The 2001 DeJap trans is rather outdated now. The 2007 Gemini trans is much better. But the one you really want is the 2012 Phantasian Productions translation:

Definitely what Exhuminator said. It also helps that the battle system in the PSX version is superior.

If memory serves, too, there were some... interesting changes in the DeJap version. Something about "f***s like a tiger" or something that is really out of place.

Here's a pic* showing three different translations and how they interpreted that scene:

Maybe a forum member fluent in Japanese can say which translation is most accurate.

The f-like a tiger thing though is hilarious. Plus I'm 19 hours in...not doing those 19 again just to change patches. It's just interesting to see some of this in there....

I'm a little confused. I find all of it to terrible, whether Japanese or English, but each of the Japanese screens has different text. I'm not sure if that was intended. Also, I don't know anything about the context.

Just roughly: In the first screen, the character is saying that he likes Mint's primp and proper disposition, but he can't ignore Arche, either; In the second, he essentially says that Arche's lively nature makes her hard to ignore; In the third, he says something to the effect of Arche having a particular brand of charm that is hard to ignore. I would expect this to be useless banter between two idiots debating who is hotter, but otherwise, I don't sense the innuendo that those translations seem to be trying to convey. Gun to my head, I guess I might say the middle one appears to be the least disingenuous. However, if the context were different from what I'm assuming, I could see him mulling over which one he shouldn't toss overboard.

Save games should be congruous regardless of patch.

Very interesting interpretations that you provided, thanks for the input. I can see the angle the translators were going for more clearly now. However, the "fucks like a tiger" thing just comes across as crass creative license, even after all these years. :lol:

Agreed. It's why I don't understand why Xbox One Backwards Compat isn't more of a thing for the average buyer. Or at least it doesn't seem like it's really a factor.
Because the average buyer sold off their 360 games to Gamestop a year or two ago.
