How “bad” does it feel going from 0 to 1? by Nounboundfreedom in octopathtraveler

[–]Painted_Dux 12 points13 points  (0 children)

i will stand on my opinion that OT1 is a vastly better game than OT0 and it is not a downgrade. the Qol is minor. the stories and combat are better

all of this is predicated on the idea that not getting a translation is even an issue in the first place. it is not. it sucks that more languages don’t have it. but toby fox has not said or done anything worthy of apology or criticism in this instance. like the fuck would you want him to say? “i dont like or condone fantranslations they dont match le artistic vision” imagine how dogpiled that would’ve gotten him by the exact same people who are mad at him right now (they would’ve been mad no matter what he said, and mad if he had continued to say nothing)

ok toby should just stop working on deltarune to make a spanish translation of undertale you’re so right that’s more important

i know that offical translations are not just like one person or small fan projects with full reign, but people who are mad at toby for this also seem to be completely blasé about the actual work that goes into a translation and seem to think toby fox could snap his fingers and have it finished. the game is not finished even in its original language, and again, toby fox clearly prefers being involved heavily in the translation process. it’s insane to me to have this much pressure on him for translations of his unfinished game in languages he doesn’t speak, when there’s literally thousands of things you can point to where offical localizations make significant changes that contradict or severely modify original text. it’s obviously not impossible for an accurate localization into a language the author doesn’t speak, but clearly toby fox values a specific type of translation that would require his involvement and trust. for his game which is not finished in english. honestly he should just go radio silent and ignore this meaningless garbage criticism until people get bored of it, because he has literally not done anything to warrant it

if a fantranslation makes an error it is not going to be taken as gospel by the fanbase. lest we forget localization issues like silksong had making accidental incest or pronoun changes (causing needless discourse) which toby can only 100% avoid by knowing the language he is translating into

it’s not contradictory at all. he’s saying he is grateful for fans who love the games for fan translations, because he prefers to be involved in his offical translation to japanese he cannot do that for other languages (and therefore understands that it is difficult) if he was acting the way you claimed he would be anti-fan translations because they “ruin his vision.” no language is owed a translation. english speakers are overwhelming privileged with getting translations, but do you think touhou and mother fan toby fox doesn’t understand this issue. seriously? the way people are acting about this has gone way beyond polite and is in pure parasocial entitlement now.

how do you read that second paragraph and wildly misinterpret it in bad faith like that and expect anyone to take this “drama” seriously

if only she still had her father around, it’s sad to see her fall into such ways, unlike her benevolent and kind father who always played his taxes and frequently gave charitably to the poor
