Yeah, quote the OP:

Ok.

Speaking of which, it's probably time for a new OP, or maybe a new thread, to celebrate the imminent English release... What do you guys think?

On the moon... they don't make Neo Kobe Pizza.

I'd be down for that, give it a subtitle like "Now with games you can actually read!" or something.

Edit: Stream over, we almost managed to displace Sakura from the top slot at the very end with Kohran

Maybe we should wait until that one is released before we decide whether we can actually read it or not.

edit: are there any screenshots or videos anywhere that are known to be from the final English version of the game?

I have faith the translations for MD and V will be perfectly understandable to English audiences and players will approach recognizable favorites like the Psybaster and Wevangelion First Machine without issue.

Speaking of that, has anyone else seen Shin Godzilla? It's so Evangelion at times it's nuts.

edit: on IMAX. I am considering seeing it again. They talk really fast and I know I didn't catch everything. Also the change from its third to fourth form is a hell of a thing to see.

If any of you are going in on the digital version, can you stream it on Twitch/direct from PS4/some other source? Just sitting here waiting for Play-Asia to ship my thing and would like to at least see it in action.

The game blocks streaming so you'll need someone who has a capture card or similar.

I'm having a horrible day tomorrow and already bought my cards so I'll probably play a bunch tonight to try to distract myself and I'll try to post some screenshots good or bad.

the people working on this translation 100% have barely any knowledge of japanese, a fifth grader's knowledge of english, and no support from the official developers or any sort of budget for editing or proofreading. Cut them some slack. It falls on the publisher to make sure that the things it releases are high quality, not on the translators to slap something quality together with no resources, training, or assistance. If you wanna get mad at somebody, get mad at Bamco for pushing out a shoddy product to make money off an under served region.

At least they aren't going to push it onto the actual US PSN like they did with SAO.

Honestly, if the translation gets anywhere near Dragonar's HK subs then I will buy the game ASAP. I just want to hear someone telling Ryusei that they'll send him to the Netherlands.

I unironically love poor translations if they're not TV-N "Everyone-sama" level.

ImpAtom

For the most part it isn't that level. It's basically passable with moments of low quality.Not good but not incoherent, as far as I am.

It also does the honorific thing if that really bugs you. (Sorry if I'm over-posting, but I figure people are curious about the translation quality.)

Honestly, following the First and Second Gyokuza Ki Impact, these aren't as bad as I was expecting everything else to... so far.

My guess is the worst offenders will come from the in-battle lines since those are usually the ones more likely to have suppressed bits.
