GuardianSing Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Bonus Quetzal Attorney time! Continuing with Edgeworth totally not being gay. Phoenix being wrong. Moments that make me really curious on how they were portrayed in the original Japanese version. Like seriously, does this take place in the States in the original? It's nearly explicitly said so here but it's interesting to think of a Japanese game making references to the North and South divide, but it could also just be a translation of similar regional discrimination in the Japanese conscious. Also apparently this game takes place in the distant year of 2016. And this image that I see being posted every Christmas for some reason.

No, it does not. It takes place in Japan. Kinda. Lotta's accent in Japan is that of Osaka, which... in general, it's the one that tends to be turned into a Southern/Dixie accent when it goes through US English translation. She is meant to be a "Stereotypical person from Osaka", so US localization follows suit. Quote Also apparently this game takes place in the distant year of 2016. I don't think I got to play the game in that year. One doesn't get to do that a lot. I remember I did played Ace Combat 5 in the year the game takes place, 2010. Complete to playing the actual missions on their actual dates down to the day. Not the hour, because some wouldn't have have been feasible, heh. For the record, the original Japanese doesn't give dates. It's only assume to happen at "present time". At least for Phoenix Trilogy. So in Japan, present day is 2001, making 15 years ago the year 1986. Though again, it's not official. That said... maybe it was deliberate. Since 2001 is the year the game originally came out. So localization wanted to make a reference? Probably. That aside, I find it kinda neat localization went for this. Because when you take into account Phoenix's age, it means he was born late 1992 or early 1993. So... he's between Wraith and I in age, hahaha. But just Phoenix, not Naruhodo. Quote And this image that I see being posted every Christmas for some reason. Remember folks, careful wording can save lives. This has been your PSA of the day!

Nope, definitely in Japan, there is a bit of a joke about "burgers" being the equivalent of Pokemon's jelly donuts. Also from what I remember Lotta had the distinctive Osaka accent in the original. The localization was given a lot of leeway to capture the feel of the Japanese wordplay, and sense of humor that pervaded the script, and I think they did a solid job of it, although it originally being set in Japan become more noticeable in some of the sequels.

BrightBow Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Man, Sabu is completely wasted in River City Girls 2. I'm sure some corners were cut for the lategame. Like, there must have been meant to be an actual boss fight against the Dragon Twins, for one thing. Because as is, that encounter plays out really strangely. Still, I feel like those hypothetical corners could have only helped so much. Maybe the comedy of errors style plot of the first game just played more to Wayforward's strengths. I mean, Sabuko didn't do anything before she was fought either. But it made sense there because she was no antagonist in the first place. Like the other bosses, she just happened to be at a location where the girls happened to look for Kunio and Rikki. But that's just not cutting it for an active, antagonistic force like Sabu is supposed to be. Doesn't exactly help that Sabu got hyped up a lot. Besides the strong first impression he leaves in the game's intro... well, he was also the big unseen presence in the first game. Storming the Yakuza building, you were expecting to face Sabu until you got hit with the old bait & switch. Then of course Wayforward localized Kunio-tachi no Banka earlier that year. And despite his limited screentime, Sabu most certainly leaves an impression there, with his ruthlessness and cold efficiency. Really good game and all. But an unintentional anti-climax is always such a damn shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So here's everyone's favorite: The Summer Beach Fanservice Episode! Of course it's one of the DLC stages, making you pay a bit extra for it! Not even SRW can avoid it I suppose. How frequent can this even be in mecha anime? 9 hours ago, Acacia Sgt said: Just then Armors show up, and Fasalina reveals herself to the rest of the group... in a different swimsuit. Because of course. Anyway, only Priscilla and Allenby brought their mechs, but getting to them will prove difficult. And then who shows up but Sai and Tobia, ready to buy them time! The girls are shocked to see them and the two... well, admit they had come to sightsee, if you get what I mean. After some teasing to the young boys from Fasalina (because of course), the stage begins! Ah now lads. 7 hours ago, Acacia Sgt said: Oh, interesting. Next Desert banner was Khadein.

