an FFT retranslation topic I'm not a part of? let me get in on this
the thing about why FFT PSP is bad is because it's made up. that's not how the game was written. yeah FFT vanilla is poorly translated but the meaning is the same. FFT PSP was just made up stuff that made the game harder to read. FFT PSP retranslation is an invented work by the translator that in barely conveys what the original text was saying.
another positive thing about the old translation is that it's hilarious. some of the mistranslations are so awful or so inappropriate, they make me smile every time.
