No but we've taken stuff from there before, I don't know why this wouldn't count
Yes. It's not about using one's brain, it's about how many quotes one can C&P. It's not fun anymore. People are so intellectually dishonest. Anyone who's played the game knows Cloud wasn't wooing Aerith in the park or anywhere else. Where's the intent?Mako said:has the LTD really become so pedantic?
Yet when Nomura says Cloud is happy with Tifa, he's a liarOh, I wasn't suggesting it doesn't count. I'm just amused at how Nomura has been elevated to God. "Nomura said this," "Nomura said that," "Nomura wouldn't end the LTD because it would bring about the Apocalypse," "I saw Nomura in my oatmeal this morning," etc.
Again someone said it was in there, and the majority didn't really believe her and it turns out it was. That's really all this is about.
I still call bullshit.
If that's a date, then any female alone with a male small-talking should be considered a date. And in that case, Cloud and Tifa have had several dates.
I said:If the Complete Guide calls it a date, then we'll have to refer to it as one -- but I'd like to point out that neither of the characters involved seemed to think of it as one.
Cloud wouldn't have thought of it as one (he'd intended to leave Aerith at her house), Aerith didn't seem to think of it as one (she spoke of their arranged date later as though it hadn't happened yet), they weren't hanging out for the purpose of a date (Aerith was taking Cloud to Sector 7), and they didn't even stop at the playground for the purpose of a date (Aerith asked if they could take a break).
If simply hanging out and learning a bit about one another constitutes a date, then what does one make of the Lifestream sequence in Mideel and the conversation between Cloud and Tifa below the Highwind?
Both of those certainly would fit the criteria if taking a break at a playground does.
Because I'm sure there's at least one rabid pinker who actually believes there is a vast, Cloti conspiracy...
While we were doing translations for the CC Complete Guide back on ACF, we were only doing the actual keywords from that section that interested us, or would yield some good, storyline info on the game. None of the translators or I thought there was anything significant to the whole "Date in the Park" one, and tbh, I still feel that way. Just sounds like something a LT minded person would go googly eyed over. We never intended to translate every single word or phrase, because that would be a shit-ton of work to do, for things that are mostly already known.
And now the person who started this rumor can sit back and laugh at everyone for jumping through hoops to disprove something that everyone knew wasn't true all along.
In any case, good work, hito.
In more relevant news, hitoshura has translated more of the Crisis Core Complete Guide now.
This is going to be our next ongoing translation project so yeah, be sure to give him thanks for gettin' back in the groove and all. Since the keywords are so short, and there are so many, it'll be a great ongoing set of translations to provide, so yeah
