Happy 120th birthday on 22/8 to certified cool dude Deng Xiaoping
Well FF spells in English are different since the first translated game, so they follow their own tradition.
Ah, by magic abilities I mean the special powers he gets from his royal bloodline. In Spanish it’s called the gift of Lux and every related skill has that moniker: warping is called Lux Impetus, perfect guards are called Lux Custodia, the thing that distracts enemies is called Lux Fatua, etc.
I’m not sure what spells are called in either language because I never bothered to craft any of them.
Interesting to hear the English version isn’t as good. I played through with the voices mostly muted and all text in Spanish, so I only saw the poetic side. I can’t wait to have some free time again. All your analyses are making me want to jump back into it. There’s something about FF games that grows on you even if you didn’t quite enjoy it as expected the first time round. Maybe because they’re so immersive?
Did you play in Spanish Spanish or in Latino Spanish? Because I’ve been messing around with languages and found some interesting differences between the two. And do you know how to make tables in Lemmy?, because I might post about it…
And I agree, this game really grew on me too! I thought the main characters were tropey at first but they’ve endeared themselves to me since. I can overlook all the game’s jank because the boys are just that precious. I spent two hours running around in circles with them with illegible text and I’d do it again.
Spanish Spanish. I’m not sure how to make tables. There’s some info here on markdown but it doesn’t cover tables: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/02-media.html
I did read on a hexbear post that you can just copy tables in from open office. I’m unsure if it works or what is limitations are.
Agree about the characters, too. It’s the friendships that hooked me in earlier FFs.
