I agree that flow edges it... I think that's why I will go with Cosmic :)  8-)
 
I just installed Bootleg with the Retranslation project(really the old mod in which I'm interested).  The problem, is I kept English Spelling, Canon Names, and Canon Items.  I'd like to do a complete retranslation, but not sure if I can reinstall the mod or not.  I have the Menu Overhaul with the Retranslation Installer.  Can I just run that with the options selected? Or will I need to uninstall Bootleg and reinstall?
 
I was just rereading through the first post, and I saw something which prompted a question.  If I understand correctly, you've retranslated everything up to the plot area of Junon.  After that, does all the writing revert back to the original release?
 
A lot of it does yes.  However, not all of it is linear.  Most of the highwind is done (although when I go through the game it will be repolished also), experts hall is done, wutai pagoda is done...

etc.
 
Have somebody ever realized the big bug in the storyline? No i don't mean the Phoenix feather<->Aeriths death bug, that could be easily handled by changing the death status to     unconsciousness (like in newer games),that means if someone goes down he's not dead but unconsciousness and Phoenix feather is cure this status. No, I mean Cloud! He is wearing all the time (1.st Class) Soldier uniform and nearly nobody in Shin-Ra is recognize him as such. He  has to pay entry to get in to Junon, he has to pay for using the boot and the worst of all: some stupid commander in Junon says to him he has to change his cloths.

By the way DLPB, I think changing Zack to Zax could be a wrong idea. There is another interpretation of his name. So the name Zack comes from the name Zachariah (Hebrew) and means
`Remembered by God`. On German sites I find a bit more detail `Remembered by Jahwe (or Jehovah)`. And that's what the jenova of Cloud is doing: she remembers Zack and gives Cloud his personalty. The shortform of Zachariah is Zach. I supposed Zack is a mix between Zach and Zax.
 
The Japanese is Zakkusu not Zakku.  There is no way Zack was intended. It is stone wall.  The closest is Zacks, Sachs and Zax, and in all likelihood, including the reference in  Last Order, Zax is intended.  Just like Jax is Jakkusu in Mortal Kombat.

As for Phoenix Tail/Down, the game in Japanese (and now in retranslation) does not say that a person you use it on has "died"  it says "out of action" which we call Knocked Out.  Aerith died.  Also, battle elements are not the same as story elements, otherwise being shot by a shot gun (Rufus) would have killed Cloud.

Common sense needs exercising.  The game makes reference to Zangan using a Cure spell on Tifa at one point and that it isn't working (because she is too badly injured).

There's usually a simpler explanation to these issues: plot ≠ gameplay.
 
Precisely.  A game play that obeyed physics and reality would be a very stupid and dull game.  Game play is rarely the plot or intended to be (like collecting balloons on a mountain).  You have to exercise judgement. Unfortunately most people don't seem to realise the distinction... and then you get Advent Children where the makers tried to make a story/film work as a game.   ;D

There were never a lot of members of Soldier to begin with, and their numbers had severely dwindled by the time FF7 takes place. I wouldn't put it past people to simply not recognize the uniform. Remember, the vast majority of Shinra's army had a different uniform, enough that even many Shinra employees might not have ever seen it.

...or the developers just got confused.
 
No i think the Soldier taskforce was implement in a very late developing stadium to highlight up Cloud and Sephiroth more.
 
Hi, I have installed the retranslation mod in Bootleg while checking the "canon names" box which i think is supposed to use the psx names like "Marlene" right? but when i 1st meet Barret's daughter she is called "Marin". Any idea of what may be going on?
Also if this project is not complete, does that mean that when I get to the parts of the game that have not yet been retranslated, the game will use the original psx text?
 
The former problem will be looked at for M006.  The other problem has been answered in this thread.
 
Hello, I have seen some errors, for example:

In the map "elm" (Kalm)
“The cannon's pointing north…
   You think the target could be… Sephiroth??”

It's correct to write double question mark in a conversation?

Other is the map blin67_2:

---TEXT058---
{CLOUD}
“{TIFA},help {AERIS}.
   I'll go get {BARRET}
   and the others.”

Ingame, I have seen that Barrett is with Red XIII, then "others", it's correct with one person or more person? Barrett is one person, Red XIII.

Greetings
 
Are you saying that since there is only 2 more in the group that it should really be "Get Barrett and Red XIII"?

As for the other, a double question mark can be used for emphasis.  Not sure it applies there though, I'd have to look.

Yes, that's right.

I mean, Tifa help to Aeris. Cloud help Barret and Red XIII.

I have understood "others" as "three persons", "Barret, Red XIII and other".
 
Prob best I just change that to "I'll get the others"

I will see what Luksy says about the japanese.  May be "go get barrett"
 
I was just curious of the lack of news was good news, or if real life bit you guys in the bum and you've gotten delayed? It's been quite a while since a post so I just wanted to check in!
