FF7 - Retranslation Complete

[seiferalmasy2]

Basically the main translation for Part 1 is done. A link will be placed here soon to the downloadable files. (next 5 days).

The document is now open for everyone to look at. I would appreciate constructive criticism, if you see any errors especially.

Cool. I'm pleased you've doen it - you (and everyone else involved) have obviously been working hard.

[Aerith's Knight]

Congrats. It's always nice to see hard work paid off in the end.

[DarkMassacre]

What does the first part contain? All of what was in that link? No dialogue changes yet?

[seiferalmasy2]

First part is everything except dialogue. And believe me it is harder to do than dialogue too

The only dialogue updated with the latest release will be world map dialogue (like "oh the sand's like a river, better not go this way"

and limit skill dialogue "this is not for me"

etc

See the document on the forum for list of changes

[DarkMassacre]

I looked over the document. Thanks for all the hard work. I'll wait until the dialogue is also done though, as I've been wanting to play through a properly translated FF VII forever. I've been wanting to play FF III-VI anyway and a thousand other games so I can keep myself busy until then.

[seiferalmasy2]

yup It may take a long time. We have all the japanese matched to english version ready to change it all, but time needed is considerable although its nowhere near as difficult as the non dialogue was.

and limit skill dialogue "this is not for me"

So then Tifa's isn't going to be saying, "I've got the wrong person."

[seiferalmasy2]

and limit skill dialogue "this is not for me"

So then Tifa's isn't going to be saying, "I've got the wrong person."

No, she now says:

Tifa
I've got the wrong person.
あれ、これは違う人のね。
Hmm, this is for someone else.

[MJN SEIFER]

How have you handled the line "Hmmm... So that's how you'll fooled them!" or however it went.

PLEASE tell me you didn't stoop to the fanboy-ish "translation*" that the PC version did.

*Translation = just something they did to get a childish reaction out of the fans.

[Mirage]

What was it the PC version did that was worse anyway

[MJN SEIFER]

It was something like;

Cloud: I'll just see if I can get more items here.

Aeris: Sure, good excuse.

It really doesn't work in my opinion because;


1. It looks like a fan translation; "Oh let's make Cloud a pervert for one second in the game!"

2. The characters aren't suppose to know that there are items there.

3. They aren't supposed to know what sort of place it is. They are stll new to the area.

[Mirage]

Why aren't they supposed to know there are items there?

[Mercen-X]

It's an exploration thing. They learn as they go. If they already know what can be found, then they already know how to get them and the player would have no place in deciding what they obtain.

[seiferalmasy2]

I will check what it says there, although they are supposed to know what place it is, One says "You DO know what kind of place this is, right?" and they are going there for things to make cloud a woman.
