    He asked for the original US translation, but it's nice to learn something new. Thanks, 'Kishi.

    Kishi, you rule! Is there something else you can translate from the Japanese version, like (SPOILER)Garland's final speech about time-loop?

    Actual dialogue is a lot more complex to translate than spell names, so I'd rather just go with Origins on that one.

    Especially considering how many different times it's been translated--the NES version, Origins, fan translations, and now the upcoming GBA version, which inexplicably seems to be getting its own translation--I seriously doubt there's any way to translate it that will make it make any sense. It is, after all, time travel.

    It is rather difficult to explain paradox, isn't it?
    No profanity in sigs please.
    Sigh. What profanity? I quoted Sephex's post from Eyes on Each Other from about a year ago, and any "profanity" in his post was either **** or ***** anyway. Whatever. And you wonder why forum traffic is way down.
