>But then the movie makes another contrast that doesn't work so well, a contrast between basic views of theatrical acting styles. British tradition suggests that, everything else being equal, actors should behave as if they were real people in a real situation. The Japanese tend toward a more overwrought acting style, made of screams and grimaces, histrionics and dramatizations.
>Each tradition works well enough in a movie where it is the only tradition. But in a movie where British and Japanese are on the screen at the same time and are apparently sharing the same reality, the results look odd, and eventually undermine the film. We wonder, in some small irreverent corner of our minds, whether the soft-spoken British notice that the Japanese rant and rave over everything, including the weather, and whether the Japanese, in turn, find the British catatonic.

>Japanese are good at writing
I'm not so sure. Any person can write well, but bad training undermines. It feels like a huge bulk of Japanese writers fall prey to really glaring problems of plotting and dialogue. I mean, really good translators can massage the dialogue into sharp English prose, but the plotting is always an issue. Naoki Urasawa is an amazing writer, perhaps one of the best manga writers Japan has ever produced. But if you actually sit down and read Monster and Pluto and 20th Century Boys, you notice how contrived the events of the story are. Japanese writers seemingly never learned that the two most important characters in the story bumping into each other for no plausible reason is not good plotting and/or character development.
Japanese writers also frequently mistake plot twists for character development. Instead of character who grow naturally from events that occur in the story, you just have twists like, "OMG I'm half demon or some shit."

Are you seriously fucking calling a manga writer one of the best writers Japan has ever produced?
I struggle to think of a single Japanese game where the dialogue from start to finish flows like English language poetry. English translators sometimes manage to wrangle a great line or two, but I've never seen a Japanese game with dialogue like Max Payne 1/2. I'm not sure a Japanese writer can write that kind of dialogue unless they become fluent in English. The Japanese language barrier is a real thing. Japanese infers subjects constantly. That's why you get those super clunk lines about:
"Oh, so what did THAT PERSON have to say about this?"
"I'll never event what happened during that PARTICULAR EVENT 11 YEARS AGO."
"Could they be talking about... HIM?"
"I'm a spy for a CERTAIN ORGANIZATION."

Japanese is a wacky language that translates terribly into English. You get weird dialogue like, "Do you think maybe we're forgetting because we're losing our memories?" Kingdom Hearts is full of this shit. Perhaps citing KH is cheating because of how infamously bad its writing is.

No clue about the Japanese ver but Japanese writing has this irritating tendency to keep repeating itself. Where an English writer would say something like, "Stay dead," a Japanese writer would say something like, "Those that are killed should remain killed." This is the root cause of that "People die when they are killed" meme.

>Star of the Giants (1968), the "first" sports anime, was a pioneer of dramatitized moments under that format. It was a color anime, very dramatic, and used unique animation techniques for the time. It's the foundation for both the shounen and sports genre. There is an episode where the main character pitches a ball, and it takes the entire episode for it to land. The runtime is filled with the monolgues from Hyuuma, the main character, the other players, and the onlookers. It was the first anime to do an episode like that, and as you know, it's a very prevalent tropes today in many action series. There are many other tropes that originated from it as well.

It was a crunch-driven shitshow involving multiple studios. Dan Houser was the main writer so the game kinda gets attributed to him.

I'm scared for the FF7 remake purely for the writing. The writing wasn't amazing in the original, and translated even worse, but it wasn't as full of cliches as games are now. Someone says something in a jap game, talking about
>"I'M FIGHTING FOR WHAT I BELIEVE IN BLAHBLAH"
>"Roshi...."
Shit is so predictable and no fun at all. Nothing sounds natural. God I hate jap writing.
MGS are the worst written games in the history of gaming
beat me to it. I was going to say, for something to have flowing and lyrical dialogue despite having been translated from Japanese, it would need to 1) be written by a smooth Japanese writer, and 2) be translated/localized by a translator who is also a smooth English writer, and who, incidentally, feels fairly liberated to stray from the particularities of the original script since the language doesn't do so well when translated directly. then you might have arbitrary restrictions like fitting text boxes / lip sync on top of that.
basically, since it needs to get filtered twice, the odds are exponentially lower. by way of a theoretical, I imagine that if there was a Japanese dub of Max Payne, the writing would be significantly less impressive to Japanese players
You are not wrong my friend
Not quite. "If he dies, he dies" is a kind of English sing-sing. You prepare to disarm a bomb. Before you cut the wire, you say, "If it blows, it blows." It's a way of saying that what will be, will be.
The Japanese version literally isn't saying anything. It's a Japanese language quirk. It's a result of how Japanese phrasings tend to be quite roundabout. What is actually being said will be repeated for no real reason that is apparent in English. The most notorious form of this is the whole repeating nouns as questions thing from Metal Gear games.

