piped.video/@DoubleperfectK.… Wednesday and Sunday 4pm Pacific for Japanese FFXIV MSQ streams

I found out why the EN FFXIV community has been so confused as to what the deal with The Echo vs The Blessing of Light is, and if they're both from Hydaelyn. It's because the translation is absolute garbage, and they keep mixing them up in the EN. A Thread

Going live in 10 minutes with the new patch MSQ -> DT role quest finale depending on how long it takes. I very much so want them to repeat the same mistake they've been making for the last ten years and just not translate critically important foreshadowing piped.video/live/P-RxTZY_PGw…

This time on Japanese Dawntrail: They changed the Mamuuja girl from this quest series from an absolutely adorable ball of sunshine to a bland forgettable character who talks like everyone else piped.video/live/mGmzNv_2Mrk…

Back again with more Japanese Dawntrial role quests. Finishing magic DPS and then going to ranged phys, where they entirely cut the joke that makes me excited for that one. piped.video/live/83xj4LQkAiI…

I need to make a thread for all the major story inconsistencies in the English rewrite of FFXIV, but as a quick example of how they don't actually care about "getting across the same message" and also just genuinely hate fun, here's something from last stream. This is in the Dawntrail role quests. Your antagonist in the magic dps one is a guy who calls himself ジャスティス・R (JUSTICE R), and is doing a whole super sentai bit. The R stands for Radz-at-han, which he is trying to be the hero of. Total idiot. The name is hilariously lame, he is not actually particularly strong, but the kids think hes super cool. It's genuinely very funny.

The English has him call himself "The Justiciar". That's just a real thing someone might call themselves. It doesn't evoke super sentai, power rangers, fucking anything, it's just boring. In the Japanese the absolute second I saw "Justice R" I knew this guy was going to be a dumbass rider wannabe ACTUAL localization here would be to work in something along the lines of "The R apparently stands for Radz-at-han" when he's being introduced, but instead they just kill the joke entirely. This entire role quest series is full of things like this

This time on JP Dawntrail, watch and be amazed as the "masterful translators" "punch up" the boring Japanese dialogue by removing every joke in the comedic quest series. They genuinely hate fun it's crazy. piped.video/live/rNg8QLzsYjw…

This time on Japanese Dawntrail: Probably a shorter stream because I'm hovering on the verge of being very sick, but I really wanna keep going on the role quests because they are very entertaining piped.video/live/CCR0Ma_8uRQ…
