Once my day-to-day Japanese became a bit more natural I learned that OFTEN the answer to "how would you say XYZ in Japanese" is "you would probably not." Once internalize that, it becomes obvious why Japanese translates to English so differently depending on context.

Early 2000s translations had issues, but I bet the source text is different between these two as well (as in the Japanese text got updated for the remake). Also, I find it funny how nostalgia is mentioned in the 1998 screenshot and that’s exactly what’s affecting people here xD

Can't feel *too* bad for the people who get to work on the translation for a huge game like this, but they have my sympathy re: nostalgic people who think the stilted and confusing original lines here are "pure poetry" or whatever

took top 4 in the Pioneer Showcase Challenge (168 players) with this deck. Qualified for the Showcase next month.
Grabbed a list at random, had to read every other card I drew my first few games, ha ha. Didn't expect to do nearly this well, just wanted to spend excess QP.
