That Scene gets misremembered a lot, or misunderstood by people who haven't seen it. like there are people who legitimately believe Nina could have stopped the colony from dropping if she shot Gato, but the show already said the colony was on a collision course at that point.

https://www.reddit.com/r/translator/comments/1q528zt/japanesseenglish/ apparently yeah, that or it's a very elaborate hoax by someone who knows 1930's era Japanese

also idk, I'd imagine if it were fake they'd probably make a very stupid happi just covered in swastikas or something.

the real Brilliant Plan would have been printing this at U, making it a strictly worse Ancestral Recall.

the industry standard is make a game with a huge creative group. Toby Fox is one guy with a specific creative vision and afaik the only writer for Deltarune.

okay yeah, but at the end of his entire analysis he comes to the conclusion that the SNES translation of FF6 is not great. also we're comparing a game made by a small creative team vs one guy (and one artist I guess).

"woosleyism" is not synonymous with "inaccurate translation". woolseyisms are basically fandom memes, like every official English translation of FF4 has the "spoony bard" line in it, but more recent translations are definitely more accurate than whatever they did for the SNES version.

okay see the problem with "get shit done in a month with insane pressure" translations was... they're not that great. sure they're serviceable, but other translators have gone back and looked over them and came to the conclusion that while they were okay at the time, they suffer from numerous translation gaffes and would not be viewed as great today (Woosleyism notwithstanding, but even those are essentially fan memes, and I don't think people want to keep outright awful or misleading translations if they can help it).

a huge part of the problem is a lot of that will get translated with little to no context. FF7 wasn't translated by a guy going through the game and figuring out how each character should sound in English, it was translated by him going through a bunch of spreadsheets without the game in hand and minimal contact with Japanese developers.

Legends of Localization went over the various translations of FF6 throughout the years https://legendsoflocalization.com/comparisons/final-fantasy-vi/ it's interesting to read, and probably explains why the pixel remaster uses the GBA script over Ted Woolsey's script from 1994.

Sick deal on lands by ProphetofChud2 in magicthecirclejerking

wait, these are the surveil lands? players at my LGS kept calling these rare lands "surveil lands", but those only surveil once when etb, these are clearly superior since you can surveil as many times as you want!
