http://xseedgames.tumblr.com/post/120804314195/the-legend-of-heroes-trails-series-localization XSeed posted their localization blog for Cold Steel. The biggest takeway is that they didn't actually say they're not doing Zero/Ao, they said that they want to do Cold Steel first since PS3 and Vita are getting old, while Zero has a PC version and Ao has the chinese PC version. That's not to say they are doing it, either. Also Cassius rules

I may have eventually puttered out on doing every line of text in that game but a whole lotta that game is still my work and I'm super proud of it. And that's not even the best line in that scene.

I'm really confused at this point with what games I should play in the Trails series in which order actually. I would rather play them on Vita. Is Trails becoming sort of code for one of those overarching barely related series like Tales or FF?

It's like Suikoden where all the games take place in the same world with reoccuring characters, but instead of changing main cast and setting every game, they stick with the same cast and setting for two or three game long story arcs. There are three such arcs. In order: Trails in the Sky (FC & SC), the Crossbell arc (Trails to Zero, Trails to Azure), and Trails of Cold Steel (I & II). Trails FC is the only game out right now, SC is out this summer, the Crossbell arc is being skipped, and Trails of Cold Steel I is out in Fall. (Also there's Trails in the Sky 3rd which is basically a sidestory thing that explores the setting)

I'd like the option, but at least they tried, andMokinokaro posted:It's a miracle we're getting these games at all. JRPG dubs aren't that bad most of the time anyway.

Probably about the level of most of the later Tales games, but with better directing than the last few. EDIT: /\ Japanese voice acting is usually pretty cheesy itself. It's just the style they use for voice work. Mokinokaro fucked around with this message at 20:38 on Jun 6, 2015 |

Not at all bothered by the lack of dual audio here, but I'm wondering why they always have trouble with Falcom games. Is it because whatever dubbing studio or actors or whatever Falcom use are particularly stubborn and uncooperative? Maybe Falcom always uses really expensive voice actors?

Both things happen. There are cases where it's actually cheaper to just dub the game because the original voices are so expensive and the game is too niche to do both wile making a profit, but there are also cases where the license explicitly forbids the use of the voices outside of Japan and no amount of arguing is going to change that.

Lord Ephraim posted:Start with Wild Arms 4 and 5 To be fair, the writing/script of those was pretty drat awful in the first place. There's only so much VAs can do with that material. Rune Factory 4's dub is also decent enough, but those games have light-hearted/goofy voicework in Japanese. EDIT: Another fun thing that Tom didn't mention (but I think SpaceDrake did in the same NeoGAF thread) is that the Japanese VAs are also allowed to dictate non-negotiable rates for outside of Japan. Within Japan, their wages are completely set by the union and they have zero negotiation room. This tends to lead to many VAs trying to squeeze some extra money out of foreign licensees by setting ridiculously high prices. Mokinokaro fucked around with this message at 14:21 on Jun 7, 2015 |

Pretty interesting, and about what I expected. Thanks! I doubt having any of that explained will stop some people from being really stupid about it, though (e.g. refusing to buy the game because it doesn't have Japanese voice acting even though they don't understand the language anyway). smenj fucked around with this message at 16:57 on Jun 7, 2015 |

This. I already have the japanese version, and I would've also bought an english version with the original voices. But since there won't be one, I don't have a reason to buy something that would be worse than the version I already have (for me). Things are different when your options are "play the version with the english dub" or "don't play it at all".

Really Pants posted:then you would say "baka"* Why don't you just call them "Dipshit weeaboo motherfuckers" because that is what they are after all? Also I did up my SMS Ys review and it is long and filled with pictures and words that comprise vague sentences. http://masterratings.blogspot.com/2015/06/game-seventeen-ys-vanished-omens-198788.html So like hopefully enjoy the review and don't be a goober about Videogames because that's dumb and games are supposed to be like fun and not one's religion or something. (I don't have anything profound to say. Just woke up and got out of bed after reading some Squirrel Girl comics where she fought robot dinosaurs and a hippo person. Deep thoughts are not on my agenda right now. Maybe after a shower, laundry, and a big rear end coffee I might be capable of some deep wisdom? Also if Falcom would like to rerelease Popful Mail that would just be ducky.)
