You don't try to make sense of the FE7 localization. It is a fruitless endeavor. ...I will say, though, I prefer this change to having yet another name that is reused in the series. Modern FE does that often enough, even though it's incredibly simple to avoid. I mean, heck, with Harold they didn't even have to avoid it. They deliberately chose to change his name to Arthur, which not only has nothing to do with his original name, it had also been already used. Twice, if you count Artur. How did that happen?

It's has to be confusing when it comes to pronouncing the names. Sarah might be "Sa-ruh" and Serra be the more modern "Seh-ra" 1 minute ago, Saint Rubenio said: You don't try to make sense of the FE7 localization.

In all fairness, when you have a franchise with over 600 characters, you're bound to have some repeating names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still. In the old days they did things like Artur and Arthur, or the one we're discussing, Sarah and Serra. Nothing easier than calling new Lorenz Lawrence. Or heck, Spanify it like the second Robert, call him Lorenzo. There's no need to reuse the name... And I'm still waiting for an explanation for the Harold/Arthur issue. 3 minutes ago, Acacia Sgt said: Yet still no John yet... smh...

Hey, there's a Jonathan in Berwick Saga, which as we know totally counts as FE. Maybe the explanation with Arthur is that they wanted to have a "King Arthur" reference in the European inspired kingdom. Though I agree with you, I would've preferred Harold Bluetooth.

Benice Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Last year for french, we read a book I really, really disliked called La Route de Chlifa, featuring lots of filler, an author fixated on breats and a main character I didn't like at all. It was ratd 3.2/5 on Goodreads, which is admittedly not the best soure for ratings. ...The play we're gonna read next, Zone, is rated 3.1/5. I am terribly afraid.

Punished Dayni Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Hmm, what to make of seeing Legends Arceus actually play. Apparently they're saying this is not final gameplay footage, which sounds a bit out there this close to release. Even if it's older footage as one commenter posited, that's a weird choice now to still be using the that version and keep the game looking like this if the have it better already. The Agile and Strong moves idea doesn't look like it's very deep either to be honest. Overall, not looking too standout now and I doubt there'll be a demo out before release to give me a direct feel to possibly reconsider (For reference, NEO TWEWY was a day 1 purchase with the demo being a big part of it) Also, catching even when you don't put a pokemon out to fight gives experience. Guess that's not something this group of devs took issue with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So basically I just suck I mean, it might have something to do with me using my weaker units over stronger units in chapters since I'm obsessed with not leaving anybody behind.

At some stage you can't really use everyone, in my first playthrough (same difficulty) some units had to be benched well before the end. I'd say who and why but that save file's gone for years. What levels are everyone at generally? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess that's not something this group of devs took issue with. I can imagine it'll be "nice concept, nice break from the mainline format whilst still being an RPG", but technically deficient. Such failures of graphics, animations, and processing are going to be a serious turnoff for some particularly with a franchise as small and impoverished as Pokemon. This said, I can expect the game won't bomb. It's Pokemon after all. And, among the critical Pokefans -excluding the unwashed masses- some are still bound to buy it anyhow, likely some of them being those who praise experimentation and ambition, and are more willing to tolerate execution errors. That, and while I've parted ways with Pokemon, I am interested in Rune Factory 5. The game whose comment sections I was reminded earlier today, are never complete without criticisms of the frame rate. Sometimes couched in language suggesting the reason Marvelous has wasted time that could've been spent doing so adding s/s marriage, which is ridiculous. Some lag isn't going to bother me that much, though obviously I would prefer for the game to be without it. It reminds me of what I've seen on forums for the Civilization franchise, the amount of bashing the developers for the AI's complete incompetency in recent games is extreme. The points aren't without justification, I've seen the AI's stupidity in practice. But, some polemicists seem like they would rather have Pong be the only video game to exist if it was the only game whose CPU could graduate college, than have there be any other video games at all. 21 minutes ago, Armagon said: She's also just really good in gameplay.

It doesn't have to be deep after all, you're a Mia fan. It's only a crime if you like a character for erotic reasons and publicly admit to it.😛 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
