Get off the N3th dude, most of them are either humble enough to understand that they don't know everything. Or just don't care to get JLPT for higher one, because at this point you just dont care, coz you already can be hired and work. Don't compare them to those idiots!
Not sure what you want to say here man. I'm not talking down to everyone with an N3 if that's what you think. I'm saying N3 just as an example because that's level where people can read stuff but don't understand the nuances behind sentences. That's exactly the feeling i get from comparing the original work and their "localized" crap. Then on Twitter they have the same hollier than thou attitude as the people still putting Japanese on a pedestal and no one but them may understand it. It's a subset of learners you often see around the mid-level.

Hell, Japanese Universities demand N2 just to start their courses so that's the language level of a HIGHSCHOOLER. I'm saying these morons are N3 because their Japanese level is that of a middle schooler at best yet they have flowery explanations for the shit they do as if they are fluent in the language. Just...don't. I'm N1 and that's nowhere near fluent. I just can't stand it when people who are clearly lower level than i am talk shit as if they're better than me, that's all.

Not to discourage anyone from learning JP with the JLPT talk. If you just put in the work with Japanese you will soon see how much of a clown these guys are. In a better world we shouldn't have to, just to enjoy some Entertainment. But here we are.

Its that most people who even works in Japan, tend to stop at N3. When you get N3 you can get hired, and after that its more about your CV and portfolio and people you know than arbitrary JLPT standarts. And because of that, a lot of N3 are actually waaay above their level.

For example i work in scientific field. I have no Japanese beyound basic level, and i work with bunch of gaijins and some of them have published works on Japanese. Guess what level they have? 3. It just, you just don't care at that point, more important is who you are than JLPT level.

Then these people are clearly not who i'm talking about so what the hell's your problem? Just because someone you know stop taking a test doesn't mean everyone who took the test has a better skill level than what the test implies. It's not like i'm disagreeing with you. I'm talking about Lolcalizer who obviously are low level in Japanese. The JLPT is still the most used standard to determine your JP proficiency so i used it as an example. If you don't like it then that's your problem.

Anyway, stop derailing the thread lol.

None, just defending poor N3s who you shoveled into same piles as those degenerates.

There is acturally a lot of criticism what can be leveled against JLPT test. Hell japanese people level it against it. Saying that JLPT doesn't reflect persons ability of Japanese that well. But that the best we have i agree.
Anyway, stop derailing the thread lol.
Sure :D

Have fans ever released patches or mods to correct FE localization in the past?

Correct. It's time people realize that's these people are not just incompetent morons (though they are), they are literally INVADERS. They are not here to make this stuff for the fans who make the IP what it is today, they are here to change and pervert the work into something that suits their agenda. Fighting for victims that doesn't exists, changing things no one asked for, taking the moral highground when they themselves have none, etc... The same thing is going on with American media as a whole. These people don't see anything wrong with what they do because it is a CULT. Religion didn't disappear. The people who are receptive to it just invent a modern version instead.

They are playing the long con too. In 10 years no one will remember the original works because there exist a "better version" that is updated for a modern audience. If old fans don't fight back and they keep pushing this crap then eventually their version is the only one the new generation will ever see.

“The translation is not for you”

Bruh, since when the fuck is translation for someone? It’s a translation, its supposed to be for everyone. That’s like saying the 1+1 is 3 today because the math isn’t for you.

lol, just more evidence of those faggots wanting to try and destroy anime releases in the west. They've been trying to collapse the market in the US for over a decade now.

People always defend them because "why would someone want to take down their own job?" Maybe you should realize just how petty people can be. There have been dozens of posts from lolcalizers and voice actors stating how much they hate anime and the customer base going all the way back to 2008. Things have only gotten progressively worse since then.

I really do hope the western anime industry completely collapses just so all these losers can realize how little that will impact things.

Edit: Oh right, just for some perspective. The US market for anime barely makes up 1% (could be slightly higher now) of the industry total. Nearly all profits are local to Japan only.

That "corrected" reprint of the manga has yet to come out (no pun intended) and I wonder how much damage control Seven Seas had to do since the creator and publisher caught wind of thier fuck up.
Looks like the reprint has been released some point this month on digital platforms, at least. Ethylene Scans, the guys at the beginning of this entire thing, gave it a glowing review (archive)

I'm not great at Japanese yet but it does seem like it's significantly improved, and I enjoy that Ethylene Scans are willing to provide lots of detail.
