Is there any sort of "8-Bit Theater" transcript out there?

I’ve heard a lot of good things about 8-Bit Theater. I even tried reading a few strips.

I didn’t get very far, because I couldn’t figure out what was going on visually. It makes my brain hurt trying to figure out which blob is who and what. I mean, I know it says it’s eight bits in the name, but sheesh. Honestly, blank squares- clearly outlined squares in different colors- would be easier to understand. I mean, two of the party of four have the same color scheme.

So I was wondering if someone somewhere on the web wrote down the clever dialogue without the awful pictures, movie script style. Something like:

BLACK MAGE: I am about to do something evil.
[Sneaks out of the house, is attacked by a mutant goldfish].
BLACK MAGE: Maybe I should have looked both ways.

I’m really not sure where to start on Google, so I’m asking you if you’ve ever heard of something like this.

:confused:

So you can’t tell Red Mage and Fighter apart? Are you reading on a portable device? Is it possible you need glasses?

Not trying to be snarky, I am just surprised this is a problem.

Maybe it was easier for me to read because I spent a lot of time playing Final Fantasy 1 back in the day.

I think it likely has to do with her prosopagnosia.

OP: I have not seen any, but I think your best bet would be to look for something about “blind accessibility” or a version optimized for search engines.

ETA: I take that back. I found a wiki that provides transcripts!

Thanks for the link!

No, prosopagnosia has to do with real faces, not stylized ones. I can tell them apart if I look closely, but since the graphics are so bad I pretty much see them as colorful blurs. It takes a few seconds to tell one orange-and-white blur from another, and the whole visual assault just annoys me.
