General Discussion / Need help with FFVII Re-translation Comparison Script
« on: 2019-03-24 21:46:12 »
When I heard there was a fan-based re-translation made for FFVII, I wanted to play it to see what differences there were when compared to the original game. I am working on getting my 1998 PC game installed and modded with the Reunion Package. Until I am able to do that, I have been watching two different video playthroughs of the Beacause Re-translation, while re-playing FFVII on my PS 3. Since many of the translation changes are minor, I really couldn't tell a big difference. I then decided to do a line by line comparison script for myself that I can read. Now I am appreciating the subtle and more major changes more when I can look at the original and re-translated lines side by side. I am enjoying this personal project immensely.
My problem is that the two video playthroughs with the Beacause modded script have differences. The changes are probably a result of the players using different versions of the Beacause Script. I was hoping someone could tell me which script is the latest version, based on the following differences:
In one video playthrough, sectors are now districts. Phoenix Downs are Phoenix Tails. However, the materia names haven't changed. Fire is still Fire. Ice is still Ice. In the other playthrough, sectors are still sectors. However, the Fire and Ice materias are now called Flame and Cold respectively.
Can anyone tell me which playthrough is the latest version? I felt like the change from sectors to districts came from one of the later versions. I just thought Flame and Cold were considered the better translations for the materia. So, I can't figure out why the first playthrough didn't have both changes.
I found a link for the Reunion Package patch on this site. How do I know if I am downloading the latest version?
Thanks in advance.
