Meeting Vivian & Battling the Three Shadows in Paper Mario TTYD Remake (Gameplay) 

She's a dude

All because a translation mistake and all this X nonsense? 🙄

​@@MrNutkipno, She is a Girl.

Oh god. Stop

​@@Nope_youre_wrong???

Pretty much.

*Marilyn speech bubble*

I agree :(

They'll always be the Shadow Sirens to me.

​@@user-rs8ky8hv6s Yeah, just like after all these years we're used to it that for example Magolor's battle themes are "Under my Control" and "CROWNED" instead of the "new" official names. :-)

I'm not too bothered about it, but yeah, this is Shine Sprites being called "Shines" all over again.

bruh lmao

​@@Termina2018 You NPC will never give up, huh?

Since the original

​@@Victini862 But was this more RNG-based or a legit strategy they use during the battle! Because if it's legit and not just random that's pretty clever and dangerous because Vivian isn't part of your team yet to avoid the next attack.

I got an inside out ad bro 💀

@@cannabishornliu6119 I’m leaning towards it being legit. Trust me, Beldam increasing Marilyn’s size for the passive stat boost was one thing. But Marilyn outright deciding to hold her fire and charge power for the next attack… After she had already done it once already!? That’s a strategy only PLAYERS (and Macho Grubba) use! I’ve never seen common enemies in the original try doing anything like this, let alone a boss.

​@@drtoomuch In England, we made it illegal to give HRT to children as the science shows it is damaging. Stop hurting children.

Agreed, as will I. The memories I have of the original game are just too deeply etched into my heart for me not too.

I do wish Vivian called them The Three Shadow Beauties like in the original cuz honestly, that’s a way better name than The Three Shadows.

Absolutely, me as well! The memories of the original game are just too deeply ingrained into my soul for me not to.

Yes, Thousands have become accustomed to the original censored dialogue so ingrained for so long, that it's better to just leave it alone in the Remake.

​@@gimo6881 the Shadow Siren name is not censorship, it is a cool localized name just like Bowser, Goombella, and Crystal Stars

​@@renaterrier935But now they did, and now Vivian is a Desecrated icon of this mistakes

​@@gimo6881I love how the Gender ideology regards want to erase 🏳️‍🌈's. Vivian is a crossdresser

Yeah, they changed the names and dialogue in the remake. They actually also did this in the remake of Super mario rpg. Some of the characters' names were changed. Frogfucius was changed to the frog sage. Mack was renamed Claymorton, and yaridovich was renamed speardovich.

I'll always remember it as her saying the latter, though.

​@@starfishman1018Those werent changes, tho; those were unchanges, to make it like the game is in Japan. Tho, this just changes it for changes sake?? Cuz in the Japanese version, it was more like "You are NOT our SISTER!".

​@@SchwarzornBut She is a Girl with a passive-aggressive personality.

@@Schwarzornthe Japanese remake uses this dialogue too

I hear ya. She's an amazing ally. SPOILER ALERT FOR THOSE NEW TO THE GAME: Her Fiery Jinx attack...👍🏼💯

@@eddievg83 Really? You give a "spoiler alert" for an attack... but _not_ the fact that Vivian is an ally?

@@King_Luigi WA-WA-WAAAAA!!! 🤪

@@eddievg83You liked your own comment, didn’t you?

Then later on admits she's kind of cute, she guesses... She might even be cuter than her... She guesses... And might even be jealous.

@@MitchellTheMitch Meh, Goombella is cuter than Vivian

@clonedbraixen Both are super cute (This is very neckbeard to be arguing over who's cuter, so I'll just straight up say that they do not exist and are fictional characters and are in no way a part of our reality)

But the Sea of Venon in X says otherwise

@@gimo6881 No one is defending you, the mistake of nature here

​@@LiveLXStudiosThe only onees are Those unnatural mistakes and its defenders

thank you

The Filth of X, that's what happen

Closer to original translation. This is cause Vivian is perceived as male in the original Japanese version and they were called the Shadow Trio. Original localization retconned Vivian to be female entirely.

​@@Lucario7280 and let her as a female like birdo

​@@Lucario7280 I know it's closer to the original translation. I just don't think that's a good reason to change it. Otherwise, let's rename Bowser to Koopa, Madame Flurrie to Madame Cloud, the Crystal Stars to the Star Stones, etc. I don't understand why in this particular instance, we have to remove a cool localized name.

It was an invention of the localization of the original, which was much cooler.

​@@sartasmm What of you do it first?

