does anyone have the Japanese Version for the Omega bestiary scan:

Shouldn't the English script take priority since it was done first?

Gonna do more extensive updates to my sandboxes later, but I've added the justification for Low 2-C Ultima:

Universe level+ (Created the Interdimensional Rift, a space between worlds that exists beyond time and space[5] that contains it's own cosmos[8])

Looking good

does anyone have the Japanese Version for the Omega bestiary scan:

We do but if the game is made from the ground up this time specifcally for the english audience primarily I feel that should take priority but regardless if you're wanting the raws they say something different they don't really feature statements of strength for most things that we get in the english version of the game and unfortunately Omega falls victim to that as well.

My assumption is that its like the Breath of the Wild/Tears of the kingdom thing where in the japanese versions every item and journal is written from Link's perspective while english is not and is more difect and matter of fact about its entries. Its kinda similar with this

Western translations should likely take priority or be equally as valid bare minimum here since that's squares main audience for this release and was specifically the central point of its development.



Very big focus on being developed for our audiences rather than Japan's



There's like dozens of interviews and articles about thst specifically so here's a couple

'Final Fantasy 16' interview reveals a controversial change for the series

'Final Fantasy 16' seems to be focused on its western audience first and foremost, highlighting a trend Square Enix and Sony are following.

Final Fantasy 16 producer Naoki Yoshida made Game of Thrones mandatory

Game of Thrones was a big inspiration for Final Fantasy 16, whether the RPG makers wanted it to be or not

ftw.usatoday.com

There was another statement that came from one of the live showcases befofe the games release as well where this is said again as well but regardless here is this statement too

"It doesn’t go as overboard as Stranger of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin does with its main character wearing a regular t-shirt. Still, the next mainline entry will deliver a world that feels a lot more like the Westeros from Game of Thrones than it does Ivalice from Final Fantasy XII.

This is part of a larger industry trend in focusing on the North American market over Japan"

We explicitly know English version took priority and that the game was made from ground up with this in mind

Oh I'm not contesting anything, just wanted to know if anyone had the Japanese version of that specific scan

Lmao Cyber asked for the JP scan and got jumped for no reason. Yall need to chill out a bit assuming intent and allat, like instead of assuming Cyber meant JP > English and getting all defensive, just show him where to get the scans lol

Not really an attack at least I wouldn't say that since no one really said anything negative to the man in any capacity after all. Assuming intent now you're right there since we already went through that same song and dance over like 3 pages of back and forth before so it was moreso answering what he wanted to know pre-emptively

We did tell him we have JP scans posted here after all and all we really said is that its not the same description and explained why so no real need to make this some negative thing and a bigger deal than what it is

Apologies since it clearly upset yall tho

anyways all of that aside lol here's the scan
