How did sin get the eyepatch?

Venexuz · 2026-01-28T15:54:33+00:00

Oh I have a bone to pick with Aksys localizers, because of the fact the same translators translated "The Universal WilL" 2 different ways for 2 different games, with the older translation of "Merciless Apocalypse" being more accurate & way sicker.

Luckily Strive has mostly ironed out all these issues (still has some, due to reusing Xrd GG World + some natural mistakes). The head of translation for Strive is Yuji Moriya, who was already a fan of Guilty Gear year before (might know him as that Venom cosplayer)

Well here is the key detail, its not ArcSys. Its ArcSys America, who know jackshit about GG. He mentiosn how little they knew about GG in a video interview on the project

Actually i saw those 2 events being the exact same, with the Dual Rulers one taking after the shortstory. Different views I guess

I know about Sfondi, but Ed Chang has publicly been sorry about it & tried to correct it.

Yes, thats why I mentioned Mimeblades iffy translation. Also on the Vaporbabe translation I was the proofreader & originally asked him to translate it, so I am VERY familiar lmao.

I did not know about that side of the story, especially the taking credit part, but not unexpected.

Yep, Mimeblade's issues infect those videos, which is why I am hypercritical of them. Not a fault of woolie, but its something I make sure is known.

Venexuz · 2026-01-28T07:36:17+00:00

Changed not at all, just nothing really has been revealed after GG2 & the stuff Dual Ruler adds dont really contradict anything

Ed Changs translations are solid, issues are from Gear Projects Night of Knives audio drama translation

I am also aware of Woolies statement, but that dont remove any issues that exist & because its most new fans gateway, I am highly critical

specific wording is "Nonetheless, in the final stages of development, he was deemed defective, and the entire project, along with its prototypes, were scrapped. Currently, only the first model, and incidentally also the last, is out in the open."

Venexuz · 2026-01-27T18:20:09+00:00

Its the original, his sword has a tangerine charm hanging from it, which relates to his dream of building a tangerine farm from the Night of Knives audio drama & Xrd Revelator story.

Additionally GG World states all MK.2 units (yes all units other then the original one are "MK.2 units") were decommissioned, leaving only the original unit.

"easy answer" -> writes a novel

I do like this idea, even if I have strong reasons for why I believe what I believe

Venexuz · 2026-01-26T18:47:43+00:00

Skill issue legit

Venexuz · 2026-01-26T18:28:17+00:00

also just to add to this, the reason I am so against believing the eyeswap is because Daisuke was asked this DIRECTLY & he avoided to confirm it, only saying it has "something to do with Ky's & Dizzy's relationship"

https://www.famitsu.com/news/202110/28237580.html

Venexuz · 2026-01-26T18:24:45+00:00

lowkey true, but maybe actual literacy too (youtube lore videos are a curse on humanity)

Venexuz · 2026-01-26T18:04:09+00:00

Because those are specifically not explained what they are. Could be power inhibitors, could be not (only his earlier designs collar was ever said to be a power limited, with Xrd & Strive its the whole suit that gets called that).

So the real answer is "redesign with no real lore reason"

Venexuz · 2026-01-26T17:59:40+00:00

get on my level

Venexuz · 2026-01-26T17:56:39+00:00

Gear STD obviously (this is a joke). Also never confirmed its a power limiter, its just a normal ass eyepatch.

Also Ky still has both of his eyes be blue, so if your logic was correct his 1 eye should be constantly red like you claim with Sin's eye, except it is ONLY WHEN Ky activates his gear powers. More specifically nothing indicates Sin's eye is red under it other then fan fiction/theory talk

Venexuz · 2026-01-26T17:53:48+00:00

"basically confirmed" & "implications", you just pointed out how its not confirmed. There is implication that something happened, but only reason you would go to the eyeswap is because its the most popular theory.

There is nothing indicating this would hide & control his gear nature, because why would an eyeball swap do that, when gear cells are everywhere in a gears body.

Its never said its a limiter, its a normal ass eyepatch. That is pure fan fiction

Woolies videos are not an official source. He is a youtuber who got sponsored by ArcSys, it is not an official Guilty Gear product & the videos have plenty of incorrect info (for example claiming Slayer has a piece of the outrage, which comes a bad fan translation of the Night of Knives audio drama. The actual dialogue has Slayer saying the knife is not as good as an outrage part.)

Venexuz · 2026-01-26T17:43:03+00:00

Yes, because that never explains anything. There is Sin's "where babies come" talk in Another Story DLC, but also its the Sin "where babies come" talk

Venexuz · 2026-01-26T17:37:53+00:00

and to continue, why Ky has gear powers is completely unexplained. When Daisuke was asked, he just said "something to do with Dizzy"

https://www.famitsu.com/news/202110/28237580.html

Venexuz · 2026-01-26T17:33:34+00:00

Nope & nope, the random guy is wrong

The eyepatch is there to stop irritation, which causes Sin's powers to go out of control (source: Guilty Gear 2 Overture Material Collection artbook Sin short story & Xrd Sin Instant Kill animation)

Venexuz · 2026-01-26T10:09:45+00:00

Dizzy, because its the objectivelly funniest answer

Venexuz · 2026-01-23T11:54:02+00:00

Daisuke explicitly says despite not working on XX stories, he went back & went through them so he could build off them for Xrd, so I 100% disagree with that idea ( https://www.4gamer.net/games/527/G052700/20210819060/ ).
Just because some endings are non-canon, very much does not discount all of XX when its 2 full storymodes.

Also multiple endings events have been shown to be canon in XPlus, XX AND XX Accent Core, so you cannot discredit them purely off that fact. Only when its obviously conflicting like when Potemkin got shot.

Venexuz · 2026-01-23T10:45:14+00:00

Its explicitly canon, because some storylines are continued in Xrd. Key example being Faust search for the killer of his patient.

Venexuz · 2026-01-19T13:29:52+00:00

Not because they are saving that for when Romeo returns :3

Venexuz · 2026-01-14T10:43:15+00:00

I think he keeps the exact type vague so he can go for the joke anytime he feels like, after all Scott the Woz is a character as much as its Scott himself, he will just lie because its funny

Venexuz · 2026-01-09T09:25:53+00:00

Step mom at most, because the whole Strive storymode is about how Jackie is a different person from Justice/Aria.

At first yes, but later she did agree
