>Fan-translations
- Trails from Zero fan tl at 51%. Ao is 79% translated, but not edited at all yet. A beta of the Zero TL from 2015 was leaked. It is full of typos and sounds like robots are talking, but it is at least coherent from start to finish. Play only if you are desperate. Machine TL of Azure has also been released, and it is as terrible as you would expect. It is completely unintelligible.
- Brandish 2 Renewal has been completed
- Ys VIII fan retranslation project has been cancelled until the official fix is released. The team wants to see if NISA can fix the problems. If not, the retranslation will continue.

What am I doing something wrong?
Here's my orbment setups at the moment.
All my characters are just a bit over 30, level-wise. They all have the best gear from the Grancel Weapon Shop afaik (can't really speak for Khloe, but I know Zin/Joshua/Estelle do) In fact, Joshua and Zin have those weapons from the Sewers too.

Unless something changed, why do you have both defense and attack on Zin? As I remember they pretty much cancel each other out.
I also find that speed is king. Be it through action and/or cast.

>>14107725
nah they don't.
Attack will reduce your Defense, but Defense doesn't reduce Attack. Still, may be unnecessary though. The defense specifically is cancelling out the LOWERED Defense that the Attack Quartz brings. But the Attack boost is still there. Especially since he's worthless when it comes to arts. He's a good damage soaker though but the final boss and his goonies are Resistant to Taunt.

I'm not trying to be harsh, just explaining friend.
However, i've spent the last 3 or so hours going back through the ruins and looting every chest I've come across, killing the enemies that ambush you in those chests, etc.
Right now my setup is Estelle/Josh/Tita/Khloe.
Mainly swapping Tita over Zin just to see if her basic attack will be worth having since it has an Area (M) effect. Plus she can actually do some damage with arts. Wound up totally overhauling everyone's orbments for the most part.

Yeah that's actually what I wound up doing Action 2s/Action 3s/Cast 2s/etc. I didn't even bother using stuff like Earth Wall or Earth Guard. Swapping Tita out for Zin was a good move thanks to her range, made the first phase ez-pz. The other two phases weren't bad either, didn't have to even retry the fight. That is all of course after spending 3 or 4 hours grinding characters/sepith and looting the final dungeon for all the good gear.

That's the beauty of these games. That's why I never got the bitching about the school in CS1. I lived going back to Trista every chapter to see what the townspeople and students were up to.
CS3 is even better about this, because Teacher!Rean has more reason to be attached to his students and the fact that they're all kind of these underdog troublemakers of the Empire that Rean helps just fosters that much more love for the setting.

Including memes is more of a side effect of a bigger problem that has more to do with the laziness of (((localizers))) than it has to do with memes.
If it wasn't memes they do equally retarded shit like replacing original dialogue entirely with ellipses Treehouse or rewriting lines entirely without memes yes, I know they already do that.
Using memes is still a massive
>fellowkids.png
but a lot of (((localizers))) and in some cases retards like the writer(s) of BL2 and equally shit games don't seem to realize or don't care how translating shit as the current "dank" memes rapidly artificially ages a game.
Try playing through Borderlands 2 now.
Notice how it's still a shit game?
Except now it's a shit game WITH memes so old they could be in a museum.
And it was only released in 2012.
And they want to localize games in a way that disrespects the source material and gives them an active shelf life of less than six months?
Fuck (((localization))).
Let the market burn so it can crash and restart.
eb7dba No.14116188
>>14115637
I maintain that localization (as it's supposed to be) isn't a bad thing, it's just the word was stolen by people who do way more than what it is supposed to entail. Localization is supposed to mean taking raw, rough translation (which is often a bit of a mess due to the incompatibilities between English and Japanese) and making sound like a phrase that makes sense in English, with the main goal to give the English listener/reader as close to the same experience as a Japanese listener/reader as possible, starting with emotional tone first and working down from there. Example: some jokes/idioms might be senseless in English. So you need to find the closest equivalent. An example of where emotional tone and accuracy differ is the names of Ace Attorney characters. The names are supposed to be goofy puns, but if you don't speak Japanese you won't get that. So the decision was made to change the names to English versions of the puns because it was felt tone was more important than direct translation. Now while I do that agree with every AA decision, I consider that particular choice to be an example of a good localization decision. The problem is a lot of people take it too far.

It depends on how close they are to running out of funds.
They have a cycle, they'll shit out one decent game every few years to get the schmucks buying their shit for a year or so after that.
This allows them to cuck releases at a rate of 20:1 or even 30:1 on a budget. If they were expecting more money from Ys8 they might actually have to retranslate to get closer to the target.

Guys… I just beat Origin with Hugo. My steam account shows that was my first play through.
Why did I remember most of the game on my first play through? Particularly some bosses. Did they just recycle one of the older ones I played and switch some minor things up?
Since I was ~11 I've played through these in the following order:
Ys - The Vanished Omens [SMS]
Ys - Books I&II [TG16-CD]
Ys III - Wanderers From Ys [TG16-CD]
Ys IV - The Dawn of Ys [TG16-CD] (j2e patch)
Ys VI - The Ark of Napishtim [PSP]
Ys Seven [PSP]
Ys - The Oath in Felghana [PC]
and finally
Ys Origin [PC]
I have Epilepsy and I'm worried I played through Origin once before, had a seizure in my sleep and lost the part memory of having played it already…

