandering, and waifu,moe shit instead of a game with a good story and world building.

I bet its for mobile too

Which chibi is the cutest?

None. The style they chose is gross.

hey man fuvck ass shiut bitch?

I'm not sick in the head dude

NONE

This is fucking atrocious. My stomach hurts just from looking at these abortions.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me you little bitch? I'll have you kn

The chibis in the game look absolutely nothing like those.

I swear I clicked on
, how did that happen?

There's a difference between WOFF and that, and it's the facial shape and eyes.

the one in this pic have ugly vertical eyes that don't express emotion

That's the best part, it's a sony exclusive. I bet you are just a jealous mustard :^)

Yeah, those actually look fucking good, unlike those Pop!Vinyl abortions

NEVER EVER NEVER

...

Literally a female model

Are you new to final fantasy? Name one manly FF protagonist. I'll give you 20 years.

But the hips, user. The hips!
Also why hasn't that game come to the west yet?

HEER U HAVE IT!

English voice pack has been dropped!

I wonder why they are releasing the english and JP voices at different times.

I got the japanese voice overs as free dlc. It came with the game when I got it from Amazon. Not sure why it isn't listed on the store though.

This sounds like a plus to me. I watched a stream of the first 45 minutes of the game, and there's some racoon faggot animal with one of the most annoying vocal tics ever put in vidya. Also the main protagonists sound like total faggots whenever they open their mouths.
Silence is golden, in this case.

Is the game actually fun at all, though? Those 45 minutes streamed contained no actual gameplay since it was entirely cutscenes and forced hand-holdy tutorials.

Yeah, the dialogue is fucking awful most of the time. The racoon's "The" insertions aren't actually that bad and the worst characters are the two main characters who are generic, new age, anime protagonist.

My thoughts:

The gameplay outside of how ridiculous the art style is, is pretty solid. You can judge the game all you want on translation merits but the game itself is pretty dumb. This reminds me a lot of Ni No Kuni, not in anything significant but what it set out to do. It's a game for kids, like little kids. Every line in the game is voiced, most of the words are short and the lines are memorable. The mechanics are pretty well explained and not very deep and it's incredibly slow.

The not-pokemon mechanic is interesting and better done than FFXIII-2 which this game seems to take some stuff from. The Mirage board is leagues better than the monster board in XIII-2 though because it's closer to FFX's and the monsters don't max out after you fill up just one and can transform into other, differently sized, monsters with different abilities but a majority of the modules on the original board stay and you can turn them back at any time.

I'm only on the 4th or 5th "dungeon" so far and none of the areas have really "wowed" me with design. Artistically the game is gorgeous, the semi-fixed camera let them pack in the detail a lot, but the areas are also pretty short so far, I'm hoping the dungeons get more complex because the ones I'm on right now are pretty hallway-esque with mostly just twists and turns instead of having any real offshoots.

One thing that really bugs me is the dedicated jump button and the dedicated "switch main character" button. The R button switches between the two main characters at any point in the overworld, and they're literally identical in the overworld. It has no effect on the battle at all as far as I can tell and I keep accidentally pushing it. It should have been relegated to a menu or chosen at start. As for the jump button it's totally useless, I'm about 4 hours in and there is no use for it besides to do this short itty bitty, useless hop. Both of these would have done MUCH better as a dedicated run button because the character's walking speed is slow as balls. The game keeps telling me about this joyride ability that I think is the run command but I dunno yet because I have yet to test it out.

Overall the game is incredibly average outside of the solid art style. Gameplay wise it's a 6/10, at least it tries to be unique and interesting at points but the early game just isn't all that amazing.

Lets talk about the sephiroth summon…
