Mega Man X5 Rewrite 01: Sigma Appears

Continuing with my game script rewrites, we visit the game where everything started to go wrong for the X series: the fifth one. In the beginning, the "mysterious voice" and an equally mysterious robot plot to crash a space station, and then X accidentally gives Sigma exactly what he wants. It's hero time.

is this the translation of the japanese script?

[kerplop]

@SlayerDeathBathory Not really. It's another interpretation, meant to use less words and add more personality to the characters.

@kerplop ooh nice. it was actually nice to read at although the text was too slow. I actually do that stuff as well sometimes. just today I modified some of the dialogues for a few mavericks. if you're interested, it's 96A1QfhC on pastebin.

also, do you know where I could find a translated script for rockman x4 and x5? I've seen translated scripts of x1 and x2 and they are vastly different than the english version. they would be an interesting read.

@SlayerDeathBathory I'll take a look at your stuff. I've also done this for X6, X7, X8 and "Maverick Hunter X."

As far as direct translation, no, I don't know where you could find those. Gamefaqs was the only script source I could find, and it came up empty. Sorry.

do they seriously put Mysterious Voice when it flat-out shows Sigma in the communication box?...

[NeoSpearBlade]

Honestly, if you had a PSX emulator and hacked the game, you could have done a much nicer job editing the in-game text. Other than that, I have no complaints. The subtle and obvious differences are great!
