>Atlus left untranslated nihongo in the western release

This has to be a fucking joke, right? How does a "professional" studio manage to make simple fuck-ups like this?

They are busy with a real shin megoomi tensei game

It was one line which was fixed before release. the only people who saw it are pirates who never got the day one patch.

...

Isn't this easily patchable, though? Also, EL-OH-EL at calling Atlususa "professional", they would be gone by now if they didn't piggy back on Atlus.

So is it any good?

>How does a "professional" studio manage to make simple fuck-ups like this?
I dunno but I remember Capcom made the same fuckup in western release of Mega Man Battle Network 5 DS. There was a single line left in Japanese during that part of the story where you have Protoman in your PET.

Yes.

Best girl.

>It won't be fixed for the release
>If it does get fixed it won't be in a timely manner
Did you even read the article bro?

But she's a fujo.

It's okay.

>Implying Fujos aren't kinky as fuck.

>Toki instakills 4 horde reinforcements back to back as soon as they spawn
Fuck, why is she best girl?

For those anons who have been putting time into the game, I got to the first Odin fight and Toki took off, does she come back as part of the story, or do I have to go out of my way to get her back?

What's wrong with fujos?

Story. Although she doesn't stay for good until a few events after her 2nd appearance.

>Toki's dream is to fug MC lots and to bear lots of MC's kids

How can the other girls even compete?

Dude. Fujos are fucking freaks in bed.

maybe you should try reading the article you posted retard

Thank you. Her skills were too good. Doesn't hurt that she a cute

>we’re going to look into being able to fix it, but we don’t know if it’s feasible or if we even have a timetable for it, but as soon as we know something one way or the other, we’ll let you know.

They should credit some free DLC for this shit.

Monkey Face.

Easily enough considering they also did this.

They also say having your partner die is rare, but the AI can just choose to target them until they die. I've had it happen a few times in single playthrough so far. Either their QA team is extremely lucky or AtlusUSA is lying.

Asahi also gets jealous when she does join you properly.

where the FUCK am i?

Not even close to the first time

Still better than Yggdra Union's "translation"

That bitch looks nothing like Isabeau.

Nothing does.

is this any better than 4?

>tfw completely forgot this existed
Looks like no pre-order poster and emblems for me. Hopefully they at least hold onto my copy.

In every aspect.

Apparently it's worse.

>How does a "professional" studio manage to make simple fuck-ups like this?

You must be new to gaming.

who do I believe?
But seriously I really loved Soul Hackers and Strange Journey, Nocturne is okay, but damn 4 did not grab me one bit.

Laziness.

Man the early game on whatever meme name they gave Hard is actually pretty hard. I died a couple times trying to get my first couple demons through missing a bunch and enemies with sleep and stun effects chaining them until my party was dead. I know once I get everything setup it'll go back to usual SMT shenanigans of enemies never getting a turn, but geeeez this early game.

So same like SMT4? Hard as fuck early game but it becomes easy mode later.

This is basically like an expansion, don't expect too much to change.

Harder, in my opinion. It doesn't help that I keep fucking missing attacks.

Its better than 4. They fixed a lot of the complaints including labeling the world map so its easier to get around. Overall, I find it to be better than 4.

The whole game can be pretty easy since you can get +15 to your fusion limit fairly early. The DLC is said to be just as hard or even harder than 4's DLC.

It's for one specific late game battle. SMT4A late game is easy and the only way it could have come up is intentionally let them die.

The team should have known to tell the QA group to check all dialogue flags, so it's not much of an excuse though.

P5 better not have the same issue considering how long it's being delayed for.

>SMT4A late game is easy and the only way it could have come up is intentionally let them die.
Even if the AI spends all of its press turns on attacking the partner? How am I supposed to stop that? The game has done that to me a few times and if I can counter it, I'd like to know.

Your late game partners are more than capable of handling the damage produced by the boss character, several having full heals.

Short of constant attack and crit/smirking every time it just wouldn't happen.

Can I fuck Isabeau in this?

Depends on the DLC. Steven's definitely the hardest thing between this and 4 though. Cheating bastard.

Go Massacre route, revive Isabeau as your Goddess, I guess.

lazy devs hardcoding instead of using the dedicated files sent to translation

>give me macao

Its OK user. If you find that same demon again, they'll join you right away for being so nice to them.

"Woops! We forgot the english dub, everything is voiced in japanese!"

Why don't they do the only good mistake??

I'm honestly impressed that AtlusUSA manages to localize anything at all considering how AtlusJP gives them nothing until a couple months before release.

