    What I find rude and unnecersary is one guy a page ago subtely saying (Not even that subtle really) "You're the minority your opinion doesn't matter because it's not the ""right"" one" and another on this page bringing up a completely irrelevant game that had a different team work on that as if they're trying to make them look silly.

    But this is the NA forum afterall, someone's saying something that goes against a popular opinion?
    a) post a meme
    b) be snarky for them sweet likes
    c) bring up something irrelevant
    d) all of the above

    I don't agree with the sky being blue or grass being green. Why can't we name the colour of the sky purple? Why does it *have* to be blue? Why is green "green"? Why can't it be a different name like "lamp"? However, no matter how much I want that to change, it's not going to happen, because it isn't the "right" one. That's essentially what that person is trying to argue, trying to change the unchangeable.

    But I guess you can continue to defend and argue a point that is going out of season. Points for trying. Maybe they want a medal for trying so hard. Who knows.

    Edit: misread. Mistakes are allowed, right?

    But go on, keep trying to regulate how we post here. I wasn't aware you were given the title of "Forum Police" recently. Someone bring out the cake.

    No, you're telling them to pipe down and stop posting essentially because they're saying something that's not a popular opinion.
    Didn't even read past "I don't agree with the sky being blue..." because now you're just being silly and I knew where it was going.

    I'm very sorry, I'm not a fan of the English localization so I'll stand by my opinion and defend the original Japanese, just like you love the English localization and you'll defend that just as much, aren't opinions wonderful? Stop the forum from being boring and makes this place slightly more tolerable than reddit


    And "popular opinion"? You must be trained in information manipulation.
    You literally just said the person who you're arguing against is a minority, lol.

    geez, you really took that to heart didn't you? Might I remind you of yourself telling someone how to post with your poor middle earth impersonation post?

    No one's bothered about the poster preferring the JP version. The issue is them using their JP-bias to denigrate the EN version as supposedly not being true to the 'original' source, when it's been stated how it's a collaborative effort from both sides. Hence for all the poster knows there could be stuff on the JP side that wasn't true to the 'original' EN version, but as far as they're concerned since there's a JP version it must be the true version, hands down.

    There's a difference between a discussion of opinions and plain refusal of acceptance. You and they don't like the English script. More power to you, go play in Japanese, and we'll play in English. It's when you refuse to accept that facts that have been proven and keep pushing your own biased and factually irrelevant agenda that we have a problem.


    I'm very sorry, I'm not a fan of the English localization so I'll stand by my opinion and defend the original Japanese, just like you love the English localization and you'll defend that just as much, aren't opinions wonderful?
    And there you go again. You know, don't you find it strange that in a thread with so many posters, there's only two of you that still spew out this "original Japanese" nonsense? You're very good at logical arguing, surely you can find the answer. Maybe it's *gasp* that you're wrong and have no factual evidence for your viewpoint! The horror!

    That was my bad saying it's the original Japanese in that one post, I know it's a joint effort, I've said so in the same thread you're posting, where am I spewing by the way?
    And calm down, please, it's just the internet. It's not healthy to be angry over the internet.

    And there's that word again "Agenda"
    I'm not pushing anything, champ, maybe work on learning what words mean in modern English before dabbling in middle earth speak

    So you admit to being of the "original Japanese" opinion. You still haven't addressed my point as to why you're defending a factually incorrect "opinion", just as I'm defending that the sky is purple when it clearly isn't. As I said, you're very good at topic and information manipulation.

    So does that make you blind in one eye?
    Don't need to defend anything when I know it's a joint opinion btw, I'll defend how I prefer the Japanese client tho, thanks.

    These individuals are expected to work side by side with the development teams here in Tokyo as they transform the JP source into flowing, natural text in the target language, while taking care to ensure that players in all regions will have comparable emotional experiences.
    Quote from Corvinoobus. I believe the JP Source to be the original source.
