Hey Wyrdy. Did you play the Japanese version of FFIX?

Cos I heard that Necron actually gets a little background in it.

Oooo, I just realized no ones asked for Ted Woosley's help at translating Origin!

(They might not have been 100% accurate translations, but honestly what he did to the games he translated was always rather enjoyable.)

Nope. American version only. I can't imagine they would've removed any background info on the final boss from the American release, though. Wouldn't make much sense for them to do so, and it also wouldn't be in keeping with Square's general trend toward top-notch translations at that point in time.

If you think FF9 got a "top-notch" translation, you'd be heavily wrong. There is a great deal that actually did get lost in the translation, Necron being among the largest offenders. What they're ACTUALLY doing is referencing FF3's Cloud Of Darkness. That was their intent.

[Rhyanna]

Well FF9 was just a game of references to previous Final Fantasies... which always makes me feel torn.

I liked those games, but I don't like their frankenstein decendent.

[Rhyanna]

FF9 even had a matrix timestop moment in the end x.x

and FF8 had one other good thing . . .

Triple Triad!

Hell, it's better than the shitty minigame in FF9. >.>

[Rhyanna]

I think the ending would have been better if Rinoa had been there, holding a deck of cards.