YVHV's world
why'd you do it user?

That sounds like such bullshit. Why would a company intentionally sabotage themselves.

Atlus USA is complete trash but they get to keep their jobs because who cares.

I haven't even finished 4, last time I played was a few months ago.
I think I was at the point where Walter wanted to split off from the group, but wanted to find the "truth" first, whatever that was.
How far into the game am I?

about 75% in, depending on sidequests

>Nozomi regularly uses words like "homeslice", "bannanacakes" and other "gangsta" speak when she talks in the English version

If you knew anything about Atlus you'd know how little they care about AtlusUSA and the west in general.

They don't find it important to patch. They said they have no plans to patch it in the article.

>the text only went unnoticed because our QA team are too good
Yeah fucking right.

Ask Sega.

>game contains so much dialogue and options only available through super specialised conditions that the devs missed a few
Based Atlus

...

I try to do all sidequests as they become available.
I haven't done any of the DLC, though, except for the money/xp/point grind ones.

Based Isabeau working the marks with yaoi

I'm sure they have debugging tools for that. Or they're really fucking inefficient and their QA team deserves a raise.

Because the human cast, with the exception of halleluja, Isabeau, and maybe gaston, were all annoying.

I made Navarre my goddess.

More motivation to stop being an EOP.

So do Atlus USA do all the TL work for EU as well or is that left with whoever (usually Deep Silver) picks up the publishing in EU?

I really hope this isn't localization taking stupid liberties. It looks like it might be.

More importantly, in EU when?

Another fuck up. Jesus, AtlusUSA are hacks.

She was doing that in 4 already.

All of the text is stored in a "strings" file that the game scripts will reference. Then to translate you just replace the jap strings with english. BRILLIANT! Except programmers hack stuff in to meet deadlines, and you can bet that this one time conditional text was hardcoded in the C code rather than extend the scripting language to support it. Happens all the time.

Pretty sure they make a lot from NA copies so it still doesn't make sense to me.

Cred Forums likes boy x boy too, what's the big deal?

afaik atlus usa translates and then the publisher deals with distribution

This. Discussing yaoi mangos with your gf is the best.

this is the second time ive seen this posted but i dont see whats wrong about it?

It's 50,000 macca, not 5000.

quest text says 50,000, requirement text says 5,000

The description says you need to get 50,000 Macca when you actually only need to get 5,000.

oh i see, its a mystery why they havent hired me as well then

Okayr SMT IV

> We’ve discussed internally about the possibility of correcting it, and while fixing it is not off the table yet, if it does happen, it won’t be in a timely manner.
Well that inspires a lot of confidence.

I don't get it. Is that screenshot the line they were talking about? What's bad about it?

Not like it's their job to fix it. Does it suck? Yes, but the game is already out and it would be a waste of hours and resources just to fix some text.

>Not like it's their job to fix it.
It was their job to make sure it wasn't like that in the first place, ergo it is their job to fix it.

In the middle of an end game boss battle there is a dialogue choice you have to make that is untranslated.

...

Buy shit weeb crap, get bad quality

Literally being possessed by a fertility goddess for half the game

Is Nozomi still voiced by Laura Bailey or is she too good for it now?

Does this game still use the shitty topdown Tokyo overworld? How's the story for someone that didn't finish IV?

SEGA gets me right in the feels every fucking time.

Topdown map returns, but it's more connected, easier to move around in, and locations are actually labeled.

Story interrupts IV halfway through the neutral route, and explains the plot throughout anyway.

Shows how much they care about mainline stuff as opposed to Persona.

>Rub a dub dub thanks for the grub

If they cared about Persona it would have dual audio.

It's Karen Strassman now. Expect Laura to be out of everything besides Persona 4 stuff from now on. And I only say that because Atlus USA knows how much fans hated Burch as Rise and because of how much Bailey loves the character.

O'Brien also got replaced by Sean Chiplock for Navarre, but while the performance style is completely different, I think I actually prefer the change. He's hilarious, and his voice is also a lot closer to the Japanese one now.

>the old round of english vas is slowly getting replaced

heres where i start to pirate undubs. the old cast was perfect. johnny, karen, troy, laura, liam, steve, yuri, wendee. bring them back or i wont buy the game

I should also mention that Nozomi's performance is pretty bad in this game, and Strassman seems be phoning in a lot of her performances lately, like Phi in Zero Time Dilemma.

And what are you?

I know it's you, Yuri. You piece of shit.

