Interdimensional Observer Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 (edited) Got back to Eternights after another several days' absence, it's all I want to play on the laptop right now, and I can't really think of anything to play in this window before UO on the Switch. -But I'm being annoyingly to myself veeeeery particular when I allow myself to play Eternights.😆 I'm realizing my "work then play" plan is definitely the opposite of what should be done with this game. Bonding before the next (rather short) dungeon is much better. Since combat provides almost no character-strengthening whatsoever, as stats and skills almost entirely get stronger from bonding alone. Still being an ARPG, dodge enough while landing the occasional hit and you'll eventually win. -Though I did have to resort to temporarily lowering things to easy mode on the second boss after a few tries. Partly because before getting to the boss there was a mandatory mini-game with no "skip" option😐 that I had messed up on several times, so my reflexes were already worn (thank goodness there was a checkpoint in the room with the boss).😅 The game didn't say what easy does, but certainly I was taking less damage, though what i wonder is whether it slows enemy attack speed or widens the slo-dodge window. Still very much a cheesy game, and you can notice that it's a one-person project, but I'm liking it.😀 3 hours ago, Armagon said: Another one Gotta hope the newly-unemployed manage to land on their feet soon enough. Ideally in small game studios they themselves found, that in turn achieve whatever small business game development success looks like (ever so closer to bankruptcy, ever so safer from the stockholders). Again, highly doubtful with only so many gamers out there and so many games as is. But one would like to hope that all these sad amputations can have some positive longer-term meaning, like saplings emerging from the ground after a terrible wildfire. 3 hours ago, Armagon said: I feel like the demo provided enough content that anyone who was sold on it will be positive on it. Fair point. I'll admit I'm not actually psyched up at all for UniO, despite doing all those art postings. But then overt excitement over a game doesn't happen that often with me.😅 Edited February 29 by Interdimensional Observer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acacia Sgt Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 (edited) It does say Sting stated it will go on Mobile and Steam too. Would be weird to not have it go International... It might be like Yggdra Union, where it took a while for international releases, but they did arrived in the end. In any case... Nice, this could finally be my chance to try it out.

I'm going to assume you heard of this at the city, but people walk for days through northern Spain until they get to Santiago on foot. They call that the Path of Santiago. It's actually a rather big cultural deal in Spain. Heck, even I know that one. One of my cousins spent a while in Spain, and I think he ended up walking the Path of Santiago at some point. He had a funny story about the Pope giving out indulgences for those taking the Path of Santiago and trying to get them to forgive the sin of being an atheist from it for the laughs. On 2/27/2024 at 1:12 PM, Shrimpy -Limited Edition- said: No, it's the norm, and honestly, and after how many examples i post - which i did quite plenty in the different talks of loc issues we had - it's beyond "cherry picking". It really isn't. To use the example I know best of the ones you posted, FE games, there hasn't been a moment where they had to fix a translation after release after massive outcry, or talk about the localizers going behind anyone's back to change things. Sure it isn't perfect, and never will be due to the interpretive nature of localization, but things are nowhere as dire as you paint them. On 2/27/2024 at 1:12 PM, Shrimpy -Limited Edition- said: am i putting where i work at and talking about my personal work experience? There's quite a few different levels between "Imma complain about work in general here" and "I will talk about all details of work here and hate on anyone who asks questions". If i post here where i work at and my real name and complain about work specific stuff and hate on all the clients openly like these people do you are free to call me out (and most likely i would be rightfully fired by then) Or maybe call me out when i respond to your work related questions by swearing at you 🙂 For someone who hates the monotony of work, you are really bending yourself over backwards to justify why localizer should have no complaints about a bunch of strangers on the internet trying to prevent them from having any time off from their work, or the monetary compensation that would normally come with doing all this extra work. On 2/27/2024 at 1:12 PM, Shrimpy -Limited Edition- said: And i do find your view also massively skewed towards official localizations - and in fact almost everyone's here. I still follow fan translation groups in alot of niche media - there's alot of drama, but also alot of community input and love. yet without them the series wouldn't be even known here nor would there be an official localization. And if there's one, fan groups need to fix it anyway as it ends up being subpar. And without the era of fan translations, most of us wouldn't be even here. There are more problems with the wild west of fan translation than official localizations, but you don't see me talking about harassing fanslators online to try and solve those issues. Also you are really dismissing the role official translations had in why most of us are here; I doubt you can find many people here who didn't either play an officially translated FE game or Smash Bros game to introduce them to the series before they dove into fanslations. You need both. On 2/27/2024 at 1:54 PM, Saint Rubenio said: Well, of those three fanslations, two were so excruciatingly deplorable that I dropped both mangas in large part because of them. The doofuses were translating from English, so badly that I could just read the Google Translate every other sentence. Unironically, I could've done a better job. Its less common than that in English, but I have definitely seen quite a few manga chasing the first to translate views with English so bad that I wondered if anyone other than google knew English in the translation team. Honestly, I was surprised by Shrimpy trying to paint manga fanslation as in a better position than videogames, when it has some very serious (if slightly different) issues with it as well (I guess anime was included in the portmantau used, and I haven't payed enough attention to them recently enough to really judge). On 2/27/2024 at 2:10 PM, Newtype06 said: Context: I started a game as the Count of Anglesey in 769 and quickly formed Brythoniaid (Wales) and established a foothold in Lloegyr (*ngland). A generation later, the Empire of Prydain is formed and my goal of purging all traces of Anglo-Saxon culture from the islands begins in earnest. On a related note, the Charlemagne start date SUCKS ASS! If you're not playing as Charlie with Story Events on, Asturias or as the Byzzies trying to restore Rome, Central Europe degenerates into heresies, paganism and bordergore shitshow. And it gets even worse if the Umayyads form Hispania and invade Aquitaine (this happens 99% of the time). Oddly enough, I think I have seen the opposite problem more with the 769 start, where all of western Europe consolidates into a super HRE, unless the player is close enough to kill it in its infancy.

