Troon fragility tbh
Wait, I always thought these games were an RPG with more of a social dialogue focus in play, are they a sex sim or something?

:goldfish: I assume this is bait.

I looked up what they were talking about because I've never played it.

Ah, ok.. I had picked some of them up in various platforms over the years, never played them, just assumed they were typical FF style RPGs. From watching that video, it is definitely something I don't want in my collection, so trash bin it goes.

Atlus also made Catherine, which is some kind of romance-sex-sim-puzzle-game, so it wouldn't surprise me if they were more along those lines than something like Final Fantasy.

Ooh, I love reading this kinda stuff when I need a dose of rage directly in my veins. The fact that they have the gall to do this kinda shit and it all goes unpunished boils my fucking blood. And I don't even play nip games.
Thank God they're starting to lose jobs to AI.

According to Gayming Mag she's the leader of a gang of actual homos. The localizer, probably gay himself, decided to insert American super flamboyant gay/woman lingo.
The guy is actually saying leader in Engrish, so he could have went with something like honcho if he wanted to keep it as a loan word.

Edit: I don't even know if they're gay in the Japanese version. Could be fanfiction localization.

The summaries I could find online of the team and its leader make no mention of it being a fag team, but I would have to see the original scenes to be sure.
Also, is it any good? I loved the original TWEWY.

I dunno. Played a bit of the first one and it wasn't for me. I'm told it could be because the dual touchscreen gameplay doesn't translate very well to an emulator.

Looks like Japan decided to reject the reason why gamers like their games and go for dei money.
Oh well, one more publisher whose games aren't worse even pirating.

Standard release date is the 23rd, but the Deluxe Edition gets 48h early access and if you backed it on Kickstarter you get 72h early access. Shit's insane. Expecting more from this in a few days.

I like how you can tell when something is written by a terminally online leftist because they've shaped their entire vocabulary around the censorship of the platforms they use.

Obviously infuriating qualities aside, the 'muscle-brained' bit really vexes me despite being the only part even minimally related to the original script. Why? There's a word in Japanese that means exactly 'muscle-brained', 脳筋 brain muscle, and it's not the word used in the Japanese line. He's 'used up' that translation now, so if 脳筋 comes up in the script later, he must either translate it the exact same way despite it being a different word (likely), translates it differently despite it having that exact meaning (very likely), or write something completely unrelated (maximally likely).

It's interesting to see how incestuous the industry is as more games get added to the list and we get to connect the dots. For example, Sam Burton, a lead at Dragonbaby, is in the credits for Eiyuden Chronicles even though it was localized by 8-4.