>Cred Forums says Apocalypse is bad when it comes out in Japan
>suddenly saying it's the best game since Strange Journey/Nocturne
Which is right? Should I get the game?

>Steve
Are you just pulling random names out of a hat? Because Steve Staley is the only Steve I know of who does LA game/anime voice acting, and he has never been in an Atlus game.

He's not even in Apocalypse and confirmed he won't be in P5. And he only voiced some extras in IV anyway.

In 4, an angel specifically tells you that the manga she's reading is unholy.

Yes, and don't forget to kill your friends.

Why do people hate Yuri so much?
I think he is decent enough I liked english Yosuke way better than jap Yosuke and I am usually a sub purist.

Console games really are fucked

>game breaking bug or glaring error is found
>won't get fixed until a month

>meanwhile a game on Steam
>problem fix in a day

blum, cuck

What's with the SE one though? I don't remember their games having so much swearing.

#FE came out and bombed and now they're too busy spoiling P5 in retaliation to shitpost this game

>They are "too good"

QA doesn't works like that.

The point of QA is to push trough every possible situation to avoid bugs and shit.

Incompetent QA testers or somebody is lying here?

>They even replaced Liam.
I think that's even worse. Way to rub it in further. What's he even doing to be so busy he always does these games.

Steve Blum does voice anime you idiot.

Nozomi's voice actor got replaced?
That pure sex voice of her is the only reason why I am playing through the dub of apocalyps now.
Are there anymore replacements I should know of?

That's cute tho

I don't understand how people liked SMTIV. It's not even 1/4th as good as strange journey or Nocturne. It came out on my fucking birthday and I gave up after 12 hours, it's just so fucking boring once you get to Tokyo and have to fumble around trying to figure out exactly what pixel the game wants you to go to and then talk to everyone/touch everything to figure out what archaic bullshit you need to proceed.

>tfw incenses fuck up your balance build

>going balance

I was going to buy this but this game seems short and I don't want to spend money plus atlus tax on something that's short. How long is it?

>not building around incenses

>not playing the undub
you fucking IDIOT
YOU'RE MISSING SHUICHI IKEDA

Blum's been full union for over a decade, so I'm sorry I didn't remember. He hasn't been relevant to Atlus and most anime for forever. And you're almost never getting him in an Atlus game ever again.

He was busy doing the voice direction for the latest WOW expansion. I don't expect him to leave for a while, but he's only going to keep getting high-profile projects from here on out, especially as he moves more towards voice direction.

The only other one is Flynn, who's Keith Silverstein now. Considering you barely heard him in IV, it doesn't take long to adjust.

69 hours in and I'm in the final dungeon

50+ hours for a playthrough and there's 4-5 endings. I spent around 120 hours in SMT IV. I'll easily play more than 100 hours in this game, and it's even better than SMT IV.

Not that user, but playing the undub just makes it more obvious that Fatlus USA forced their visions on characters for no reason. I'm playing it anyways but It hurts.

The problem is that he's got no range, he's only got the one voice which is his natural speaking voice. If you've heard him in one thing you've heard him in everything he's ever done.

>once you get to Tokyo and have to fumble around trying to figure out exactly what pixel the game wants you to go to and then talk to everyone/touch everything to figure out what archaic bullshit you need to proceed.
I never had this problems with SMT IV and IV is the only mainline SMT I have played, before this I had only played DeSu 1/2 and P3/4.
I don't remember having much trouble with figuring out where to go.
I think I only used a guide once or twice, and one of those times was for finding Hachiko in that cerberus side quest.

I should have known better from my IV playthrough.

>fatlus
>professional

Say what you will about dubbing, but at least Atlus actually got a competent voice actress for Asahi in Apocalypse's localization. It was so jarring to hear a complete amateur voicing her next to Ikeda. It only emphasized that Asahi was her first role.

What's changed? Besides removing the line about Asahi not being high level enough to unlock the smart phone, I mean?

>tfw learning moon so I have a general idea of when characters are saying ridiculous shit and when they aren't
just motivates me to keep learning to get away from our retarded localization teams

難しすぎる

I think it's alright, she seems to fit the character at least

>SHUICHI IKEDA
He's dagda right?

yeah

Yup. He's also the guy you beat up at the start of P5.

>mfw people raise english dagda's voice

いいえ!

I meant praise.

>start on Apocalypse
>actually die in the gay peacock demon fight
>Dagda revives you right there which immediately finishes the battle
Thank YHVH
Now I have used my meta demon negotiation skills to quickly snatch myself a Sudama and Caladrius.
Onwards to Caladrius grinding forever as the miss rate is far too retarded to tackle anything else without RNG getting in the way

Thank god Flynns gone so we don't have to listen to Bryce Nepotism.
Who plays Dagda?

