>import Japanese game >substitute Japanese names with shitty names like "Bob", "Jim", and "Chloe" >remove the option of Japanese audio + English subs and force shitty English dub with shitty American voice actors >censor the fuck out of every scene
And people wonder why the entire world fucking hates America.
American companies are not the only ones which do bad localizations, and this is a stupid thread which isn't really about video games.
Juan Cox
If you are so desperate for your pathetic titty weebshit games then learn japanese you piece of shit faggot.

chloe is a good name dipshit, don't compare to billy bob, billy jim and billy ray.

>import Japanese game >the translation doesn't have honorifics
Zachary Carter
Most scrubs on this board weren't around for the really bad old days of shitty translations.
Cameron Gutierrez
i like america OP, they make things i like, like games, tv series, movies and cartoons, why are you so mean?!
Luis Wood
Shut up and kys. I literally can't play persona because of this. It's cringey as fuck. That's not part of our language so why should it be in the translation
Dominic Moore
>>remove the option of Japanese audio + English subs and force shitty English dub with shitty American voice actors I really don't get this, it never sounds good unless it actually fits the tone/setting like with Dark Souls. and they actually put in effort to make it good.
Jacob Gutierrez
Name literally one example
Jason Peterson
Get the undubs then nigger.
Ethan Rogers
Japan literally censors vaginas in porn.
Wyatt Torres
>it's another "yuropoor is assblasted at America" thread
Nathan Gomez
vaginas are gross though :x
Angel Cook
who the fuck cares
you probably only play weebshit anyway
Camden Rodriguez
well that game didn't have Japanese voice acting to begin with though..
Joseph Baker

Ayden Price
Nobody cares what you think pillowbiter
Ian Jackson
>pillowbiter
:s
Aiden Hall
Yep that's why ISIS was formed, because the Americans fucked up the translation on FF7
Thomas Johnson
I would unironically prefer it if the US just hired japan to voice act everything the US makes, and just use English subs.
Jackson Thompson
Source?
Zachary Hughes
Actually wasn't aware of that, makes more sense though.
Jaxson Moore
Awkward jokes and pop culture references shoehorned into the dialog. Fucking with the game's difficulty for no real reason. Changing names arbitrary.
Alundra was such a shitheap it's not even funny. tcrf.net/Alundra
Aaron Rogers
At the very least it's the cause for 9/11. Bin Laden had FFVII on his computer, after all.
Tyler Bell
Voice acting performances have to be licensed separately with royalties paid to the individual VAs. Some of the VAs in Japanese dubs are A-list seiyuu with correspondingly hefty price tags. Western VAs (even the well known ones) are a lot cheaper. In the old days, they just used company employees and didn't pay them anything.
Kevin Adams
This is a shitpost but I'll spread some knowledge to those baited by it: maybe 4/5 times, it's actually the Japanese parent company who insists on heavy localization and dub-only because it they think it will sell better and then they don't need to pay additional royalties to the actors.
Christopher White
You don't need to learn Japanese for non-Japanese games, which is what "weebshit games" are.
Hudson Diaz
No, it's the localizers that insist on doing it because they think it will sell. This.
Adam Cooper
>game doesn't get translated at all
Colton Bell
tummys are my fetish
Eli Edwards
Fire Emblem Fates. Though that's by far one of the most extreme cases of bad localization.
Also the original Persona. Literally turned Japanese high schoolers into Americans, and made a guy black.
Camden Jenkins
>our language
You don't speak for me fucker.
Bentley Long
>import Japanese game >play the game in all its original glory ezpz
Adam Allen
Source OP!
Carson Price
Japanese voices sound garbage, first of all they have 4 archetypes, 2 for each gender. They got the deep voiced tough guy, the cool laid back guy, the cutesy bubbly girl, and the shy demure slut.
Tyler Howard
Compared to the two American voice acting archetypes, the retard and the slut, I'd say it's an improvement.
Dylan Moore
>And people wonder why the entire world fucking hates America. We don't care.
Hunter Myers
I would gladly put effort into translating games if they were good and I had the programming ability to do so. Oh well
David Perez
Completely false meme nonsense. Yet another case of someone seeing a small glimpse of something Japanese and then engaging in wild generalization.
James Morgan
GIVE ME THE SOURCE NOW!
Wyatt Collins
The only things Japanese VAs do is screech KIMOCHIIIII and YAMETEEEEE. Prove me wrong.
Andrew Brown
People do that shit all the time, I don't see you bitching about thisOr this
Angel Cruz
You can look at literally any piece of japanese entertainment that's not dubbed and be proven wrong.
William Hall
WHERE'S THE FUCKING SOURCE?!
Justin Kelly
Why would you need the source for something as generic as this?
>People do that shit all the time And?
Matthew Martinez
And you're a shitty weeb dickhead.
Adam Gutierrez
But I want to see boobies
Chase Adams
>Why would you need the source for something as generic as this? because navels are the fucking best
Julian Nelson
that's the best kind of localization, japanese cartoons shouldn't be treated any different from normal cartoons
Logan Murphy
>Why would you need the source for something as generic as this? I like the way it's drawn, and if I find the artist I can potentially find plenty of women drawn this specific way
Christopher Johnson
>import japanese game >translate it
クソバカ外人
William Moore
You have no proof I'm a weeb.
They're not cartoons and there's no reason why anime or Japanese games should not be localized accurately.
Luke Watson
Why would you even want that? It sounds awful in English you fucking weeb.
Ryder Sanders
We don't call them first or third world here. We call the I-land and U-land U-land is what we use for the less developed countries.
USA
John Sanders
>They're not cartoons
There's the proof weeb
Jayden Reed
>クソバカ doko the fuck did you learn nihongo
Owen Lopez

