12 mogs 10 so hard it should be criminal

it was kino, and i'm tired of pretending otherwise

>>3814160
12 is unambiguously the best FF and only fags disagree.

>>3814160
>op pic
>"japanese humor"
it's literally a sad scene that filtered every american who played the game

Everything I deeply like and understand that is hated by social media right now will eventually be vindicated when people understand how good it really is in 10 years and everyone now but me will be considered a stupid bigot

I could get if you found the scene awkward or something since you don't really get explicitly stated context until Bikanel, even though the implicit suicidal nature of Yuna's journey isn't subtle, but come on.

>>3816752
It's weird how those people didn't pay any attention whatsoever, all it took was someone suggesting it's bad acting and they hopped on that line of thinking without question.

>>3816752
The laughing scene was a proto-meme circa early 2000s Something Awful.

>>3816757
I remember all video game voice acting feeling inherently cringey back then.

>>3814160
... Well done faggot

>>3816770
Some were, but to be fair, a lot of video game writing and translation was cringe, especially when spoken it aloud

>>3816784
I think it was beyond anything to do with quality. People just were not used to it at all yet, especially juxtaposed with primitive emote-like animation.

>>3816791
I didn't have a problem. Kids had watched shitty cartoons anyway, I presume

Autism. You have it.

>No other quality games with FFX's combat
Unfair. If there is someone who happens to like the ATB games they have like 6 FFs to play.

>>3814160
>hehe the joke is japanese people are pedos!

So funneh!

FFX's voice acting WAS bad, not just for this one scene. They have to play half the clips at double speed to fit them in. It's atrocious. Yuna's voice sounds awkward and unnatural. Just... bad.

>>3819762
You don't know what autism is.

>>3824922
The dub is actually pretty good. Why are all weebs such insufferable cobtrarians? It's almost a cliche at this point.

>>3824922
I hate bad dubs but X was fine
It ought to be because the worst sins of dubs are caused by awkward scripts trying to match Jap lip flaps. The low quality MMORPG emote animations of most of X make it so they couldn't ruin the dub chasing flaps.

>SHE WAS ONLY 80 YEARS OLD YOU SICK FUCK

>>3825042
>>3825065
You guys are fucking with me, right? You don't honestly think the VA in X is good, right?

>>3826642
I can't think of many games that had better VA at the time.

>>3816752
Americans being disingenuous and taking scenes out of context to shit on things they don't like is nothing new

>>3826642
I don't think you've seen the current day dubs of like the LN adaptions that have come out recently dude
the eminence in shadow dub is fucking embarassing, I got flashbanged by it from a random youtube short

>>3826730
Why does it need to be compared to other video games? Voice acting is voice acting and that game's was shit. The awkward deliveries, the sped up recordings, the terriblrle dialogue... It was just bad.
>>3826776
I genuinely don't understand what you're trying to say throughout most of this, but no, I haven't seen current day dubs of just about anything. That has nothing to do with a 20+ year old game having shit voice-over work, though.

>>3826915
>Why does it need to be compared to other video games?
Because I don't trust or value some guy's opinion saying something is shit.
>Voice acting is voice acting
Because they also say something like this.

>eng dub
not my problem
laughing at all of you

>>3827301
no cause to laugh. FFX in English was epic, Auron in particular

>>3829215
honestly the eng dub is pretty good and people schizoing about it are pretty silly desu
it's also one of the only ff games with a mostly good english translation (7, 8, 9, and everything after 12 are basically nothing but fanfiction which is hilarious and sad, you're not even playing the same game at that point)

>>3829343
>7, 8, 9, and everything after 12 are basically nothing but fanfiction
How are you not counting the earlier games, where limited character count had a huge impact on scripts? I'd bet anything 13's is closer to the original than 4's or 6's.

>>3830156
Because some people are just stupid, Anon.
>Yeah, the games that are notoriously poorly translated are obviously the only ones that match the vision of the creators. Heh, heh. He said 'Spoony Bard.'

>>3830156
those games have more of an excuse to have bad translations, that having been said
"ERMM WHY DIDN'T YOU MENTION EVERYTHING EVER MADE IN HISTORY EVER FOREVER" like
relax

>>3830583
>"ERMM WHY DIDN'T YOU MENTION EVERYTHING EVER MADE IN HISTORY EVER FOREVER"
well the early games famously take liberties with the translations, while you're pulling the "later game translations are fanfiction" thing out of your ass, so your post was just stupid and made no sense.

>>3830651
the earlier games have slightly bad translations but ultimately you get the point and the characterization is mostly correct. ff7 8 and 9 are legitimately different games entirely.

>>3814172
>>3815671
Oh no, retarded faggots

>>3830931
>the earlier games have slightly bad translations but ultimately you get the point and the characterization is mostly correct
To be fair they're pretty simple narratively with little nuance

>>3814160
cute moment imo
i like 12
it's insane how much UK VAs mog american VAs. it's nothing inherent to americans per se, just the annoying losers who infested the industry over there.

>>3816757
i mean it was bad acting, but still. i really like the scuff from that era, especially since FF/KH had a real dreamlike feel to it all. it felt Lynchian. the older and less pretentious i get, the more i appreciate Nomura.

>>3829343
it's criminal what they did to 7

>>3831180
the majority of the VAs in 12 are american

>>3814155 (OP)
kino

>>3814155 (OP)
Nearly a 25 years later, it's still insane how many autistic retards this scene filtered.

>>3833376
*ignore the 'a' after 'Nearly'

>>3829343
7's translation was rough because it was very literal, but it was not inaccurate. Also, the fact you're not including the original FF6/3A or FF4/2A translations really undermines your credibility.

>>3833381
>but it was not inaccurate
yes
yes it was
it was absolute dogshit dude

>>3815671
I was going to disagree but maybe you're right

>>3829343
Tidus's Eng VA has versatile range.

>>3829343
>>3830931
FF9's translation is totally fine, the best of the PS1 Final Fantasys for sure.
7's is crap, but it at least has the excuse that the SNES ones had: it was done by one guy in like a month.

>>3838708
>FF9's translation is totally fine, the best of the PS1 Final Fantasys for sure.
ff9's translation is fucking rancid. you can take a side-by-side of almost any scene in the game and the dialogue will be pretty different. the game's overall message is muddied as fuck and the shit translation is also an enormous part of why people don't understand the point of the necron fight at all.

>>3838764
>you can take a side-by-side of almost any scene in the game and the dialogue will be pretty different.
That doesn't mean its bad.
> the game's overall message is muddied as fuck and the shit translation is also an enormous part of why people don't understand the point of the necron fight at all.
Most people don't understand them because most people are stupid and they don't care about the game's themes.

>>3838768
when the translator thinks they know better than the original creators, yes, it's bad. it's written in a way that flows well with plenty of flavor and as a result it reads better than a lot of its contemporaries, but it's still not a great translation.

>>3824638
Nostalgia on the DS basically had FFX's battle system.

I don't think FF7's translation is that bad
Yes, there are plenty of typos and weird errors. But the dialogue has a lot of personality and fits the tone of the game.
