to say that a translation error when goin from japanese to eng

is small

last I checked

japanese is about context

and if you mistranlate

[Amaterasu_1549906707 19]

Translation errors can wipe away entire context of scenes at times

[Marluxia#4918 9]

But if I put that into his speech and corrected it im still having issues with the parts he goes on about darkness being a plague etc.

[MiragedRoxas 5]

you get a whole new context meaning

[Amaterasu_1549906707 19]

Mind you, I still like a good dub here and there but..

[Novayon 192]

Most English speaking people won't care or wont know what the jp version says. They'll just see the english version. That is how the story is to them

[Marluxia#4918 9]

because it just sheds light on the whole, now he wants a world of light instead of one that is balanced. But now it is

[Novayon 192]

Besides, marluxia has the real point

[MiragedRoxas 5]

good for them english players

[Amaterasu_1549906707 19]

Yeah.. but it’s not the original script,now is it? Just because you won’t “see” that JP version, doesn’t mean it’s unimportant..

[MiragedRoxas 5]

they'll live in a bubble

knowing that they're thinking a mistranslation is right

[MiragedRoxas 5]

mistaking the actual context of words

[Amaterasu_1549906707 19]

Though admittedly.. translation is difficult

[MiragedRoxas 5]

to be completely different

[SoraAlfheim 69]

If you guys legit think this small mistranslation changes the entire meaning of the scene, you're just dead wrong.

[Novayon 192]

Every version of KH in english is not canon because of translation issues then?

[Amaterasu_1549906707 19]

That’s assuming that’s the only mistranslation though..

[Novayon 192]

Yeah, what Hawk said. Changing bright to blank doesn't change the whole thing

[Amaterasu_1549906707 19]

My point is if there’s other points that got lost

Not solely this one sentence

[Marluxia#4918 9]

But if somebody went through the work of finding that error, do you not think they wouldve come across more?

[Noleen 7]

old man is dead anyway

[SoraAlfheim 69]

Look, Eraqus and Sora would not have just accepted it like that if his intentions were still dark.

That's the whole point.

There's more than just his words that add to that scene.

[Amaterasu_1549906707 19]

I know by checking, for a fact, that the papuo scene’s dialogue was more inclined towards friendship and being ambiguous..

[Novayon 192]

Sure, If. But that's an if. We don't know. I only deal with what we have.

[Amaterasu_1549906707 19]

And there weren’t as many romantic connotations
