the tl/dub here seems way better than fates. ofc they probably picked the best sounding lines and a few lines do seem a bit overly wordy but stuff like annette's second line is way more natural/goofy than basically anything that existed in fates tbh might also be the original writing quality being better, but

annette's goofy cake song unironically sounds better than you are the ocean's gray waves though incidentally one thing i do wanna comment on is everyone saying 'teach' 'teacher' etc makes it pretty clear you will be able to rename byleth, which tbh im mixed on. if you're going with a non-customizable protag id say just give them a non-flexible name so that you can work it into a few lines for dramatic effect, even if most people still call them sensei/teacher or whatever. its not a huge deal though.

Speaking of Annette, one of the screenshots features Gilbert putting a question in the advice box asking about how to reconnect with his daughter now that he's recently met her again.   They're both from Faerghus, so it's pretty likely Gilbert is her dad.

Oh actually I was curious and checked Fates credits vs a few other recent-ish games, cuz I wondered if maybe there was also a problem of so many people in the pie as the base script had If I'm reading the credits right there were like 20 translators/localizers on Fates, not counting scripters and other such people Awakening had 5 Radiant Dawn had 10 Echoes also had 4 or 5 Shadow Dragon had....t-three?? There's other positions involved in each game (for example, the 8-4 games had another 4 or 5 NoA translators for assistance), but Fates Translator credit alone had 20 people before counting the other credits, like scripters and supervisor and so on.

Echoes, like Awakening, was 8-4. Not saying that Three Houses is anywhere near doomed, the heroes stuff is a positive sign, just noting that Echoes isn't done by the same team as Fates.

Fates was the last time they had a traditional "localize the game after it came out in Japan," which probably put them on an absurd time crunch to translate 3 full games in like a year.

Yeah, the translators have probably been working alongside the dev team this time, especially since it's treehouse, unlike Fates where it seems like they just got it dumped on them after the game was out.

i totally thought claude was voiced by ben diskin, but ben diskin actually voices lorenz. so that one line at the beginning asking about a class reunion was lorenz instead of claude. That's an interesting choice for someone to put in that position.

rannum posted:The english website is up, the most notable thing (since we've seen all this and way more through famitsu) for us is probably all the characters have a few voice lines to hear their VO https://fireemblem.nintendo.com/three-houses/characters/ Going through the voicelines and man, Claude seems very cool. I'm sticking with the Lions but he makes a strong counter-argument Edit: Hilda also seems very good. Just about everyone comes off as pretty charming. This game will be good I think.

So I cut them a little slack and think they could be better with a story and characters that actually tried to be good rather than desperately toss every element they could think of in at random.

the issue with that is that the fates localization ruined the parts of fates' original script that actually were decent. (jakob, the gay supports, niles in general) seriously my experience with the treehouse is such that i have to hope that if this game has gay supports they dont actively go out of their way to take them from 'undercooked but their heart is in the right place' to 'actively offensive' Endorph fucked around with this message at 11:00 on Jul 12, 2019 |

That rewind feature is an interesting one. I wonder if you can only use it in your turn ala "oh poo poo, i moved my guy to the wrong position" or it can be used in enemy turn to get around "WHAT THE gently caress THAT CRIT WAS BULLSHIT". In fact I wonder if it messes with the rng seed at all.

Everything we have seen indicates that it works like it does in Echoes. So you can only use it during your turn but you can rewind back as many actions as you want until the start of the battle. In regards to the rng it does nothing to change it.

If it works like Echoes then I think it does affect RNG. I remember using it to cheat crit procs.

also there's a guy teasing same-sex romance options but uhh the article conflates flirting and actual explicit s-support romances a lot and doesn't go into any specifics. I don't doubt there are options but I would take anything this guy hints at (like claude) with a huge grain of salt in terms of the specifics.

(jakob, the gay supports, niles in general) Niles works because he uses being distressingly forward as a tactic to keep people off balance while he figures them out. Creeping people out gives him an advantage, but he can be serious when need be. I wouldn’t ever defend the rest, though.

One of the screenshot also has what I assume to be Byleth's response, but with a different name over it. This confirms for me that we can rename Byleth.
