Tried getting into those games, but I keep worrying that the lack of voice acting will prevent me from knowing whether the games have good translations or are way too localized in an annoying way. Can you please recommend me some games with the best translations? I don't care about the genre.
get a job
Just learn japanese and stop being a faggot.
>>750903387I promise you, I got no idea who this anon is and what your pic got to do with my post
>>750903467>learning Japanese when GPT-6 ASTRA happenedWhy?... I am fine with MTL suggestions also. Lots of vns are having them those days, why RPG Maker games not going for this route?
>>750903454I just checked it out, and all the prequels are not translated...
>>750903134Did Nobey One (the guy who drew that) cancel that RPGmaker game he was making? Like, was that ever stated?
>>750904264No idea
>>750903387demon legacy lost
>>750905291Qrd?
>>750903134Black Souls 2 gets the Fromsoft tone well. It is also filled to the brim with various references, and the translator seems to have caught most of them, quoting the original English text (the game is full of Victorian-era authors) instead of offering his own butchered version.
>>750905628extremely overrated game that rpg maker purists shill along with other trash like unterwegs and vampires dawn
>>750905685Case in point: this scene would not hit as hard if the translator failed to notice the Nightingale pledge.
>>750905685The first translation is better because it is more faithful to the original, even if the second one sounds better. Can you play this game with the first TL?
>>750905685>>750905819BS1 and 2 are the only good RPGM games.
>>750905934The first one is a shitty MTL. And it's probably the only game where the experience in English is arguably better than in the original Japanese, as you get access to the original quotes directly instead of through a Jap translation.
>rpgm maker thread>instantly overrun with Black Sludge shillsmake it fucking stop.
>>750906341>>750905291
>>750906341That do be happening
>>750906458No one cares
>>750903134Devil Princess Noir and Fairy Maze have a good one. They're on r*ddit though
>>750908719>tickling gamesWhy tho?
>>750909152>He doesn't jerk off to lolis being tickled until they piss themselvesFags get gone
>made by one guy as a throw away game jam game>mogs all your indestructable folded 10000 times nipponese games anywaykneel
>>750903454>2k
>>750910705>posting shit for modded versions of 2003Not sure the point you're trying to make here.
>>750905934How do you know that? Do you have the Japanese lines on hand?
>>750906194>And it's probably the only game where the experience in English is arguably better than in the original JapaneseThen the localizer should make their own game if they were better writers, no?>>750911812It is clear as day that the first one is the more faithful one to the original text, that how Japanese kuso texts sound like. The 2nd one is just english literature, nothing to do with Japan.
>>750906112Branigger
>>750912398Nigger
>>750912398>The 2nd one is just english literatureWell yeah, that's the point.
>>750912398So you just decided one was faithful and the other wasn't based on a coin flip. If you don't have the original dialogue, you don't know which is more accurate. You can't even say>But a Japanese word is there soCould literally be made-up. It happens.
>>750903387What's the problem with Enchant Farm?
>>750912940Nta, do you truly think there is a chance that the 2nd one is more accurate than the 1st one?... Why would the MTL translate it less faithfully than a localizer who is clearly deliberately changing stuff?
>>750913118Why would assume MTL is faithful? It could be removing shit or making up shit because it doesn't know how to handle the text. There's the also the possibility they're both wrong in different ways. You can't know without the original dialogue.
>>750913004>no porn>no story>no lore>king's field ripoff>pokemon ripoff>SaGa ripoff>same dude keeps spamming it here all the timeTake your pick.
>>750912940>>750913357Anon he's clearly applying the "localizers are trannies who hate Japanese stuff" lens and will listen to no reason at all, just stop replying to him and let him wallow.
>>750913406>>no pornI will now play your game
>>750913357>It could be removing shit or making up shit because it doesn't know how to handle the textAh, you actually live in the 2000's, my fault for wasting time with you.
>>750913578Whether that's true or not changes literally nothing. You can talk about how the mindset or methodology of translators can run counter to accurate translation, that is independent of the fact that you need the original text to access accuracy. >>750913706Even to this day, MTL still does this.
>>750913118>Despite objections manifold and manifest, I have preserved the balance of sentences and the prose rhyme and rhythm which Easterns look upon as mere music. This "Saj'a," or cadence of the cooing dove, has in Arabic its special duties. It adds a sparkle to description and a point to proverb, epigram and dialogue; it corresponds with our "artful alliteration" (which in places I have substituted for it) and, generally, it defines the boundaries between the classical and the popular styles which jostle each other in The Nights. If at times it appear strained and forced, after the wont of rhymed prose, the scholar will observe that, despite the immense copiousness of assonants and consonants in Arabic, the strain is often put upon it intentionally, like the Rims cars of Dante and the Troubadours. This rhymed prose may be "un English" and unpleasant, even irritating to the British ear; still I look upon it as a sine quâ non for a complete reproduction of the original.Translation accuracy does not correspond 1:1 with using the same words in the exact same order. A perfectly normal and natural sentence in German or Russian can sound completely alien when translated this way; just look at how unnatural P&V feels, which is not the case with the original. Attempting to translate the original's style is a valid translation choice.Of course you also have abominations like Wilson's translation of the Iliad+Odyssey, which maintains neither style nor meaning (translating Greek hexameter into English pentameter while keeping the line count 1:1 drops information by design)
>>750913781Anon I'm telling you replying to him is just going to go in circles.
>>750913932Nothing you said matters because you don't have the original text. You don't know whether>1:1 with using the same words in the exact same orderIs relevant to either translations. >A perfectly normal and natural sentenceHow do you know the original Japanese is normal or natural? You don't. You can't. You haven't presented the source text.
>>750913004it's not DestinyAxeMan
>>750915137Can't find anything about this anywhereWhere can I play it
>>750915396It's just some retard who slops together poorly-translated AI versions of promo images for VIPRPGs that aren't actually translated. Disregard them.
>>750915396https://arch.b4k.dev/v/thread/748918621/#748921872 this post
>>750913406Yeah that's all true from what I played. I liked the combat for a while though.
>>750903134>the lack of voice acting will prevent me from knowing whether the games have good translations or are way too localized in an annoying wayhow would having voice acting allow you to figure that any faster?
>>750917943If it's the Japanese voice acting
>>750917943Everyone and their mamas can understand Japanese being spoken, but not the moonrunes
>>750918004But the subtitles could have bad translations
>>750918178doesn't matter, if you can understand Japanese, you can play most of the game without reading the subtitles
