If you're thinking that I'm picking on some minor things here, well, you're right. Once again, a minor difference, but one that helps to set the tone. The root of all evil strikes me as a little too melodramatic. PSP: The Church maintains he was a heretic, an inciter of unrest and disturber of the peace. PS1: The church claims he was a blasphemer and anarchist-the root of all evil. It reads a little less like Arazlam is in the habit of having one-sided conversations with mysterious voyeurs from another dimension. Everyone in Ivalice has heard of the War of the Lions. PSP: You are familiar with the War of the Lions, no?Ī minor matter of nuance, but I much prefer the casual assumption that of course you've heard of the War of the Lions. PS1: Have you ever heard of the "Lion War"? This effort would be - not impossible, but certainly much more of a labor - if not for the efforts of Tsogtsaihan Baatar (PS1 script) and Revenant Things (PSP script), who transcribed the assloads of text that is FFT and put it on GameFAQs for all and sundry. In my notes, I use the PSP spellings and terminology I also label scenes by the titles they're given in the PSP version's event viewer. I'm simply putting down the things that I think stand out the most when placed side by side. I'm not quoting the entire thing, because that would be excessively dull. This is the first chapter of the script the rest (and the Brave Story/Chronicle) will be forthcoming as I have the time and energy for them. Mostly, I just wanted to put things next to each other and look at the differences in nuance, and what kinds of interpretative changes those can make. Don't like, don't read I'm sure there are plenty of dudes over on other corners of the internet who would be happy for you to join them in writing plot summaries where every i is replaced with a y and laughing over how hilarious they are. My commentary is pretty obviously opinionated. I didn't start this write-up with the intention of proving one to be better than the other, although the more I look at, the more frankly I wonder how the hell anyone could defend the original over the new script. A number of points factor into these arguments, but one of the big ones is, of course, the script.
Since the port of Final Fantasy Tactics to the PSP, one cannot throw a stone into GameFAQs without creating a small ripple running into another argument over which version of the game is better. It was probably inevitable that I'd do this sooner or later.
