New York Quest VIII

[slimequest]

I'm going to be in New York next week. Like, the city. I've never been there. Naturally I'm planning to visit the Nintendo Store while I'm there... and I guess that Statue of Whatever and the Museum of Natural.. somethings.

Decided to pick up Tales of Phantasia for GBA for the trip. They really butchered the translation in places and took out fun stuff like the opening theme, renaming function and sound test. I'm really hoping they bring out the new and improved PSP version out here, but in the meantime I'm enjoying the GBA version simply for the fact that it's ToP, and portable at that.

Oh and I beat Metal Gear Solid. Meryl ending of course, but immediately krile made me promise to get the Otacon ending on the Gamecube version. Because, you know, love can bloom on the battlefield............ in the butt.

(Now I'm waiting for MGS2 to come in the mail, I actually found MGS3 at the mall so I'm in the awkward situation of being tempted to play them out of order. It might not even really matter if I do or not, but oh well~)

Not as butchered as DeJap's translation. DeJap probably took more liberties than
the official translation team did.

and took out fun stuff like the opening theme
The GBA has a far shittier soundchip than even the SNES -- at least, in sound. It'd probably sound really awful if they left it in.

Because, you know, love can bloom on the battlefield............ in the butt.

No.

I think MGS3 is actually a prequel to the other two. At least I think I remember reading that somewhere.

Also deJap may have taken liberties with their translation, but at least they didn't change "Ragnarok" to "Kangaroo". I mean sheesh.

AND SOMEHOW MARIO WILL BE THERE AT THE NINTENDO STORE ZOMGGG~

The Otacon ending is a hundred times better.

SNAKE: My name's David.
OTACON: ...Well, I'm Hal.
SNAKE: Hal and Dave, huh? Maybe we should take a trip to Jupiter.
OTACON: Well, Snake, I'd rather explore Uranus.
