FFX Silly Subtitles: The Madness Continues
Last time, we left the heroes of Final Fantasy X heading towards Chaucer Temple, near the river of hallucination lights. What strange and wonderful things will we discover about the world of Stila next?
For those just tuning in, these are screenshots from a recorded play-through of FFX that I purchased on eBay. I thought it was an authorized movie edition, but it turned out to be bootleg. The translations range from awkward to incomprehensible-- and the results can be very amusing.
Despite the bad translations, this part has spoilers to the later parts of the story. Final Fantasy X a great game, so if you haven't played it yet... do. Even my sixty-year-old parents love it.

You Got Any Consciousness?
Dona offers sound career advice.
You're one to talk, Wakka!
Now we know what these translators were smoking.
Watch where you aim that thesaurus! (Herbert!?)
Has your mind come to blank?
"Guess I'll just have to be the most jollified!"
Quick! Haul translator #1 out of the closet and make him invent a new name for "Yijie."
Especially if it's a girl with "frightening fists."
Final Fantasy X Fansub Fun: Rename the Farplane!
Your Turn!
Evidently the Farplane was called "Yijie" in Japanese. For once, the guys who brought you "Wendy" and the "Albert Saksy" were stumped. Let's help our erstwhile fansubbers invent a new name for Yijie that will sound familiar to English-speaking audiences!
Please offer your suggestions below. Spam, advertisements, and naughty stuff will be chucked in the catbox, so don't bother!

Why Are You Clapping?
He's confused? You're the ones calling him Mr. Jessica!
There's always valium, I suppose.
Aren't you supposed to be the cheerleader?
Can't be. We haven't even started disk 2!
It's good, but it's not Perrier.
He's clapping while holding a camcorder? Slick.
Boys just wanna have fun.
Icky poo!
Ignorance is bliss.

Happy happy, joy joy.

Spira Is Just Awesome
FFX Fractured Fansub: On to St. Bell
Caught in the Twirl of Death
He is? Then why are the Chubbies attacking his base?
I'd be weirded out if a strange kid walked up and asked me this.
Dona attends church revivals?
Yuna must be utterly deaf.
Uncut line from the All Your Base video?
Tidus wants Cid to deck him again.
Or maybe Spira is just very relaxed about gender.
That may be asking a lot, gramps.
Down, Cid. Down!
Looks fairly visible to me. But then, I don't wear dark glasses indoors.
Alfred?!
For some people, that's the definition of marriage, y'know.
He's creepy, even with bad subtitles.
Maester Mika's a Dead Head!
Er...?
Twirl of death!

Opinion Poll: Gender Bending in Spira
This edition of FFX clearly challenges gender stereotypes and traditional roles. So let's think about this.

Personally, I call it "dark."

Lady Ginnem joins the gender-bending squad.
Let's have another cheer for our favorite team!
Yuck.
Stars are filled with fluorescent worms?
Er... that's grand. I think.
Pope Yunalesca!
Sounds kinky.
I kid you not-- this is their translation of, "Sin is an inevitable part of Spira's fate."
"'Atone' for our crimes? Shoot, I thought you said 'get stoned!'"
Lulu, blunt as usual.
Jecht attempts to keep it PG.

Yet more evidence that the American version of this game was censored.

Gently poke it with tactical nukes!
Oh, no! I'm really intimidated.

Brother's vocabulary has improved awfully fast.
Jecht pulls no punches.
Nor does Tidus. (This is "I hate you," by the way.)
Touching last words... or was that a parting insult?

- The only clue I've got is the Anime Studio watermark. Trouble is, they didn't exactly advertise it as "Bootleg FFX with Bad Translation". The eBay listing depicted it as a legitimate Final Fantasy X Movie DVD.
