Don't worry, I take this project seriously and I won't change things like this for the sake of it :) I did actually ask both translators if it was definitely "Goddess". We are trying to keep the feel of the original where we can, whilst correcting errors.

The outcome will be different but it should be a vast improvement.

That will probably help the Japanese speakers around here.

Okay, I looked into this.

Those of you who have played Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty should be familiar with the character named Fortune, whom Solid Snake refers to as "Lady Luck" in one scene. In the Japanese script, this was written thus: 幸運の女神 (kouun no megami). This literally means "Goddess of Good Luck"/"Goddess of Good Fortune," and is considered equivalent to the term "Lady Luck."

This differs from what Cid says in FFVII, which was 運命の女神 (unmei no megami), meaning "Goddess of Fate"/"Goddess of Destiny," as we've discussed. As well, as Dan's link shows, "unmei no megami" is the term used in Japanese to refer to beings like the Fates of Greek mythology.

Though "unmei" and "kouun" do share a kanji, they are not the same term. If Cid had used "kouun," I would definitely say keep "Lady Luck" -- and it may well be that this is what Nojima meant to reference when he wrote it. If Dan is more concerned with preserving the letter of the text, regardless of what was probably intended, then he should use "Goddess of Fate."

Personally, given Cid's obvious fighter pilot inspirations and the presence of Lady Luck on the side of the Highwind, I would say Nojima probably meant "kouun" and just blundered it. I would use "Lady Luck," but that's just me.

The problem with going with lady luck is that we would be going against what the Japanese says and hoping that they made a mistake. In such circumstances where it isn't clear that they did or what they meant, I am forced to go with what is written. :) I am not sure it is clear he is on about that lady on the ship either?

If he isn't referencing the Highwind, it would be very, very weird that they decided to focus on the portrait of the lady on the Highwind just after the Highwind crashes in...when he's asking a lady (be it Lady Luck or a goddess of fate) not to fail him. It's gotta be the Highwind's image he's talking about.

Why does it? people ask for divine intervention all the time in times of crisis and ask figuratively for luck not to fail them.

I think it is very unlikely that he is referring to an image on the Highwind, and that image is nowhere to be seen at the time of the phrase. People say "Please don't fail me now!" all the time. It is pure coincidence that there happens to be a female on the ship. She certainly doesn't look like any fortune helper to me (nor a "lady or a "goddess"), more just a semi naked woman who is the mascot.

It is like me saying "Oh please, lord, don't fail me now" and then suddenly concluding that because a guy on a bike is roaming down the street that I was referring to him :P

...Because the video focuses right on the lady's image when the Highwind comes in, tying her picture to his plea. Sure, it's not to be seen when he actually says it, but it's seen when the answer comes. (Besides, it's not like we see an actual goddess or even HEAR of one in the original game, so if you argue it can't be the image/the Highwind because we don't see it right then, why would it be a goddess that's never seen at all?)

He asks -> Highwind answers with help, viewed from the side that the lady is on -> screenshot of nothing BUT the lady on the Highwind. They are supposed to be connected.

Simply showing the audience that the Highwind has fallen down to their location, that is the purpose of that scene. It has nothing to do with the phrase before. It is showing that Lady Luck did fail him. That was all. The mascot was on the highwind long before this scene and it is a huge jump to think Cid would ask a mascot for help.

The highwind certainly doesn't answer with help, the location is falling apart. OK, sure, maybe "lady luck" did help out with the highwind being there but that doesn't mean the mascot is "Goddess of Fate". If that's the case you can make meaning from anything!

Like I said, I can say "lord help me" and then a biker throws me out of the way of a train! Do I suggest that the biker is God? Cid does not even know that the highwind is going to fall down from its location far above their present location. Why would he ask the mascot for help? he is asking for divine intervention the same way anyone does in a time of peril. The highwind is far far above him when he asks for help and the ground has not started shaking yet.

He is replying to the previous statement.

They drew specific attention to the woman's image. Not just the Highwind, the woman herself. If it has nothing to do with the phrase about a lady, that's rather silly.

The woman's image makes clear in a very short time, that this is the Highwind. It is also a cool way of doing it in the scene. To go from asking for help in luck to suggesting that a scene showing a woman is the "goddess/lady" in question is a leap of imagination.

It could be, it might not. I do know that I would never ask a mascot for help, I would be praying to a goddess.

Ariadne/tres/et al :P

Here is my problem. "Lady luck" sounds like something Cid would say but at the same time is a localisation which does not portray what the designers wrote.

I need to know, as a Japanese reader, does the JAPANESE seem out of place for Cid? How does the phrase FEEL to a Japanese person. If, it feels out of place even in the Japanese game, then it is acceptable to leave the "Goddess of fate" in the game as it was intended.

