A Stupid Question

[Fadedkeil]

*looks at title*

is it even a question?

[ForceCube]

Eh...

Come on dude, that's not even worded like a question.

Here, let me show you how it's done:
There's something I've been wondering. I noticed in the Destiny 2 forum that it was said you were going to keep the character names continual with the PS1 Destiny localization, so if it was necessary Woodrow would be Garr and Kongman would be Bruiser (though making Johnny Karyl seemed unwanted).
Now that you're translating this With Woody and Kongman having their normal names, will that still stand?

I don't get why you even made a topic just to ask this question  ; you could of just asked this question in one of the 3 topic that already posted; well 2 actually because I don't count NirvashStarwind topic a topic  just joking NirvashStarwind. Anyways doesn't matter which one is done first as long its done

well I'd take a guess and say that tod2 would be completed first since it was started first(not sure though).

They're not necessarily related since there are different translators working on both. With the amount of text in each, I imagine that the hacking will be completed long before the translation of either.

If I had to take a guess, I'd say Destiny menu patch -> Destiny 2 menu patch -> Destiny -> Destiny 2.

The menu-related technical stuff from both games is finished, and I guess dealing with script text hacking is far less complicated (is it?), so yeah, I'd say it pretty much depends only on the translators from now on.

[Penance]

well it's throughhim with Destiny and we all know we can count on throughhim! 

[MarkShark]

Looks like my question would be better spent on the Destiny 2 board asking what those translators think they should do then.

ToDr and ToD2 will be consistent with eachother, that's for sure.
They will both be borrowing some stuff from ToD PSX while some other stuff will be reverted back to their original names. Though, in the case of "original names" we may or may not be straying away from the more common direct and blunt romanizations, and instead opt for putting a bit more life into some of them. They will certain not be straying away from the source material or anything, and they should be fully recognizable for people who're used to ye olde internet romanization, but hopefully... in any individual case where this may apply; the goal is for them to make more sense (especially in terms of pronounciation).

In other words: The main goal is to make sure that the best decisions are made in each and every case. So there's no overall decision. Only individual cases.

Something I've personally been tinkering with as of lately is finding possibilities as for why something was changed and why it was changed into something in the first place (in the old official translations, that is)
