Arcane Gazebo

Classics of SNES Literature

One of my Christmas gifts was the GBA edition of one of the best console RPGs ever, Final Fantasy IV. Among the enhancements to the new version is the third official translation of this script into English. The original was infamous for excessive kowtowing to Nintendo's censorship regime, resulting in pretty bland dialogue. The latest one, on the other hand, asserts its freshness by referencing Real Ultimate Power. (Seriously.)

However, the translation is not completely new. Yes: When Tellah attacks Edward, he still shouts, "You spoony bard!"

It's nice to see that someone at Square/Enix still remembers.