If on the other hand, it reads and feels much better in Japanese and does not alter the character of Cid, then it can be changed to Lady Luck.

Lady Luck and the Goddess of Fate are the same concept. Lady Luck, however, represents the concept easier to western readers.

I am leaning to Lady Luck actually, and most people seem to agree. I don't like diverting too much because that would defeat the purpose and in the end I would end up making the mistakes the original team did.

However, from what I am reading and being told, it isn't the wording which is important in this sentence but simply the idea of Luck not deserting him, rather than asking a real Goddess for help.

In that case, there is no issue here.

Certainly Cid wasn't making a prayer if that's what you're wondering. The goddess in his line is as literal to the situation as the figure in the idiom "It ain't over 'til the fat lady sings" -- there's not a literal lady who's going to come out and sing when the battle is won.

Well, the localization was performed by Sony of Japan, so that really says it all right there. :monster:

Ryu said:

I think that's slightly debatable. If referring to Tyche (Greek name)/Fortuna (Roman name), then, yes, you could make that case. Luck/fate/destiny are all the same thing in that context. One can have bad luck, after all, and one's fate may be ugly.

Now that I've dug further, I've even seen references in Japanese to Fortuna as Lady Luck (with this term in English), while also referring to her with the "unmei no" version. I'd certainly agree that it's clear that Cid meant "Lady Luck" here.

However, where I would make the argument that they're not always equivalent is that the concept of "Lady Luck" as she's treated in the West is associated with good fortune. So while "unmei no megami" could certainly qualify as meaning "Lady Luck," "kooun no megami" will always imply good fortune -- and it's probably for this reason that it's the preferred method of referring to Lady Luck in Japan. It's rather specific, whereas "unmei" isn't necessarily.

As a side note concerning the debate between Dan and minimosey above, I would have to say the directing of the scene in the crater is absolutely intended to make an association between Cid speaking of Lady Luck and the image on the Highwind. Call it an ironic association if one must, but to assume anything less is to assume complete incompetence in the direction of the scene.

Whatever competence problems Kitase may have, he does understand the language of film.

Lady Luck, by the way, is usually depicted as a redhead, as on the Highwind.

The "O Fortuna" thing is a cute idea, but I doubt it somehow.

But, yes, the concept of Lady Luck is derived from Fortuna/Tyche, so we were always discussing a goddess. I thought you knew that or I'd have pointed it out sooner. My bad.

Well, Lady Luck tends to be thought of as positive luck, but not universally. There's the old Noir 'Lady Luck had dealt me a bad card' as an example. Also, guys and dolls has the song about Lady luck not always being ladylike.

You're right, we tend to associate Lady Luck with good luck just as we tend to associate 'fortune' with 'good fortune' as the default. But it's not the sole aspect.

Yeah I actually thought that Lady Luck was just some nice phrase we westerners used with no connotations to a Goddess. My fault really for being lazy :) In any case, Lady Luck stands :)

That was something else, someone told me that Seto might actually be "Set" same kana and a mythology >

http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%82%BB%E3%83%88

I certainly wouldn't use Set, if I knew for sure it would have to be "Seth", I guess this is one of those things which we will never know and so have to leave as original?

Then again, that looks bogus when you consider Seto is a common name given to fictional characters:

I debated whether to return to this forum, given I cannot abide a lot of the people here. But end user input is important and that there is some intelligent life here, I think it is worthwhile. I talked it over with Glenn, and email plainly isn't working out that well... I don't like email either. A place like this is much nicer to debate the finer points on. So, whilst I won't be venturing out to any of the "offtopic" threads, I will be here for discussions on PC mods, and retranslation project, which is now around 33% complete. The first post will be updated like at Qhimms to show the full progress.

I welcome any suggestions and constructive debate. I do however place greater emphasis on Japanese speakers, especially my own translator. They come before all else.

The project has been going quite well. Luksy, my translator, has also programmed 1 universal tool to change any text in the game, be it world map, items, field dialogue, battle dialogue, battle names.... With this tool (touphScript) it is now possible to easily edit the game with a set of ordinary text files which are decoded and encoded in seconds.

The problems I have encountered so far are making the game dialogue flow naturally (which was expected and I am not doing too badly at), and technical aspects to the story and how the Japanese was to be interpreted (this is the main reason I am back here).

The translation will need a once over at the end for sure, and I am working through the game at the same time as we localise since context changes a few minor details. The game is also being sent to my proof checker to ensure grammar and spelling mistakes are weeded out. Don't be surprised to see a few of those until this is finished.

I will be placing up some before and after examples here soon.

