You Lose

Blazer

Dear Whiners,

I'm changing Malliesia to Malicia, and doing whatever else I feel likeI think is a good, worthwhile improvement. And when I say "I" I'm kind of speaking on behalf of the team--especially Arch, who wants to make name improvements the most.

You failed to translate this game before us and obtain the privilege of making the decision yourself. You're now going to have to live with the result, even if that means crying over improvements to names. You don't like change? Going to keep arguing your names? Go eat a sandwich, and then look in the mirror so you can see how ridiculous some of the names you're trying to have in the game are.

We still take suggestions but once we hear them and their reasoning that's all we need to hear--if we like it, TRUST ME, we'll do something about it. You arguing just slows down this translation, wastes my time, makes me want to stop for a few months, and makes me NOT want to use your suggestion, even if it's legitimate (although we wouldn't argue in the first place if it were legitimate).

So ultimately,

YOU LOSE

EDIT: Notice how I didn't use swear words or call anyone idiots in my post, this post is not "**** YOU YOU SUCK STFU", it's "GET A SENSE OF THE SITUATION HERE AND EASE UP ON THE EGOS BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT HELPING". If you don't know me at all then you might think this post is displaying MY ego, but trust me, I hate having to do crap like this. It's only because no one else wants to be the bad guy that I have to. And I'm used to being criticized for what I do so I can handle it. :\

  3. It's stupid how people get so beat and upset over a simple name. I don't care what name anyone gets as long as I can enjoy the game.

  6. Its your project and you should choose what you guys like... but it worries me that you post something like this. It means the whiners are getting to you. And as the project advances further, insufferable trolls will appear, and they have been the bane of many great things.

    Anyway, here's hoping that you keep doing what you like at the best of your ability and don't listen much to the "community" that ends up hurting the project more than helping it most of the time.

  8. I am totally fine with this, I won't say I didn't want Mallesia, but this is fine. My question is, how exactly do you pronounce that..? >_<

    ReplyDelete
  9. ^how to pronounce Malliesia? who the hell knows

    pronounce Malicia? easy. Muh-lee-see-uh (sorry I can't use those fancy pronounciation characters that tell you exactly how to pronounce things, haha)

    @Everyone else thanks for the comments, I read them all but I'm tired (both of responding to comments and in general, since it's 2AM) so I'm just gonna absorb them into my brain and leave it at that. :P

  10. Don't let the whiners get to you all - i just want to play the game so thank you all for the time and effort you are putting into this.

  11. I read this news and I must say in fact I don't really care about it. As some people said, this is your translation, so you are the one with your team to decide what names you want. I find it rather sad to complain so high about the name you choose to use, especially when you said you will release the tools allowing us to change the names we desire...

    Anyway, I won't complain at all with the name that was changed, it is true that I liked this name, it was rather exotic, but of course, Malicia is according to me a much better name than Malliesia if we're thinking in term of localization.

    I hope at least that this post you made Blazer won't excite some people... Because I'm a little affraid that after seeing a post like this, they will come here and keep arguing about what they think is good for them, and try to impose their way of thinking (a thing that I absolutely hate... Everybody has his own way of thinking, so let's be tolerent and respect the other ways too...)

  12. This was a perfect post to end it with a dealwithit.gif. I think you missed that opportunity bigtime. xD

  13. Who whines? I've always been grateful for your hard work and compassion for the other fans who wanna play more "fire emblem".

  14. Whiners, leave this team of heaven alone!:)
    sad people stressing you over a name.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Well, of course. That should go without saying. The whiners will, however, inevitably continue to whine. I know it can be hard to ignore them.

    I have never played FE3 or looked into the names, but I can say "Malicia" is a much better name than "Malliesia," and based on that, I'm confident this patch is in good hands with you.

    Are you planning on changing any of the Shadow Dragon names? There were some really stupid decisions in that localization, but it's probably best to go along with them. Nothing quite as stupid as SIGLUD or RACKESIS though.

  16. ok wouldn't it be easier to release 2 patchs of the game one of them is using the useless old names and the other one use the improved names
    speaking after using FE7 and FE8 text editor if what you guys use is the same you can simply make a patch with the improved names then use find and replace to replace the improved names with the old names and get another patch with the old names.

    PS. I couldn't care less about picking between some names like "Malicia" or "Malliesia" the only character I care about in this game is My Unit

    ReplyDelete
  17. To be honest I don't really care.
    As the team stated on the SF forum somewhere, we can always change it when they release the tools if we dont like something.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Our text editor is nothing like the FE7 and FE8 text editors, all the hacking we do for this translation is on a higher level than GBA hacking, which has lots of nice tools to help people.

    Regardless we plan on making it easier for people to make their own patches and even their own translation when this is done, as we've said many times. ^_^

  19. Wow. Real mature of you.

  20. "Wow. Real mature of you."

    get over it

    ReplyDelete
  21. I'm annoyed at the fact he presented a completely onesided argument and decided to take the time to go post this, not that the team decided to call her Malicia or whatever.

    ReplyDelete
  22. You know that when you tell someone to "go eat a sandwich", they realise that it's just a nicer way of saying "fuck you", right?

    ReplyDelete
  23. Well said Blazer I'm on your side. This post reminds me of the hilarious arguments over Doga/Draug.

    I want 100% translation done the way Blazer envisions it......NOT the way some random fans envision it.

    ReplyDelete
  24. I'd like to point out, Blazer, that Malicia can easily be mispronounced. If I wasn't already aware of how to pronounce the name from Malliesia (which, by the way, is much harder to mispronounce from because of all the letters), I would pronounce the name Mah li see uh (Malice with an -ia ending).

    ReplyDelete
  25. Malice...Malice that is usually a word people use when they say your keeping a grudge.

    I would pronounce Malicia like Ma-Lis-Sa like Malisa, but like Malissa.

    But what did I do...just joking...Hey everyone is different, but to really stick it to them allow the player to choose the names of every person.

  26. Don't listen to the whiners! As Epi said, they're gonna get worse as you show some progress. I am deeply thankful that your tackling this project and I will support any of your decisions. Keep on going XD

    ReplyDelete
  27. I honestly feel like using a word so close to "malice" is incredibly corny. Either way, I don't feel like there's a reason to be so cross about your opinion.

    Overbearing people on the internet will be overbearing. Don't give them attention. You are fully right that they don't have to play it if it bothers them so badly and it should really be left at that. You're doing everyone a huge favor by translating it at all and if they can't see that then they're kind of bad. No need to get flustered over bad people.

  28. Sounds like you need to take rage dump, Blazer.
    And 'Vergil' is a godawful change. The Japanese fanbase on 2ch took a look got a good horse laugh from it.
    Speaking of horses, might want to get off that high horse of yours and make some less retarded changes.
