"..." is common in video games because they, uniquely among mediums I can think of, are dialogue-only while, for much of their history, not having voicing. In a book, if you want to say a character paused without saying something, you can just say that, in non-dialogue prose. In a movie, you can just depict it. But in an SNES-era game, your options for conveying that sort of thing are limited. Hence "..."

Relatively heavy use of ellipses is also just common in Japanese writing, and I've seen a number of professional translators talk about how seeing them uncritically preserved in localization is a common red flag. https://legendsoflocalization.com/qa-japanese-ellipsis-usage-and-english-translation/

The industry's dark secret is that no Japanese game has actually been localized since 2002 and all the translators have just been totally winging it for the past 20 years.

fridge corn posted:Starting playing persona 4 and it's pretty good but nowhere near as slick and stylish as persona 5 P4 Golden is still pretty awesome, if quite clunky in places. The soundtrack is top tier and it has its heart in the right place (save from a few scenes that are uh... not that great and haven't exactly aged well). The story is way better than P5 but the style is nowhere near as polished obviously. Really want to see how they do 6, when they get round to it.

I started Persona 3 Portable today as DICKN BALLS-chan (as opposed to the usual DICKN BALLS-kun). Can't say much about it in 30 minutes, but I dig that school has a vocal track.

Motto posted:Relatively heavy use of ellipses is also just common in Japanese writing, and I've seen a number of professional translators talk about how seeing them uncritically preserved in localization is a common red flag. You're sometimes limited if your game needs the exact same number of lines or if cutscene considerations mean you can't really change this without introducing excessively long pauses (iirc XC2 had issues with that). There's also an argument for preserving voice patterns like this but that's more a philosophical argument about translation.

Not all localized JRPGs have such profuse old lady sounds and earlier voiced Square-Enix games did not so it's a clearly intentional choice on behalf of the developers.

i really liked persona 4 when i first played it as a 20yo but whenever i try to revisit it i like it less and less, and I've come to the conclusion that frankly it's a bad game

I definitely get the p5 criticisms but I think a lot of that stuff including the homophobic nonsense is just as bad or worse in p4

I don't think I physically have the mental capacity or patience for hours upon hours of setup and exposition before the game/story properly start these days. The thought of going back and playing P3/4/5 again fills me with dread as much as I loved them at the time.

what keeps me from trying out p5 royale is the memory that your talking cat friend who lives in your backpack comments on everything that happens. you’re in class and your teacher reminds you that next week is exam week, your cat friend pops out and says “exam week is next week, huh?”
