"Attack while its tails up!"

[Sephiroth2088]

Attack while its tails up! If you do it's gonna counter-attack with it's laser!
In the beginning of ff7 did anyone else attack right when barret said "Attack while its tails up! and get counter-attacked. The text was a little strangly written here. I'm just curious.

[zacks_clone]

i did.I hardly payed any attention to the text at the top though

[Big D]

He should say, "DON'T attack while its tail's up." That'd make far more sense, since you're not meant to attack when its freakin' tail is up....
this translator are sick.

[Cloudane]

Yeah, there's a lot of fluffy translation in FF7, particularly in Midgar for some reason

Sure, I attacked it. And got smeared with that laser.

[NM]

I did the same thing. Quality translation.

[crono_logical]

Wasn't the translation fixed in the platinum or whatever the rerelease version was?

I was only 9 when i was up against that boss for the first time. I didn't know any english, except maybe yes and no, so yeah, I hit him while the tail was up... I think I died like ten times, and I didn't understand why...

It would not have made a difference if the translation was correct...

[Cloudane]

Yikes, has it been that long? It still feels like yesterday almost!

I have the platinum version (first one I had wasn't quite legal, Square deserved more than that rectification for such a good game.) The translation is still the same.

"Big bro this 'n' big bro that"

[MecaKane]

I knew better from FFVI and IV.
Too bad they're bastards and can't put a nifty little first boss thing like that other ones. >:O

[Shoeberto]

Yeah, that confused the heck outta me the first time I played through.

Allegedly, the PC version has a better script.

I remember getting it around 4 years ago (late release in Australia) by accident. Didn't have a CLUE what turn based meant, and I could never get pass that boss.

Now I have the platinum version (my original got uber scratched!), don't know if it's been fixed though.

[Angel_Eyes]

It's also the speed of the message. If it was quicker, you'd be like "Whoa, so maybe I SHOULDN'T attack when it's tails up"
Well, they say what dosen't kill you only makes you stronger ^_^ Except....it killed me. Several times in fact.

[Deandre]

First time I got there I got killed off because of that #&(^#*&%(*# TranslatioN!

[Brian The Pink Shark]

I was only nine the first time I played FF7, I didn't understand what counter-attack meant, I fell for it over and over again(untill I read the manual)
