- I hate FFXIII mostly because it tries too hard to be deep by using overly complicated terms for really easy concepts. Call the Fal'cie demigods. Call the I'Cie The Branded, call the Cieth's the Fallen/Failed. USE SIMPLE WORDS TO EXPLAIN.
That being said, I love Snow and Serah and sort of hate that I do. S-sob.

- FFVIII actually isn't so bad if you just don't take it seriously; also if you enjoy breaking games over your knee, it's the best one to do so if you like childrens card games.

also, maybe don't use so many flashbacks and reliance on people to look into documents in your menu to see what terms are

oh yeah, that too. Mind FFXII did that as well, but it also used words that MADE SENSE.

yeah, a naive characters helps, but all the characters at like 'this this and this'

@kharamagic
Wed, May 27, 2020 2:39 AM
but yeah, the complicated terms are in part the localization team's fault, wanting to top previous entries to make the terms more original than before

Sometimes you just want the path to ultimate power and breaking the game in half to be by playing a children's card game.

usually the localization teams come up with the terms for summons and various other related concepts...the japanese versions tend to use the same terms for every entry in the franchise

that's the only reason i could think they might go for shorter, awkward terms

Wed, May 27, 2020 2:45 AM
they only reworked the mouths from my understanding, but not whole scenes so
zoki.
@kharamagic
Wed, May 27, 2020 2:46 AM
the FFX localization similarly changed the terms, though some of the originals were mouthfuls

I just like punching god in the face to be, y'know, thematically resonant with whatever the story is trying to say. And doesn't require a dictionary for me to parse it.

Funny enough X has the Al-bhed primers, but I don't consider those being essential to the story. They were more of a fun replay translation bonus.
