Hey, sorry to send an ask without us knowing each other 😅
But I just saw you in the tags in the post about jrpg translations, saying that FF14 has better translations in other languages.
Can you talk more about that?😊
I played in English before and it was okay. I tried German too, but was a bit disappointed. So hearing you say that, I'm genuinely curious to hear more!
I've been replaying msq in german and wrapped up tsukuyomi just yesterday and it's insane the extent to which german is more thematically consistent and has stronger and more nuanced characterisation than english. i think the german script is more poetic too, despite english trying so much harder to sound flowery and important. I've been translating bits and pieces to my friends and I keep feeling like I'm presenting them with that botched jesus painting restoration because I just don't know how to convey how beautifully constructed some of these sentences are. the german translation team are genuinely very good writers.
as an example of what kind of differences we're dealing with here, and since it's what I finished most recently, in german from the start there's a lot more emphasis on how it was systematic mistreatment from the "good old" doma that lead yotsuyu to where she is, and that her cruelty is specifically retribution for the way doma has failed her (as opposed to english trying to frame it as in large part to satisfy her personal sadistic impulses). gosetsu is repeatedly shown to be sympathetic towards her for this even while she's actively trying to hurt and kill him (as opposed to english having him be sarcastically dismissive of her), which makes it make way more sense that he'd take tsuyu in his care later even without the "also she reminds him of his dead daughter" bit (that they do still tack on at the end but doesn't feel like a handwave excuse as much because of aforementioned consistent sympathy).
in english hien has several lines showing he's hostile to and wary of tsuyu and waiting for the right opportunity to kill her, but in german hien brings up killing tsuyu one (1) time and when gosetsu argues for her right to live hien agrees, and the difficulty in keeping her around is not his personal dislike but that it's hard to guarantee her safety when the doman people will want violent retribution in turn (in clear parallel to lyse trying to keep fordola from getting lynched without a fair trial). because german hien is not constantly talking about how he wishes he could just kill yotsuyu for her crimes, it doesn't read as pathetically incompetent of him to let her sneak out of the mansion multiple times because he was treating her as harmless citizen of doma instead of an enemy of the state (because german in general emphasises a lot that she SHOULD have had a place in doma), and her backstory is taken seriously as part of his motivation to create a better doma that she perhaps could've had a peaceful life in
there are many cases like this where german displays a nuance that english doesn't, and from very early on. in english arr cid ran away from the empire out of moral disagreements, in german it's clear that he also holds a complicated resentment over losing his father to project meteor and then his replacement father figure gaius to a similar mad search for power, something that in english doesn't come up until all the way in shadowbringers with bozja. in english castrum meridianum livia says she's going to kill you because gaius is hers, in german she's mad at you because you killed her friend mr cape westwind and is going to kill you before you can take gaius from her too.
in german heavensward thordan sounds much more convinced of his principles. when you defeat him in english he's horrified of how you could possibly overcome the amount of faith he's powered by, in german he's horrified that the future of ishgard will be thrown into chaos in the name of your pursuit of truth. gaius sounds more convinced of the ideals he spouts too, and it feels more plausible that he has people willing to die for him and his ideals. in german the similarities between nidhogg and estinien are clearer, and when nidhogg possesses him he insidiously frames it as an act of kindness.
in german, many random moments of misogyny in the english script outright don't exist. matoya doesn't make fun of alphinaud for looking like a girl. alphinaud isn't dismissive of alisaie in binding coils. most of the lines in english that insult or dismiss yotsuyu as an evil whore don't exist in german, and lines that weren't about her at all in english turn out to express sympathy towards her in german. in english hydaelyn had minfilia fuse with her by force, in german it was minfilia's idea. in english i was bothered by lyse being made head of the resistance because she sounds so unsure of what to do and think right until the end, in german she's full of conviction and clarity of purpose. I'm sincerely convinced the english team hates women.
