Ryu Yuki Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 (edited) To be perfectly honest, I do think they should have at least given us a translated summary of the new upcoming features. Regardless of whether Golden Week is in Japan or in South Africa, the fact remains that all players will be affected by these new features, and there are probably some of us that are considering coughing up cash for this ridiculous new focus summon that's coming up. There's no need to have a whole translated video, because that's probably way more effort than its worth regarding hiring voice actors and stuff, but I do think they ought to at least inform us of the base details that will be occurring. Just a simple page with a bit of text is fine, as long we know what is about to happen. Game developers ought to inform all its players about upcoming game content, especially since FE:H uses the same server for all languages and it's not like players from other countries will be getting these new features any later. It's one thing if Japan had their own server and were the only ones affected, but we're getting affected too. Is it really that wrong for us to want the developers to care about us to some degree...? Golden Week is fine and all, and anything that doesn't affect our accounts can be left untranslated since there's no point, but I do wonder what I'd be doing without all the Reddit people coughing up the details for us...

Why would I learn a whole language just for one game...? And besides, I actually looked into it awhile back, and I decided Japanese was too complicated and confusing to be worth my time, plus language learning software is crazy expensive. Because it can make a person more well rounded? There is no easy language to learn. Also, you're interested in a Japanese video game series, not just this game. You don't have to learn the whole language, but if you really want to know, it is much easier to learn than ここでタップをしてください means 'Tap here' then force a Japanese company to change its business practices...... believe me.

I didn't use any software or take any classes, just through exposure and a dictionary. I honestly agree that information should be handed out to non-Japanese speakers as well, though. Japanese ethnocentrism is very strong, but it's hard to call it a good excuse to ignore the rest of the world in this day and age. Well I live on the opposite side of the planet from Japan, so exposure is kind of impossible for me... And where would I find a Japanese dictionary around here? And yeah, exactly!

They're all off for said week. While everyone else it's just another week. It's a golden week celebration banner amd event. Everyone gets a banner worldwide. Golden Week and Omikuji isn't exactly a widespread thing everywhere else. Why would they care? They'd only care about orbs and feathers. Still, Nintendo didn't even do a good job of communicating what was happening (plus, I most of it doesn't even look to be related to the holiday i.e. Xander, the Awakening maps, the gauntlet, probably the ranking system too). I mean, I got an email to a Japanese video from Nintendo. If they're going to email everyone they should at least provide some translation.

Quintessence Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 What's this shitter already? A fuss because it wasn't translated? If this was a stream for jp only, then why don't you simply look details on internet or something? This wasn't even a world wide fire emblem heroes direct, so.

I'd love to get Tharja or Linde. At least I have my green mage covered with Soren. I'd rather spend on the mage banner than the golden week one to be honest, I'm more in need of mages. Knowing when would be nice so I can know how to distribute my orb spending across the two banners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm currently trying to learn Japanese with self study and started by learning Hiragana/Katakana through youtube and other easy to find sources, and then bought Genki (the textbook + the workbook and imported the japanese-only answerbook(still usable and helpful) from Japan, it's basically a college grade textbook, but works perfectly well studying alone) and it's going alright so far a couple months in.

Yeah...sounds helpful, but also a lot of money. Textbooks are always expensive. I'm not trying to make up excuses or anything, I swear, but I AM unemployed since I moved and I'm going back to school. So...I kind of need the money I have right now. I have spent on a few games, but not much and that's really as far as I'd like to go right now.

So yeah, this post 100%. Prioritizing is one thing. Virtually ignoring other playerbases completely is another. For once, I'm pretty much on your side. International players do play the game and some of them whale really hard, so I do think it's rather unfair that they can't be bothered to give us a simple text page with a few bullet points describing upcoming game features. I would forgive them if they simply planned on doing it later, but from what I understand, we're getting this crazy focus summon a whopping 2 hours later, which is like super soon. A heads-up would have been nice, really. An announcement after the fact loses its meaning. I know Golden Week is a Japanese holiday, but FE:H is an international game with an international audience. We play it and some of us pay for it. A lot. Something this major should not be quietly passing us imo. 4 minutes ago, XaosLogos said: I suppose asking for a game company to communicate well with international audiences (read: just release a simple translated announcement) is too much to ask for...
