I'm happy that NISA got fucked. This is really gonna set 'em back for a long time and damage their reputation irreparably.

just wish the falcom community didn't have to suffer; those poor bastards

>WHY THE FUCK DID WE BUY THIS FROM XSEED!?

Good, continue to get fucked NISA. Xseed for life.

>>13733588

They can take one for the team.

>a bunch of faggots still bitching about a translation but they don't even speak Japanese

Monolingual Amerifats need to go.

fuck this, im translating it myself.

I've only got N2 proficiency, but it should be enough.

>>13733607

Wait, XSEED was pushed off from doing this? I thought they were just passed over from the start

>>13733660

>Passed over from doing YS

>One of the best selling Falcom franchises that they know has much more appeal than other Falcom IPs besides Trails

Anon please

Put out a low effort cheap release and end up spending more money than you would have if you just did it properly in the first place. Good job NISA. Hopefully this damages their reputation to the point where XSEED gets Ys back.

>>13733671

I didn't say XSEED opted out, I said passed over as in they were ignored in favor of NISA because someone there did the best blowjobs.

>Ys VIII

Didn't that have denuvo?

You think they might be trying to sue for the rights to their game back from denuvo?

>>13733646

N2 is more than enough for an easy game like this. Post something up here I passed the N2 last year and I'd be more than happy to help.

>>13733629

Hey! Maybe we learned an actual useful language like Spanish, Chinese and Russian. Learning a language for anime, manga and games could hardly be called useful.

>>13733751

Turns out going after a game with a small but dedicated fanbase was not the right target for NISA's fuckery. I know falcom might not have known, but really they should've. Hell they might well have, but didn't give a shit about their western fans.

>>13733726

I used to live there so I learned it for a job and now I work for a Japanese company and make 60K/yr and get regular business trips there at least once every 3 months for about a week at a time. Being able to consume Japanese media is just another benefit. I was being facetious, but you're right if you live in the States you're better off learning Spanish, Chinese, or Russian since you'd be better off learning the language of your new overlords goyim.

>>13733767

>but really they should've.

not quite.

>but didn't give a shit about their western fans.

definitely not.

Look, you need to understand something to really get where you are in the industry and how you can really affect change. You are at the bottom of the ladder. But you are also part of the most important market in the world. There's a complex of systems keeping things under wraps. Here's what you don't do:

Blame FALCOM. Falcom picked the studio that told them what they wanted to hear

<we will have the PC and PS4 and Vita versions ready for a western launch in 2017

<we will have them out at the same time

<we have a great reception with our fans and our translations are considered industry standard, just look at all the positive reviews:

<The positive reviews:

NISA is friendly with journos. Journous wanna be friendly with NISA. They scratch each others backs. This is a situation that is simple to understand. NISA has the pull to get those good reviews for the sake of getting more and more third parties signed up for their translations.

<You are part of an incestuous system.

Xseed had some bad PR during one of the previous translations, NISA no doubt used this and stressed the disappointment Falcom may have had with how long it took things to turn out. The primary source of information these japanese studios have for information is the journalists in the west and the middle-men translators themselves.

<This is not falcoms fault.

They wanted a good product, they wanted their game to be treated well, and they thought they were getting treated well. All the positive coverage looked good, and then it landed. Couldn't hide it. Turning that hatred onto falcom is a waste and only serves to create division.

When a deal is too good to be true you think twice

>>13733710

It’s coming to GOG so I doubt it.

>>13733578

I wish Nisa would fucking die already. Nothing would make me happier.

YOU WILL NEVER EVER LEARN MOONRUNES

>>13733660

They weren't passed over from the start. From what I understand XSEED fought hard to get YS 8, but NISA brought a better deal by lying through their teeth about the PC release being at the same time. Which was probably the biggest thing Falcom wanted. That and a 2017 release that XSEED most likely said they couldn't do (rightfully so since they actually put effort into Falcom titles). Falcom got greedy and went with the worst company.

>>13733629

>implying you can't enjoy NISA dying even if you know Japanese

I just want the whole localization industry to collapse. Lord knows they deserve it.

>>13735908

All we can hope is that this further cements XSEED as the better choice in future localization efforts by not only Falcom but other companies as well. I only hope NISA didn't get a contract agreement with them doing a set amount of games and are just fucking dropped like a sack of shit.

>>13735962

Honestly, Falcom should just pull an Idea Factory already and start an International branch. Just use Xseed as script super visors so the new branch employees get accustomed to the various series. Then let Xseed handle localizations and PC ports of all their older games while the official branch focuses on the newer games.

Plus once the hypothetical Falcom International gets focused they can start picking up non-falcom IPs and that means one more publisher in the industry protecting IPs from NISA

>YS

>Jrpg

Since when? Last time I checked it was a fucking button masher.

>>13733660

>Wait, XSEED was pushed off from doing this?

So they'll get CS3 out before 2019.

>>13736736

>button masher

>bump system

pick one

>>13733839

I disagree. Receiving emails from their Western fans advising against NISA should have made them wary of their choice.

Emotionally speaking, I am upset and disappointed that Falcom really doesn't give two shits about their Western fans, cemented even more so by the lack of an official statement about the affair on their side.

Economically speaking, neither of those two companies will see a single cent from me for this product.

You're both retards

>>13733578

Get fucked NISA.

>chef cooks an amazing dish that you can practically smell through the kitchen doors

>hands it over to the fastest waiter that proceeds to trip over and piss themselves, dripping piss and bits of shit all over the amazing dish

>said waiter has a history of doing this

for what purpose

>>13737867

It's the cheapest waiter in town.

That being said you shouldn't compare YS to an amazing dish, more like to a hamburger.

>>13737716

doesn't the new dragon ball also have fuck ton of DLC as well though?

>>13738016

Yes.

>>13737716

I'd like to remind you that "Jew fears the samurai" isn't Japan exclusive, as everyone can be a samurai, provided they live virtuously and show the traits the Jew fears: bravery, honor and perseverance

Must have broken the game with their censorship.

>>13738670

>Second paragraph

Thats hell of a strawman. U less you are releasing the game in North Korea, or the game just so happens to blow the lid off of all the corruption in the U.S., I somehow doubt a niche Nip game is going to "strain relations wth the local government".
