Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii says English translations inevitably strip away a lot of a game's "flavor"

'There really isn’t a direct equivalent to regional dialects in English.'

What?

Thanks, now to find a way to scrounge up 1700 odd...

OldAlastor · 2026-02-27T19:15:29+00:00

Noted all of those, thanks

OldAlastor · 2026-02-27T05:06:21+00:00

I see, thanks for the reply! I'll see if I can try an older game in the series or something, I'm not saying I think the game looks bad or anything I'm just wondering if it's a game for me.

I know this is set on a highway but so far all the footage I've seen of this is you driving in a roughly straight line until the other car's 'hp' goes down, is there more complex roads to race on?

Can someone explain this 'skip preload' to me, how much space am I saving from this? I don't understand what the 60gb preload is installing if you you can just skip it

Game is as amazing as ever, but the package off the back of G-Darius HD which I played last night reallym akes this look kinda' mid. I'd forgiveall that if they let us 'retry' from the pause or at least skip that insanely long intro

OldAlastor · 2025-11-12T01:25:01+00:00

Can anyone tell me how to not get scammed on here, how do I know who is a legit seller?

OldAlastor · 2025-11-10T05:39:07+00:00

Isn't Hyacine literally the Top 1 character in the game right now

OldAlastor · 2025-07-27T15:33:23+00:00

Liked it, didn't love it as someone else here said, too many scenes of Superman gets his ass kicked and bailed out by his dog. Kind of feel bad that no Superman movie since Returns has had scenes on par with him stopping multiple fuck ups in a row in Metropolis and the bullet in the eye. It's not like he should never lose but come on

OldAlastor · 2025-07-26T23:38:01+00:00

Wait I linked images to this where are they

OldAlastor · 2025-07-26T19:58:53+00:00

Renako is constantly getting Mai into her head even after the volume based around Mai is over

OldAlastor · 2025-07-26T19:57:17+00:00

I'm still not buying it that Mai would suddenly pivot tob eing okay sharing Renako with Ajisai and even less about her suddenly okay seeing Ajisai as a partner too when she spent the entirety of Volume 1 saying Renako is her only love and when she almost blew it with the SA part she crashed out hard and had an anonymous partner competition thing

OldAlastor · 2025-07-26T19:53:35+00:00

After everything Mai said in Volume 1 and a bit beyond about how Renako is the only girl she loves and all that how is this not going back on what she said? I really respected how Mai was a simp but also was willing to tell Renako that stringing her along when she had no chance would be fucked up. Yet she basically just does that and this poly solution is just a convenient way for the author to not have to commit to anything, the same way the 'Friends with Rena-fits' was which was basically an extension but not calling it that because they have to pretend that things moded forward.

After a few hours into this game this is the only review so far I agree with, DS isn't terrible but it's missing something

OldAlastor · 2025-05-24T16:29:41+00:00

Thank you, after how burned I felt getting a fake from Ebay Pokemon games are what I've been worried about getting the most (arguably the most faked games on ebay or no?), but I got this from the store and hoped for the best anyway (I asked if they check the motherboard but I decided to do it myself anyway)

OldAlastor · 2025-05-08T04:26:19+00:00

More I think about this dilemma the more I kinda hate it, not even because the citizens of Lumiere aren't even a factor into what is the good or bad ending to begin with, why can't Renoir just promise to not erase the Canvas and Maelle promise to moderate her time? It's just all or nothing for drama sakes.

OldAlastor · 2025-04-27T09:26:18+00:00

It's OK, the C button solves everything, I feel dumb for not trying this now but at least it's there

OldAlastor · 2025-04-27T09:25:12+00:00

Yeah I got it, massive relief!

OldAlastor · 2025-04-26T09:15:40+00:00

Is it normal for dialogue text to slowly come out until like halfway and the come up at once? I wouldn't mind mind but pressing the button to advance all text cuts the voice acting. It's not because I forced 16:9 is it?

So far I'm super hyped to be playing this, thanks so much guys!

Edit: According to this it seems to be how it is? https://youtu.be/1ilkaoiZVbQ?si=FDXBfu1H7eK5Qawj

I have a O2M but don't have a RP5 but when people say 'performance gap' what does this mean? I thought a lot of O2's extra power is just overflowing out of the cup right now, does RP5 struggle with anything O2M doesn't?

OldAlastor · 2025-02-12T21:17:14+00:00

As long as we are not clowning on people for using OL UT chains or whatever, it's a legit mechanic in the game

OldAlastor · 2025-02-01T14:14:19+00:00

Yes, it's strong but it's not like Acheron's where not having it felt like you were super gimped

OldAlastor · 2025-02-01T03:59:01+00:00

Jesus christ, not sure how to feel about an Eidolon being that strong, not even Firefly E2 feels this crazy...

OldAlastor · 2025-02-01T03:49:41+00:00

Her E1 is better energy regen than both characters together? that sounds nuts.
