Incidentally, I couldn't actually find any Japanese versions of A Christmas Story back when I bought all these movies, I wonder if there was a cultural/historical issue in the way
I hope not because it's one of my earliest movie theater memories and it's such an iconic piece of American culture
@sanewonko.bsky.social Say, do you know what happens if your inventory is completely full and Golbez gives you the crystal to defeat Golbez? I thought I read something about it a long time ago but I'm not really sure what happens - does it maybe just get forced into some item slot regardless?
Gonna take today off again I think, sorry for the delays like this
I still hope to finish this game this week
(Also if you're curious, J2e is at such a negative score due to the amount of 100% made-up content)
The Christmas Story that's in the pic is actually just a copy of the movie in Beta format, I forgot I put it in here, sorry for the confusion
@clydemandelin.bsky.social Just saw this pop up on Instagram, I'm probably the 100th person to send it to you but thought it was pretty funny
I'm not streaming a FFIV translation comparison today, but I'm still planning on finishing it up this week!
If you're curious, the scores currently are
SNES: -1097
J2e fan translation: -1317
Namingway fan translation: -1100

I've been seeing posts about The Wizard, that Nintendo-centric movie from like 35 years ago
So here's a look at the Japanese translation of the movie!
I re-read this article of mine the other day and forgot how much more I could still add: legendsoflocalization.com/articles/per...
Someday I'd like to write about Japanese second-person pronouns (words for "you") but it'll be a bit tougher due to needing pairs of characters rather than individuals
Hey, out of this pile of movies, which ones should I do translation comparison articles about next?
I've only done these two so far: legendsoflocalization.com/movies/
