By the goddess, Shepard...!

Bioware should never write anything that even vaguely involves sex.

Try playing the translated version of Persona 2: Innocent Sin. Almost the entire game is quotable with awful dialogue. It looked like the idiots that tried to do fan service basically translated the Japanese to English word for word, then added in cuss words randomly to make it seem more natural.

Terrible dialogue can be found in tons of jRPGs, even though I've grown to overlook it and just play them for what they are. Mistmare is another gem that should be quoted more, considering there's so much damn text and it's translated poorly.

Responses #2 and #3 sound really awkward in an otherwise well-written game.

Anyone have screenshots of Prince of Qin's dialogue? Overall it's a pretty good translation but there are some very awkward lines and few that are just WTF?

Yeah, but a dude released a better translation patch recently.

The bomb is us, the bomb is Atom. And thus we are Atom.

So are dialogues in jRPGs only shit due to the translation, while being at PST levels in their japanese originals?

Some dialogues in Anachronox were (purposefully) so bad they were good.

I doubt that even in the original, FF8 has writing radiating with eloquence and scintillating wit.

"I shall kill you... with DEATH!"

Guys this thing called karma actually means karma right? And not reputation? Sweet! We can actually introduce supernatural concepts!

I wanted to kill this NPC, violently. Every time I passed him he would begin "He's coming with the clouds..." in his annoying voice.
