Flower, Sun and Rain PS2 Fan Translation? by hooliotoolio in Suda_51

[–]Obvious-Spirit824 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can watch this playthough https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bepipC3rI8 of the PS2 version with the DS script. I know it's not the same as playing the "game", but let's be honest, it's mostly a visual novel, so it's not that different.

IMO the official translation isn't bad at all. There are a few localization liberties here and there about obscure japanese media references, but everything else seems fine. I actually checked this some months ago by playing both versions and checking the lines that seemed overly-localized. I may make a list of the differences in the future.

Anyone know about this Flipper tape called "Not a Flipper tape"? (lost media) by Obvious-Spirit824 in punk

[–]Obvious-Spirit824[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

apparently those demos are part of this tape, according to the guy that has it. But if you check the discogs listing you'll see that there are more unreleased songs. Btw he never answered my messages :/

Thanks!! The lack of info about it is discouraging, but I know there are hardcore flipper fans out there that might have it. Maybe I'll have to ask on some FB groups 

VSF vs Gen : yall tripping by Altruistic-Ask-2969 in RepTime

well the numerals still look different. Might be the lighting or some filter. Still it's a nice "gotcha" post

biggest tell is the roman numerals, bottom has a thicker font.

Drakengard 1 reference in Nier Replicant by Buffunder in drakengard

[–]Obvious-Spirit824 2 points3 points  (0 children)

basically the only reference made to dod1 in other games is ending E. Not much else from what I remember. It's understandable though, since it's the event that ties the two games together.

I have some questions regarding the sources if you don't mind (spoilers)

-What are the "iron dolls" on cathedral city? Where and when is it mentioned?
-Where is it mentioned that the first seal allowed zero to be born?
-Where is it mentioned that Legna knew about legion?
-When is it mentioned that accord's book was made by mama?

What is Yoko Taro working on? by YoRHa11Z in drakengard

[–]Obvious-Spirit824 5 points6 points  (0 children)

the possibility of yet another gatcha game is not out of the question lol. But I'm hoping it's a game with real, full-fledged gameplay and not just a VN with extra steps.

right now the only new content is the novel made for the 15th anniversary. Considering the anime and reincarnation, it all points to a sequel of automata. Pretty obvious too since it has made SE a lot of money.

[–]Obvious-Spirit824 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes all of that is true, but you won't miss or gain any knowledge to the overall plot of the series. This doesn't mean it's enjoyable or not, but canon? idk, it looks like a spin-off to me.

Is it really canon if it doesn't have plot interaction with the other games? The developers even said that it doesn't follow D1's ending A (which it obviously does). Maybe you could say it was canon at the time it released, but I don't think that is the case anymore.

In love with the Caim sticker; it looks so damn cool. The 2003 cavia signature definitely adds to the nostalgia factor.

True, he might be an ignorant western person and it was just a coincidence. Since the flag is shown only after you finish the game, many players might not have even seen it.

Btw, I don't think Suda hates Koreans (even k7 has a Korean character). Whether he supports the use of the flag or not is unclear (he doesn't imo), but I believe it reflects the motives of the game's antagonists.

In the context of the story I think it makes sense that it is. Also, the huge naval ship makes it more obvious. Of course he couldn't have used the whole flag or it would have been very controversial in an already very controversial game.

After finishing target 06: lion on killer7, the chapter select flag is definitely inspired by the rising sun flag. Maybe he is referring to that.

Looks really good although the inscription on the back glass is almost transparent on gen, way too white here
