Do not piss me off Nippon.😠 Oh yeah, from what i hear the story itself is pretty yikes. Like yeah the premise is so outlandishly stupid that it's funny but according to people who've read it, it leans on reverse discrimination. So yeah, not good. Why Seven Seas decided to localize this, i have no clue but then again i don't know why they localize like most of the shit they localize. 10 minutes ago, Interdimensional Observer said: Sorta. Ys VIII specifically starts with a shipwreck and the survivors wash up on a completely uninhabited island. There aren't that many survivors, so you get to bond with all of them to some degree. I thought it rather charming I was sorta more referring to questlines. Cause bonding with NPCs is neat but i'm guessing they all have like their own little stories here?

Ys 8 released at a really good time iirc, but first port was so shit, game had overwhemingly negative reviews because of it. And let's not forget the first translation...

After years of just "Normals" and "Uniques", it's nice to have middle grounds. And it's also because of this that i really don't think the level penalties will be in the game. Well I think its great that they are giving the player a better incentive to challenge themselves. Wait, the rare drops enemies are gonna be harder? Level penalty is never coming back, haha.

This is reminding me of Gunvolt 1's notorious original localization. A localization that butchered the game's script, removing 90% of the stage dialogue and several base interactions, invented swears that weren't in the original and just invented a new pronoun for the non-binary character. The team responsible for this? 8-4. You know, the guys who localized DSFE and Awakening, Xenoblade X and maybe a few other well known games. The Gunvolt 1 localization was so bad that Inti Creates made their own for the Steam release, which restored all of the removed content and has a more faithful localization. This would get retroactively patched in to Gunvolt 1 on 3DS. Since then, Inti Creates themselves localize their games (and a neat thing is that they get the Japanese voice actors to dub the English names of SP Skills). The Inti Creates localization is the optimal way to play Gunvolt 1 but in an act of preservation, the original 8-4 localization can also be selected if you want to see how bad it is. And some people don't realize this and end up playing that and end up getting a negative perception of the series. Haha i rambled a bit there. 6 minutes ago, Interdimensional Observer said: I'll assume this is some random desperate-to-stand-out-in-an-oversaturated-sea-of-manga piece of niche popular literature.

If you do, it's... relatively simple. Relatively. You just have to make sure that your sleep edge user doesn't have the ability to double or crit the knights, and then you're set. As long as the RNG cooperates. If you don't have a sleep edge, it's basically impossible. So uh. Yeah. Sleep Edge... check. Units who can't double or crit with an A rank in swords might be trick. I'm thinking Dean might work. He's got A swords and dismounting penalties affect him. Leif and Fergus are right out though. Fergus has 20 skill.. and 20 strength.. and 18 defense... and 16 speed. Even with dismounting penalties he's kind of going to destroy anything I send him at. As for Leif... I'm pretty sure he'll be busy elsewhere. 12 hours ago, Dayni said: I cannot pretend to be ready to get Xavier legit ever. Working off a cartridge means I'm going to have the "fun" of no save states.... so it's legit or nothing. But I'm opting not even to try for the member's card because I figure I'm not even going to have the money to buy stat-boosters anyway given how I rarely sell anything I do capture or steal.

I have no clue. 8-4 has had a good track record and people do like their localizations. They are responsible for Marth's characterization in Shadow Dragon. So why did they butcher Gunvolt 1 like they did? There's "a small bump in their track record" and then there's whatever the hell this was.

BrightBow Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 (edited) They removed like half the frames of Gunvolt. Unless Inti actually designed the game that way. And clearly a studio with their experience would not make such an obvious misstep that instantly prevents any and all fast-paced sidescrollers from having good game feel like putting in a 29 frame cap. Heck, they made Zero 1 and ZX1. Games that were total trainwrecks in terms of design, but were still enjoyable because their characters were just fun to control. Moving felt good, jumping felt good, blowing shit up felt good. They wouldn't make that kind of mistake.

Leif, Dean, Fred, Fergus and Ralph have the required sword rank. Problem is Fred's combination of dismounting penalties, con and speed means he ends up with an attack speed of 1 with the thing.... some of the armours have 5 or 6 AS. Others have 0. My ideal would be three... but Dean, Ralph and Fergus go so far above it it's not funny. Leif on the other hand would end up with the perfect three AS. 20 weight minus 7 con being 13, and Leif having 16 speed would put him at 3. So Leif might unironically be my best bet.

Saint Rubenio Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Spoilers inside, obviously, but... Eh, the game goes hard on the lore, but is light on the ongoing plot. Most bosses's appearances aren't spoilers. The only ones that are spoilers by themselves the final two bosses after Tubal, so if you care at all about that stuff, don't watch those. Oh, and if you intend to play the game, don't watch the sixth boss. For reasons. Anyway, what I'm saying is, Rogue Legacy 2 good and you should play it instead of watching my video about it.