First off it is a minor plot detail because if you remove that detail from the game, the game doesn’t change one bit. Therefore, by definition, it’s a minor detail. It’s also easily miscible because if you skip over the dialogue too quickly and chapter 4, you’ll never know about it. Nintendo made it ambiguous on purpose for a reason. And with all of this strange gender debate that is happening because of the remake people have done some digging online and over on Reddit and Twitter people found an old forum with developers from the original game discussing development with fans, and they confirmed that Vivian was never intended to be transgender and it was just a mistake that localizers made outside of Japan. Simple as that buddy. Stop pushing misinformation!

​@@Nope_youre_wrongThose who defend these unnatural insults make the mistake of justifying and normalizing their existence. Also, Thousands have become accustomed to the original censored dialogue so ingrained for so long, that it's better to just leave it alone in the Remake.

The game was relocalized so that was probably part of it Maybe it’s more accurate idk

They're technically not sirens.

@@gimo6881 Cope, you unnatural insult!

@@gimo6881 Cope, you unnatural insult!

I’m confused, in the remake is she a female or Trans? cause there’s a text that implies she is a female

@Ange1R78 She's a trans girl. Her sisters identified her as a boy, but she identifies as a girl.

You know it!

This time, was unneccesary change it

Well Beldam can't exactly call themselves that, since Sirens are typically feminine, and she refuses to indulge in Vivian's "sappy nonsense" by addressing her as anything remotely feminine.

​@@blackheartzerotheundergrou3225not a great argument considering Beldam uses she/her pronouns for Vivian later in the game

​@@renaterrier935 because *she* was allways a Girl

The OG Japanese script these three are called "カゲ三人組", and only Vivian refers the group as sisters given that Beldam wouldn't acknowledge Vivian as anything but a man. The localization change they made in the remake version are not exactly the same compared to the original script (idk maybe they didn't have the guts of straight up making Beldam transphobic potentially?), though this is a translation more loyal to the OG I suppose

​@@killustraitor4288Thousands have become accustomed to the original censored dialogue so ingrained for so long, that it's better to just leave it alone in the Remake. She is a Girl and that's enough.

@@gimo6881 Well I am simply here to explain why potentially they changed the localization, not trying to advocate anything specifically, if you prefer the original localization I won't argue with you

​@@killustraitor4288 that put that original in the Remake. Now every time enyone that sees Vivian, think in a desecrated icon

@@gimo6881 Woah chill out there will you? I'm just some dude who speaks a little bit of English and Japanese, not the one in charge of the localization work at Nintendo, and there is absolutely no need addressing trans folks as "desecrated"

its cause vivians sisters dont want vivian to be their sister :( very mean and rude of them

It's still wasn't necessary, the original was better

@@gimo6881 Dude it was necessary💀 i just explained in my comment why it would make no sense to call them the shadow Sirens in the remake when their using Vivans identity from the Japanese version So you would have to fall then the shadow sirens and leave out Vivians Japanese identity Or localize Vivans identity and rename the shadow sirens

​@@BowserEditzIt's not because of Vivian's identity. The name in the original script "Shadow Sisters" was only used by Vivian. Bedlam doesn't use the name because she doesn't want to acknowledge Vivian as her sister. This is just a more accurate translation of the original script, not a script change.

@@firestarex3544 This is basically what i'm saying it's trying to be accurate to the original Japanese version

The ONLY thing that I don’t like: They should’ve kept the “Shadow Sirens” name. Not just for nostalgic purposes, but it also brings more depth to the gender identity and “trans vs. transphobia” subtexts.

It was a mistake in tbe first place

You like botting is the real rage bait.

It is. Dudes sitting at home clutching his flag everytime he sees Vivian. Like I get it he’s happy about a change, which is fine in that aspect. Nobody’s upset for this guy being happy about something. We’re just upset about how many times game explained is going to beat the dead horse by posting about it. Like, you think she’s transgender in the remake. We get it I wish I could find this old forum that people are talking about, I bet it would make tris’s head explode with anger lol.

@@Nope_youre_wrong *they. And if you don't want to accept that and still want to use male pronouns, then you can get fucked, like botter.

But we are not the same

*beldam speech bubble*

​@@Termina2018 NPC alert

i wouldn't be proud of that tbh

No

I think they rewrote this to give Vivian the agency of coming out to Mario herself in chapter 4. Looking at the JP text in the remake it's near one-to-one with this new dialogue. It's welcome but it does remove the subtext of goombella's tattle being about how pissed she is she's mogged by a tgirl.

A little TOO hard imo

Agreed we get it

Hey it's working since you bothered to click on it like botter :)

@@SaltyToad00 You are an embarrassment to nature and you know it, by defending this unnatural mistakes. The ones of the Rainbow flag

Because people rather get upset over a fictional trans character than do something productive with their life.

