#Even in the Japanese version of the game

[solradguy]

The GG2Overture art book is a real treasure because they transcribed all the playable characters’ gameplay dialog (like their lines when you do an action, etc) and Sol’s are just like variations on annoyed noises, grunts, and swears. Some guy had to go in and listen to all that and transcribe it lol 

#textpost #Sol's units in this game are also really interesting in that they're the only ones with dialog nearly entirely in English #Even in the Japanese version of the game #Paradigm is the only other 'American' and his units' dialog is in Japanese #I'm not going to translate all the pages in this art book like I am with the GGX one btw #There's just waaaayyyyyy too much in it and I don't think there'd be any real interest in it. Sorry!! #I'm gonna do all the short stories and the illustration captions (which are 100% done and queued) and then maybe anything else- #-that's mildly interesting from the concept art section of the book #But absolutely not every single bit of text in it

  I wish that more English Danganronpa V3 fans knew that in the original Japanese version, Gonta didn’t talk in caveman/Hulk speech. He spoke in normal polite Japanese, only struggling with the meaning of certain words from his lack of experience. He did however talk in third person but Tenko and Angie did as well. In Japanese 3rd person speech works and is used to make characters cute and childish. But in English none of this comes across and instead is just distracting. Its obvious that the NISA translators only kept Gonta in 3rd person to insert weird American humor into the series.

  I especially dislike this translation because Gonta is one of the most important characters in ndrv3, especially when it comes to Kokichi’s character arc. Now, instead of being the sweet and naive entomologist who allows the audience to see beneath Kokichi’s mask, he is now seen as nothing but a joke side character. 

  Which not only ruins Gonta’s entire character but also makes Kokichi’s character and intentions even more confusing.

(No wonder people are confused that Kokichi and Gonta got official Anniversary wine together haha)

  To make things worse, they also changed Kokichi’s character by making him more childish and aggressive.(even going as far as changing his sprites on scenes!) I’d say one of the worst mistranslations though was making his whiteboard have “trustworthy?” written below the photo of Shuichi. In Japanese it says something more along the lines of “dangerous?” or “untrustworthy?”. I really don’t know how they messed this up but it was likely because there was a translator who wanted Kokichi to be shipped with the protagonist. The translation error to me was strange because most of his interactions with Shuichi were negative so, to suddenly say that Shuichi was the only one he trusted would feel like a contradiction. It’s also frustrating because, the original whiteboard translation imo implies that Kokichi may have suspected that Shuichi was the mastermind which is SO INTERESTING and gives their dynamic so much more depth.

In conclusion: NISA ruined V3 lol

#gonta gokuhara #kokichi ouma #shuichi saihara #danganronpa #new danganronpa v3 #ndrv3 #killing harmony #Kokichi seeing Shuichi as the mastermind also just makes so much sense when you look back at everything #it would only make sense that Kokichi would use the whiteboard to continue Kaede's goal of finding the mastermind #and shuichi out of the whole class is the most suspicious given how much power he has over the whole class and the fact that despite being a #detective he barely did anything to find the mastermind #all he did was solve the class trials which just made the killing game continue on #from Kokichis prospective Shuichi being alone with Kaede so much before rantaros death could also be suspicious #you could even argue that this would explain why Kokichi acted weirdly aware during his love hotel scene and why he sprints out of the room #at the end. also speaking of the love hotel NISA also added a weird line to shuich in the Kokichi scene where he basically says that he #found himself wishing that kokichi would stay but repressed the thought #this wasnt in the Japanese version so I dont understand why they would add this other than to add more ship bait #oh and I also find it interesting how similar Shuichi and Tsumugis designs are #I have so much more to say about this but I'll stop for now haha #this was supposed to be about Gonta but oh well;;

i'm considering making cliji/warfield (or even ffxvi overall) gifs but with the actual translation of the japanese text (since japanese and english versions are VERY different in terms of meaning) but i'm afraid that would be a bit weird??

#aya.txt #ffxvi #cliji #warfield #don't get me wrong i dont know nothing about japanese #but in france we're lucky to have the translation of the japanese text so technically all i'll have to do is translating from french to eng #both versions are really really good and they're complimentary which is even better #anyway if i'm doing this i'm scared people will get bacl to me saying ''wait this wasn't in the game'' #so i dont know... but i kinda want english people to know what the game is worth in japanese and maybe add a little more lore into it?