People bitching about the turnwheel and blaming gameplay issues on it instead of, ya know, 3H bullshit design. It's like they don't wanna any tools to help people at all. It's casual mode all over again and the fear that "casual mode will kill perma death gameplay in FE" ...and you know which game was it that totally felt not cool with Perma death/Iron man? Fucking 3H ...Was Fodlan a mistake all along Aslong as the game isn't designed like 3H maddening or Super Thracia turnwheel is an optional thing. At this point I'd just tell you to disengage. These people have no power, what the games turn out like is all up to IntSys. The only power they have is the power to annoy you, and that's if you let them. Quote Ruben, anything bad you did in your hack you did because Save states exist! You are correct. Go play Ruben Stones everyone. I promise you will have a grand ol' time. I have been a very kind man. 11 hours ago, Edelguardiansing said: I actually have heard about this before how depending on any amiibo you've scanned you get a special song from that game. I only have female Corrin so unfortunately no Alight but Dark Fall is pretty good to. If a bit anxiety inducing. I'd like to have a Corncob. Though mostly due to a lack of Garon amiibo. I don't care much for amiibos in general, but you can bet I'd be jumping on that one like a starving hyena. 11 hours ago, Edelguardiansing said: The irony of the commoner saying this to the noble.

Screw Clarine. Quote Chapter 10 was kind of a train wreck : I somehow managed to recruit Gonzales with a lvl 1 Lilina but Klain and his boys decided that it would be funny to pile up in the one tile large corridor to the right. And even with rescue dropping from Shanna , Clarisse didn't have enough movement to talk to him. Also looks like Tate doesn't care if Shanna talks to her so I can kiss my Orion's bolt and Elisan Whip goodbye. Not resetting for Clarisse , i'll get Cecilia in like 3 chapters and I promoted my Lugh. I'm probably not getting the good ending aren't I Edit : Also learned something new. The AI put massive priority on the weapon triangle and being able to ignore counterattack to the point that they will spend 10 turns chucking javelins with 30% hit rates and 0 might at my promoted Treck , but if they see a kill , they will go for it. So yeah my Gonzales is dead. Echidna's version of Chapter 10 is one of the toughest in this game, so don't feel bad.

Personally, I think he usually just doesn't care a fig for human contact... But on the odd occasion that he does find himself riddled with unnecessary feelings... Yeah he gay. 4 hours ago, Edelguardiansing said: Phoenix being wrong. Yeah, Edgeworth exists. 4 hours ago, Edelguardiansing said: Like seriously, does this take place in the States in the original? Nope. In fact, it was always supposed to take place in Japan, as it's taking digs at the Japanese court system and it features a lot of Japanese-like cultural stuff. However... Okay, this is really dumb. The localization team was worried that timezones would make the clock puzzle in the tutorial case a bit less intuitive. So they just rewrote the entire game to take place in California. This screwed over the entire series' localizations going forward, as they had to account for this nonsense, and it only got harder and harder with each game. There's a reason it's a meme. To be honest, I've always found the English localizations for this series to be rather... ho-hum. There's this stupidity, and every two games it seems like they had no proofreader because they are riddled with typos (the original versions, at least). This is most egregious in the second game, where one of the most climatic scenes in the game has a massive typo that ruins the entire vibe. Legit, I find the fanslation for Investigations 2 to be of higher quality than some of the official localizations the series has seen. The fanslation is great, but it doesn't help that the quality of the official localizations is... inconsistent. 1 hour ago, Shrimpy -Limited Edition- said: It wasn't that bad during 3H era i feel, Edelgard discussions aside, and even that atleast it wasn't "Elitism" moment.

Saint Rubenio Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Oh right, I almost forgot. I had a dream tonight. The dream was that @Edelguardiansing played Banner Saga and called it their new favorite videogame series of all time. Then I went to a public restroom and started uncomfortably pissing an outrageous amount of a green, gooey goop until the entire place was flooded up to my knees. Then I woke up at 3 AM and had to go take a piss. I dream a lot, but this has to be one of the dumbest dreams I've ever had. Any experts on the meaning of dreams here, may I ask what the fuck? 1 minute ago, Shrimpy -Limited Edition- said: The Engage is real! Can we get it much higher?

Dang, Lot's not been doing well? That makes me sad. Lot's one of my favorites from Binding Blade. Then again, that's part of the beauty of this game. There's so many scrubs.

Until Engage was confirmed most of the subreddit was fanart of Houses and more fanart of Houses. Of course, it's not an absolute - there was occasional fanart of other games and, once in a blue moon, some discussion threads. But for someone who's no fan of Houses there was very little reason to go there anymore lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
