Weirdly enough it seems most of the scanlations-level stuff is in the early game, so it makes a bad first impression and then gets better translated as it goes on. It'd be nice if they patched it, but I don't know if Atlus is the kinda company that does that kinda thing.

They do patch their games, but they rarely do so, or they patch the game long after people have stopped caring about it.

Miku is a branded voice for a singing voice synthesizer called Vocaloid. Anyone with the software can make something that sounds like Miku, and there's Miku 3D models out there if you want to make like music videos and stuff.

It's a combination instrument and internet meme.

Late to the Miku talk but Miku owns because you can use the software to make stuff like this:

Not gonna be everyone's cup of tea and I'm sure I will be added to Ignore lists for this but gently caress it :justpost: Also on the subject of artists getting paid for using a Vocoloid: I believe as long as it's your own original work, you can make an original album and sell it as long and you bought the Vocoloid software. If you make a cover of a song using it and you want to sell it, then it turns into a legal mire but I guess that's true no matter what. Then again I'm no lawyer.

translation talk drives everyone insane for some reason

e: cherrypicking overreactions to obviate criticism is weak poo poo tho

To be fair, cherry-picking some bad text and using it as an example why game is bad is dumb. Like if I linked Mipha's voice acting in BOTW and said "this is bad trash" I'd be right but if I plastered it all over social media, it'd be clear I sort of irrationally hating on a new popular game since that is such a minor thing in a much bigger game.

By all accounts, these bad bits are a tiny part of a huge text corpus that is 99.9% well-done, at least according to people who play the game.

Is it time for a "10/10 means a game must be literally perfect" vs. "no it doesn't" argument again already?

Even the person tweeting these examples says that they're the worst of it and it gets better after the prologue in the replies to that tweet. They even call out one of the characters as being written very well. I really think this is an example of a few bad lines being unfortunately clustered together and sending the impression it's worse than it is.

Dragon quest XI is going be the next instant classic in the long running line of dragon quest rpgs.
It will have the most deviously desgined unskippable jingles and bad menus to ensure that your play time is an impressive number no matter how much end game you play.
It will have cute characters and a simple plot about friendship and heinous evil and the funny parts will be funny.
You will need to grind levels every so often in your play through

its gonna be loving great times.

I like that there is DLC for Drawn to Death that turns all the characters into Kratos. It's not even a "Everyone gets a specialized costume of someone from God of War" type of deal, everyone literally gets a Kratos and Kratos only costume.
