The re-translation mod for Unicorn Overlord has been released!
This isn't just a quick patch-up of the English script, but an almost complete re-translation of the entire work.
Work on this mod has been underway since last year.
More info in the post below.
The Xenoblade 2 Retranslation Mod is already working on Switch 2. Since there isn't a lot of new text and the files are ~96% compatible with the Switch 1 version, you can expect a fairly quick release.
@BigGyaru This mod is intended only for the Switch version. The game must be fully updated. The emulator should be reasonably up-to-date (from what I've seen, people are still using Citron, which has been obsolete and unsupported for a long time).
@Gorgonner6@Mofumofu_Ship2 Exactly. If the creators wanted a more fantasy-sounding name, they would probably use ๅฆ็ฒพ.
However, I don't know if it makes sense to get into arguments with people who are clearly acting in bad faith, rather than trying to help create a better translation.
@Mofumofu_Ship2 Finally, emphasizing that you're Japanese-American doesn't establish the validity of your interpretation either. Arguments stand on their merits, not on someone's nationality or ancestry.
@Mofumofu_Ship2 And if you consider a localization that systematically rewrote the register, characterization, and tone of ordinary Japanese dialogue merely "a bit loose," then I suspect we have fundamentally different standards for what constitutes an accurate translation.
@Msdeq12F Thanks for the screenshots. I'll take a closer look at some other dialogue boxes to see if there are any line breaks that look off. I'll post an update within two days. If you find anything else, let me know.
@Scratch_Point_Z To be honest, I think their intentions are more vile than just being brats with brains soaked in TikTok brain rot. Keep in mind that this isn't a new problem.
