Except the context makes it pretty clear that Cloud has no clue that he's talking to himself. In fact, he asks "who are you?" before he's opened his eyes, and before Aerith speaks.
 
He does know he is talking to someone who is trying to help him though.,  The lit. is "Let's give it a try".  It doesn't have to be that let's" means "the 2 of us"  it can be used just for 1 person talking to himself with another in the room.  He is being urged to see if he can move.

oh yeah, should note {CLOUD}
“……Let's give it a shot.”

edit:

I changed the line to "I'll give it a shot", but I do worry sometimes about being too obviously correct to every sentence.  People don't talk perfectly all the time.  In this case though perhaps clarity is more important.

"Let's give it a try." or "Let's give it a shot." makes sense to me, although "I'll give it a shot." is ok I suppose.
 
yeah I think at end of the day sometimes, it is possible to over analyze it.  I do it too.. but people don;t always speak 100% perfect.  In his case though I don't see an issue clarifying it still further because it is a very complicated part of the game if you don't understand the story.
 
I think I may place this ad back in.

62 maps done, 499 to go.

These parts are used but you have to go to the TV at the right times.  Except the tyre one, which can never be seen thanks to mistake with the game progress var given at this point.  I will correct this.  Thanks Shademp.

Almost ready now for M005 and up to wallmarket.  I will finish this off and await latest ts stable.  Then release it.

A few small things that need to be sorted first.
 
{CHOICE}You're a slum drunk
Click to expand...
I think the original "the" works better than "a".  "Slum drunk" is like "town drunk", right?  As in, one specific and notorious person.

Also see multiple commas without spaces after them; assume that'll be changed in the final?

Other'n that not noticing anything I'd change.  So far so good.
 
The commas are separated by the menu overhaul from values placed in window.bin.  Like : the space is automatically added :)  so don't worry.  Any commas that do have a space will be corrected by a text parser at the end.

And yeah, maybe "the" is correct in this case since he is being specific. 

At the end I go through it one more time, and Covarr also goes through it and gives any recommendations so this isn't 100% final.  Still, with people like you too it makes it all the better.

I am pretty happy with the job so far.

I have finished reviewing recommendations and information on this thread.  The following are changed:

Bottoms Well > Bottom Swell [Ragnarok]

Bajighandi > Basigandhi [Gemini]

Hairpin > Kanzashi  [Ragnarok]

Ogrenyx > Ogrenix [dlpb/Ragnarok]

Pasahna Greens > Pashana Greens [Ragnarok]

Cappa Wire > Kyappa Wire [Luksy]

Sciessor Scissor > Schezar Scissor [Luksy]

Reigen Greens > Miracle Greens [Ragnarok]

Nolthpol > Knoll's Pol [Ragnarok/dlpb]


I have also changed Yuffie's "Lightning Speed" to something sounding a little better "Flash Lightning"

Ragnarok may also have been right about Semzealot.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semaan  and Simon the Zealot

ゼムゼレット
zemuzeretto 

Semzealot.  I will go with this unless there is clear evidence to the contrary.  I am not confident of it...  but I am less confident of Zemzelett

I am pleased how this part went, both translation and localisation.  The thing to remember is that cloud's inner self is talking to him about the time he fell off the Nibl bridge. 

Compare the 2 scenes

Hello there!

I’m not a native speaker, so I’m not really sure if I’m right with this, but that double question in the translation sounds really weird: “Do you think can you get up?”. Is this form alright?

Keep it up! I’m looking forward for the first release!
 
Well spotted...  An error by me :)  Hence why the proof checker, Covarr, is needed at the end  8-)
 
You didn't send me this scene yet, did you? I'd really hate to think I could've overlooked something like this. :/
 
No, you haven't had any of these yet.  Reason is I haven't decided to finalise any of em yet...  so it is tricky for me to send things which may again be altered... still, they are like... mostly done.  I guess the changes made now will be small.

I have no idea how I missed that tbh....   possibly when editing line by line and having to go back delete 1 word here and there to make it flow right.  Meh it happens.

edit, yeah I know where that went wrong.  I didn't like the sentence "Do you think you can get up?"  so I changed it but forgot to check over it.  Now it is {GRAY}What about this time?
Think you can get up?{GRAY}

------------------------------
{GRAY}What about this time?
Think you can get up?{GRAY}
------------------------------
{CLOUD}
“……back then?
   ……this time?”

{GRAY}Worry about your body for now.{GRAY}

Translation has picked up speed and I am almost ready to release M005...  so might be soon now :)  Roughly 1/5 of the game is now localised.

The game dialogue is now at the one quarter mark.  :)  25% done.
378 of 706 maps done.  See first post.

It will need a run through from me, and proof checking, but it is going to plan.  I will release it with next menu update which should be within 1 week.
