Oppa, in its most basic form, is a word that a younger female sibling would use to address her older male brother. It's about how Han Min-yeo's character uses the term "oppa" in nuanced ways. I came across a "Squid Game" meme that speaks to this more eloquently than I ever could. Especially with subtitles, this has to be done under the restriction of character limit and formatting constraints. Translation and interpretation attempt to recreate that bridge with a different audience that's not within the same cultural geography. Language is an invisible bridge that connects the speaker to the audience inside a specific and defined sociocultural proximity. You have to convey a meaning that's necessarily couched within a localized and era-sensitive context. Translation is a recreation of the language arts, not a mechanical transcription. Having said that, I truly appreciate the art form that Korean-English translation can be. It also conveys the sense of ironic euphemism that informs the original Korean expression. For example, I think using "disqualified" instead of "eliminated," for when a contestant fails and is shot is a more accurate translation. Indeed, I also came across some points of language that I thought could have been conveyed better. So, I took a natural interest when I saw how the English translation of some of the Korean linguistic features in "Squid Game" triggered an international debate. As a Korean American who's bicultural, I have been interpreting and translating my share of Korean-English for the last 20 years plus, albeit not professionally. No reason just wasn't really into it that much.All the controversy around the translation of "Squid Games" got me thinking, for the first time in a long time, about how things really do get lost in translation. Closed game like someone above me said just didn't live up to expectations, and I just didn't like P/A. I would have to leave out Closed Game and P/A. Not the biggest fan of femdom so I would put it second but still overall a great game. Bradley said: Okay, seriously, this took a long time for me to start caring about the characters, but i.ĭominancE was a fresher take on things and a little less extreme than Starless and Lewdness, with a high amount of femdom. The Empress Game has 845 ratings and 147 reviews. Closed GAME Shokai Genteiban (Character Set) toyyo. (C82) The Empress' Bedchambers (Highlight 2). I know Lewdness is basically more Starless with perverted school girls, but I'm a fan of that hardcore fetish genre, and I would think most other fans would agree. My votes would have to be Lewdness ~Vita Sexualis~ in first place, and DominancE in second. I personally would love to see more games by EMPRESS. Not saying closed game is a bad game in itself here, just DONT go in expecting seriousness, or a deeper/profound meaning. To make it short, closed game feels like a weird attempt in fusing starless & be-yond together, so one is better off reading those 2 seperately than going for it instead. Guess there´s no writer who´s safe from having a bad day once in his life and regrettably even the great izumi ban´ya being no exception to that rule.
Heck even the 'villains' were more annoying than of a fearsome nature. Or are you saying that it was just so over-the-top that it strained believability too hard? Nah it was meant in the opposite way, at least that´s what i believe, though it doesnt matter because the whole stuff turned out hillarious. Said: XReaper, out of curiosity, was Closed Game a comedy or meant to be one? (dont even make me remember those testosteron-driven spaceslime-ish creatures that tend to favour pleasing females of all kind in a laughable rude & violent manner. Had quite high hopes for that one, especially when considering who´s worked on it, but the result.Ĭant really say i was pleased by its outcome, felt way too much like some parody of sorts. Worth noting is that none of the examples are nowhere near as ambitious as Starless content-wise, which should theoretically make them a bit more manageable for a small studio, but what do I know If there's an interest, what would you like to see localized? To me personally closed game fell as much flat as it could possibly have. I hope this means JAST will take on some of their other titles as well. Judging by some staff comments it seems that JAST has a pretty decent relationship with Will/Empress after the English release of Starless last year. My suggestion for future JAST projects would be to bring more Empress games to the west.
