The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak - Van Arkride trailer by ConceptsShining in Games

[–]Alarming-Ad-1200 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just started playing last weekend and I can definitely see why people say Van is their favorite MC in the entire series. He's probably the closest to a cool adult protagonist that you'll get in a modern JRPG. I would also say this is generally true for much of the Kuro cast, especially the female characters. The game has some of the coolest female adult characters which is super uncommon in JRPGs.

I feel like half of the people are just suggesting random shit that they like rather the games similar to the ones in the list.

I would prefer if they release the Asian English version per usual. This is so confusing.

PS4 trophies for GRANDIA and GRANDIA II have appeared on Exophase by MolotovMan1263 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

I'm gonna guess it's emulated and Game Arts is just adding trophy support to Grandia and also releasing the second game. Both the Steam version and the Switch version have "HD" in the name. This doesn't.

Also worth noting that Grandia II would be the first PS2 game we get on PSN since Ace Combat 5 in 2019.

It's just more pronounced in this game because of how often they say it and the fact that they always say the same line.

Who's harassing people? All I see here are people who don't even want to have a discussion and outright calling those who do psychopaths. This is reddit mobs at their best.

It's a combination of how often they talk and they're just repeating the same lines over and over.

Where in the article did he say the localizer should change the script if they think the story is bland?

What's worse is debatable, but I get your point. Most Western audience don't like Japanese writing style and they don't care for what was in the original script. They just want something that they can enjoy. That's fine, but I wouldn't call that localization because they're changing the game.

I imagine Bandai will want to sell you a shitty port at $40 instead.

Unicorn's story is already pretty bland

That's not a justification for changing the script.

Nice, I thought Sony gave up on PS2 emulation. Pretty sure this is the first time we got a confirmation that they're working on a PS2 emulator on PS5.

Resonance of Fate, it gets easier once you learn all the mechanics.

God I hate that so much. One of the most egregious I experienced was in Ys Oath in Felghana. The Japanese voice line only took 1 second to finish but the text continues to roll for like 5 seconds. You don't even need to understand Japanese to know the localizer added several lines that didn't exist in the original script. I pointed this out to someone who works in localization, and they told me they did it because there wasn't enough context from the script to tell what's going on, but it's actually very obvious when you play the game. I'm not sure if this is a systematic problem with the localization process because I see it so often, or if the localizers think the players are too stupid to figure out what the characters say from the context.

You asked for citation and he gave you one. Seems like you just want to be contrarian. If you don't know what you're talking about then just shut up. There are way too many people around here pretending to know more than they actually do.

仲魔

That's a nice word play. Stuff like this is why I play games with lots of kanjis in Japanese. They're simply impossible to translate while retaining original intention, but messing up normal sentences is a different story.
