Original Messy FF7 Localization vs. Vastly Improved Fan Translation: A Line-by-Line Comparison

A spreadsheet compares every line of dialogue in Final Fantasy 7's official PC release, the Japanese original, and fan translator TurquoiseHammer's new text. That retranslation is part of the Shinra Archaeology Cut mod, released two years ago and available through the fan launcher 7th Heaven, with an optional "Cultural Heritage Mode" that restores odd lines and infamous typos from the original English script. Square Enix's 2013 update to modern platforms fixed some grammatical mistakes but left the rest of the script largely untouched.
