Today is the OFFICIAL start of the club! If your were patient, now is the time to join us in the week 1 thread . If you weren’t patient, see you next week for the next chapter of our adventures.
Also I want to highlight this proposal of mine:
While I have transcribed the dialogue from the game, I haven’t translated it. It’s quite a lot of work and I thought it was a bit overkill. But I thought that it could be an interesting exercise to crowdsource the translation: people who feel like trying their hand at translation (especially beginners) can propose translations for various lines, either here or on the google sheet directly, and then we could discuss, improve and correct the translations if necessary.
I think this could be valuable for a few reasons:
Actually coming up with an accurate translation instead of merely “getting it” usually involves a deeper understanding of the Japanese;
Providing translations could help other players who struggle with a particular line (including long after this club has ended);
I’m sure it could trigger some interesting discussions about more subtle nuances of the language.
I think it would be a fun legacy for this club to generate a full translation of the script of FF1 Pixel Remaster, but obviously I don’t want to coerce anyone into participating.
