@Anon 2: Then I take it you at TV Tropes would rather they go back to calling Tonberries "Pugs?" Or perhaps you think attack names like "CleanSweep" and "Goner" are so much cooler than "Tsunami" or "Forsaken?" Or maybe you just don't like that Shadow will no longer "slit his momma's throat for a nickel," despite the fact that people use gil and not nickels in the FF universe.
No. I've compared the two translations, and the Woolsey version really is shit. Was he good at getting RPGs localized at the time? Absolutely. Was he good at staying faithful to the original text? Absolutely not.
