I like the new script

[Flying Mullet]

I know I've read my fair share of "Blasphemy, they've changed the script!" posts, but I've actually enjoyed the new script so far. It's picked up on a lot of the nuances that Woolsey's original localization missed.

For example, when the group is walking through Narshe to protect the esper:

Celes:     So you were born with the power of Magic!? Isn't it a lovely gift...
Terra:     You... can use Magic, too?
Celes:     When I was a baby I was artificially infused with Magic, and raised as a Magitek Knight.
Terra:     Have you... loved anyone?
Celes:     ??? What's that supposed to mean?

Celes:     Terra... Who'd have thought we'd meet again...like this?
Terra:     You can use magic, too...can't you? But...it's different from mine.
Celes:     I was raised to be an Imperial Magitek knight. When I was still very young, I was artifically infused with magic.
Terra:     ...Is it possible for you to love other people?
Celes:     ...? Are you mocking me?

It makes sense that Celes would at least know who Terra since Terra was a killing machine of the Empire. Also, I like the shift to Celes getting defensive at Terra's love question rather than confused, it fits her character of being a general better and thinking that Terra is making fun of her.

Anyways, that's just one example of why I'm enjoying this script much more than the original.

I'm having problems getting through a certain part of the original (PS1) but when I beat it, I'll go out and buy a copy of the new one, to see what you're talking about.

I like the new translation as well. I think it develops the characters better.

The new translation is definitely the bee's knees.

Golly Gee bunny, I couldn't agree more.

I'm also enjoying the new translation. The only thing I didn't like was that they changed "That's Shadow! He'd slit his mama's neck for a nickel" into "He'd kill his own friend for the right price." But besides that, the new translation is cool

I'm just happy to have properly named spells and items.

There are a few nice jokes in the dialogue as well.

At first I liked the "slit his mamma's throat" line better as well, but then I remembered the whole Clyde/Baram thing and realized the irony to the line "kill his own friend." I think it's a huge improvement.

For those of us who've played the original a zillion times, a new script is incredibly refreshing.

[Necronopticous]

Overall I dig the new translation but there are a few lines that I definitely prefer Ted's take on. The best example I can think of is Kefka's "I will create a monument to non-existence" being changed to "I will create an empire...of DEATH!"

[Jowy]

imho Kefka's line should have remained the same. I did enjoy all of the other changed dialogue, however.

[Kenshin IV]

I'm deep enough in it right now to agree. The new script is very well done and flows a lot more fluidly than the original. It helps that they didn't make any unecessary name changes, either *cough*Tina*cough*.

[Mirage]

I would have been satisfied if they didn't change the name of Aurabolt and Firedance

[Kenshin IV]

Small potatoes. I can live with a few attack name changes as long as they don't mess with character names. Besides, Rising Phoenix is way cooler than Fire Dance.
