NISA Apologizes for AT2 Translation

[Michi Mii]

I do wonder what 'voice acting being fixed' means in this context. They can't put all the Japanese voices in unless they either drop some/all the English voices or make the disc dual-layer. (Even with the space savings from not including some redundant files.) They're unlikely to have recorded more English voices. So... what's being fixed?

Wasn't it found that there was a lot of unused space on the NISA version of the game disc? Even if they can't put all of the Japanese voices back in, I'm guessing that they could have re-inserted a good portion of them with the ~200 MB of free space they had left, if I'm correctly recalling the amount of space that was left. And didn't someone who tried listening to all the audio files on the disc (I don't remember who) point out that there were a lot of completely silent files and repetitions? Those could have been dropped to make room.

Yeah I recall hearing those files and got pissed. Also there are actually voice-overs in some scenes that can't be played during in-game

As for me, I fixed this problem by downloading the undubbed version(meaning the english voice was totally cut off, but the translation is still english) from the torrent~degozaru. Took me more than 1 month for the download to finish~degozaru. Playing it with full japanese voice(for almost every scene!!!) does make the game more exciting and thrilling as the emotions in the voice makes the story more epic~degozaru.

^_^ Honestly, I don't mind the lack of voices. c_c; Is it odd that I read the dialouge out loud while doing different voices for the characters as if reading from a script..?

~~Moo~~

It's already too late to give them sarcasm though.

Shame I wanted to give a sarcasm bomb to them

Shame I wanted to give a sarcasm bomb to them

I want too. Preferably using Hymmnos, which they happen to butchered senselessly.

Do they even realise Hymmnos is an actual language, not just gibberish?

[Utsuho Lazy]

I doubt so... Throughout all their official talks and such, they never mentioned once about Hymmnos. That pretty much means they barely know anything about the language, if any at all.

They probably don't consider it important, or had the mind set that if anyone wanted to know what was being said, they'd look it up online.

I mean, I played FFX several times, and so have my friends, and none of us are fluent in Al Bhed. :p


No matter how oh so damn awesome Hymmnos is, the casual gamer isn't going to spend days or more on end LEARNING it. Thus to most people I'm sure playing the game is like

Character: blah blah blah!
Character 2: *insert lines of hymmnos here!"
PlayerA: *keeps playing!"
PlayerB: Huh, I wonder what that meant, oh well, I'll google it later.
PlayerC: akjoikwjio! I MUST LEARN THIS LANGUAGE!! *STUDIES!* OMG! They ruined it by changing Waath to Worth! >_< Damn you NISA! *shakesfistat* Daaaaaaaaaamn youuuu!!

I'm that type of player >_>''

I recall someone complaining that the Hymns aren't translated in English, rofl.

[Kensou77]

i want to shove in NISA's face their preview interview with RPGamer and The-O.... =.=.... i really want to do that...


"look forward to the game!!"

"we had fun with the lines!!"

[Rarutos]

I mean, I played FFX several times, and so have my friends, and none of us are fluent in Al Bhed. :p

Sadly, (Or should I say awesomely? o_O) I've met a couple of people (or maybe more than that) that actually learned and can speak Al Bhed! Although, that was when FFX was still pretty big, and those people probably have forgotten it by now. XD

But seriously, if NISA did treat Hymmnos as gibberish, it's very much... Ugh...

[Nash]

I wouldn't be surprised if NISA thinks of the language in that manner. They are having enough trouble localising the Japanese text and upping the level of innuendo as it is... orz

[Ayulsa]

I use Al Bhed to hide spoilers sometimes in places that don't have spoiler-hiding tags. It's kind of a more awesome version of ROT-13. XD

Though I can in no way speak it; I just use an autotranslator, which works perfectly because it's a cipher, not a true language. I sort of wanted to learn, but I wasn't all that attached to FFX, and stuff.

[Nash]

Heh, I would learn it... but I ended up collecting all the primers too soon.
They should have had bilingual subtitles, instead of completely replacing the lines...
