Tried playing this and there's like 30 typos in the first hour

Did no one play it before they released it?

This bugged me a lot as well, but disregarding the "it's" typo, it makes sense when both lines are read together. He does say it will counterattack if you attack while the tail is up. Just poorly.

As an Irishman I'd say "tae" and "aboot, doon, noo" can't be Irish; must be Scottish. Not really that bad, because it's not hammed-up (in this instance at least)

Pic related is what really grinds my gears: nonsensical, retarded use of old-timey speech. Remaineth would mean (he/she/it) REMAINS. It can not be a command.

Reading Cyan's dialogue from FF6 is absolutely painful if you know the first thing about early modern (not old or middle) English. "Thou" is a less respectful pronoun than "you". It's like tu/vous in French, du/Sie in German.

>>	Anonymous Sun May 14 12:54:44 2017 No.3992894 >>3992842 The opening portion of the game is actually as good as the translation gets. As soon as you meet Aeris it goes to complete shit and never recovers.

Maybe he played the PAL version which corrected a lot of typos

>>3992842
Sony themselves handled the localization and was done by 3 translators

>>3992894
I don't know what you're referring to, the translation is fine other than some ambiguity over the translation of "星" as "Planet" and "セフィロス・コピー" as "Sepiroth clone"

>"Thou" is a less respectful pronoun than "you". It's like tu/vous in French, du/Sie in German.
I've always wondered about that, since "ye" as in ye olde apparently is supposed to be pronounced just like "the" because whatever reasons, wouldn't "thou" and "you" have ye same pronunciation?

>>3994758

The "ye" thing is actually even more retarded than that. "Ye" is an improper transcription of [thorn] + [e]. Thorn is an obsolete Old and Middle English character that forms the diphthong [th].

So it's literally some fucking moron that mistranscribed "[thorn]e Olde Shoppe" as "Ye Olde Shoppe", even though that's completely wrong and it's just Middle English for "The Old Shop".