¹reference to an important amis/pangcah cultural symbol, visible in the cover art in the center of the soldier's hat. i could not find the actual word for it in amis and, interestingly, it only appears in the japanese sections of the song. will edit the post if i find it T-T

this song is the story lead singer (and lyricist on this song) Natsuko once heard from her father about her grandfather's experience as an amis volunteer soldier during the final days of WWII. full translation of the portion of the interview that talks about this particular song in very great depth here. brief excerpt for basic contexts:

In 1945, the US military began bombing Taiwan, and Japan was on the verge of facing the reality of their imminent loss. A group of young Amis men were at the Takasago volunteer military camp in Taichung, witnessing the chaos firsthand and fearing deployment under such circumstances. They resolved not to fight any more on another nation’s behalf, and a number of them decided to desert and return to Taitung on foot. Natsuko’s grandfather was among them.

#completely random posting but i was talking to smrithi abt this song and realized it would actually be super short to tl . #and if i was doing it i may as well post it . #the way that this song makes me cry fr truly so beautiful...... bridge gives me chills eeeevery time #info about the song's content under the read more. #and link to wayyyyyyy more info about it lol #> this is based on the official mandarin version posted by the artist and since that is her native language and she like. wrote the song. #i trust it to be accurate to the intended meaning kajhdf #but i speak neither of the languages it is actually in . #so. sorry to any japanese speakers who may see this. #also. this ones a more obv translation note but. #bears mentioning that i think it is appropriate to read rising sun imagery throughout #as both reference to all of the day/night imagery & the symbol of imperial japan. #well. kyokujitsu/旭日 is like. the actual word 4 the rising sun symbol so in that part imperial army is the primary definition being used but #i think even in the other parts it is fair game. #tls

being a wario fan means buying 3 different versions of wario land 2

#6 versions if you like collecting the japanese versions too #i forgot that a game boy only version of wario land 2 existed #like i knew there was gbc only and the black cartridge but the gb only one cart i forgot abt #rn i think i just want the black cartridge even if i dont own an og game boy

the anime has such good opening songs. gera gera po and yo-kai watch (feat. swampy marsh) my beloveds. n the games do too. i mean cheers! full of love and don't stop tomato red are the only ones i've heard (discounting 1 and 2 just using yo-kai watch (feat. swampy marsh) i think) and i barely remember them but from what i remember they're good-

#puppy rambles #yo-kai watch #i've only listened to them in full once bffgffdxvyfdxhtd- #oh n the credits songs for the games are good too. i mean i can't tell 90% of the lyrics for any of them but they're good- #i mean yo-kai exercise no. 1 or whatever it's called has repeatedly gotten stuck in my head for several years for some reason #that one just confuses me cuz the dub uses the japanese version of it in the tengloom segment??? #did the japanese version of the anime ever even use it??? #it's weird. anyways

Shoutout to the Sudadera Celeste and Big Man Splatoon which singlehandedly feed into my "The Splatlands are LITERALLY Latin America-coded" belief

#dreamy talks #likeeeeee im sorry but the fact that the sudadera celeste has a spanish name even when the game is set in english?? #and in the japanese version it has 'セレステ' in the name which is just katakana of Celeste (Light blue in spanish) #LIKEEEEE. same goes for the sudadera roja and the ocho octophones (blancos) but like #what makes me specially insane is that the Sudadera Celeste ALSO has patterns that are very common in south american indigenous cultures #I have noticed the most similarity with Aymara and Mapuche. the sudadera celeste has been driving me insane since the moment #i first saw it bc not only the spanish name but also cuz the patterns. were SO familiar. Like I have seen handmade clothes/tapestries/etc #with those EXACT same patterns it just drives me insane how familiar Splatsville FEELS as a latin american and i love this game sm #cuz of that ngl. It's just nice it kinda makes me feel at home almost? #also im just basically scrapping for crumbs of rep lmfoajfodnfod #I wish the wiki didn't (wrongfully) say that the patterns of the Sudadera Celeste are Inuit-inspired #they resemble native andean textile patterns much more...

why is texas a thing in rhythm heaven-

#puppy rambles #rhythm hell #first contact #it's in the fucking french version. it's always the french version- #whoever was writing the rhythm item and game descriptions for the french version of megamix was having the time of their life i think- #i get that the games aren't canonically in rhythm heaven. which i can accept for first contact and megamix's other games #(they're in earth world as far as i'm concerned) #but like. is earth world just literally meant to be earth??? why is it called earth world then??? i'm so confused- #looking at random wiki pages is an experience- #granted rhythm heaven also has france. that's not even just in the french version it's in the english version #well. they at least have the french language- #i mean actually they have to have the french language no matter what #since there's french audio in ds #everyone in rhythm heaven is very talented when it comes to languages #... well everyone in ds at least- #fever n megamix don't have full translations to european languages #... and also not every ds game even has different english and japanese audio #dj school n big rock finish don't-

the mdzs manga announcement is a double edged sword bc on one hand i'm so so so so hyped to have a comic-style adaptation that isn't the manhua bc i'm. allergic to the webtoon-esque vertical scroll style + prefer b&w comics to colored ones stylistically. and also japanese manga means maybe japanese anime adaptation which means even more mdzs figures bc the jp figure companies will finally be forced to acknowledge it exists which means maybe we'll get more of characters who aren't wangxian please i beg of you i want lsz at the very least. on the other hand it's big news for the people who watched the jp dub of the donghua w english subs and i absolutely resent that.

