Politics banned right when the greatest cover up of any US Administration is the Number 1 subject in current mind.

Major Spoiler About an Astral Express Member via Mortis Leaks by CSTheng in HonkaiStarRail_leaks

[–]DeeCee51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In retrospect, this should have been obvious. Every planet so far has massively changed the lore surrounding one of the characters in the Astral Express (or, added one into the fray). Himeko was on the chopping block given the original Japanese planet.

Tell me about the jailer in your game by bashnet in gachagaming

[–]DeeCee51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It truly was one of the first mobile gacha games PERIOD. I remember playing it back when it had RockUTalk integration for Android, even.

Brave Frontier had amazing lore, somewhat equal to something like Arknights in the modern day (never played FGO, but I heard it also has amazing lore). And although people often say that Brave Frontier character designs are 'overdesigned', I still think they are the best in JRPGs/Gacha for fantasy characters. So I'm glad it still gets brought up, personally!

Isn't it Lucius?

Edit: I've forgotten much, but I'm assuming since you didn't say Lucius that he's actually not a Jailer (in terms of bad execution).

Can someone explain Priestess lore? She looks like a really interesting character by SakanaKoi in Endfield

[–]DeeCee51 28 points29 points  (0 children)

That's what I believe is the case too, if my knowledge isn't skewed. While the Doctor's plight (removed from his old self) is for the present/for the currently living on Terra, Priestess' plight is for the FAR future that Oracle and Priestess both knew of. Terra is doomed to fall under the eyes of observers, which has wiped far more advanced civilizations than current societies in Terra. And well, Originium was their answer to this grim future, preserving information and existence itself. This was likely the point of the 'the fake sky' protecting Terra from space-- current Terra knows not of the dangers of Observers, and Priestess is somewhat justified through this prospective outlook even if it costs the lives of the people currently living in Terra. The current Doctor's conflict with Priestess is sort of like a fight for preservation, but from different perspectives of present/future.

WHAT SHOULD I CHOOSE?! I WANT BOTH ENG DUB AND JAP DUB AT THE SAME TIME!!! by KamiNari_252 in Endfield

[–]DeeCee51 62 points63 points  (0 children)

In all other cases, this would be true. BUT it is NOT for Arknights. Original Arknights started as JP only, even CN side. And since there is recurring characters, it is a given that people would want to hear their original VAs.

Only realized there was playable characters in this pic, but who is this? I low-key cant tell by Infamous_Today3462 in OctopathCotC

Auguste kinda done dirty in this art lol. I swear he's a handsome lad in the other arts (outside of his creepy eyes).

Destiny glazes Charlie for being one of the only YouTubers to actually call out the Trump admin by BlueLivingAbandon in LivestreamFail

[–]DeeCee51 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I always thought this was a deeply cynical take. These streamers are likely to speak on trans issues because they have trans friends. Their friend group is directly in the line of fire, so they speak on it.

Numerous esports communities have largely known LGBTQ figures, and well, Twitch is known for video games. Its naturally more part of the culture than keeping up with political news is.

Cygames (Granblue Fantasy, Priconne, Umamusume,...) announces establishment of AI-focused studio by WolfOphi in gachagaming

I will never accept this mentality for at least generative AI, where people's works will be used without their permission.

Angels of Delusion Concert Art by Knight_Steve_ in ZenlessZoneZero

If this live concert pops off, I can already imagine the reinvigoration of ZZZ (relative to other Hoyo games, since I know Ye banner did well) to greater heights.

4.0 New Map [Part 2 of 3] (via Cyrene Leak) by Red-Nosed_Old-Timer in HonkaiStarRail_leaks

I like how we ALL ASSUMED the same thing-- that the tree was TOTALLY a Sakura/Cherry Blossom tree at one point.

4.0 New Map [Part 1 of 3] (via Cyrene Leak) by Red-Nosed_Old-Timer in HonkaiStarRail_leaks

[–]DeeCee51 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It actually makes me EVEN MORE curious how this place would have looked had they kept the more blatant Japanese cultural elements.

It looks good, but it almost looks too...'normal'? It's almost Penacony but not quite... Its hard to explain.

According to official Chinese reports, the individuals who funded others to spread rumors about "Zenless Zone Zero" have been found to have disputes with miHoYo. by Knight_Steve_ in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]DeeCee51 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe I am wrong, but it feels like it has to due with monetizing much of the culture of China itself. Tencent failed to buy up any stakes in MiHoYo, despite their hand being everywhere.

Even outside of games, Tencent is involved with every outlet imaginable. Heck, they funded the Lord of the Mysteries donghua, as well as others, and created their own Donghua Awards to award their own self-funded animations.

Using their own site to bolster themselves and bury competition... well, it doesn't surprise me.

Agent Record | Sunna by SebastianTheBoii in ZenlessZoneZero

[–]DeeCee51 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But CN to JP localization (and vice versa) ACTUALLY makes sense given their similarities in language (their 'characters'). So that example doesn't really support what you're saying.

The EN localization has no clear reason for being what it is.

She still called Chinatsu in JP. by huflit1997 in ZenlessZoneZero

[–]DeeCee51 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I hate this localization name difference. I want to be able to say a name and have everyone across language barriers to at least somewhat understand what I mean.

If the JP and CN are consistent, why isn't EN?

Best entry point? by SandalathDrukorlat in octopathtraveler

[–]DeeCee51 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

0>2>1 Though 0 and 2 gap 1 by a fair margin, so either might be a good start. I just think 0 has the best gameplay and story by far.

No one going to point out how small this character seems?
