I bet you must have really hated the final battle in Final Fantasy 7.
Oh please of course we're going to want this or that little thing touched up. We want the best possible experience and make a note of certain things.
What, do you play Superman 64 and say "well I can't complain, ever, better to just accept what I have".
That said, I don't "hate" this. This is a completely emotionless "note" I'm making, a little "it would be nice if" thing. I loved the opening of FF8 and the "Safer Sephiroth" battle music (worst name for a final form ever). I'm just saying I like to understand things.
Also, it's one thing to see subtitles for going in and leaving a battle but I have to agree with EM on this one. Subtitles for the music, showing the entire battle, are not a good idea. I just think a lyric sheet should be provided somewhere in the menu.
Oh yeah, I also agree about those anime cartoons that don't subtitle their Japanese music. There are worse things than that though. I've seen shows where they close in on some obviously important document written in Japanese but they don't translate what it says, so you just end up saying "well, what am I supposed to get from that?".
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
