''A sword with a long, narrow blade made for thrusting''

Gotta love the new translation on the GBA :)
 
I just bought it in Albrook's Weapon shop. I thought the GBA version is supposed to be more of an accurate translation, so thats gone out the window if its a typo and/or error haha
 
LOL! I'll have to buy the GBA version someday.

I first saw this at the top of the main page and I though this thread was going to be someone making fun of Cloud's buster sword.
 
I got the rom last night with thanks to a very helpfull member here :) Its great but some of the new translation is wank.

For example, and you may want to sit down for this: Son of a submariner is now Son of a.....SANDWORM!!!! damn it to hell!
 
Gah! Son of a submariner was so much better and funnier!

sandworm just sounds....well stupid. Not that submariner was witty or anything but it had that randomness to it.
 
Exactly. There quite the few changes like that im not a fan of atm. However the Esper 'Stray' has now been renamed 'Cait Sith'!

....I'm still on the fence about that one, I quite liked Stray.

CAIT SITH! Ugh I really don't like that! I like Cait Sith and all but why do they have to throw him into every final fantasy now! It just looks odd that he is now sort of in VI. Is it now a Cait Sith cat that gets summoned now?

Stray>Cait Sith
 
i got this from ebay yesterday - it arrived yay ^_^ and yeah i noticed the son of a sandworm line- mark was not happy let me tell you that :lol: but anyway thanks for the tip lol ill be on the lookout for the "Basterd Sword"
 
ah not cait sith he sucks leave it as stray! and moonchild you got far already huh?;)
 
Its been awhile since I summoned Stray on the older ones, maybe I'll check later....

But Stray kinda looks like Cait Sith anyways right? does on this but not identical to VII.

Tritoch has been renamed to something rather longer, can't spell it right now tho. I've seen people dislike that change but I quite like it actually. and Atma has been reverted back to Ultima like it original should have been in the enlish versions.
 
I once used him to beat Ruby Weapon... with out using KOTR.

The battle went pretty fast too. I want to use Aeris sometime to do the same but I'd need gameshark first.

But Cait Sith does NOT belong in VI. Unless that summon decides to betray your party.

Caith Sith is a cat in scottish folklore or sommit like that, so maybe its not meant to be a direct referance to the fat marsh mellow one in VII.
 
Problem is is that Cait Sith is the name of a character in another game.

It would be like renaming one of espers Cloud. It just wouldn't work.