because german doesn't go out of its way to sound like some kind of ancient wizard prophecy at every turn, several scenes which in english were confusing convey their information clearly in german (I'm particularly thinking about the minfilia anitower scene here). characters talk clearly and with a lot of personality that english fails to achieve because everyone has to speak faux old english. and because most characters talk like real people instead of ancient wizards in german it's extra cute that urianger does in fact talk like an ancient wizard.
as a more personal gripe, I have noticed several moments where the english script centers the warrior of light and their importance and struggles, while in german those scenes where about, like, the character the scene is about. german wol is still hydaelyn's favourite freak of nature and everyone loves them obviously, but as the example most fresh in my memory there's the scene in early post-stb where you visit fordola in her cell and she unwillingly looks into wol's past thanks to her fake echo. in english, she asks wol how they can bear all the suffering other people have put them through. in german, she asks how wol manages to stay sane when the echo makes you so deeply aware of the suffering of others. in the flashback of her past you see in that scene the german script also mentions that her face tattoo is an ala mhigan design, which makes it clearer than it was in english that she was specifically trying to rise the ranks of the imperial military as ala mhigan and makes her motivations more coherent - namely wanting to prove both the ala mhigans who hated her for being garlean and the garleans who hated her for being ala mhigan wrong by achieving success as both (and the power to lash out at both).
there have been very, very few moments where I actually thought the english script was better (shiva's trial lines and like, one line hien says at the steppe, that's it), and the vast majority of the time german is anywhere from about the same quality as english to just insanely better. the english script is so concerned with sounding cool and important that it becomes scared of letting characters be motivated by emotion. it's plagued by the kind of insincerity and insecurity that plagues so much of western media and leads to movie superheroes making fun of their own costumes. the english script will write one good line and then keep repeating that line ad nauseam and yet still fail to achieve the amount of internal thematic consistency the german script has, because english is relying on this handful of cool lines to carry its emotional core instead of actually letting the emotional core drive the characters. combined with the consistent pattern of dumbing down and/or vilifying female characters frankly I want to beat koji fox with hammers.
I'm actually very curious what about the german script disappointed you. the german voice acting is not good so if that's what turned you off I completely get it (I play with jp voices myself) but that's separate from the actual writing. these kind of things will ultimately always come down to personal preference so i won't judge but as you can tell from these several paragraphs i feel very strongly about the quality of the german script so I find it hard to imagine why you think that

Cathengard Navy Frigate - Westferry Docks
I.C.S. Kestrel is an Intrepid-class Frigate of the Imperial Cathengard Navy.
The Intrepid class is a common vessel with 64 constructed in total. They were designed to be versatile and serve multiple roles such as patrolling trade routes, anti-piracy missions and escorting larger vessels. So far, 3 have been sunk in battle, 5 sold to allied nations and 1 ship (I.C.S. Westwind) vanishing without a trace.
Many young, ambitious Naval officers hope to be assigned to Frigates due to their frequent deployment and greater opportunities for distinction and promotion in comparison to serving on the larger capital ships.

Look for examples of projects similar to yours to gauge their expertise and quality of craftsmanship. This step will give you an idea of the contractor's style and capabilities.
Step 4: Ask for References
Request references from the contractors on your shortlist. Contact previous clients to inquire about their experiences working with the contractor. Ask about communication, timeliness, budget adherence, and overall satisfaction. This step will provide valuable insights into how the contractor operates.
Step 5: Get A Professional Quote
Obtain detailed quotes from a general contractor in El Paso. Ensure the quote includes a breakdown of materials, labor, and a proposed timeline for your project. Comparing quotes will help you identify any discrepancies and make an informed decision.

Effective communication is key to a successful construction project. Evaluate how well you communicate with each contractor and assess their willingness to listen to your ideas and concerns. Choose a contractor with whom you feel comfortable and confident.
