FF16: How does the language of the game affect your experience?
Square Enix has a great history of translating its games, but the Japanese publisher’s approach is somewhat unique. Unlike other game publishers, Square Enix takes a straightforward approach to translation.
For FF16, The game was written in Japanese before being translated into English for free, the English dub was recorded before the Japanese and French dubs. This may come as a surprise, as most publishers choose to use indirect translation, where international editions are translated from English.
For those of you who have played Final Fantasy XIV, Final Fantasy XV, Final Fantasy VII Remake English with French subtitles, as you may have noticedVocabulary varies greatly from language to language. This is quite surprising considering that Square Enix is one of the few publishers to directly translate its main games from Japanese into all other languages.
This inconsistency in dialogues is disorienting, especially when one expects the English version of the game to be more faithful to the original. However, for a true gaming experience that stays true to the original intent of the developers, A Japanese version with French subtitles would be preferred.
