subbed?

Post by RunningRiot »

im sure this has probally been touched upon but i may have missed it, since they (konami) counldnt sync the voices in the cutscenes in english then why couldnt theyve just just had japanese voices with the english text. the bars below look like they would fit the words fine. i can settle with this and im sure many other people who want to play this game would be more than happy with this than nothing at all...ne one?

I think that more than subtitling, Kojima might have been referring to the game's programming and how the language system in the game works. Then again, we don't know for sure if that really is the full scope of the situation.

You won't have to worry about that; they're making great progress on a fan translation of the PSX version. You'll get to play it in English soon.

As far as I know all text will be translated, including dialogue subtitles and any graphics that need to be in English as well. You've come at a good time; some people have been waiting out this project for the past five years.

Everything will be fully in English, just like you had discovered a once-phantasmic English version of the game.

I was really surprised to hear this game got a full translation. I never even knew there was a translation project for this that was making any progress.

I'm looking forward to hearing other people's opinions of this game. I played it just over a year ago and really enjoyed it, but I don't really know anyone else who's ever played through it.

I played a little of the prologue last night (up to the spaceplane). I'm surprised how I can keep going back to it after all this time and still enjoy it as much as my first time. It really is a great ride.

I meant the Japanese version (though the English translation would play side-by-side in my head as I went through it).

We honestly have no idea, dude. It'll be done when it's done.

Here's what the word "save" will look like: セーブ
