How the localisation and the dub ?

[Doctor Dementor]

-more Faithful than the original ?
-Untouched from the original ?
-Cringe modifications ?
-Modern sensibilities type of modification ?

[zimfier]

Censorship of drinks, removal of characters ages, cringe modifications that detract from the original and removal of some gender stuff.

[Viper]

Woke and bad.

[Doctor Dementor]

DRINKS TOO what the ♥♥♥♥

[fireguardiancoty]

There is no dub, sadly. A mod can easily fix it tho.

The "woke" babies are way too sensitive. This is a JRPG with thousands of lines of dialogue, they maybe changed a word or two, here or there, a handful of times. 99.99% of the text is the same.

So it is worthless, thanks for the heads up mate, came to check knowing it was probably trash. The way of things nowadays, luckily the old one is readily available.

In other words, you bought into the ridiculousness of the culture war situation rather than making up your own mind.

I think it's weird to just be mad at whatever fox news tells you to be mad about.

They removed the ability to play as a female character and cut half the photo mechanic. It's objectively worse.

I'm guessing you've never played the game before if you think playing as a female or male does anything

If it didn't matter, then why bother changing it?

If it does matter, then let's talk about why it was changed?

This hand wave dismissing makes no sense

I do think there is merit in discussing it, why it happened and what effects it really has without anyone handwaving it or bickering over it. Localization changes have been happening since before I even picked up my first NES controller. Even some of my favorite games I'd find out were changed pretty heavily all over the place, like Fire Emblem Awakening. If anything it feels more like a fascinating subject to me than a freaking woke/anti-woke battlefield.

As soon as the word "woke" is used in any thread, the discussion immediately shuts down and the side who used the word "woke" without a hint of irony automatically loses all credibility in the discussion, for they lack original thought and the ability to present themselves with any intellect.

It's funny that they take turns harping about the same thing when their friends have already made countless threads about it. Eventually, they get bored and move on to the next game and do the same thing. Do they have nothing better to do than turn Steam discussion boards into a cesspit of complaining?

These forums used to be actually useful with people asking questions and giving advice. Now it's just endless repetitive conspiratorial BS.

Agreed. Any attempt at credible criticism of the localization goes out the window (from what I gather the differences from the Japanese dialogue are a genuine subject of concern), once the conspiracy theories enter the discussion.
