yes, current /v/ would because it's retarded, gay, and brown. Old /v/, however, would lament how unfortunate it is along with Legend of Dragon, FF8, and Breath of Fire 2.

Seethe more. Trails in the Sky is memorable in large part because of EN Estelle. The game (and franchise) gets a lot more boring the closer it is to the JP script.
>>715609142
Neither am I. Series becomes unsalvagable after CS2 in every language.
EN Estelle is still better than JP though. So is EN Rean for that matter.

We were just happy obscure games were being brought over and had a half competetent translation even if they made up shit for the NPCs and spiced it up. These days Working Designs bullshit wouldn't roll.

No, because AI does the job better of providing me the general gist of what the writer was trying to say and not wholesale made up bullshit that removes character quirks, catchphrases, and their entire personality.
>>715609795 >because AI does the job better of providing me the general gist of what the writer was trying to say
No it does not and that’s completely ignoring its inability to translate any form of wordplay or complex dialogue.
Anyone advocating for ML “direct” translations doesn’t actually know what they’re asking for. It’s just as bad as trannylators raping the script.
>>715610007 >doesn’t actually know what they’re asking for
I know exactly what I'm asking for. Many companies in Japan use it already and you don't even know.
>>715610035
Yes modern localizers are almost universally bad too. What you’re advocating for is the only thing that might actually be worse. (I say might because while the translation quality would be near universally abysmal it would cause trannylators to get fired which would be extremely funny)

Everyone keeps trying to recreate the FE Fates comparison image. The problem is that many times people see the comparison and like the translation more than the original script.
I swear the Unicorn Overlord spergout last year set translation discourse back at least 5 years. Everyone reposting that comparison image and calling for boycotts came off like a hysterical retard.
>>715610575
Pretty sure this Estelle one was originally a "hehe you like the ENG therefore all shitty localization is good" psyop, it just got co-opted by a schizo.
>>715611184
A small handful of retards who got burnt out raid every single thread and make it their lifes mission to shit up every thread about the games.
>>715610575 >>715610845
Every line is some obnoxious dubtitles "you make me hangry, imma thwomp you with the hurty stick!!!!" garbage. It's not entirely inaccurate, it's just overly "punched up", which still sucks.
>>715610575 >The problem is that many times people see the comparison and like the translation more than the original script.
Even if that is the case, it's literally irrelevant. The job of a localizer is not to make a script that you personally like more. It's to localize a script while retaining the intended meaning and experience as much as possible. You personally liking a given joke more doesn't matter.

I don't think they're going to change anything and will make an earnest attempt to change the scenes to 3D with that being one of their few talents. As a remake, I think it'll be one of the best just because they're not focused on changing everything.
>>715613432
they should just end the series already
cold steel was trash and calvards even worse we're now at a point where theres more bad games in the series than good and falcom clearly have no passion for it anymore so just kill it
>>715613678
It's clearly the main thing keeping Falcom chugging along at this point, even if sales get worse every time as they keep chipping away at the hard core of Cold Steel obsessives that are slowly drifting off.
>>715614018
The big draw of Trails though is that it's one big continuous story.
They just needed skill they didn't have to pull it off right, but people still buy into it just to see where it goes.
>>715620128
More liek because they were already doing it before it was cool. >What? The game is only half done?!!! >Release them >What? The game is actually printing money >Finish the other half but make it longer, just because
