games

its fine

I think there's an argument to be made that the localizaers have changed the tone of the script, and that's not their job though.

on a different note for good localization, Trails in the sky FC and SC (the original ones, ihave not played the remakes) had localizations that didn't change story or add funny accents like that, but they did change every treasure chest. if you checked an already opened treasure chest, in JP it would just say "the chest is empty" but in the english, every different chest has a different phrase along the lines of "Was the first time not enough for you?"

I'd say the same thing to that though. That changes the tone of the script. I agree that it's a much more fun thing to have, but the localizers are still writing things that aren't there.

I dont think so, you can play the whole game without seeing asingle one of those

you have to go out of your way to re-check treasure chests you already got

and all it replaced was generic "chest is empty" lines

let me have this one tiny, it was a massive pain to get this achievement.

oh that's funny

so is that just not possible if you play in Japanese?

how does that work

i dont know

Many of the jokes they added to the chests were real lame, but I'm still impressed because they had to come up with that many throwaway lines for every single chest in each of these games

there was definitely a couple of duplicate lines in SC

but yeah its a lot of lines to make

Man Trails 1-5 is just peak jrpg gaming

i havent played Sky 3rd or Zero/azure yet

i have them, just havent gotten to them yet

but i really liked FC and SC

i am definitely not doing 100% achievements again though, lol

mostly because after FC/SC they add these and i don't like playing on the hardest difficulty for these kinds of games

No, you're right that Nightmare difficulty effing blows

I thought I'd gotten good at the combat system by the end of FC, so I started SC in nightmare

Its like... every regular encounter could potentially teamwipe and even the guide suggests grinding poms at every available opportunity

yeah that kind of thing isn't fun

lots of grinding and minmaxing character builds

I'm sure the last 30 hours of FC would be earth wall spam

I got a red reaper kill in Vampire Crawlers full release

red reaper?

watch me play really badly and win anyway

is this vampire survivors but as a deck builder

dungeon crawler

I don't know because i never played Vampire Survivors

this is the most absurdly broken build I have achieved though

yes it is, same devs

the game really needs a sort hand button

that 3 in the top right means i have 3 extra lives as well, so I actually had around 8000 hp for this fight

I think resurrection heals you to full

I guess final call for anyone who wants to join the AP asynchronous randomizer we are likely going to start the end of this weekend/monday

Final call being today

Put your YAML + game in that thread. I am collecting them

make sure you know how to set it up before submitting

Question for Phijkchu

How many (non-Nintendo) games have you fully played both the original and the remake for

I had this realization thinking about AssCreed Black Flag's new remake

that I think my answer is zero

If you count DS2 (which is not a remake), that might be the closest thing for me

Idk about full remakes, but I’ve definitely played through some remasters that were non-Nintendo

What's on your list Vinny?

Oh I guess Kingdom Hearts Re:Coded is a remake, so there’s that

Do third party games that were originally released on Nintendo Consoles count? Cause I've done Lufia II, and Lufia Curse of the Sinistrals? Wait. I know a non-nintendo game. Ninja Gaiden 3, and Ninja Gaiden 3 Raisor's Edge.

or was it Razor's Edge?

But there’s KH1 on the HD collection, the last of us remastered, god of war 3 remastered, uncharted 1-3 (the Nathan drake collection counts as a remaster I think?), Legacy of Kain soul reaver remastered, and I’m about half way through Bravely Default HD

Playing through NG3 twice is masochistic

Hats off to you phyrric

I’m sure there’s more that I’m not thinking of, but that’s like the main things that came to mind

Did you play the original persona 3/4 and their remakes?

I've not played the remakes, but they're at least somewhat likely I get around to

Same with the new Trails remake remake

actually wait. I only got through half-way for Razor's Edge. I've completed Tales of Phantasia on SNES and GBA, and got through most of it on PSX.

I’ve not finished any version of 3 or 4, but I’m in October in P3P and in June or July in P4G

0 I think

3 when we get to Rance I-III

binding of isaac, N-game

I've played P4/Golden, P5/Royal, and SMT V/VV if those count. I'd probably only count Golden of those three.

Oh right isaacexists

1

maybe 6 or 7

Pika doing melee archipelago?

Start wavedashing in mission mode to display your superior dexterity

that was fast

lol

Max slapping her belly jumping up and down right now

while sqidward watches

I didn't realize they literally had SweetBabyInc doing the translation

no wonder

I remember now why I never finished Ninja Gaiden 3 Razor's Edge. I kept restarting the game to increase my Karma rating (which you use to buy upgrades), since there is no where to grind in that game. Playing Razor's Edge revealed something in me that makes me not want to play Bayonneta. "Oh you'd love Bayonneta. It's hard", I don't like games that judge me. I'd love for someone to give me a Dark Souls game, but no one ever gives me those.