The Smash 4 announcer is still pretty good, and more importantly, he actually has a good Irish accent.

Is there something like 4's farm/grind DLC?

you know there were untranslated lines in some social links in p3p as well

>not just passing off as demon speak

sullies the world

In basically every Atlus localized game happened.

But they are "too good" and make jokes instead of working on it.

They all moved on.

They're too good for "anime games" now.

also, unions.

Considering the specific situation necessary to see this error, i don't see why is such big deal, is not a fucking game breaking bug.

ZTD had poor direction with voie acting in general. i wouldn't blame it on her. Everyone but Sigma had some awkward lines.

>the demon is trying to leave
>ignore them
>w-wait, don't be so cold, I'll negotiate with you!
Works every fucking time

Nah, worse than P5, which was in turn, worse than #fe

I haven't kept up with the release as much as I'd wanted, is it not coming to Europe at all or what? This was pretty much the last game I was going to buy for the 3DS so I might as well just pirate it now.

I really admire your dedication, twitter troll

It is, but Q4 or whatever so that could mean anything. Hope it isn't digital only again.

it comes out in europe some time later this year

nice bait

Just pirate now and buy it when it comes out in euro land if you liked it

>shitty persona spin-off series
There's your answer.

>How does a "professional" studio manage to make simple fuck-ups like this?
The ability to patch games made them lazy. Before, you had to be damn sure there were no mistakes before shipping the game. Now you just have to be kinda sure, because you can always fix it later if you were wrong.

Drakengard 3, Nier

Disappointing, but not game breaking. At least they were upfront about it

>Balanced build in SMT

YOU WOT, SON OF MAN?

They care about persona, they just don't give a fuck about people who want dual audio.

...

This isn't really a big deal since the ememy AI rarely target your partner anyway.

>Play a SMT game
>Build my stats in a balanced manner
YHWH'S GONNA FREAK

I got the impression that all manga was unholy when I played.

Pros:
It's literally only going to show up if you're particularly bad at the game.
Cons:
This even happening shows that Atlus USA's method of finding and translating text is janky as fuck, might explain why this took so long.

I'm sad that we lose Chargda in the localization, but Irish-accent Dagda is a good substitute.

>It's literally only going to show up if you're particularly bad at the game.

it has nothing to do with skill, it happens if the boss decides to attack only your partner, it's pure luck

>This is text from a game on a Nintendo console made for autistic children

This would be like the 10th game Atlus has done that in

Atlus having such an atrocious track record of releasing games in pal regions is the exact reason I hacked my 3DS.

>refuse dual audio
>this shit happens
AtlusUSA is cancer! Cancer!

It also requires him getting several smirks/crits in a row, you being under-leveled and more or less not choosing to heal with your party members. It's luck and gimping yourself. It's column A and column B here.

>We never realized that there was a specific set of circumstances for the text to appear in-game, and so it never got localized.

I'm a translator, I've been translating video games for 4 years, and this is absolutely not how it works.

You get the text in a file, you fucking translate the text. No matter what it is.
If I had to play every game I translated start to finish (as they seem to imply they do), I would have killed myself by the 4th fucking dine-and-dash clone.

The fact that none of the translators and no one in the QA team reacted to a segment left in Japanese in what was probably a plain Excel file is absolute BS.

Whatever helps you sleep at night, smtbabby.
>hyping a literal recycled game because it now has a turbodyke instead of a fujobait

>I'm a translator
translate smt games you mong
I'd rather not wait until 20XX to play if...

...

>yeah we know we fucked up and have no intention of fixing our mistake even though you paid good money for this game

>b-b-b-but atleast they were honest about it

fatlusdrones everyone.

nice bait

The only way it makes sense is if they thought it was just dummy code and if none of their playthroughs showed it as such.

I don't want to kill my friends in this game.
I want to protect that smile.

What is this fuzzy feeling?

This desu

As a translator, I can only think of ONE game that didnt have text in a file, and instead the text was "written" on the CG images instead for some stupid reason.

>Duwang

Kek

Fatlus cocksuckers are the worst shit. They charge more for their portable games for no reason, have shit voice direction and they even let untraslated text, but they are based somehow.

I'm not a JP->EN translator though. English's not my first language, written Japanese is a nightmare, and I'm way too old to start learning it now and be able to use it professionally.

This is really not about this, though. I've worked with pretty shitty localization companies who had in their turns pretty shitty clients with abysmal QA testing teams, and none of that ever happened because that would mean that absolutely everyone sucks at every level.
I certainly hope they handle the P5 localization better.

>The team should have known to tell the QA group to check all dialogue flags, so it's not much of an excuse though.
It's really human error though, because it was in the script they got and they just never translated it. Spreadsheets were a mistake.

>They charge more for their portable games for no reason

Is this something only ATLUS USA does or do they charge the extra $10 on Japan and EU too?

If the text means something, anything, even if it's a developer leaving a "fuck you translation team" in a cell, you fucking translate it (and charge it). If you're not sure you have to translate it because it looks like garbage, you hammer the client with questions about it until you get its OK.

In any case, you just don't "leave it here". I'm not even going to mention that it should be easy to know if the text should be translated or not based on the word count, but that's if the project managers even bothered to do one.

What game? This is also pretty retarded, but probably the developer's fault if they didn't give the image.

>not wanting to kill your friends and revive one as a goddess
Pussy.

Yeah, they're about $10-15 more than average in Japan as well when they first come out

> 25 years of living in a hellhole of demons and shit
> still has perfect hair
> still has time to accessorize with earrings

Uh-huh.

So how's the difficulty compared to IV? Still really easy or is there an actual challenge?

She's 16.

Easy af, but at least the demon art is nicer.

I literally defeated the boss a few hours ago, he can easily 3 shot a partner if the AI decides to do so, even without smirk, I didn't get the glitch because I reset to change Toki for Navarre

Better difficulty curve than 4, at least.

If you play on Apocalypse difficulty expect about half of your attacks to be misses in the beginning
This is apparently a-okay for Atlus

Are demon negotiations random bullshit again in Apocalypse?

Demon recruiting wasn't that random unless you were a bitch and gave demons everything they wanted/demanded.

>he isn't one with the demons
For fags like you there's an app that makes negotiation easier.

No I had no problems with recruiting, its not hard. It was just bullshit how arbitrary they were. Negotiations are just fucking guesses

Not really. Negotiation is pretty easy to do if you just refuse to give the demon a lot of shit and use end talks when it's available.

Are physical builds viable?

I know, I finished the game. But you can get completely different responses for the same demon with different dialogue.

Str no
Dex yes

Shoot em up

I FUCKING KNEW IT!

Demons have some lines they respond favorably most of the time
It takes some meta to know but once you get it it's mostly set
Also now there's a chance they will automatically join if you talk and fail a lot or if you used them before, and a 100% chance to join for a big macca fee when prompted

99% of the time a demon keeps asking for stuff in Apocalypse they always end up joining.

Yes, it's just nowhere near as easy as magic in the beginning since you can't exploit weakness

There's still some rng but like I said most times if you pick the "right" choice it will work

with the same dialogue I mean

Of course, but you have to chose between STR (physical) and DEX (gun) builds.

I know, I finished the game. The fact there's arbitrary RNG involved is bad.

I like that demon negotiation is in the game, but it's implementation is pretty meh

Where is that relevant drawing where moneky show the guys her yaoi and Flynn is deleting neutral route?

Love how AtlusUSA changes the lore just for laughs.

The rng impact on some of the "correct" choices is fucking minimal
If you answer for example that the demons is exaggerating when talking something about the moon (usually in the crazy demon dialogue) it will almost if not always prompt negotiation, while if you agree with him it always end talks because he's scared of the alien.
A lot of options are like this

Is the CIA out?

>while fixing it is not off the table yet, if it does happen, it won’t be in a timely manner.
Haha oh wow fucking cunts
>yeah we fucked up but don't hold your breath on us fixing it lol

>How does a "professional" studio manage to make simple fuck-ups like this?

Because failing is never a bad thing?

No I'm talking about how the same demon will begin the conversation with the same line in two separate encounters, and respond completely differently to the same response given to it for no reason.

No we're all just pretending to play it.

Well I hear they're adding negotiations in Persona 5, might be better

Silly demon hunter, it's been out for 4-5 days already

And that like I said is rare as the correct options almost always work

It's pretty standard for Atlus.

Atlus games outside of #FE on a specific dungeon are always like that though

Yep STR is the best build to go with.

Because he is indeed pretty good, he managed to do a pretty convicing accent on Dagda without going into a caricature

There's a point where she talks about reading manga in the original game, and gets all defensive and embarrassed when pressed, and an angel says the books are unholy at one point, it's a pretty obvious stretch.

