ToP translation serious?

If you have played Tales of Phantasia in english, you might have noticed some errr... rated converstations between the characters.
Was this legitametly translated from the original game? Or did Dejap decide to throw in their own bit of fun? I did find them quite humourous indeed.

DeJap wanted to be true to the original and their translation is the closest one to the original japanese script. Yes, the japanese are more *open* when it comes to things like these.

Independent groups aren't pressured as much (if at all) to censor scripts.

I think it's great they used "mature" talk.

Of course it is. I wouldn't want it any other way.

How many times does this have to come up?

If I remember I saw 4 or 5 threads like this in the past.

Way too many times I'd say.

The first time I ever saw it brought up was by me. I was kind of shocked to see some of what was there.

I still believe it wouldn't be a bad idea to make a censored version. But it's up to Dark Force. I'm not going to say what he should or shouldn't do in his free time.

ok, we have concluded that hunterkiller is a prepubuscent fourteen year old who can't handle bits of text simulating grunts and groans.

let's move on to something else, Dark Force has enough complaints shoved up his ass.

I really see censorship as something disgusting in any form. But if it must happen, at least the viewer/reader/listener should be given the option to access the undamaged material beforehand. We don't need to have our choices made for us.

Too bad that's always what happens anyway, especially in gaming land.

If you can't handle it, please return you your shell.
