First time poster here. I finally got the flip mod for my PS2 this weekend and I can now play the ToD2 my brother bought me for Christmas!

I tried it last night and though I can understand most of what they say, reading it is more challenging since I have to look up the Kanji. The hard part is that my kids keep making noise making it hard for me to hear them so I was thrilled to find your project!

I can't wait to try it out and see how much is translated. If I run into Japanese that hasn't been translated yet and I translate it, should I just submit it to you somehow?

And last point, can you ban anyone who asks for English dubs? Seriously. People actually ASK for that? That's like saying "hey, you know what would be really cool right now? A ROOT CANAL! But only if they use a rusty drill. Man... that would be sweet"

Ugh.

seriously?? i love english dubs. good english dubs > japanese audio any day of the week. final fantasy xii and tales of the abyss being the more obvious recent favorites i can think of.

emphasis on good. which, unfortunately, isn't as commonplace as i'd like, yet.

I think I just threw up a little in my mouth. Of course, I realized you didn't mean for everything and are talking about games which ~generally~ have decent dubs compared to Anime.

I agree that FF12 was good and so was X (my favorite game of all the series), but the Japanese is still better. They emote with more force and devotion. The dubbers always sound like they're afraid to be too loud indoors and hold back. It's embarassing.

For a comparison, just check out youtube for various scenese in both english and then Japanese.

A number of regulars on this forum prefer or are at least indifferent to English dubbing and complete localization. Myself included. I wish I could provide at least a half-decent dub option for my projects, but if you have that kind of money, you might as well try to bribe the official companies with it.

What I don't want here is the tired, never-ending sub vs. dub argument.

No argument intended. Either way, I'm just as happy with the original Japanese so great job I can't try the mod out yet, but I look forward to doing so.