Yeah, you really blew me away. No let's compare two turn based RPGs: Octopath Traveller, which you masturbate over, with Divinity: Original Sin II... ouch, your game is bland shit.
The official languages in Finland are Swedish and Finnish. If a group of Fins so poor they couldn't afford to pay actors to be in their low budget game could write fluid English dialogue, what is the excuse of big budget Japanese game creators? Look at how amazingly awful the dialogue in Resident Evil games was for many years.

Nope, PC posting.
That's kinda my point. People in heaps of countries around the world can speak English fluently. Or at least passably enough to write dialogue that sounds graceful in English. But Japan has this weird isolationist thing going on where heaps of otherwise well educated people can barely speak English. Kojima is an interesting exception, BTW. He seemingly learned English at some point, and apparently runs the English language Kojima account.
>But Japan has this weird isolationist thing
Gee, I wonder why? It's not like they've historically been isolationist and only ever been welcoming to the west at gunpoint or worse.
>isn't usually just a case of something getting lost in the translation
Yes, But literally. They cut the dead weight and redundancy a lot and add a little flair to the writing. Japanese writing is very on the nose. There is no such thing as subtlety in Japan. Every character will explicitly explain their feelings, their motivations, etc., etc. ad nauseam because it's assumed the audience are autistic retards that wouldn't be able to infer it. And most of the time that's true when speaking about the Japanese. To the west, who aren't a bunch of autistic pedos, it's very boring writing.
>jrpg male: "..."
For example, when the west stick lines like this in what they are replacing is usually something very dry and to the point, e.g. "This makes me sad and upset." That sort of shit in English is just objectively terrible writing. In the west we understand silence itself says something. They Japs don't.

Consider that the final version of Tears in Rain was written by a German actor. An accomplished poet, to be exact.

You get someone from Germany, from France, from Italy, from Russia even. You give them a decent grasp of English, and they can wring out beautiful prose. Japanese poets? Not so much. I guess Japanese is so different to the European languages that there's this wall that is very difficult for them to overcome. Japanese poetry is lovely in Japanese. But they can't make the jump like a German could. The way they think about prose doesn't carry. They have to spend years re-learning.
why did he have to die bros
>Consider that the final version of Tears in Rain was written by a German actor. An accomplished poet, to be exact.
The only thing he added was "like tears in rain" to the end, the cheesy part of the speech. The rest was in the script.
>The rest was in the script.
Wasn't the original script for the scene way too long and had to be cut down by him.
well, then you should understand already that it isn't a matter of competence or a knock on the country's ability to write.
Max Payne was written in English for the English market. when you're playing Max Payne in English, you aren't playing a translation, you're playing the writer's original vision. they were capable of doing this despite being a bunch of Finns because 1) most people in SUOMI speak pretty damn good English in the first place, and 2) they knew that a majority of their players were going to come from the wider English speaking market, not just Finland. English is basically the language of commerce and mass media in the entire western hemisphere.
on the other hand, consider a typical Japanese game. it's theoretically possible for a Japanese game's script to be conceived of and written entirely in English. there are like 80 million people there or something, I'm sure they could scrounge up a fluent bilingual writer if they really wanted to. but would they want to? Japanese games are usually targeted towards the Japanese market, which represents either a majority or a very significant minority of the sales for a typical Japanese game. so why would you write the script in English and then translate into Japanese? you'd just be making the development process that much more difficult.
now obviously most Japanese games are written like shit. but so are most western games. naturally, this leads us to compare the most outstanding examples of each, right? but if the metric you're attempting to compare is lyrical fluency, and you're comparing English language compositions against translated snippets of text from one of the languages most alien in structure to English, then you shouldn't even bother because you ought to know ahead of time which will come out ahead. if there's some jap equivalent to Max Payne or what have you out there, I imagine it's something we English only players never heard of, because any attempt to translate it would suck
No, the speech is identical in the original script except instead of
>All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain

Tears in rain is one of the greatest metaphors for the human experience ever coined. In a single sentence he explained what it was to be a man.
Also:
>Quite an experience to live in fear, isn't it? That's what it is to be a slave.
If Blade Runner were Japanese, characters would have repeated WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A SLAVE????? Every 10 minutes for the entire 2 hour run time just so audiences understand that living in fear is the essence of being a slave. When Roy died, the movie would have entered a 10 minute sepia toned flashback explaining what it meant to be a slave with character narration. Then they would have had a 15 minute monologue about what "Tears in rain" means because that's literally how Japanese stuff is written. They assume the audience are complete retards.
max payne was written in english because sam lake is a huge fan of film noir and americana in general and he studied english filology in university so obviously he's gonna write a script in english. japs in general arent well versed in english or interested in it so they just do scripts in japanese and outsource localization to some overseas teams.

So like the original cut with Deckard's monologues.
You say that like the FPS genre doesn't revolve around consoles these days. The Japs have tried to make FPS games in the past, they just really suck at it. They aren't even all that good a TPS, to be honest. Mikami is the best they have and he does well enough but he's not as good as the west.
This
Binary Domain was competent
Back in the day, Swedes really weren't good with English. The members of ABBA could barely speak it in interviews. Still, Sweden has a way better grasp of English than Japan.
In recent years a huge amount of pop has been written by Swede Max Martin. He's the one who misunderstood the phrase "hit me up" meaning "give me a call". He wrote the song "Hit Me Baby One More Time" because he didn't realise Hit Me wasn't the same thing as Hit Me Up.
that is a neat additional detail about Sam Lake that I did not know. I mean obviously he's a fan of film noir because Max Payne exists, but the studying philology part. thank you for sharing user

Nah, Deckard's monologues were typical noir narration that in no way padded out the run time. Japan in fairly unique in their affinity for filler bullshit. It's a hangover of manga and anime writing where padding a single punch over literal chapters was seen as acceptable. In order to make that work you had to have characters narrative every intimate detail of what it really means to DEMONSTRATE MY TRUE POWER because BREAKING MY LEGS ONLY MAKES ME STRONGER BECAUSE THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP.
Some languages seque easier into the other. Japanese is not one of those. The reason you hear broken english and the ridiculous fucking accents is because not even their vowel structure is really fit to reproduce English words.
>fps plays great on mouse but japans market is console focused
Every FPS made in the last 15 years has been primarily designed around controllers unless it's some low-budget indie FPS on Steam.

For a very long time japanese people have been hesitant to learn english, since they basically consider it a form of cultural death.
In a way they're right, since your country's culture is largely dictated by the language you speak. The less you speak other people's language the more your own culture will be maintained. This is has changed dramatically in recent years though and like most countries japs do want to learn english. They have gotten much better at speaking in just a decade.
>Tears in rain is one of the greatest metaphors for the human experience ever coined. In a single sentence he explained what it was to be a man.
No, it doesn't. It's just cheesy wank. The connection we were supposed to make with Batty through the whole film was his intense desire to live. They fucking bash you over the head with it relentlessly.
>I watched him die all night. It was a long, slow thing and he fought it all the way. He never whimpered and he never quit. He took all the time he had... as though he loved life very much... every second of it... even the pain. Then he was dead.

That says volumes more.
Out of curiosity, do conventional ballads even exist in traditional Japanese music? Like, did Japan even have an equivalent of something like, "Don't Take Your Guns To Town" or was that introduced to them later?
Sam Lake does, for starters
