The most annoying fandom assumptions that make no sense and won't die.

[Alex]

Isn't there a fan ficition about that?

 

[Dashell]

That would make an awesome game. Bring all the FF worlds together to fight for one cause. And all the bad guys would be fighting for total chaos or something. You could like play as the main character from each game, or even as the bad guys. Yeah I wish Square would do something like ... oh wait

I was getting ready to say that idea is fucking stupid until Dissidia came to mind and how fun it actually is

whoops

 

[Dashell]

Sorry if this was one said before but I hate it when people say that Cloud and Tifa didn't heal themselves in the church in ACC. Isn't there an official source that says they DID heal by themselves? why is it so hard to fathom?

EDIT:
OH I forgot, I hate it when people thought Reno was really saying "yo" at the end of each sentence... that doesn't come up much though.

It's the Reunion Files, page 82.

In my opinion, that's a legitimate translation for what he was doing. He was adding emphasis, after all.

Honestly, I wish they'd put it in the official localizations.

 

[Dashell]

Well the yo came from some fan subtitles. Doesn't he say "de-zuto"?

 

[Tetsujin]

Honestly? It's stupid. No one talks like that. It's a good example of a bad fan translation (because it's too literal).

You mean no one talks like that, in english.

You'd have to find some suitable, eccentric English equivalent to some guy punctuating everything he says with the "yo" modifier. It's like how Naruto in the Japanese anime ends everything he says with "dattebyo" which doesn't really mean anything either. So they translated as him saying "Believe it" as emphasis to whatever he said.

I agree that in the case of Reno, it really doesn't offer anything and is best omitted. But I'm sure if someone wanted to they could've found some other eccentric or oddball thing to end his sentences with.

It's like how Rajin would always end his sentences with "desu ne" in FFVIII, and they translated it with its proper equivalent in english.."Ya know?"

 

[Strangelove]

Which is what people are meant to be writing in, so its conventions should be followed instead

'~teba' does mean something (used to show annoyance at the other person not understanding how you feel/not listening, or to show the topic of conversation critically or with affection). It's just used so much in that case that it stops really meaning anything

It's like how Rajin would always end his sentences with "desu ne" in FFVIII, and they translated it with its proper equivalent in english.."Ya know?"

Raijin said "~da mon yo".

But I don't know, maybe Rajin said something different

 

[Makoeyes987]

Oh damn you hito, you know who I meant.

And I thought it was, "desu ne" but okay. I stand corrected.

 

[Alessa Gillespie]

It's sort of hard to translate some Japanese stuff, like the fact Fuujin always spoke in short, polite sentences. It translated as her yelling shit like she was deaf, which was just weird as fuck.

 

[Makoeyes987]

I much prefer Fujin yelling like an enraged robot, personally

 

[Alessa Gillespie]

see, when I read the lines in FFVIII, I was like 'holy shit, is she supposed to be a vaguely offensive deaf person? On the bright side, at least she doesn't keep saying 'yanno?'.'

 

[Makoeyes987]

It just added to Fujin's charm for me

And it made the moment where she tried to speak reason to Seifer in the Lunatic Pandora, in a clear, normal, and kind manner of speech, all the more memorable. That was one of the best moments in the game for me.

Gonna be honest, I never got past the first disk, cause I hated the characters so much.

So very much.

If I met them in real life, I would gut them all and make them each eat each other's intestines.

But anyways, I'm pretty tired of people assuming that the Turks/Rufus deserve to be forgiven because...IDK? They're attractive? They did horrible things, gaiz, even if it wasn't in AC.

 

[Makoeyes987]

Wow, there goes my hope at a nice FFVIII discussion

Well, to be honest, everyone in FFVII has blood on their hands. To try and pin guilt on Shinra, while not holding any accountability to the heroes for their actions, would be a bit hypocritical. In the end they both had to make peace and look towards working towards the greater good of the planet, when Sephiroth came into the picture.

 

[Max Payne]

There's a difference between having blood on your hands, and having the blood of entire nations and the planet on your hands.

Saying it'd be hypocritical is a stretch since one side clearly fucked up much more on a much wider scale. They're obviously a lot more in the wrong and definitely more to blame.


In other words, the crimes of Shinra and the Turks are far more severe and grandiose.

Now now, Dac. What's more important. Rebuilding the planet, and stopping the impending menace of Sephiroth...or trying to point fingers?

What'd be the point in saddling all the remnants of Shinra with blame and crap? They got torn a new asshole by WEAPON, Sephiroth, Meteor, and all the other shit brought down by the planet. Rufus and the others know they were the cause. What more can be done?

And yet Rufus STILL wanted to rebuild Shinra in AC/C, so I guess one of them still hasn't learned their lesson.

 

[Max Payne]

Shinra is all ready saddled with the blame if you didn't notice. Rufus himself said so.

I'm just saying clearly they were the most accountable for the biggest tragedies in their planets history.

 

[Makoeyes987]

Only Reno said that, and that was his own personal goal. Shinra's not coming back. At least not in any facsimile that it was before.

Oh, well I agree. Yeah, they are more accountable. I was just expressing why Cloud and the others aren't holding a grudge and shit at this point.

 

[Max Payne]

They're not holding a grudge because THEY WON. They curbstomped Shinra, and it's not like they're buddy buddy with them.

 

[Alessa Gillespie]

I think I was saying it more as the fact they aren't gonna be all 'buddy-buddy' anytime soon, cause I see shit of Cloud and Reno yukking it up while Rude helps Tifa cook in fanfics all the time with no OOC tag. Cause that just isn't realistic for the feelings between the two groups. :\

 

[Max Payne]

Yeah they're not going to be holding Sunday brunch after what they did to Sector 7 and Biggs Wedge and Jessie.

And then the fans threw royal bitch fit after royal bitch fit until Viz stopped doing it. I remember
