Edit: Also, I don't get why you seem to believe we somehow need your approval
Then STOP acting like I'm even trying to spread that notion. Have you EVER actually seen me say openly that I'm even against you guys and what you're doing. No, but you and I can only really speak on you, since I haven't seen anyone else do this, are trying to make an enemy out of me, all just because I don't agree that a localization is impossible.
We gave you the general reasons and hinted at "spoilery" reasons for it as well, you called us "silly" and accused me of using "sloppy logic".
The "sloppy logic" was referring to the idea that Capcom wouldn't bring the game overseas because of the game being so japanese, as opposed to the main character just not being Phoenix. Really, if they had an inkling that the game would sell loads, they'd bring it, localization be damned.
The "silly" bit was a jovial quip to the notion that Capcom supposedly dug themselves into an "inescapable hole" with the localization. That just simply isn't the case, givenWhat can I say, absolutes like that just
So, will you acknowledge that none those even had to do
I did tease you a little by offering you a blankie and warm milk when you said I was giving you "a bad feeling".
So I didn't "bully" you, I told you (in an admittedly increasingly annoyed tone) why your ideas DO NOT WORK. After derailing the reddit thread, you're now doing the same thing to this one.
You went beyond simply using those insults. And still, the fact of the matter is, is that you've hounded me, pounded away at me, because I don't agree with yuor logic, nothing more, nothing less. WHy is that such a problem that you feel the need to drive at it so much?
We (well, mostly I) told you why it doesn't work. You admitted to not having played the game and not knowing "anything too spoilery". We gave you the general reasons and hinted at "spoilery" reasons for it as well, you called us "silly" and accused me of using "sloppy logic".
I did tease you a little by offering you a blankie and warm milk when you said I was giving you "a bad feeling". You used insults and ignored all reasoning while acting like you know your stuff - spreading misinformation I merely debunked. And you were lecturing me on translation techniques and the game's story (as you did here) while knowing nothing about both of them (as you admitted yourself).
.
You misunderstood me when I said I hadn't played the game. I never said I hadn't seen it, learned about it and the Japanese important subjects, heck even the historical figures in that game, without getting spoiled nearly as much as I could've. As for me "lecturing you", no, just no. I was pointing out how you were at points generalizing localization as Americanization, and pointing ot, how you were technically using localization cues by making the Japanese stuff conveyed properly.
Look man, I don't want to fight, and I'm not trying to set some "approval station" here, so why not just let the whole thing go, as I'm not some "hater" here to "sabotage your project as you may fear.
I've not bad-mouthed this fan-effort and I have no plans to do so in the near future anyway.
I'm perfectly fine with you guys doing the fan-translation the way you see fit. I'm not even upset that you're opting to do it that.
By my accounts, it's nice to have this safety net on the chance that we don't soon enough get an official localization, and I vastly appreciate the effort going into this translation.
