Yes, the Japanese script changed quite a bit in being localized into English (for the SNES and PS1 versions, whose scripts are almost identical). The GBA version is also recieving a new localization.
Valigarmanda (or Varigalmanda, as I got it as...) is Tritoch's original name, so I wouldn't call it an uneccessary name change.
Four more days. <3
I worry for my beloved clown but everything else sounds pretty good. I'm still debating about picking it up though... who am I kidding...
I'm pumped. Bring on the relocalization.
Why the hell did they change "son of a submariner!"? :confused:
Seriously, I can't find ANY reason WHATSOEVER!
Is it a classic? - Yes!
Is it considered "strong language"? - No!
Does the line use up every byte on the cartridge? - No!
Is it hilarious? - Yes!
Is it sacred? - Yes!
Oh well, it's still a great game. :D
They left in "spoony bard" when they relocalized FF IV. >_>
No worries. When I get my copy of FFVI Advance I'll have a marker handy and when I get to that scene I'll write "Son of a Submariner!" on my screen and all will be right with the world.
I told my dad if he ever saw me crying with my GBA, it's because they ruined my game... AND THEY'RE DOING IT, and I just teared up. I cry over few things, but I -will- cry if they kill my FFVI. I can't wait till next week.. it'll be the saddest week ever.. :cry: :cry: :cry:
No, I'm not talking about localizatin, I mean just the japanese versions of the various versions of the game.As in, is the japanese script in FFVI advance the same as the original super famicom version of the game?Quote:

Trying to say "Valigarmanda" as fast as you can over and over is an amusing task. >.>
And yes, the classic line being changed is a tragedy, but alas I'll try to survive. XP
I too will be picking up this title on the day of release, so I'll be looking for all the little alterations. I wonder if I can preserve the SNES feeling with Gameboy Player for GCN? Only time will tell.
Oh! I see what you mean. Well, to my knowledge, they are indeed the same.Quote:

But, given the amount of people flipping out because one line is apparently being changed, I'm not too surprised.
Anyway,

Yeah but like "You spoony bard!" was like FFIV's catch phrase, in my opinion "Son of a Submariner!" was FFVI's. Why would you change one and not the other. ; ;.Quote:
