I think that my favourite one from this was some guy complaining his waifu wasn't shy and retiring enough in the English version, because a girl having more personality than that is clearly destroying the integrity of the game.

I think the technical issues are mostly taken care of! It'll take a while to get used to 384x256 resolution, but I'm sure it'll be fine. But man, there's one thing I'll never get used to...

It's kinda funny how people complain over the issue happening in reverse, where a beloved localization is redone for accuracy and consistency (the SNES Final Fantasies, Chrono Trigger, etc.) and then people miss the little things that made the original localizations great. There is literally no way to make people happy with translating.

IT IS STILL SUPER CREEPY At least he ain't related to Goonko 2. Don't know if that makes it better or worst. As for Goonko2's surname, maybe 人魚ん (ningyo-n) mermaid+n? Chromius fucked around with this message at 11:16 on Feb 4, 2015 |

Was a bit distracted by Dota, but the stream's goin' live with some more exploratory TMGS2. I think I've settled on Goonko 2's name, and I'm gonna give up on the Goon for this time around. Instead, she will be 不動女恋 - Fudo Siren. http://twitch.tv/vibratingsheep Stream done. Working on the posts now! vibratingsheep fucked around with this message at 10:11 on Feb 6, 2015 |

Let's Play Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side 2 - Rubbing boys the wrong way 2nd season? That's an interesting name for a sequel. Technically, it's the name for the Nintendo DS remake! Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side 2nd Kiss originally came out on PS2 in 2006, 4 years after Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side. It was the last time a Tokimeki Memorial game was ever released a home console -- after 2nd Kiss, you have 2nd Season (2008, DS), Tokimemo 4 (2009, PSP), and and Girl's Side 3rd Story (2010, DS and 2012, PSP). Why did they stop making Tokimemo for consoles? A couple of factors come into play here. First, making games for the Nintendo DS was just plain good business. While the PS2 was hugely successful, 2006 was when Sony planned to phase out the console -- the PS3 launched in November of that year. Meanwhile, the DS was ludicrously, filthily profitable. Almost everyone in Japan owned a DS for Pokemon and Brain Age and any number of other popular games, and it was pretty common to own two so you could trade Pokemon/fruit/whatever with yourself. The vaunted Castlevania series was notably absent from consoles during this period as well, with a 5-year gap in console releases between Curse of Darkness (2005, PS2) and Lords of Shadow (2010, PS3/Xbox 360). We're just going to ignore Castlevania: Judgment and pretend it never happened, thank you very much. Second, Konami wasn't exactly in a hurry to pour money into a console version of Tokimemo on unfamiliar hardware a second time. Girl's Side sold well enough on PS2, but Tokimemo was clearly not a hit franchise anymore. Handheld development meant smaller dev teams, smaller budgets, and less risks. What changed between GS and GS2? Not a lot. Much like Tokimemo 2, they took their existing formula and refined it, concentrating more on making a likeable cast of characters than on improving the game system. Most obviously, GS2 changes the fairy tale from a princess story to a mermaid story, and changes the setting very slightly. While the game still takes place in Habataki City, the characters attend Hanegasaki Academy instead of Habataki Academy. This lets them reuse several backgrounds and environments from the previous game while still being able to create an entirely different (and far less creepy!) cast. Okay, then what did they change in the DS remake? Due to space limitations, the EVS system is significantly slimmed down. Instead of going syllable by syllable like in previous games, 2nd Season has a limited set of pre-recorded names. If you choose a name outside of that list, things break down quickly. The game will pull out syllables from the name and say "choose one of these to be what all of the characters say" - for example, Fudou gets cut into either Fuu or Dou, so on stream you'll hear a lot of "Fu" when the characters talk. Oh, and then there's the "Skinship" system. You'll, uh, you'll have to see it to understand it. That sounds ominous. I can show you fear in a hand full of DS. Uh. That was creepy. Can we forget that we ever asked that question? Okay! Would you like to meet the cast instead? Is it actually better than the cast of Girl's Side? Yep. Let's go.

Meet the cast, part 1: The girls! Just like in the first Girl's Side, there are four girls who fit into the role of Default Best Friend. The system is almost entirely unchanged from the previous game, so I'll just get straight to the descriptions of the girls. Room 1: Onoda Chiyomi  Profile:  Voiced by: Kozakura Etsuko (Jibanyan in Youkai Watch, Pocchama in Pokemon, Tamama in Sgt. Frog) Associated stat: Academics Notes - "She's as short as I am. When she talks fast, she's really funny. She's a very serious girl. She got really mad at me when she caught me buying candy and eating it on my way home." What her stationery looks like:  What it looks like when you fail at hanging out with her:  Room 2: Mizushima Hisoka  Profile:  Voiced by: Minaguchi Yuko (Sailor Saturn in Sailor Moon, Anegasaki Nene in Love Plus) Associated stat: Looks Notes - "A very mature lady. The target of many men's--and women's--affections. What a pretty girl. She's apparently good at cooking and sewing too. They call her #1 in the Girl I Want To Marry rankings!" What her stationery looks like:  What it looks like when you fail at hanging out with her:  Room 3: Nishimoto Haruhi  Profile:  Voiced by: Maeda Ai (Emiryun in Sentimental Graffiti, Shion in Xenosaga) Associated stat: Fashion Notes - "A cheerful girl from Osaka who moved to Habataki in middle school. She talks a mile a minute in Kansai-ben. It's really fun, like we're in a comedy show!" What her stationery looks like:  What it looks like when you fail at hanging out with her:  Room 4: Todo Tatsuko  Profile:  Voiced by: Shindo Naomi (Cagalli in Gundam SEED, Irene in Valkyria Chronicles) Associated stat: Sports Notes - "A super strong-looking girl. She has a really sharp tongue. She's really tall and very cool. A lot of people go to her for advice." What her stationery looks like:  What it looks like when you fail at hanging out with her:  So, why did I go into so much detail when I said I was going to skim over the character profiles? Because we have to choose one of these four girls during character creation, and the run can't start until we vote on one of them! So without further ado, the first poll of the run: Who should our best friend be? Voting closes on midnight PST on Sunday the 8th. Next time: Meeting the boys. vibratingsheep fucked around with this message at 18:51 on Feb 6, 2015 |

I like the direction ATLUS took to localizing Kansai-Ben in P4 Arena, by giving Labrys a Brooklyn accent. To my knowledge it's closer in terms of cultural connotations than the usual choice of a Southern accent. I happened to cast the first vote and it was for Haruhi.

If there a option of having a friend from Osaka you should always take it so am voting for Haruhi.Tarezax posted:I like the direction ATLUS took to localizing Kansai-Ben in P4 Arena, by giving Labrys a Brooklyn accent. To my knowledge it's closer in terms of cultural connotations than the usual choice of a Southern accent. I always took that if someone was from Osaka or a city in the region you would go for the brooklyn accent and for those outside of it or the countyside area you go with the southern accent.
