Final Fantasy VII has the classic mistranslation right at the start when Cloud says “Barret, be careful! Attack while its tail is up! It’s gonna counterattack with its laser!” when the complete opposite is true and it should have been translated more as “Watch the tail! You don’t want to be hit by that laser!” (i.e. DON’T attack while the tail is up).

The game has been rereleased so many times, I wonder if they ever fixed that? Just fit in a “don’t” in there

My memory is hazy, but I think the original PC release of FF7 fixed a bunch of translation bungles. I played that version first and was surprised how many errors were found in the PlayStation version.
I can’t remember if they fixed that particular mistake though. Or if the newer PC releases incorporate any of those fixes, haven’t played much of them.
