I also hope you guys will translate Verne World and Re-translate Terranigma. I think Terranigma is one of the greatest games ever made but I heard that the translation is mediocre.
Firstly, Welcome to the D-D forums J.C.
Okay, I gather you have not played Terranigma yourself, you say "I think Terranigma is one of the greatest games ever made but I heard that the translation is mediocre".. I'm a massive fan of THAT game, to the point that I actually 100%'ed the game, I mean gaining 100% in all the towns and built everything up. The translation is good in my opinion so whoever you heard that from just probably didn't enjoy the game that much. I WOULD however suggest you play it even IF people think the translation ain't that fantastic, it does not need a re-translation and this is probably why no one has attempted it, it's perfectly fine as it is.
IF you have played it then i'm ACTUALLY curious to know why you think the translation of it is mediocre..? and PLEASE DO NOT reference all that rubbish that ONE person argues about over on GameFAQ's post about this game needing a re-translation. The game didn't officially get an American release.. it was only released as PAL and Japanese regions but i'm guessing if it DID get a USA release the American and Pal versions would have been near enough the same story/text other than a few words here and there being changed.. like color/colour, religious contents being removed etc.. SO to that point you STILL would have not got a REAL word for word translation in the USA.
I totally find it ODD though the game was translated in the USA but didn't get a release there. The little mistakes in the game with the text I will assume it was just a beta script they went with and not giving it a final script version.. all to rush it out over in the PAL regions for release at around December time for christmas Dec, 2016, not to mention because Enix of America had shut down before the script was just about finished (which is another reason I think the game used a late beta version of the translation script, of course this is just MY opinion on what happened and no definitive proof of that.)
I specifically remember getting this game way back in 1996 for christmas in the UK, and man.. I was hooked from day one, so if you haven't played it.. play it, you won't be disappointed, even with all these little text mistakes that grammar natzis RAGE over on the net and want changed, lol.
Peace Man!