Weren't they always? SMTIV was easy with a gun build

>Atlus
>professional studio
TOPKEK!!!!!!!!!!! They're literally NISA and NoA's baby.

Is this actually true, and they've changed how Dex works since IV, or are you just an idiot?

>This has to be a fucking joke, right? How does a "professional" studio manage to make simple fuck-ups like this?
They answer that in the fucking post you fucking mongo.

Its 2 lines that only appears when you have your partners dead, the testers never died.

Also the localization is quite good overall.

I'm going back in at 1pm to speak with the manager about this shit. What should I say?

Filthy Fujo

The one who owns a hacked 3ds, instead of the ones who is a salty sonygger.

Pretty sure that's how it worked in IV as well

Oh, I'd play the undub if I didn't have to register to a forum I will likely never use again just to like a comment so I can unlock the MEGA link.

I paid for pins and your store/counter worker won't give me pins. Could you please fix this ?
there

The pins are inside the game case.

>What should I say?
Tell him exactly what happened? duh,What else would you tell him? About your childhood?

>be localizer
>Forget to localize the game

It'd be like if game devs forgot to develop the game.

Idiot, got it.

P5 is coming out soon, who cares about some mobile spinoff?

>soon

6 months

...please tell me you're joking. I left my copy at the store and took back my receipt. Please tell me I don't have to go back in there like a retard and have them open the case for me.

>mobile spinoff
>This is what Personafags actually believe

Ohhhh man.

just learn 2000 joyo kanji, can be done in a week

ebin

They did the same thing with Devil Survivor 2 Record Breaker
I don't have the picture tho

At least, to my knowledge, they keep censorship to a minimum. Is there anything the in the western versions of Apocalypse which was changed to be less controversial/offensive compared to the Jap version?

So, how do you get the black card for that special shop in Ginza this time?

Ask Nintendo every time they let Nintendo of America localise one of their games instead of Nintendo of Europe!

Yeah, they fixed STR. Strength = physical skills, dexterity = gun skills.
Not really, in SMT4 strength was useless, because it only increases your raw sword damage. DEX was the primary attribute for both physical and gun skills.

It's time user...
MASSACRE
Make daddy Dagda proud!

Ah now I remember, its been years. Explains why I had 300 Dex and no Str with my build when I checked my SMT IV save file

Thanks for explaining it unlike that other cunt

Yeah but it's just a few lines of text that they already identified. Nowadays you can patch shit like that in less than a minute. Why would they not just do that?

With the PS2 and earlier consoles, wat you had on the disc was all you were gonna get. If it was terribly or not translated at all, that was tough luck. But they can fix shit like thta easily now.

The poster and pins are inside the case?

I'm proud of Atlus for resisting the censorship scourge and keeping the original intent of the writing fully intact.

>trying to deny the fact that SMT is secondary to Persona
Doubt we'll ever get a console SMT again.

A lot of Japanese companies still see western sales as little more than an extra.

>I'm proud of Atlus for resisting the censorship scourge
LOL.

Who's the best Apocalypse waifu?

pls respond


While censorship is bad I I have a fetish for spats or skintight clothing so ehh

About to start the game, should I get the undub?

Dagda

Mermaid

Those skulls know whats up

Inanna is best waifu of Apocalypse.

Except she's been a fucking fujo since the last game.

She's a big girl

not the first time it happens when doing localization for games
Crapcom, Square, Bandai have done it before.

Yeh but you see her delicious loli butt in the uncensored version.

But she is also Ara Ara. How big is Inanna anyways?

Asahi

What's the difference between demons, personae, and shadows anyway?

To be fair, fujos are pretty common in Japan so it's not that much of a stretch.

And it point out she is a weeb.

Can't wait for them to censor DT2-2

It's gonna be even more butchered because the Vitagen retards ate that censored shit.

>We’ve discussed internally about the possibility of correcting it, and while fixing it is not off the table yet, if it does happen, it won’t be in a timely manner.

Okay, I can forgive Atlus for making this mistake since shit happens and things do slip through cracks but it's literally one line. How can it not be done in a timely matter?


Or is it due to bureaucracy and filing paperwork is why it's slow?

Not him, and I agree with you, but lately Meguro's been all over the place. Koduka has done great work so far.

I guess being a STRfag ain't too bad.

Birdfu best fu

It's pretty ridiculous. However what bothers me more is them not trying to make it up.