Step 7: Review Contracts Carefully
Before signing any contracts, carefully review all terms and conditions. Ensure that everything discussed, including timelines, payments, and warranties, is documented in writing. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to ask questions for clarification.

mmo gamer rising: revengeance
ffxivwrite2021 #19 (free day): oblivion
⮞ light ryne/gaia, lunya/g'raha. 1549 words. ⮞ my extremely stupid mmo gamer au, again, where ffxiv is a hit mmorpg and the scions of the seventh dawn run an internet cafe, except i renamed many things with ff11 words. ⮞ let's go mid, lesbians, let's go! or: frontlines is fun sometimes, except when your name is gaia and you're the only sane person in the light party.
oblivion: the state of being unaware or unconscious of what is happening.
Badoobomp! Badoobomp! Badoobomp!
"Gaiaaaa, where are you?" was the first thing Ryne asked when the voice channel began to fill.
"I'm already here," the girl in question droned against the sound of her stiletto nails tapping against her controller. "You saw me log in at the market board." On her TV, a small blur of mismatched dyes darted up next to her at the Disciple of War weapons merchant in the Wolves' Den, hopping up and down like an unfashionable flea between the shop menu and the dressing room screen.
Saaya Ya gives Artemisia Ultimare a big hug! ♡
Gaia wrinkled her nose when she swiveled her camera to zoom in on Ryne. The expansion job unlocking quests gave you free clothes, so why on earth was she wearing that stupid sugarloaf hat?! "Dye your clothes. Or even better, go and stick a glam plate on them, for gods' sake."
"It's just leveling gear," Ryne protested, flailing her arms to the repeated click of her mouse. Click click click click click. "I won't even play Red Mage in there!"
"Uh, yeah, but you're not a level 7 sprout. Fix your glam or I'll come next door and do it for you."
Saaya stilled. Obediently, the tarutaru's mismatched gear slowly turned all rose pink and after one thoughtful moment, Ryne glammed on a pair of bunny ears.
"Good enough," Gaia decided, not thinking of how Ryne only got those ears so they could match while playing as different races.
D-dn! "Hello, little ones," a voice like bells sang as the other two occupants of the voice channel finally unmuted. A few hi lunya!s pooled in the FC chat from the dozen other members online who were just standing by the market board in mutual silence and inactivity.
"Hey, Ryne, Gaia," G'raha greeted. As soon as he logged on the FC chat was overtaken by Alisaie publicly ragging on him for causing a wipe in the World of Darkness the night before, followed immediately by a half dozen reminders that she managed to cause a wipe in Cape Westwind just a month ago and Alphinaud desperately reminding her that they were farming SoS EX and to please stop typing in the middle of the pizza.
"Says the one who's not even three fulms tall and made her character max-height to compensate," Gaia grumbled at the same time that Ryne chimed, "Hi, Lunya! Hi G'raha!"
"Hello, hatless PS5-having Cutscene Skipper Jr.," Lunya sniffed, clearly not above swooping down to the level of pettiness required to sass a sixteen year old with an attitude problem as she gathered them all into a party. "I hope you're ready."
There was a yelp. "I'm capped on Poetics, wait—!"
Ding!
"...Never mind."
Lunya's grin was almost audible. "The Light Party sound is the ready check."
"So it is," G'raha accepted wryly, so obviously lovestruck that Gaia mimed gagging to herself as her screen blackened.
Today was an Onsal Hakair day, which… meant not a lot to Gaia, personally. She didn't need the mount (her motorcycle and skyslipper were all she ever used, thanks), but there was no such thing as having too much Grade 7 Dark Matter or glamour prisms, so when Lunya had asked she agreed to come. The fact that Ryne really wanted that stupid Construct robot suit thing and was pretty much a permanent pick for Lunya's unofficial Frontlines party was just a coincidence, because if Gaia actually admitted to anything she would never hear the end of it.
