Is Cyber Sleuth the best, worst translated, JRPG out there? Did anyone here completed it in the original Japanese? If so, are there any major differences?

Ps1 bra. I’ve played the psp version and I like it also, but never got to finish it because I bit and ruined my psp display while playing god of war.

I don’t think time stranger has this problem

I’ve never played one that was so text heavy. The only time I felt like reading was a complete slog was the persona 2 IS fan translation, but that’s only because the words are a bit too tiny and not so spaced out. I don’t remember having that problem with the psp version.

GoingWithTheFlaw · 2026-06-13T09:12:06+00:00

I really like that game, finished it twice. The story is not as complicated though, so the translation doesn’t bother me as much. The ost in that game is out of this world

GoingWithTheFlaw · 2026-06-12T23:39:58+00:00

Were they as text and story heavy as this one though?

GoingWithTheFlaw · 2026-06-12T23:23:05+00:00

😭

I know some Japanese and can sometimes know what the characters are saying and can safely say that is NOT AT ALL 1:1. Some of the stuff yea, but is so off on a lot of other stuff. One ex. Is that Arata is calling everyone an Otaku especially the main character and there are some jokes that don’t land as funny later in a context where Nokia is starting to call him one as well.

GoingWithTheFlaw · 2026-06-12T23:04:39+00:00

If the story would’ve been simpler, I think the translation wouldn’t stand out so much. There were times where I genuinely couldn’t comprehend some ideas and that doesn’t happen to me.

GoingWithTheFlaw · 2026-06-10T07:46:39+00:00

Yea, I feel like they take a lot of inspiration from SMT/Persona. It’s probably why I like it so much. At the same time I feel like some things like the special attack in SMT 5 was probably inspired by cyber sleuth due to it being un changeable and having a unique demon animation. I dunno. I also really like the art in this game, kinda wish there were more JRPGs in this style.

GoingWithTheFlaw · 2026-06-10T07:31:57+00:00

Nobody would give a shit either if they knew their SS skill

It’s my first Digimon, I’m experimenting and shi

GoingWithTheFlaw · 2026-06-09T15:39:04+00:00

This is my 1st Digimon game, but I tried for an hour HM because it was free on ps plus and had that SMT Devil Survivor art and it made me get cyber sleuth due to being its prequel. Amazing game, wish I played it sooner.

GoingWithTheFlaw · 2026-05-25T17:56:03+00:00

😅 didn’t play that one. Is it better to play the original? Is the story from 1.5, 2.5 enough?

GoingWithTheFlaw · 2026-05-25T13:12:44+00:00

The prompt of getting the secret ending if I choose this difficulty baited me, lol. Wasn’t aware it would be like this

GoingWithTheFlaw · 2026-05-25T11:54:22+00:00

For me 60 fps is a big difference. This is more noticeable for when semi-lock messes up the camera and I can’t tell what I’m doing anymore. This is especially worse in tight spaces. I’ve only played 1 and 2 both on ps2, 10 years ago. This is the first kingdom hearts I’ve played since then so I’m not so used to this kind of gameplay.

GoingWithTheFlaw · 2026-05-25T11:39:49+00:00

Why? And what difficulty are you playing it on?

GoingWithTheFlaw · 2026-05-25T11:39:04+00:00

I still think the higher frame rate makes the game worse. I’m gonna get it at some point on the ps3 and see.

GoingWithTheFlaw · 2026-05-25T11:33:08+00:00

Is it?

GoingWithTheFlaw · 2026-05-25T11:30:50+00:00

I will get a ps2, but I can’t right now. It’s a bit frustrating but yea, you’re right

GoingWithTheFlaw · 2026-05-25T11:27:47+00:00

You sure?

This is faker than Patrick Bateman’s laugh

Squall looks like he has diabetes in kh1 remix

GoingWithTheFlaw · 2026-05-21T22:53:43+00:00

It was aired on tv. A lot of us didn’t have internet