>>14137341
You think it's going to get any better by learning Jap and ignoring localized versions? You think this bullshit will not go beyond western borders and start to infect the games directly during development? Nintendo and square enix have already proven that they are willing to make changes to their games during development based on what they are told by localization companies and/or what they believe what the "west" (screaming banshees and betamales that don't give 2 shits about gaming and want attention) wants. Other companies will soon follow if left unchecked and our enemies unopposed.
In order to stop this, you have to hit them where it hurts: profits. Don't buy any of their games (even via import), remind them with evidence what these scumbag companies are doing to their games and how the actual fans oppose it, inform others interested in these games how bad things are and get them to demand a better product. This sends a stronger message to the devs while hurting localization companies more than just importing than just importing the unpozzed version, as a lot of Japanese devs are really liking the sales they're making from the west and our enemies are taking advantage of that. Stop adding fuel to the demise and you'll be amazed what companies will do to get their real fans back (that or they double down and go bankrupt, which any company deserves if they treat their customers and fans like shit and/or not listen to them)

Yeah that's cool but Falcom is extremely conservative and their main market will always be Japan. They aren't going to change the contents of a game just to cater to a amrket that represents only 15% of their total profits.
f176e9 No.14137737
>>14137650
May be true now, but I'm seeing this as a slippery slope that other Japanese companies have fallen down on. They could change their practices if they start to see and/or are told by those companies they trust if they believe they will make a better profit than sticking to their guns. It seems less likely that they will change due to how Japanese culture is when it comes to traditions, but if Capcom, Nintendo, Namco/bandai, and Square Enix are any indication, they will make sacrifices to traditions (to varying degrees) if they think they will get more money out of it, all the while not caring about how good or bad the product is until they start making significantly less money.

>Yeah that's cool but Falcom is extremely conservative and their main market will always be Japan. They aren't going to change the contents of a game just to cater to a market that represents only 15% of their total profits.
Nintendo's and technically Squenix main market is also Japan but they have caved to this sort of shit too.
Nintendo is worth 16 billion dollars 1.469 trillion yen and has a decently sized portion of hardware sales worldwide. Do you really think that this won't hit smaller devs just trying to release on those consoles or using a publisher?
Even if it's just "voluntary" "content guidelines" similar to ESRB ratings which will then definitely not be used to censor shit, because all those AO games that are allowed to exist?
They won't be releasing two versions of a game. It'll just fuck everybody in the long run.
Hardware makers and publishers have some sort of retarded obsession with being as uncontroversial as possible to the detriment of the medium. So unless all the smaller devs start releasing on PC or go full Image Comics and form their own publishing firm with group bargaining eventually even having to make their own hardware if it gets much worse it will affect them far sooner than you'd think.
>>14137737
>Capcom
>Namco/bandai
Those companies are an entirely different issue to me.
They were almost in the first wave of big JP publishers to start coming to PC which sort of encouraged smaller publishers/devs but they did so in a way that preserved the same issues with console gaming and brought their horrid practices with them.
<releasing only to locked down platforms Steam
<more DRM because muh PC piracy Denuvo
<One and done releases because we PAY per patch goy Not on PC but they must treat the console version better because "main market"
<$300 of DLC on PC "launch day" because this game is a year old but we still want all the DLC money with a full price release We still aren't doing a simultaneous release with the sequel though, we get rewarded for double dipping, goy
And they don't even have to patch the games because half the time the PC community will patch shit for them for instance, NISA released the censored release on PC and retards still encouraged people to buy it because "Don't worry, Modders will fix it"
Then you get the retarded faggots that scream and cry when people on PC don't buy Denuvoed on top of Steam broken garbage on PC for $60+$300 because
<THEN THEY'LL NEVER RELEASE OTHER GAMES ON PC
Even though they'll continue to do so anyway and delay releases for several months beyond console for "optimization" read as "we know PC players will buy a console copy if we wait long enough"

He's going to smile and nod and hope people buy Ys VIII and try to make the best out of a bad situation.

Fishing doesn't start becoming an important side activity until Zero, but every game from then on highly encourages it. In SC it's only important for one or two quests.

I've just started Chapter 2 in TitS SC, and I've realized that in Ruan, there was a cat-related piece of gear that seemed pretty lame so I didn't buy it. But now I'm in Zeiss and there's another part of it?
Is there just an entire kitty set to be bought and have by the end of the game? Am I / Will I be missing out on something here? Whether it be some sort of bonus side event or something bigger?

It runs better than it originally did but there are still a bunch of performance issues, bugs, random Japanese texts, lines getting cut off etc. And they plan to fix this all in two weeks. Literally repeating the same mistakes. Also Big Hole got changed to Chasm.
>Dunegons run pretty well. I get consistent 60 fps usually. Using some skills gives weird fps drops. It's the overworld which is really inconsistent for fps. It'll just keep chugging between 40-60. Castaway villave FPS continues to drop as it becomes bigger. The lowest it's been at for me is 48 FPS currently in Chapter 6. I think it's playable, but there are just so many inconsistencies. The turtle boss in the first dungeon for example will drop to 10 fps when doing the poison breath, and the cave with the oricalcum ore (or w.e you call it) runs at 20-30 fps. The worst offender are those defense battles. FPS just goes to shit there with the number of enemies and skill spamming.
>>14174004
There's nothing special with the set, but by equipping all the items your character can turn into the usual "too strong at X but terrible at Y". I think it exchanges defense in favor of speed, which is interesting because speed is important in the game.