​@@SaltyToad00do something productive with their life Says a person who goes to every comment whining aboud haters

@@SaltyToad00 They're not mad, they're pointing out a not so overly blown misconception and simply saying that she is a GIRL, not a guy (and no nothing wrong with trans or whatever) but just because i'm in acceptance/don't mind trans/lgbtq's doesn't mean I got to think certain things are pertaining in that way when it's really not or not meant to be seen in that way.

​​@@volvoman5262 You're further proving my point. Why do you people care so much? It changes nothing gameplay wise.

​@@noctis6826they absolutely are, also she was always like this lol

No, she's Mario's girlfriend, along with many other female characters in this game. Mario is a harem protagonist in TTYD.

Top ten biggest plot twists

As did I. Preach it!

Thousands have become accustomed to the original censored dialogue so ingrained for so long, that it's better to just leave it alone

@@gimo6881the average fan does not care 🎉

​@@NopeNoWay-us2jkBut the Endless legions yes, more people than you fans.

I like the new dialogue and graphics, but the old name sounds better tho imo

Over on Reddit and Twitter people have done a lot of digging in regards to what was really intended to be in the original games and somebody found a really old forum with a couple of intelligent systems, developers talking with fans and they admitted that Vivian was never intended to be transgender, and it was just a massive mistake, made by localizer in the Italian, French, and Spanish versions. With that becoming more widespread knowledge by the day, people are getting pissed because now technically Nintendo just changed a preestablished character to fit some sort of a narrative. That’s why people cry about things going. Nobody likes it when an existing and established character has their gender or race or something changed about them for the sake of diversity. It’s lazy. People would rather see companies come up with new games or new TV shows or whatever the case maybe and then include their new transgender characters. Stop changing stuff that we already knew was the exact opposite.

Yeah... The chuds are, unfortunately, the biggest plagues of the gaming and film community.😔 They're always bothered by non-issues...

​​@@Nope_youre_wrongCould you link the forum posts or a direct quote of them saying that? I remember hearing them say they liked the approach of some of the localizations and not specifically that Vivian isn't transgender.

@@Nope_youre_wrong Yeah techno has a good point. Source ?

@@techno-- I can link the Reddit post, but can’t link the forum because according to what I read on Reddit, people are trying to find it and they can’t find it although multiple people are confirming it’s existence and confirming what was said. I tried to look for it myself and it’s absolutely, buried deep within the fami board website, they keep talking about. I’m sure it’s there, but it’ll probably take quite a bit of digging to pull it up.

@@Thecoolgamer-cx9tj you missed the point by a WIDE margin buddy😂😂 it’s kind of ironic for you to tell me it’s not that deep when gamexplain as now made five separate videos about Vivian alone. Sounds like it’s pretty deep to me!

Thank you Gamexplain. You made me save 93$ canadian. Il just replay the gamecube version and check youtube to any new content.

@@alfasilverbladeDamn, that’s sad. Like, I understand this makes me super mad too, but the new graphics and content and updated things warrant still buying the game. Think about buying it to show Nintendo that we want the old paper Mario back. I hate that they changed it, but this shouldn’t ruin your amusement of this wonderful remake. You get to fight prince mush!

@@voltron77 even if this remake sell well, the next Paper Mario will probably still have no exp, no level ups, no badges, and no unique toads, goombas etc. How many remakes did we buy on Switch that didnt leed to a new entry in those franchise? We got a captain toad port, no sequel. They sold us a mario 3D all stars and ditched Galaxy 2, acting like it never existed. We will never get Galaxy 3. Brought Metroid Prime 1 remake. No Prime 2 remake and Prime 4 is still vaporware.

This sucks because this terrible decision that Nintendo made will make people like me not get the game when I was planning on it. If the game flops, I hope Nintendo realizes it’s because they wanted to go woke and not because people don’t like old Paper Mario

@@gabe5466 If a fictional character not being cis is a "terrible decision" and turns you off from buying, you're the fucking problem. Fuck outta here please. P.S Woke isn't a bad term the way you think it is.

@@Yayofangamer16 yes and that is stupid you can agree with some things someone does but disagree with others

​@@hock_100 You defenders do the same.

That sounds similar to a people who get upset when they see different races of characters in video games or film. Hating people leads to misery. Like trying to hold your breath endlessly because someone convinced you that air will suffocate you; instead of releasing and realizing nothing bad is happening.

@@krowlyy Im not upset, I just don't believe in made up bs. Trans people don't exist, they're just playing pretend.

​@yesterdayboy8885 "I'm not upset" Proceeds say trans people aren't real.

While I do agree that "Reflection of myself" is sad, learning to accept those who are different is the right thing as long as they aren't hurting anyone.

Must be an even sadder life if all you can think about is how others live theirs.
