#Old Boy Game Box Original #232 Author: Rayling
"Devouring Heaven and Earth 2: The Legend of Zhuge Kongming" can be regarded as a popular RPG game on the red and white machine platform, after all, the Theme of the Three Kingdoms will always be the ivy of the game industry, and many players are very obsessed with the various fan-derived games of "Devouring Heaven and Earth" even after adulthood.
In fact, many players were from a game called "Devouring Heaven and Earth 3 Deluxe Chinese Edition" into the devouring pit, this Chinese version was originally produced by pioneer cartoons, because of the word library cracking and other reasons often appear character change, full-screen menu garbled code and other issues, some equipment, plot translation is also very rough, and even caused a lot of misleading to players.
In the @old boy game box before the wall-piercing work article, we introduced that there is a mysterious character in the white horse slope on the other side of the Xuzhou River at the beginning, the head and body do not match, switch to the original Japanese version of "Devouring Heaven and Earth 2" and find that this mysterious person is actually Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao, who were sent to us by Cao Cao at the beginning.
This kind of head-changing problem is very common in the Chinese version of "Devouring Heaven and Earth 2", such as Cao Cao at the beginning of the game, in which he is an old minister who raises his hand.
Players familiar with "Devouring Heaven and Earth" know that in the worldview of devouring, Cao Cao is obviously a beautiful man with long hair and flowing hair.
Switching to the original Japanese version of "Devouring Heaven and Earth 2" allows us to see the true face of Cao Cao.
Similar problems often appear when our team members iterate, such as Zhuge Liang, Lu Su, Chen Deng, etc. leaving the team, and it is often the case that Zhuge Liang is walking on top of Chen Deng's characters, and people are looked at inexplicably.
After the Battle of Chibi, the four people in the picture were originally supposed to be Liu Bei, Kong Ming, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Fei
The problem of the Chinese version of "Devouring Heaven and Earth 2" is also manifested in the plot, there are many friends who are curious about the translation problems of some famous scenes in the game, such as the most famous "Cai Mao Dark Joy", many people want to know what the original Japanese meaning of this sentence is, right?
In the Sinicized version of "Devouring Heaven and Earth 2", Cai Mao secretly liked that this plot appeared in Jingzhou City at the beginning of the game, and on the front foot we just helped the city lord Liu Biao quell the rebellion fiefdom Xinye, and the servants of Liu Biao on the back foot came to inform us that Liu Biao was ill. After we arrived at the Jingzhou Palace, we found that Cai Mao was actually present, Liu Biao intended to entrust us with isolation, but the Yi yuan who came to report the letter said that Cai Mao wanted to seize power, ambushed a lot of soldiers and horses outside the palace, suggested that we take the secret passage to escape, I believe that many players have been stuck for a long time because they can't find the secret passage inside the palace, right?
When Xiao Lei played this plot, he did not feel inappropriate, but it was many years later that he felt that the four words "Cai Mao Secret Joy" were a little strange. Logically, there is no clear connection between Liu Biao's bedridden and Liu Bei's siege, if Cai Mao really wants to design to kill Liu Bei or Liu Biao, then he himself should not appear in the palace, he should directly ambush outside the palace and wait for us to go out, right, but after Yi Yuan gave us and the truth, why did Cai Mao still stand on the field "Cai Mao Secret Joy"?
Xiao Lei flipped through the Japanese version and found that the original text of this plot was "ちえつ...", which translated as "damn" and expressed anger and contempt, which seemed to be too far away from Dark Joy.
Xiao Lei did not know much Japanese, but intuitively thought that the translation of this plot in the Chinese version of "Devouring Heaven and Earth 2" must be something wrong, so he turned out "Devouring Heaven and Earth 2 English Version" to compare and look at it, and sure enough, he found the problem:
In the picture, Liu Biao, after telling Liu Bei to be lonely, also said a sentence "Beware of Cai Mao", which was missed by the Chinese version that year!
Cai Mao's plot was supposed to be like this - Liu Biao realized early on that Cai Mao had the intention of seizing the throne, but the two sides did not tear their faces, and because Liu Bei often went in and out of Jingzhou, Cai Mao did not dare to act openly. Just in time for Liu Bei to go to Xinye to accept the fiefdom, Cai Mao finally made up his mind to assassinate Liu Biao to seize power, but Liu Biao had already discovered this and sent someone to summon Liu Bei on the grounds that Liu Biao was critically ill, and as a result, just as Cai Mao sneaked into the palace to prepare for the assassination, Liu Bei happened to bring people and horses to kill him.
Cai Mao's long-planned assassination operation was disturbed by Liu Bei, and he had to secretly get angry and muttered at the palace gate: "Cut, damn(Damn!)"
Immediately after Yi Yuan told us that the outside of the palace had been secretly surrounded by Cai Mao's soldiers and horses, we would definitely completely tear our faces with Cai Mao's forces when we went out from the main gate, and then a hot war broke out, suggesting that Liu Bei still handle it coldly, and first leave this place of right and wrong from the secret passage before thinking about other methods. This is actually the real plot of "Cai Mao's Secret Joy".
Although Xiao Lei did not want to deny the Chinese achievements of the pioneer cartoon that year, after knowing the truth, I still felt that the deluxe Chinese version of "Devouring Heaven and Earth 2" was a bit lacking in connotation, not only was it not "luxurious" at all, but it was also very ruined in childhood!