Jace Moore
Making a factual statement does not make someone a weeb.
Jacob Gray
>anime is their word for cartoon >getting assblasted over someone calling it what it is in english Yes user, today you learned that you are indeed a fucking weeb.
Christopher Cook
Anime is their word for animation, not cartoon. Anime and cartoons are distinct from each other.
You have no proof I'm a weeb.
Eli Green
It's okay son, you can come out of the closet whenever you're ready.
Benjamin Martin
You have no proof I'm a weeb.
Hunter Sanchez
Why the fuck are you using spoilers like that?
Connor Hernandez
good thing you wouldn't hear the english script out loud, right?
Christopher Hughes
He's retarded and thinks that was clever hive him a break

Chase Campbell
Because you're retarded Ironic.
Jace Campbell
>try to reverse image search this >it gives me the wikipedia page for the human eye what the fuck
Ian Ward
Fine. Honorifics are not part of English and therefore should not be in an English localization
Camden Jenkins
SAME BOAT, ANONYMOUS. I’VE EXHAUSTED MY SAUCE-FU AND I’VE RELEGATED TO YELLING IN THE THREAD UNTIL SOMEONE GIVES IT UP
Anthony Cook
Agreed, it makes me cringe when I hear the 13 year olds here do it, made me cringe when the VAs in persona do it though I got used to it. It's easy to ignore though.
Mason Garcia
reverse image search only works if you've seen it before
Ian Evans
I HAVE SEVERAL SEARCH ENGINES AND SPECIFIC SOURCE SITES THAT DON’T WORK LIKE THAT AND EVEN THEY CAN’T FIND ANYTHING FOR THAT CANCEROUS CROP JOB
Jaxon Wright
>getting upset that the game was properly translated The only time that honorifics should be used in a localization is when the characters are supposed to be speaking another language and a character is using them because he's a weeaboo
Jaxson Anderson
The least you fags could do is to learn to pronounce japanese names. Like for the love of god.
Evan Powell
these localizers have to be told to do so by somebody, kiddo.
Ethan Jenkins
I’M STILL WAITING CUNTS
Oliver Perez
THIS THREAD IS GOING TO FUCKING DIE AND I WON’T GET ANY KIND OF SOURCE
WHAT GOOD IS Sup Forums VIDEO GAMES IF THEY CAN’T SOURCE IMAGES
Lucas Robinson
>substitute Japanese names with shitty names like "Bob", "Jim", and "Chloe" Am i the only one who genuinely likes this?
I'd rather play as Jack, Jame and Jill over Ryunaki, Setsuna and Tirokishi. They're just not names I have an easy time associating with characters because of my western culture. Fuck they don't even sound like names because I've never heard them before.
One of the few things I always liked about Final Fantasy is that they always seem to have their own internal logic behind the names of their characters, which doesn't align with either eastern or western style (most of the time). It makes it easier to meet them at he middle.
Michael Powell
Or maybe because 2/3 of them aren't words let alone names.
Chase Perez
>aren't words
Anthony Lopez
>unironically uses kys and cringey go back to plebbit, tween
Dylan Allen
English already HAS honorifics, just not to the same extent. What do you think Mister, Miss, Sir, etc. are?
Connor Wood
And yet the people who bitch about this don't mind all the Yu Gi Oh localizations. Hypocrites,
