sanahtlig Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 (2) or (3) would have an identical outcome for me personally, but I'd rather see (2). Quote
XReaper Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 personally i would be fine with a bit of delay, when it results in a much better product. like its been said, for the price of 50 bucks you do expect something. but if mg is going to release an official patch in the near future, thats also fine with me Quote
Chuee Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 cant agree more. the sole purpose of those kind of media is to erntertain ones mind and not the other way round. bad writing, caused by lax editing (or whatever) results almost ever in lesser enjoyment of the whole product, its the same with watching a movie when the screen is continiously flickering. Eh, I'd be inclined to disagree. Flickering actively distracts you from paying attention to whats on-screen. The editing would have to be really bad for it to distract you that much. The only really 'accepted' translation I've played that did this to me was the newer Cross Channel one, which I stopped playing the game around an hour in because of how terrible it was. I doubt Princess Evangile is going to be anywhere near that bad. Quote
XReaper Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 nah when it comes to me reading media like vn´s, ln´s or whatoever, then i´d like to literally shut down my brain & enjoy the ride. but when most or many sentences sound unnaturally or ridiculous wrong, i´m forced to pause whilest reading & think more bout the meaning than i´d would like in the situation. that distracts me in the same way as a flickering screen. from what i´ve read and what rooke mentioned somewhere, the writings are not always wrong in terms of grammar and stuff, but do sound alot unnatural (like endless sentences which could be shortened & therefore smooth to read). in my case that lessens my enjoyment. and when you´re company is in the buiseness for xx years now & you offer a new product like that one for ~50 bucks or more, then its more than justified when the customers are expecting a perfect job done. maybee that´s only my way of thinking, who knows. but seriously when you expect someone to buy sth. from you, for money he or she earned due to hard work, than one should ever aim for the best result. at the end all that matters is a fine product & a little shitty job done (or here a tl) is completely the same thing as when you totally screwed up. i mean we´re living in the year 2015 and not 2 millenia back in time, where reading in latin was sometimes a huge task, caused by mostrous sentences often without period & comma) edit: damn you! i just remembered reading "bello gallico" in school & it gave me the fucking creeps edit 2: and maybe i´m simply a paranoidal scumbag, but i fucking do believe that one of the main reasons why some japanese game developers aren´t willing to cooperate with western companys, is that they´re fucking proud of their work done & therefore fucking fear the possibility of an sloppy english translation, which would fucking cripple the original content, resulting in a negative reputation for the developer.

Decay Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Oohh, I just realized that Pillars of Eternity comes out the day before Princess Evangile. Sorry MangaGamer, but a man has his priorities. I could probably fap to a modern infinity engine-inspired RPG... ... That's not weird, is it? BookwormOtaku and Darklord Rooke 2 Quote
Darklord Rooke Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 No, it's perfectly natural. And Pillars of Eternity is gonna rock, so definitely understand your POV! Quote

Suzu Fanatic Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Speaking of gameplay, I swore I read somewhere that Princess Evangile has actual gameplay in it... is that right? or am I way off? If it does, I may actually think about getting it. Quote

Suzu Fanatic Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 I don't think there is, not with this kind of plot. Didn't think so, not sure where I came up with that notion. So much for my hopes of side-scrolling raunchy highschool girl-on-girl beat-em-up (ala river city ransom/Final Fight etc) :3 Quote

suikashoujo Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Well at least you get some weirdly placed vaginas. What's up with that? Harukoi Otome also had those. Don't most moege have those? Quote

SilverLi Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 I saw this recently and I am starting to question the quality of this VN. Screenshot from the game:This is a man according to the translation. But looking at her you clearly see it is a girl. But this was a picture which is at least 2 weeks old. I hope they edited this in the last second. Quote

I hope they edited this in the last second. iirc, the protag accidentally mistook that character for a man when they first met (for... whatever reason). So in context, it's actually correct. Quote

SilverLi Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 She IS a girl. This is a girl academy, so obviously there will be no man (beside MC) there. And yeah, the MC did mistook her for a boy, so this translation is totally correct. Alright. I probably have to abandon all kind of logic when I am reading this VN on friday/saturday. How can someone mistake her for a boy. Quote

sanahtlig Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 From the hour or so of the demo I played, I didn't notice any issues with translation accuracy (I know enough Japanese to follow some of the dialogue). Rooke has issues with the editing, but this hasn't interfered with my own game experience so far. Not sure if I'm going to get the full game. The demo hasn't hooked me yet, but it hasn't completely turned me off either. Quote
SilverLi Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Princess Evangile is now released on MG. The all ages version on Steam is releases in 1.5h according to the Twitter. Quote
