Ao has a fantranslation in the works which is about halfway done too, largely helped by someone dumping a spreadsheet containing a rudimentary translation for the main scenario of Ao that he worked on for the sake of his girlfriend. Course, it'll still need heavily edited once the translation is done and sidequests, item descriptions and NPC dialogue still needs translated.

Basically by this time next year you should be able to play Zero in English and Ao should be well on its way to being in English in some form or another, whether that's via fantranslation or an official localization.

I think I am noticing some graphical issues with the new patch? Like it's not rendering certain objects?

Like in sun door 2 the final chapter and the intro to the final dungeon.

The console version will sell better, especially in Japan. This is mostly for Japan, kinda like how Kingdom Hearts eventually made every game available on the ps4.

Am I seriously locked to both Fie and Emma for the spirit shrine trials? Nothing against the two of them, but I want to level the rest of the party up, and they're taking up valuable slots.

Yes, while you're first clearing a spirit shrine trial Emma is required. After you clear it you can come back to it without her just fine though, and you'll need to come back to them afterwards for some of the trial chests.

A Thing will happen eventually, and you'll be locked to Laura instead of Fie.

Anybody who's underleveled will catch up super quick anyway, no matter when you end up using them.

Emma I understand, but Fie's actually locked, and that seems like a bit much.



e: I may actually be stupid, and not have realized that you clear one shrine, talk to George, and come back for the rest later.

It's probably the lesser of the more modern ones but it's still a pretty cool action rpg. If you want one to start with though I'd say go for Ys Origins first. (either Steam or PS4 version, Vita version is broken garbage.)

Of the two party-based Ys games available in English, it's the best one. Music is good, the world is pretty fun to explore, and from a base Action RPG gameplay standpoint it's still solid. The main problem with the game is that it's just too easy, which is a symptom of all of the party-based Ys games. Some people also weirdly got really bent out of shape about the plot which I could not understand because it like all other Ys games is very :effort: about its plot.

Assuming we include it with the games available on Steam, I would say Ys Celceta is better than Ys I/II and Seven (which will eventually be on Steam) but worse than the rest. It's still very good because all Ys games not called Ys V are good.

Is that why Ys V was never released in the West?

I doubt at first, it was just a late SNES game in a not very popular series anyway in the west, it's probable that that's why it's never been ported or released on anything else though.

E: apparently it got ported to PS2 10 years later so shows what I know

All the Celceta bosses were way too boring for me. I got to the hidden town area which I assume is about halfway before dropping it. I tried Seven out afterward and while the bosses in that weren't spectacular but they were still decent, so I don't know what happened.

What does it mean

Lord Koth

That's, uh, an interesting combination of people on one of the pictures on Rutger's page. Looks like, him, Shirley Orlando, and ???. I'm thinking the unknown might be Baldur Orlando, unless it's someone from Zero/Ao I don't know. Given the rivalry between Zephyr and Red Constellation, that's an extremely weird grouping, even if I'm wrong about the unknown person, given how peaceful it is.

Also, Vita talking with what looks like Thomas, which is another incredibly strange pairing.

To me, a re-design on an adult character very strongly means future party member at some point. When almost every other adult stuck to the same, exact design except Sarah, and Claire got a re-design back in CSteel2.

Ah, whoops. Neither of them have had portraits previously then, and I was trying to recognize Baldur from the in-profile background image of him/Rutger and their two corps that was in CS. Still makes the scene really strange, though not quite as much as "these two guys who killed each other are now sitting around chatting."

I am kinda amused by amount of accessory swapping going on. Besides Tita having Joshua's pouch, Emma Misty's hat, it seems like the Red Rose Moon Girl absconded with Vita's staff, who in turn probably raided Luciola's closet for a weapon..... and Machias is apparently getting eyewear styling tips from Detective Dudley.

There was always going to be a decent chance considering she got a Mirror at the end of CS2. And Altina is definitely a party member. So wonder what the chances of the other three are?