#'but gsc is a japanese company and there are a ton of mdzs good smile figures' they're all by the shanghai branch lol #but back to the point. the amount of people who take chinese 'anime-style' media and try to. for lack of a better word. japan-wash it makes #me so uncomfortable. like . holy sinophobia batman! if you can't speak japanese then why the hell are you on the jp dub . i mean /i/ know #why but the lack of self awareness is apalling. and it's quite honestly pathetic to do it with mdzs bc it's so heavily rooted in chinese #culture and chinese genre expectations. like . it's not the only xianxia ever and pretending it is is just sad #the one victim of this where it happens even more often has to be genshin . like ppl like to pretend the cn and kr dubs don't even EXIST #and treat the jp dub like it's the 'true' form of the game's dialogue . the jp dub . of a chinese game . is the canon version . #do you hear yourself . #inazuma was a mistake i think the addition of jp aesthetics to the game has just exacerbated this issue x1000 . bc every time i see this #shit it's overlaid over a picture of the shogun . normally that one shot of her from her trailer. you know the one. #romeo.txt

Bro what do you mean endori is only 4 events from the graduation event. Stop it stop it Now

#rat rambles #band posting #bro theyre on the yukiran event rn with crying ran its so jover #yall arent allowed to be catching up thats illegal #well ok saying theyre catching up is egagerating a bit but still thats so scary #I only noticed this because Ive been thinking abt yukiran again because I alas love them still and I found out thats the current event in en #bro once mygo is in en thats rly when its going to be jover #and you know if endori does succeed in catching up one day theyll be in shambles immediately afterwards #although who knows I havent been keeping up with endori so maybe its miraculously become a functional english server again #like idk endori has never been perfect but at least its almost always been more usable than ensekai lol #bro the song list ui alone is enough to make me wanna beg ensekai players to delete it #its ridiculously ugly and unprofessional and also I hate a lot of the english names for songs (~close to grey~ is the big one for me) #also just in general ensekai is incredibly ugly and unstable even by sekai standards and it has done nothing to earn my trust in any regard #like idk if you care at all abt the actual rhythm game part of it I see no reason to not get the japanese version #like I get wanting to have a convienent place to read all the stories translated (even if I do Not trust the translators) #but like even with bndori which I started and played on endori for well over a year I still ended up drifting to jpdori as my main #the massively expanded songlist and up to date events just seem impossible to give up to me if you know how to access them #like ofc I wont go yelling at ppl to play on jp servers (plus theyd make multilives Much more unbarable) idc that much lol #but still I think if you can its a good idea to make a jp account if only so you can play jp exclusive songs if you want #this applies to both sekai and bndori to be clear although Id forgive an endori player for wanting to savor the old ui while they can lol #sekais new ui is fine but bndori's is literally sooooo ugly such a massive downgrade #also while I dont hate the new art direction as much as some ppl I definitely think its worse than the old one by a lot #its so dusty now </3 #anyways I got off topic there time to stop talking

[todayisafridaynight]

this isn't related to rgg at all but finding out you're also a fire emblem fan was great... first the mention of the ike figure then the insane por prices LMAO? i had no idea... what games have you played?

Back In My Day i was known as ‘the eliwood/elihec guy’ and on occasion The Ike Guy LOL but yeah…. Guilty as charged……

As for the games ive played ive played Shadow Dragon (DS remake), Shadows of Valentia, and then FE6-FE3H + FEW (minus Heroes of Light and Shadow)

im an asshole for playing on authentic software hence why i skipped out on FE1-FE5 but maybe one day ill stop being annoying and pick them up on an emulator. Or IntSYS remakes them <- doubtful (well. The rest of the JP-exclusive games anyway lol)

