Perfect Potato posted:Oh jeez, Ar Tonelico's the game that killed my enthusiasm for the JRPG genre. Yeah, that's really for the best. AT2 is even worse. Much, much, much worse. Nam flashbacks worse. (Not to mention that the translation of AT2 was so bad that the NISA head publisher had to publicly apologize for it.)

Schadenfraulein posted:I want to hear about this. Bad in what way? The actual translation was really bad. A lot of basic wording and script-writing were basically sub-fansub quality and nowhere near professional level. At its very worst, it approached Hong Kong Bootleg Subtitles level and became borderline incoherent. However, even beyond that, the game's localization was a loving mess. For example, they failed to translate some of the text. Not uncommon text either. One of the most common lines in the game is left in untranslated Japanese text. There are flat-out wrong translations as well that will occasionally tell you to go to wrong places to advance the plot. The voice acting is hosed up so that the Japanense and English tracks will switch back and forth at random during the course of battle. The very worst error is that one of the game's final bosses, who also doubles as the game's super-ultimate optional boss, was broken by the translation. If you didn't defeat them in a certain time period (3 rounds), one of their attacks would crash the game. ImpAtom fucked around with this message at 08:58 on May 23, 2009 |

I just read the entire thread in five days! I'm so proud of myself! Kudos to Spirit Armour for making a great LP out of a mediocre game. One of the first DVD's I ever owned was a collection of the first Sakura Wars OAV episodes. I thought the plot was pretty confusing and now I finally know why - there IS no plot! Funnily enough my two favorite characters from the OAV are still awesome, and I would've voted for them if I could. Kanna and Sumire are awesome. I can still remember how Kanna saved Iris by PUNCHING ACID in the first episode.

There are not enough words to describe just how  that was.Although, there is also Kanna's introduction, where she's beating up a bunch of sailors, and Kohran showing off her GIANT, STEAM-POWERED BAZOOKA.

... so, uh, update: I haven't actually finished screencapping for the next update. Heck, I haven't been WORKING on it, since I've been out of town for a while. Sorry, guys. Let's just say that it'll be a little while longer (sometime during this next week) and leave it at that.
