But DBO is still a commercial game, and this is a DBO fansite. Supporting the official DBO translations at a DBO fansite is the choice that makes the most sense. And in the absence of official translations, we should be aiming for translations that are most likely to become official when the game is officially localized.

VIZ translations then? DBO is based on the manga, how come FUNi, which is anime-exclusive, is more likely to be used as a reference for an official English DBO translation? Again, there's simply no good reason to use FUNi's terms.

Inb4 9001 spam about "it's already decided, stop discussing", I'm repeating myself:


but rather in an attempt to understand the reasoning behind this decision.

Everytime I start a DB game, the first thing I do is switch the original language, I'm completely ignorant of the dub since it's never been my thing. I'm pretty sure there are far more than 20 names that are different. The technique Final Flash hadn't had it's name changed since it didn't need a translation and I honestly have no idea what a spirit bomb is. I'm assuming it's a Kikoho variant given the mention of spirit in the name.

The Spirit Bomb is the Genki Dama sir XD

Why argue over such a minor game such as DBO. If you feel so strongly about this issue go argue with Namco-Bandai and other publishers of dragonball games who do official translations for DBZ games. Because they dam don't seem to care about minor things such as translating "Kuririn" to "Krillin"

This is a fan-made patch with Citrinate being the leader of the project so if its his decision then respect it and move on. If you care about this little insignificant issue so much then as I have said before you can go spend your time on replacing all of the names after the patch is developed. If you do not want to do that then don't bother arguing your case. Be happy that this game is finally being translated by people in the community and stop debating over something so little.

I will tell you this - I simply don't give a crap about the Japanese names. I will never get dragonball fans who think Akira Toriyama is some sought of God or some crap. Who gives a crap if he came up with the names and they are not "official translations". Some people, believe it or not, do not care about Japanese translations whatsoever.

You need to understand that names like Krillin is more recognized out here in the west. Did they air the Japanese version of DBZ in English speaking countries? No.

wait a minute here, so you're trying to tell me he's not a God?! haha
some people's panties are just further up their ass than other's
I just want the mess to be in English plain and simple, Krillin could be Kevin for all I care.
I know personally what his name is haha

Because, as far as I'm aware, there's nothing about DBO's story that necessitates or excludes certain translations. What is important is who's behind the game, and I'm not sure I'm aware of any DB games produced by Bandai as of late that don't use Funimation translations.

Once again. We need as many people as possible to understand these terms. And the FUNi dub is more widely used. That is all

Well there you go. Since I'm completely oblivious to the dub I'll just focus my efforts on an alternative patch I'm writing.

I like arguing over the things I'm actually right about.


Firstly, those games are based on the anime. Secondly, they're about profit and not using FUNi's terms wouldn't bring more profit to them, so they don't care. I'd probably do the same if I were the head of those companies.
This case, however, is different, as this is pretty much a fan translation of DBO. Again, someone has yet to provide a good point for why FUNi should be used as a reference.


I'm fine with the fact that it's been already decided. I'm not fine with the reasoning behind this decision.


Not using an opportunity to letting the DBO community know that FUNi terms are actually incorrect, and providing them with the correct ones, IMHO, is not a "little insignificant issue".


If I'm not gonna do a replacement translation, I can't argue? That doesn't make any sense.


I am.


So don't discuss this then? I discuss this because I do care.


I don't think AT is a "God or some crap", if that's what you're implying.


I do. And it's not something weird for a legit fan of DB.


Wow, you don't say?


I'm perfectly aware of that.


Again, they don't do things for correctness or enlightment. They probably don't care about DB, just profit.


DBO doesn't even have the rights to the anime. I can't see how can it be more likely that it's gonna be based on FUNi and not VIZ.
