Default FF: Origins translations

Okay, I got the game now, and.... seriously, are these translations supposed to be MORE accurate? Some of these are really... I mean, I don't see how they got some of these.

Wizard -> Piscodemon
Herb -> Jolt Tonic
Harm, Hrm2, etc. -> Dia 1, Dia 2
Coneria -> Cornelia
OddEye -> Goggler

I'm about to get the mystic key... let's see what THAT'S called..... oh.. okay, it's still mystic key.

Anyway... So far the game is every bit as good as the original, gameplay wise, but with almost EVERYTHING having a different name, it's like... I dunno... it's like it's missing so much that made it such a memorable game in the first place.

DCI Forever!!

I know the feeling. I find myself still calling the ToF the same things, although its been renamed the Temple of Choas. I also called the "Dia" spells Harm too. The games stil the same, the translation is a little different.

I think this new translation is better overall, though.

FF2 is even more different from the Translated ROMs.

most of the original FF1 names come from DnD.... the Piscodeamons had tentacled faces so they named one of the monsters after them...

I caught this while I was gonig through - most of the monster names, while I knew were changed, I didn't care since I couldnt really remember the original. Although I did prefer Imps over Goblins or whatever they're called in origins. And I did prefer Corneria over Cornelia. I'll list all the name changes of locations and people I can think of.

Corneria -> Cornelia
Lukahn -> Lukin
Temple of Fiends -> Temple of Chaos
Elfland -> Elfheim (This one was an improvement, I think.)
Kary -> Marilith (I think)

I know they renamed Mt. Gurgu something. I can't remember what though. But as you were wondering, the Mystic Key is still the Mystic Key. And Dr. Unne is still Dr. Unne. (Actually, you'd be suprised how much the same the two are - I used the maps on Unne's site from the NES version to help me through this one.)

most of the "changes" aren't changes, but corrections. The original name for Kary WAS Marilith. The original name for Wizard WAS Piscodemon. The original name of Harm WAS Dia. I'm glad about some of them actually, since they're not censored, and I loathe censorship.

Fade->Holy
RedBone->Bloody Bone
Zap!->Death

etc. I think some of the graphics are slightly racier too...

Maria = same
so her names "Same" now (joke!)

Guy > Gus
Maybe someone decided to change it for know reason like WOOSLY did


Leonheart > Leon

It was Lion origonly but they work the same in japanese!
Ming-Wu - Mindu
It was Minh in roms but Minu in japan make of it what

Richard > Gareth

Raila > Leila
see Cornea./Conela

Atlea > Altair
Phin > Fynn
Dist > Deist

the rest point less changes that are pronounced the same!
