ITT: games that need competent retranslations. (I have no idea

Why did it end up being such a mess in the first place? Most of the time what the characters say doesn't even make sense.

It was a real trip. You mostly know where to go and what to do, and the gameplay is simplistic, but the story is like...wut. They might as well had released it with Japanese text.

Simon's Quest and Final Fantasy Tactics come to mind. There's romhacks for both, of course, but it's hard to believe they were playtested in English at all.

Others have said that it's apparently a very straight and literal translation from Japanese, which resulted in English words but absolutely none of our language's nuances

Irvine staged a bunch of terrorists attacks in order to get the world leaders under his hand as preparation for when the real threat comes.

He then had sex with his sister and that made the final boss.

Irving was awesome.

FFT got a better translation with the PSP version, though I guess it comes down to your ability to take in that old timey english they went with, still it was better and algus was even more biting in that game

Yeah, I prefer the PSP version too, the old timey English never bothered me but I could see why people would take issue with it - just being able to understand what the fuck was even going on was a big plus.

Basically Manzai comedy acts and an extraterrestrial Lizard that speaks only in historical Japanese poetry forms, none of it comes across very well in English

Even in Japanese the script is kind of unusual and doesn't do a lot of explaining about what's going on, you're just pulled along on this wild train ride

Samurai Flamenco the videogame pretty much.
