I'm not going to comment on fan translations of FFVI or Chrono Trigger (since I've only played them with the official translations), but I do think that over-literalness and unnatural turns of phrase plague anime fan subs, so it's something to watch out for. I've lived in England all my life and I can hardly recall any times I've heard someone say "it can't be helped" in the context it's usually heard in anime IRL, but this unusual expression is heard in fansubs all the time (presumably when the character says "shoganai"). That's just one example, but that kind of thing happens quite a lot. Sometimes it's better to go with the slightly less accurate translation if the more accurate one is something no-one would say.
inb4 someone tells me that my example is a pretty standard turn of phrase where they live... :roll:

Awwww...
Here.
Feel better?
^ This. It's the fucking bane of almost all fan made translations. For some reason hobbyists - many of them quite young, most likely - seem to think that for some bizarre reason more literal is better, nevermind that nobody would actually say anything like that, or that it disrupts the flow of text, or.... well, or many things.
I'm not even talking about mass naked child events, here.

Chrono Trigger's fan retranslation was meant for information. Making a patch out of it was an afterthought.
Some people apparently like the patch more than the original translation, but those are the minority.

Seifer's gone (again), so not likely.
I wonder what caused him to explode into a troll though. He was behaving himself, and all of a sudden he freaked out.

all i know is that he was going on about people baiting him.
which is bs because if you cant take the fact that someone doesn't like you then you're not going to be a very happy person.

Just read through the posts Xelane, that should give you a good enough idea of what happened. Seifer can't handle the truth.

he acted like this because of guitar_dudester91 posting on the FIRST page of the koral topic in unrelated. if he wouldn't have posted that, NONE of this would have happened. its sad that people cannot let go of the past and seifer knows his wrongs and he was ACTUALLY trying to make peace but I guess, whatever.

Hey, fuck you drfeelgud. The everyone on here was appeasing to fuckin sefier, and I wondered what he was doing back on here after being banned. Ignite? I think not.
Maybe you weren't around for the old battle, but you certainly didn't know much about how it started or what it was about.