Finally, I am still debating whether to add in installer option to allow the original canon people names, place names, and series canon item names. This would go some way to being a compromise but at the same time I don't like the extra work. I am already adding an option for series canon item names, and so far this seems to be around 3? Hi-Potion, Megalixir and Phoenix Down, as opposed to High Potion, Last Elixir and Phoenix Tail. I didn't see anymore that would be considered series canon (as in appears in all modern FF titles). If you click the link here you can look through the list and see if any others need adding.

“From space even a huge

{CLOUD}

    That's what I want you to understand.”{NEW}
“To save the planet…
    for the future of the planet…
    Sure,that's all obvious.”{NEW}
“But is that
    all there is to it?”
------------------------------
{CLOUD}
“For me,
    this is a personal battle.”{NEW}
“To defeat Sephiroth.
    To lay my past to rest.”{NEW}
“Saving the planet just
    happens to be a part of that.”
------------------------------
{CLOUD}
“I've been thinking.”

{CLOUD}
“We're all fighting for ourselves.”{NEW}
“For ourselves…
    and that someone…something…
    Whatever it is,that's important to us.”{NEW}

    to fight for the planet.”
------------------------------
{BARRET}
“It's true…”{NEW}
“Saving the planet
    sounds pretty cool.”{NEW}

    was bombin' a Mako Reactor…”{NEW}

    a really shitty way to do things.”{NEW}
“I made a lot of friends
    and innocent people suffer…”
------------------------------
{BARRET}
“…At first,
    it was revenge against Shin-Ra.
    They took my hometown from me.”{NEW}

“Yeah.
    I'm fightin' for Marin.”{NEW}
“For Marin…
    For Marin's future…”{NEW}

    I guess I'm doin' all this for her sake…”

    Make sure that's how you feel.”

{CLOUD}
“All of you,leave the ship and

    about your motivations.”{NEW}
“Come back here when
    you've thought it through.”
------------------------------
{CID}
“Maybe none of
    us'll come back.”{NEW}
“Meteor's gonna kill us all anyway.
    Let's just forget any useless strugglin'!?”
------------------------------
{CLOUD}
“I know the reason I'm fighting.”{NEW}
“It's to save the planet.”{NEW}
“But within that,
    there's something personal…
    A very personal feeling.”{NEW}
“And…
    What about all of you?”{NEW}
“I want you to find that special
    something within yourselves.”{NEW}
“If you can't,
    there's nothing to do about it.
    You can't fight without a reason,right?
    So if you don't come back… I'll understand.”
------------------------------
{CLOUD}
“What are you going to do,{TIFA}?”
------------------------------
{TIFA}
“Did you forget?”{NEW}
“I'm… all alone.
    I don't have anywhere to go.”

{TIFA}
“{CLOUD},
    let's do our best!”

“You ought to rest a bit…
    Don't overdo it.”
------------------------------
{TIFA}
“{CLOUD}…
    what should I do…
    I have to know.”
------------------------------
{TIFA}
“Can Bugenhagen…
    tell us anything?”
------------------------------
{TIFA}
“{AERIS}…
    I wonder how she felt…
    on the way to that altar…?”
------------------------------
{CLOUD}
“I'm sure she was ready to
    lay down her life for the planet…”
------------------------------
{TIFA}
“Really? I wonder?
    I don't think it was like that.”{NEW}
“I suspect she never
    even thought about dieing,
    I think she intended to come back.”
------------------------------
“{AERIS}
    always talked that way.
    Next,after this,later…”{NEW}
“She talked about
    tomorrow more than any of us…”
------------------------------
{TIFA}
“She never said anything,
    but she must've led a rough life…”{NEW}
“I think {AERIS}
    looked forward to 'tomorrow'… and 
    'the future',even more than most…”{NEW}
“…She must've had many,
    many dreams and ambitions…”

{TIFA}
“{CLOUD}…”

{TIFA}
“Love it or hate it…”{NEW}
“We can't seem to
    stay away from Midgar.”
------------------------------
{TIFA}
“It's finally time for the
    showdown with Sephiroth.”{NEW}
“I wonder what's
    going on inside that crater.{NEW}
“Is Sephiroth just sitting
    there waiting for Meteor…?”
------------------------------
{TIFA}
“We'll be fine.”{NEW}
“You're here…
    we're all together.”{NEW}
“We… we can do anything,
    Just look at how far we've come.”

{TIFA}
“Hey,{CLOUD}…
    Tell me ‘It's all right’?”{NEW}
{CHOICE}Say it cool
{CHOICE}Say it normally
{CHOICE}Don't say it
------------------------------
{CLOUD}
“It's all right,{TIFA}.”

{CLOUD}
“…It's all right.”

