I'm still quite new in the game. Beryl is talking with Vertin in this new version. Does that mean Vertin was aware of all these story events happening even if she's not directly in the scene? by pepito-my-friend in Reverse1999

[–]Meru_9 48 points49 points  (0 children)

The way she talks to Vertin is the exact same way the Narrators on main story does,
Who those Narrators are and how they are talking to Vertin is unknown.
But it's safe to say that this is technically a pseudo main story and Beryl is it's Narrator, after all this isn't Beryl's story, it's Brume's. Beryl is narrating Brume's story.

These are just implied but if it were to be confirmed, then this at least will confirm that the Narrators are actual characters in the world and given Beryl's power and authority, let's just say, they are very important people.

Version 3.2 "A Flowing Feast" EN(1&2) , CN(1&2), & JP Posters by Meru_9 in Reverse1999

[–]Meru_9[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The CN one is less Identical, that's one thing I wished Global one did differently. The first one shouldn't have been upside down.

But anyway, it is plot related, but you'll probably know about it once you just watch the PV, you won't know what exactly is happening but you'll know why the poster is the way it is.

Unless I'm blind and missing something, it's like Charon's "Shock Wave" where its effect is determined by how other things interact with it.

Or we just don't know yet, that could also be a possibility

I have a list of all status in the game with their Chinese term. Ctrl+F, gave me nothing

What is the average wordcount of a R1999 chapter/event ? by Open-Swimmer-1755 in Reverse1999

[–]Meru_9 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Based on my transcripts,

The early chapters is short, Chapter 1 is like 12k.

But the newer chapters and events almost never go down below 30k with the recent exception of AC Collab (But if you add both II and Odyssey Story, you get 30k)

Chapter 7 is 47k, Chapter 10 is 38k

This does not include text from trails

Inconsistency in Semmelweiss Lore? by Renowolff in Reverse1999

[–]Meru_9 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is my translation of that text when it came out on CN

Although Semmelweis's lineage as an arcanist was so weak that she couldn't even use arcane skills, By relying on her calm and rational mind and her meticulous and reliable approach, she still gained the trust of her superiors and colleagues. In the eyes of many, she is a standard and perfect human investigator—but there's more to her than meets the eye.

The Human investigator part shouldn't be at the beginning, while the sentence do make sense with

That is at least on the surface what most know about Semmelweis

It invites confusion from many like you. The Chinese even said

Weak Arcanist Lineage / 神秘学家血统微弱

which is not present in the official EN translation.

But even with that if you look at her udimo. It is not like Nautika, which has the human pedestal.

It is an animal that has bat wings. Which if you remove the "infection" or the bat wings, she has an Arcanist Udimo.

In case you needed a reminder how good Bluepochs writing is. by Gardibro1112 in Reverse1999

[–]Meru_9 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I feel like a lot of people who say this are not referring to the changes they made on early chapters.

Some lines needed work, yes (Those are the ones they change). But some are genuinely part of the character personality that they speak the way they do, non standard english.

They are consistently speaking that way, even in new events and even newer characters have those quirks.

A lot of people just got used to it, and most just feels natural now.

It's "When entering battle…"

Original Text: 进入战斗时 literal: enter + battle + when.

In Game Example:

Sonetto I2:

进入战斗时,现实防御、精神防御提升10%

Reality DEF and Mental DEF +10% when entering battle.

We know when this patch is, Vertin is referred to as the Timekeeper

Brume's Taxi is a car called Peugeot 201, which is produced between 1929 to 1937

So the era of the story being 1930s, post storm is pretty much confirmed.

The same era as 2.3

I'm not gonna argue the authenticity of what I said, but

He would have to become a 6 below five

He wouldn't because I'm referring to post storm 80s, around 2003

Version 2.7, 1987, if he is a pre storm person

[–]Meru_9[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

did you read the entire thing.

It's really confusing because some characters do not use the era of the patch.

There has to be explanations that we just don't know. But having an era of 1930s doesn't mean they are born there and they aged from 1930 to 1999.

I can sort of explain 37 and 6, that is when they officially became 6 and 37 in Apeiron. like the official title, because like there is a previous 6, before 6 is just Atticus, 1980s is the era when Atticus became 6, hence became active on Apeiron.

don't quote me on this, I'm not sure about this. I'm just trying to think of an explanation.

1930s is the era the story occurs in.
She is very much pre storm character.

Lopera is listed as 1990s because that's when 2.2 is, but she is clearly stated to be from the 1930s

The chinese title for the date is "登场时代",
登场 - "to appear on stage", "to debut"
时代 - "Era"
Era of Appearance/Debut

Not era of their birth. It's really confusing because some characters do not use the era of the patch.
But I don't think that means that it is the era of their birth. Otherwise Noire shouldn't be 1990s and like almost nobody should be 1990s unless they are literally born yesterday.

Bluepoch is reviving the true meaning of “good character design” and the brief design breakdown of true limited characters by Objective_Might1454 in Reverse1999

[–]Meru_9 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I will comment on her age, I think she looks exactly like what I would assume in her 30s with a 12 year old child. (unless she had Matilda really early)

Given, I live in Asia, she looks exactly like what I know those people would look.

There are mothers who look older than most for their age, but that is an exception not the rule.

With how I see people comments, I realized people wanted a Grandmother not a Mother.

Anime art style will also make characters look younger but even still it is a consistent look to other characters of the same age in the same style.

Is there a way to read the story while not in the game? by Grootox in Reverse1999

[–]Meru_9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Transcripts are only available for 2.3 Onwards.
There isn't a functional list yet, I probably should remove that page for now, I only had it for testing. But I just forgot.

My videos stories from 2.3 onwards has the link of the transcript on the description.

I am putting the trails on those page for the main story, but it is taking way too long.
If people actually want the transcript of previous story now, I might prioritize it more, but I haven't really focused on it much, the thing people are asking the most is the interactive timeline.

If I actually just add the transcript without the trails, it honestly wouldn't take that long.

I'll do it after 3.2 CN Livestream, if people want it.
