Anacybele Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 3 minutes ago, Alkaid said: Maybe he portion of the Heroes playerbase we make up is a lot smaller than we think? I don't know. Either way it's lame though.I don't even think stuff like the early Michalis GHB challenge hour was ever announced through non-Japanese channels either. If nothing else I'm just saying I'd like if the info about the game came straight to us instead of needing to go through fan forums and fan twitter accounts to find it. Seems like bad business on their end too to not let a chunk of their playerbase not know what's up about some stuff. I suppose it could be, but I agree, it's pretty lame and does seem like bad business. We don't have a Facebook page or Twitter or anything for this though. Yet, Pokemon GO does, of course... (which is understandable since it's Pokemon, but still). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, Golden Week starts next week. Today is our last day of Parent - Teacher interviews (thank God)! My apologies. I kept thinking it was Friday already being done from how badly I didn't want to go to work tomorrow. I just get steamed at complaints that say "It's unfair Japan isn't telling us about this" when everyone gets the benefits worldwide. The reason they don't translate this crap is things like when the twitter quiz was happening. People were throwing insults out without knowing Japanese at all.

Rezanator Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 With an English news feed it would cover a vast amount of the market. It is a lot easier to translate from English to other languages afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mean to insult Japanese, SOC, so I'm sorry if I came off that way. It's just that it simply makes sense to post the news worldwide since the game is a worldwide thing and FE is now marketed as a major IP as pointed out earlier. And yes, we get the benefits, but we don't learn when or extra details about them or anything. We could miss out on some stuff entirely because we have no idea that we should be booting up the game to update it. Not everybody goes to Twitter or SF or speaks Japanese. I wouldn't have known about a lot of stuff as soon as I did without SF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be like if we had a INDEPENDENCE DAY and didn't translate something for a game online for people who only speak German, or a THANKSGIVING DAY event for the same thing, and didn't translate it for folks in Brazil. Heck, Canada's Thanksgiving is in October. Think about it like that, and at it should make more sense about effort. Even if the game's worldwide, translating every detail for everything would likely require teams going into detail for events, and that's taking resources away from working on the actual event material (as a web developer, it's something I run into with clients from overseas that have holidays that we don't, like India's Festival of Colors, which is a gigantic holiday out there but one I'm forced to work around despite never having heard of it until this job) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I still think it's in their best interest to let all players have a heads up on what's going on if it's something important enough. That Michalis early GHB event is a prime example.

Xaos Steel Wing Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Do we know when the mage gauntlet will be? 3 minutes ago, Alkaid said: I was literally about to post the same comparison, this is next level ninja'd.

The holiday the event is based around might be only in Japan, but the in-game event will be global, and that's what people care about. I don't think it would take a lot of effort to make a tweet or post in English to let us know that X will be happening at such and such a time.

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?

fangpoint333 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 New voting gauntlet looks silly. Why put Leo in again when he was in the first one? Also it could have used a Nino as she's the only character who can possibly stop Tharja from sweeping and give Eilbe some attention. I don't think they've had any thus far. New focus banner needs to have the title "OP HEROES." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We mean not translating information like the banner, gauntlet, and other information. Not the holiday event. Like I said, I understand why that's a Japanese-only thing. But not bothering to tell us about this gauntlet or the Xander battle or anything? Makes no sense to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually learnt Japanese just because of one game lmao. I didn't use any software or take any classes, just through exposure and a dictionary. To be fair, being Chinese meant I skipped all of the hardest steps. 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.