#snap chats #FE is like my DQ honestly LMAO i love the games so much #tho… cant say that nowadays… i havent played any of the new ones since FE3H #no particular reason aside from maybe not being too much of a fan of the art style #but i could just be a true geezer at heart and prefer the old pixel/portrait art of the 2000’s era #SoV’s portrait art is gorgeous tho. that games SOOOO good berkut’s still one of my fave antags to this day #oh but. in case you couldnt tell. FE7 was one of my faves to post for a while LMAO #it was the first game i got to play since my bro got it and let me play it #he also had sacred stones so i played that once i was done with FE7 #then i played brawl and fell in love with ike. as in Big Sword And He Punches/Kicks People #so….. i saved up to buy PoR and later Radiant Dawn (tho i got RD for. MUUUCH much cheaper) #and i mean i always thought marth was cute. And A Girl so when i was able to i got SD #not my favorite game ngl the cast was just. too huge and not memorable but i still love marth as a character #at some point i figured id try to play FE6 and bought a japanese copy (that i had ray chase sign actually) #the hit rate is fucking. ABYSMAL. and my JP was even worse than it is now BUT we got through it #the tellius games def have my fave cast and lore tho and i love the music. and Por do be on my baby the gamecube #and then i got awakening because my childhood bestie- who never played FE before- loved it a million so i figured why not #and then. My Insane Ass. she bought birthright and so of course i bought conquest #but then i heard about the removed features in the JP versions so i bought those and gave her my conquest copy #and then i paid her to homebrew my 3DS because I Am Stupid. so did i pay an obscene amount of money #to play Arguably the worst FE games Yes. but i got to use my ike amiibo so its ok :) #i love how i talk more bout fire emblem on my rgg blog than on my FE blog LMAO thats just how it be #but yeah those are my FE crimes thanks for listening LOL #i oughta cap it there i been talkin WAAAYYY too long LMAO

btw i decided to restart my undertale replay bc i wanted to play through in japanese (both the practice and out of curiosity) and. i gotta say the way they handled the fonts for sans and papyrus was not what i was expecting

#undertale #i don't know what i was expecting tbh #just. not that i guess? #i like it but it's a tad disorienting #and sometimes sans' dialogue is a bit hard to read #it's also somewhat jarring to me to have sans clearly being the older brother #my hc is he's actually the younger one #but it's kinda adorable regardless #also i really like how the japanese version has been using kanji so far #it feels very easy to subscribe to the ''chara does the flavor text'' hc imo #it would also make frisk seem young enough to struggle with kanji #but anything they hear or might be being read to them is in almost entirely in kana which is neat #although this theory would mean that chara refused to read them the signs in the colored switches puzzle.... #also playing through while actively thinking about what the characters are saying is. interesting #like y'know how towards the end of the true pacifism route toriel scolds asgore for his inaction? #i just realized she does the same damn thing. she could've destroyed the exit to the ruins before frisk caught up to her #or before they even found the house or before they even fell into the underground at all #it's interesting #also now that i'm reading in a language i'm not as comfortable with. i've noticed... #it's REALLY frustrating when the game dialogue doesn't wait for you to finish reading it #like i do get it but yeesh

idea in my head: i would love to animate what the little buddies would do while you get a combo, even if it's just like 5 frame "animation" bc i'm not good at animating

problem: how do i. draw out and animate a combo. like the actual puzzle game part, how would i even start to do that. do i just leave it up to the imagination

#i have a few in mind aaaaaaaaaa i wanna draw the little pig spinning around #i know this makes sense to none of you but i wanna talk about it #I HAVE AN OLD DRAWING OF DEO AS THIANA THAT HAS BEEN LAYING AROUND FOR *YEARS* NOW KJFHDJG #THIS IS AN IDEA I'VE HAD FOR A VERY LONG TIME BC THIS IS MY FAVORITE GAME #a distant dream of mine would be to actually retexture the game and make it playable i would kill to see that happen #but im ***so bad*** at sprite art. i draw in pixel art sometimes but i mean like. 32*16 sprite art HOW DO YOU DRAW THAT SMALL #augh i tried to make one a very long time ago for a long-dead video game au and the creator of the au liked it but. i did not. #maybe if i try again i could do a bit better today #if i retextured even one stage i would actually cry like could you imagine if that worked #i dont even know how to access that info in my roms but clearly someone knows how #bc i have an english version of the japanese game #ALSO COOL THING IF YOU'VE READ THIS FAR I ACTUALLY HAVE THAT ENGLISH/JAPANESE ROM ON A CARTRIDGE :D (it's for the snes) #the cartridge is 3d printed and red it is SOOOOO cool. got it shipped to me for $13 and it is my prized possession that's my babygirl kjfhd #i get to use my super busted up held-together-by-electric-tape controller on it yippee wahoo i like the computer roms but #i like the feedback of the real snes controllers. i have a few usb ones but it's not the same #i thought about replacing the buttons with my (second) real snes controller buttons #but. then i lost my screwdriver set when i moved back home for The Covid Year. so :/ #wow that was an essay. i really needed to talk about something that wasnt strictly mcyt fkjdhg i needed a good soul cleanse i think #chat
