Oh boy, I dont want to think how much the DLC pack would fetch considering the drat thing is so rare that XSEED might as well not bothered to print it.

Hmmm, wonder why they did that?
It's a language thing. She's Japanese, but then speaks in English as a foreign language. The localization tried to convey as best they could. Since our native language is English, they swapped the foreign language to French. If there had been an English dub for the game, it would have been fine. However, because it's subbed only and Shiki's voice comes out as English while the subs are in French, it's kind of weird.

That doesn't particularly matter The fact is that she's supposed to be speaking a different language and the translation needs to convey that when the rest of the dialogue is in English. The only other thing you can do is fool around with fonts (which is a pain in the rear end if the game isn't designed for it) and can be needlessly confusing.

They should have just had her speak in Japanese, then. It fits better. She already talks like a valley girl; I wouldn't put it past her to say "sayonara" just because.

I don't disagree actually and that's a thing that Xseed did with Oneechanbara which I thought was cute, but I think you care too much about what language they choose to convey language difference.

I agree. I'm not saying what they did was bad, it's just weird when you're reading French and hearing English.

I can't read French, but I know some Japanese, so XSEED should cater to me personally, else I start screaming about their localization decisions pushing French agendas.

I can't recall which one it was, but there was a Cave shmup that had a character localized to speak with an extreme French accent ("Zee spoke like zees, sacre bleu") and it was great. Then it was rereleased and they toned it down.

EV is also ridiculously smoother to play than SV was when I tried it, the only complaint I can see from D_T`s side being noticeable is the camera shenanigans when high walls are involved. I only played the beach level 2-3 times though so vOv

That's pretty much the only camera issue I ever had as well. D_T and Takoluka were saying something about the camera controls, but I've yet to notice anything outside of it not wanting to rotate against a high wall at the edge of the map or against a building in the Downtown stage.

But yes, the game does improve a lot on the SV formula.

EV has a *decent* camera. It's not worse than many other games, but there's no excuse for it not seeing any improvements in the two years between it and SV.

In fact, that's the problem with the second statement. It makes some improvements, but it doesn't make two years worth of improvements. In two years, the genre it is trying to emulate evolved, and it spent more time making sure the physics engine made the boobs bounce just right in Diorama Mode that they forgot to actually make the game better and make it not buggy and terrible before they shipped it. Heck, in either this or the SK thread, someone posted a video of them soft-locking a level with Haruka, forcing a retreat. I never saw those kinds of problems in SV, which raises the question "What the hell were they doing for two years?" We could say "Making Deep Crimson", but there were months between DC's release and EV's release.

Having seen the Vita version in action, it feels more like SV 1.5, which is okay if you like really hate change.

There are parts of this that I can agree with. Hell, the game went to patch 1.19 after a plethora of game breaking bugs. I feel like EV got a lot of the same treatment that Deep Crimson did in that Marvelous was so focused on trying or adding new things. While Deep Crimson did add a lot of cool features like challenge modes, tag ninpos, and youma battles, the overall mechanics felt unrefined and the extra content came off as unfinished. EV felt a lot in the same regard in various aspects. Character balances are pretty bad with the heavy-hitting characters (Hanabi, Yozakura, ect) being not fun to play as at best, and almost completely unplayable at worst being one of the biggest culprits for example. The camera I feel is exactly the same as the one in SV which is why I didn't have any issues with it. They definitely could have refined it as they did in the later released Valkyrie Drive, but I think they were too focused on creating new stage finishers and what-not. Still, even with all of its faults, I consider EV a good step forward for the series and hope that the next release will encompass the positive things from both EV and Deep Crimson.

I want high-definition youma battles and stuff to be in the next SK game.

Goods are fine when you are in the own zone. I haven't played it in so long I don't remember what they actually call this mode though.

Edit: Fever mode sounds right.

Also the soundtrack is pretty great on the whole but there are definitely a couple of real clunkers.