"Ia-ia, honey," her mom called from her bedroom door over the sound of G'raha rapidly changing between five different classes before settling on White Mage right before the game began, "I'm going to pick up your father from the aquarium—there's snacks on the counter for you, alright?"
"Kay, Mom," Gaia called back, beelining to mid. Predictably, an ovoo popped up immediately in the center platform and all three teams started skirmishing over it, completely tunnel-visioning and ignoring the four other nodes popping up around the map.
"Ooh, snacks!" Ryne cheered as she dived in and out of a sea of yellow names, her health plummeting sharply as G'raha hissed a stupidly-censored kid-friendly swear, rapidly smashing her HP back together. "Did they get those new novelty coffee Goldfish again?"
Probably, Gaia didn't say as she marked and Holmganged a yellow healer out of the pack, because her dad was a weirdo and liked stocking the cupboards with fish-themed snacks only to get really emotional over having to actually eat them. If they did, she could use them as an excuse to go next door. Not that she was looking for one, or anything—
"Contest the A-rank on the beach," Lunya ordered as their team hauled ass off the center platform, yellow in sight as they also bobbed along across the field to the same diamond marker in the sky. "Blue can have the one in mid."
"In an ideal world," Gaia grumbled as some blue goons came over and started pinching them instead of the actual winning team. Lunya uttered a less kid-friendly swear.
The rest of the game went like that: Lunya did calls and sometimes people listened and a lot of times they didn't. Gaia got to knock people off cliffs. Ryne (while arguably a little too ambitious with her positioning) carried them in kills, and G'raha… G'raha would sweat himself to death keeping them all alive and not very subtly focus on healing Lunya before anyone else even though she was a Dancer and in theory wasn't supposed to be taking that much damage to begin with. Theoretically.
"You stole my kill, Raha!" Lunya gasped ten minutes into the game with no real bite behind the words. Their team darted onto the S-rank that spawned on the north cave as they pulled into the lead.
"Only because you stole my heart first," G'raha replied suavely. Dumbass. Most of the time he turned into a complete moron around Lunya, and other times he could be a real charmer. The unfortunate part was Lunya seemed to just think this was banter instead of a genuine attempt to flirt with her and everyone just had to watch it happen like a trainwreck in slow motion.
"Knave," the Lalafell harrumphed with a giggle she couldn't hold back. "It's mine for the keeping, though I suppose I can let you have mine in turn."
Honestly, Gaia didn't know if Lunya was just as oblivious as Ryne was or if this was some part of a long con or if by some chance she was equally as terrified of changing her relationship with her roommate as G'raha was, and this was her insane and fucked up way of avoiding the issue altogether. By… flirting with him.
The natural conclusion to this mess was that G'raha stuttered out a high-pitched laugh and proceeded to play like shit for the rest of the game, completely forgetting to Dia everything in sight. On the bright side, they were already at the point where the path to victory was clear (unless Flames and Adders both suddenly wised up in the next 30 seconds and tactically pinched them, which they didn't).
G'raha coughed as the results menu popped up. 1600 to 1499 to 729. "Lu, I can hear the ice cream truck," he said, and there was an immediate barrage of noise as Lunya shot out of her chair, apparently pulling her headphones out of the jack as she did and tripping over some rogue plastic case of embroidery floss bobbins.
"Ten minute break," Lunya nearly shouted, evidently halfway across her room already by how distant all the rummaging noises were getting. "Go get those Goldfish!"
"UGH." Gaia nearly took her headphones off and snapped them, only stopping because Ryne's dad had given her this whole lecture about how he was worried about her influence on his daughter if she kept taking her material possessions for granted just because her parents were loaded. "They're so obvious, how does everyone just put up with those losers?" By losers, she meant G'raha. She didn't completely disrespect Lunya.
Ryne uttered an adorably confused, What? "Oh. Oh!!!" she gasped after a moment, and Gaia could almost see the stars sparkling in her eyes with excitement as the cogs finally started to turn. "Gaia, do you think they were flirting with each other?!"