Really they should both add in a patch ASAP fixing the untranslated parts [doesn't matter how hard that is, you don't ship a game like that]. And I imagine this game is going to have DLC like IV, so they should at least give one of them out for free as a sorry, and thanks for buying the game.

They better be more careful in the future.

Im full mage and I defeated him in just a few turns, the only thing you need is tetrakarm and he literally kills himself.

Plus I was doing 150 damage with like almost no str.

So no, str a shit.

Why should they be careful when people like you will give them money regardless?

Until you faggots actually vote with your wallet, nothing will change. It's amazing that people still put up with AtlusUSA garbage and actively support them.

>MFW Shesha played you like a damn fiddle and you just didn't notice

Is not critical, is literally just 2 random lines when your allies are defeated in a certain battle. If they dont die you wont even see those lines.

It will be fixed eventually, but its not a priority.

There is no winning this. If people don't buy the game, they'll just say it's because the west isn't interested in SMT. Not because they fucked up.

Localization companies are almost universally cancer. I can count the good ones on one hand. Without using two of my fingers.

That fight if you go WULRD OF STR is ridiculous, you wallop him on the head so goddamn hard its hilarious

I found this game without the paid DLCs even easier than 4 at Hard (I think they added another difficulty in some update which is significantly harder). After the mid game at every level you can fuse very powerful demons. That said there are a few bosses with specific mechanics that needs to be prepared for and will likely kill you on your first encounter.

In case you haven't noticed already, in most situations you need to reject at least one offer (usually the most ridiculous) or the demon will think you are a pansy.

>muh undub
CHING CONG WING WONG PING PONG MING MONG DING DONG KING KONG

So Str, Dex and Mag are all fairly balanced this time?

More or less, Str just takes a bit of time until it becomes a monster because of the skills that make it shine are on higher level demons

Did you even finish the game? The localization is perfectly fine.

They just missed 2 optional lines in a very heavy text game.

To call it a shitty localization is just exaggerating things. When the bulk of it is quite good.

>Oh no, a single extra zero! and one line not translated! oh the horrors!

Every fucking game has typos.

Do physical skill still cost MP or are they HP again?

>Our testers, who have been with the company for quite awhile, and who are well-versed in all things SMT (I think a few of them also were QA for the original SMTIV) were so good, they never ran into the situation of having an unconscious partner during the fight, and henceforth the dialogue in question.
More like your testers probably played on easy breezy mode, and just played through it so many times they hated themselves, the game, and you for making them play through it so much.

You never played Breath of Fire II, did you. A couple of Japanese words that only appear if I fuck-up is nothing compared to not knowing what the flying fuck is going on.

I don't think I ever really had one until now.
Trying to train this babe up.

MP but the demons who are str based can use those skills at a lower cost thanks to the affinity system

They do this on purpose because they know only weebs play these games, OP. Get over it and stop playing that stupid crap.

If they hate their jobs so much why work on it them?

>There is no winning this. If people don't buy the game, they'll just say it's because the west isn't interested in SMT.
I seriously hate how true this is. There is nothing we can possibly do. It's either buy the game, and hope the next one they release is better, or never see the series come to the West again. Do or die.

I don't even give a shit about two lines of text being untranslated. All of the other issues with Atlus make me hate this situation for sure though.

It's true str scales of physical moves now and dex scales only of gun moves.

Ya blew it

Because it's "a job playing video games!" They get paid for it. It is just that - a job. When you're forced to play games dozens or more times, and are actively trying to break it to make sure everything is working correctly, there is a relatively high attrition rate on your "fun" in the process.

What is this about unions?

I remember this happened with Soul Hackers as well.

Just picked this up at Gamestop. Only one copy wasn't reserved and I managed to get it. Fucking Gamestop.

You're the one who pulled fun out of your ass, the post said they were "just too good" and didn't see the error and then you came in saying they hated their jobs, who gives a shit about fun? Its their job

>Ultra weeb game comes out

Fucking what? I could get it from PlayAsia for less

It's 50 every where. Altus tax

You could get it for free if you hacked your 3ds

On what grounds? Who charges fifty dollars for a 3DS game? What even makes it "worth" that much?

well, hey don't care about shin megami tensei anymore

Is this your first Atlus game or are you just baiting?

I got the original SMTIV for $35 new, and all the other ones I've either pirated or bought long after their release date and the price dropped. This is the first time I've encountered this

Atlus always charge extra for their games.

YHVH AND HIS RETARDED SKILLS ARE FUCKING MY SHIT UP

Did you buy the first release of SMT4? All Atlus first release shit is over-priced.

I got it like a month after release.