On 2/27/2024 at 3:58 PM, GuardianSing said: I- How did you get here? Lol, I guess they figured you were done with promoting by this point. On 2/27/2024 at 3:58 PM, GuardianSing said: Personally if feel that if you're gonna make a game where the player gets to decide who marries who, you should just make everyone bisexual at that point, why limit yourself, they're gonna write fanfiction about it anyways. Personally, I would prefer to see NPC sexuality used to characterize them a bit more. Make some of them actually gay, not just bi for the protagonist. Even more extreme, I think it would be interesting if some characters weren't interested in the player in spite of them showing interest in other people of the same gender. On 2/27/2024 at 4:25 PM, Lightchao42 said: The next game will be either Johto or Unova related-- By Arceus, it's Zygarde with a steel chair! I thought Pokemon Legends Celebi to be more likely (Celebi is the time travel pokemon...), but with Kalos's ancient war, I knew it would be ripe for an early Legends entry, and thought it more likely than anything Unova related. 19 hours ago, GuardianSing said: So just throwing some ideas...

Hey now, the "In America" translation has been outdated for a while now 😛 Although on a less silly note, there was some talk early in development about a third arc to the game, about the second generation exploring what became of the first generation after the time skip, and this sounds like it could have fit into that older scrapped plan nicely.

I am active in different animanga and gaming communities - the "good" eggs are far more than a fucking handful, communication with good and beloved localizers happen more often than you think (infact, just witnessed one happen yesterday) and criticism ain't just harassment and death threats. I won't deny the existence of "bad eggs", never did and never will, but so many more have actual constructive criticism and legit grievances - but i guess a biased view from outside makes the world easy for you.

Saint Rubenio Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 You ever think about how Selena has fluorspar pendants, Valter and Glen's color palettes are moon and sun themed, Riev and Duessel's hair matches the colors of their respective stones and Caellach... ...I don't know how Caellach fits into the pattern. He doesn't look much like a tiger eye, or a tiger for that matter. He does have massively sunken eyes. I guess his armor is black and his hair is red, which is... sometimes the color pattern of a tiger eye? Actually with the large eye bags that color pattern also applies to his eyes specifically. Huh. I just find the fluorspar pendants neat. Selena compensates for not being the best villain in a game filled with awesome villains by having a great design.