Several thoughts passed through Gaia's mind. Thoughts like, you are so fucking stupid, why do I like you, and no SHIT they've been flirting with each other since they first laid eyes on each other, and isn't this what Dad went through with Mom? Did I inherit his type? Do I have a type?!, and then she got this from Zaya and Thancred.
I'm starting to understand a lot of things, Gaia groaned to herself, slumping lower into her beanbag chair and listening with grudging fondness as Ryne seemed to unlock every memory of their older friends having a significant interaction all at once, sending her on a tangent about how cute they were and oh, they're perfect for each other! Do you think anyone else knows besides us?! Oooh, I wonder who'll confess first, I hope they get together soon!!!
"You and me both, Ryne." Gaia rubbed her temples. "You and me both."

The S.R. Power and Chummers Awards for Outstanding Vehicles from Rigger Black Book for Shadowrun (1st Edition)
The Rigger Black Book had four categories of vehicles
Civilian
Security
Drones
Military
Whether those distinctions made a difference to your runner’s ability to acquire one depended upon how generous your GM was feeling with nuyen rewards.
Tumblr media
Though this is how most runners spend it.
A note about speed values: The quantity listed in the vehicle description is the speed in units of meters per combat turn (3 seconds), which is useful in game. To convert this to more sensible units:
… divide by 3 to get the speed in meters per second (mps).
… multiply by 1.2 (or 6/5) to get the speed in kilometers per hour (kph).
… multiply by 0.746 (or about 3/4) to get the speed in miles per hour (mph).
Thus the Hyundai Offroader (Bike) has a cruising speed of 60 and a top speed of 180 (written has 60/180) in meters per combat turn, would be 20/60 mps, 72/216 kph, or 45/134 mph.
In the Civilian Vehicle Category, we have…
Best Bike:
Tumblr media
BMW Blitzen 2050. Highest speed, highest Armor ratings, highest cost. Never mind the nuyen, it had a hardpoint, so you could mount a minigun on it if you wanted to. And you know you want to.
Worst Bike:
Tumblr media
Dodge Scoot. This barely qualifies as it is because it can be run on pedal power. Yes, the Dodge Scoot is a MOPED. Did you know Mopeds would still be a thing in 2050? Can you imagine a more embarrassing ride for your Ork Mercenary than a Dodge Scoot?
Best Sports Car:
Tumblr media
Knocking the Eurocar Westwind 2000 from the perch is the Saab “Dynamit” 776TI, with a cruising speed of 96 kph (60 mph) and a top speed of 300 kph (186 mph). That extra bit of speed isn’t cheap, at 250K¥, but it might save your hoop.
Best Family Vehicle:
Tumblr media
After your new rigger gets her Blitzen (for solo rides) and Dynamit (for date nights), she will then have to find the right vehicle to carry her whole family: 3 to 5 heavily armed Shadowrunners, one of whom is a troll who always complains about headroom. She also needs to be prepared for anything, and thus needs space for those pop-up remote-controlled hardpoint turrets with dual Vanquisher heavy machine mini-guns.  
The currency for vehicle modifications is CF (construction factor). Every point of CF roughly corresponds to 25 kg of cargo and represents the storage capacity of vehicle. Anything you want to add: extra seating, roll bars, datajack links, and weapons all have a CF cost. Plus, because weapon turrets must be adjacent to the exterior of the vehicle, only 10% of a vehicle’s CF can be used for weapons.
Knowing that she’ll be tweaking it out anyway, she wants a vehicle that serves as a good foundation that won’t break the credstick. For that reason, choose the Volkswagen Superkombi III, Enclosed-Van Variant for 45,000 ¥. Single bucket plus 2 folding benches give base seating for 4, and with 150 CF to play with, there’s plenty of room for both troll friends and machine gun friends.  It has slightly lower body and speed than the Ford-Canada Bison, but has three times the CF and is less than a third of the cost.