{BARRET}
“Just how do those boneheads
    Shin-Ra figure they'll beat
    Meteor usin' the Huge Materia?”
------------------------------
{BARRET}
“It's kinda sad,ya know…”
------------------------------
{BARRET}
“That old fella,Bugenhagen…
    I didn't really get him at all.”{NEW}
“I used to think he was a naturalist,
    but he lived surrounded by machines.”
------------------------------
{BARRET}
“{AERIS}… well,she died.”{NEW}
“Does she… travel the planet
    now as spiritual energy?”{NEW}
“Well even if she does,
    I guess we'll never see her again…”
------------------------------
{BARRET}
“Whacha gonna do,{CLOUD}?
    Got any good ideas?”
------------------------------
{BARRET}
“That Weapon…
    so damn massive…”{NEW}
“Don't matter how big Midgar is,
    it's nothin' compared to that thing.”

{BARRET}
“In the beginning,
    it was just flyers.”{NEW}
“When Avalanche was
    startin' out,I mean.”{NEW}
“And now look at us…
    goin' up against Sephiroth?”{NEW}
“Feels like we've
    come a long way.”
------------------------------
{BARRET}
“Comin' here,goin' there…
    Man,i've been pushed around.”{NEW}
“But I got a debt

    A debt I can never repay…”

{RED XIII}
“Shin-Ra only cares

“{AERIS} used to pat me

“Being caught and experimented
    on by Hojo was awful…”{NEW}

{RED XIII}

So onto the questions I suppose. You may need the full japanese text found here:


onna_2
“Hmph!!
Listen,not that you care,
but you sure are annoying.
「フン……!!
 あなた、どうでもいいけど
 人を怒らせる才能あるかもよ」
Is this correct?



itmin1
“True,I'm a beautiful maid,
but I also buy and sell
accessories on the side.”{NEW}
“You'll never be ashamed wearing these…
only goods of the finest quality here.
So,how about buying somethin'?”
「あたしゃ美人のメイドだけどね
 ないしょくで、アクセサリーの
 売り買いもしてるのさ」{NEW}
「どこ出したってはずかしくない
 極上の品ばっかだよ。
 どうだい、ひとつ?」

Whole passage up for consideration. Maid? Correct? and "you'll never be ashamed of wearing these" in particular.


mrkt3

Multiple passages, problem.

“What the hell!!?
Hey,you!! This ain't no show!!
I'm a little busy right now!!”{NEW}
“I feel it comin' on hard.
I reckon there's gonna be a fight!!”
「あんだよ!! てめー!!
 みせもんじゃねえぞ!!
 オレは、いまいそがしいんだよ!!」{NEW}
「ビンビンに感じてんだよ!!
 戦いの予感ってやつをよ!!」

Definite innuendo to erection but he doesn't seem to be doing anything, is he just telling you to mind your own business?... and there are no signs of a fight? Passage makes no sense as is.
These scenes are outside Honeybee Manor.

“Urrgh… this ain't gonna happen…
I can't go any further.”{NEW}
“Not with my rank and salary.
There's definitely a mismatch there.”
「くっ~~ どうしてもダメ……
 ここから先に進めないです」{NEW}
「ボクのレベルと給料じゃたりんです。
 身分がちがいすぎるです」

Soldier outside Manor.. He seems to have some issue entering, probably financial but it has been suggested that he may want to have affair and that is what is stopping him? Seems to me that it is just purely financial and that he is saying his salary should be better considering his rank?

“Heh,you're a fast one.
{TIFA}'s our latest sexy face.”{NEW}
「おっ、あなた、聞き耳はやいねえ。
 {TIFA}ちゃんは
 ムチムチの新人さんだよ」{NEW}

I said sexy face because I couldn't think of anything better with localisation. Any ideas?

 わたしの夫は戦地に行ってた。
 ウータイという遠い国さ」

Japanese says country? I thought Wutai was just a village or?

“If it were just me…

「チッ……!
 すっかりかこまれてやがる」{NEW}
「オレひとりならともかく
 このメンツじゃ……」

"reputation to keep" originally something like "If it were just me, then...", what does he mean? That on his own he would just kill everyone? I don't quite get what he has in mind? I will localise this better when I know what he means.

============

lastly Bugenhagen calls the cry from space/his observatory a "Scream of a Star" does he mean star or planet or simply heavenly body? So far we have localised this to "Star Scream"

I'll have to take a look at the rest of them later, but I'm positie your "star scream" is a robot that transforms into a badass jet is the cries of the planet.

I am thinking it may be wise to give it a name, like "Planet Cry" , rather than an explanation "Cries of the planet" ?

I dunno, seems a little more scientific and Bugenhagen-like. Need your opinion on that too :p Maybe that sounds a little off though.

I find it a little odd that Japanese would use the same kanji for planet and star... surely that is confusing when talking about space, no?

appealing, attractive, desirable, enticing, erotic, fleshly, luxurious, pleasing, salacioussensuous, sexy

For voluptuous, which is what he said.... just doesn't go well in english sentence :P Maybe sexy face works?