It's not just the two lines. That's just the straw that broke the camel's back.

>Atlus tax (Atlus games are $10 more expensive than every other 3DS game because for no good reason)
>always fuck up something in their localizations, not quite NISA-tier but close, this is far from the first time people have run across untranslated lines. Sometimes it even results in crashes that weren't present in the JP game
>piss poor excuse for their fuck ups every time, not even a day 1 patch despite people telling them for over a week
>no dual audio options (this is the biggest one for me, especially with 90% of dubs being hot garbage flowing into my ears)

Happens all the time, especially with SMT apparently.

Had the same shit in P4Q where some of the voiced persona names where suddenly in Japanese. Pretty funny actually.

West use to follow West pricing, but they wanted to put the final screw in importing and made all prices comparable. Now we get kinda screwed cuz exchange rate makes nip cheaper but in theory they wanted everybody to pay 50.

They justify it with physical goodies, and maybe a free dlc but yeah it's pretty raw.

The version including the book and cd?

Are you serious. Just be grateful the main character isn't yelling "GAMERGATE IS MURDER" or whatever every time it attacks. Or that the game made it to the west at all.

If a bit of untranslated text was discovered in Nocturne it would be one of those little things that's mentioned every now and then as some kind of cool video game artifact.

They just didn't want to censor your precious nip game.

I want to punch gods and *BEEEEEEP* with my fists.
Also I'm doing just fine with abusing press turns as a str-fag.

>their only job is to make japanese text english
>somehow fuck that up.

>buy it day 1

Yipee

The irony is that they never censored/localised like that since revelations shitposter-kun.

>branch of a company in charge of localizating the company's games

What did she mean by this?

What do I get for importing my chaos save.

By being male.

She's being a woman and want to fuck a man with power.

by studio you mean localization team?

I honestly think SJ's OST is the worst SMT OST, and still one of the weaker overall Megaten ones.

Nothing catchy, nothing standout, really similar.

H-here I go!
W-world of DEX!

lol

Isn't this the real shin mega whatever?

>We never realized that there was a specific set of circumstances for the text to appear in-game, and so it never got localized.

And the best part about this is that there will be a flock of idiots defending you because reasons.

Goddamn, the vidya industry is a joke.

>over 20 years of game development
>forget to translate a single line in one of their jrpgs >people freak out

Well to be fair, I dont remember ever seeing a untranslated line in a jrpg before.
Translate errors sure but not to that extent.
Fuck I just finished Wild Arms 2 and that game is so badly translated it's not even funny.
If Atlus can release a patch or something that can fix that line then it should be a big deal.
Though I still wonder how they fucked that up, I mean they must have a way to check for errors like that beside the testers team.

it's the exact opposite of looks like it might be, if you knew any Japanese you'd know this is a game with a very literal translation just because culturally it doesn't have many parallels with western media, I could name half a dozen Japanese titles relating to Joan of Arc or gay romance fanatics, it's only when you start getting "let's mossy" type shit that you know your getting weird liberties.

Shit haircut.

Turns out playing the game yourself and not using biased opinions does wonders.

>this is a game with a very literal translation
And that's why they changed every instance of "oi" into "hoy", right? For fuck's sake, it's a word we already use in the west and it has exactly the same meaning bot here and in Japan. There's not even any need to "translate" it.

Shut
The
Fuck
Up

STR in IV only affected normal attacks, so it was pretty useless, now it actually affects skills

you can complain about Nintendo not supporting third parties all you want, there not going to stop anyone if they want to put a game on their consoles, that's their business.

Why the fuck do they need to even discuss this? Just fucking patch it. Why won't they patch it?

Any acttil release has plenty. It's also common in NISA games.
This definitely isn't the first time Atlus has done it though, there were NPCs in Persona 3 and 4 with some untranslated lines too.

I just want to shoot stuff.

>find all demons of a special fusion
>WOOOOOAH!!!!!!

The only thing I can think to do is get people to spam their twitter until they comply, or hell, even a petition might work

Good, good.
Let the DEX flow through you.

That would imply that this is the first time that it happens.

They also charge premium price for the games on top of it, so the least they could do is ensure that the localization is perfect, and assure their customers that they will patch any fuck up in case it happens. Which is something that they're not doing because of the most retarded reasons, like that their playtesters are too good at the game to trigger the text, and that you should not hurt their feelings by complaining to them.

did they nerf magic too?

they literally split up gun/physical into str and dex when last game it was all on dex

so non magic builds are worse and magic stays same?

>Atlus
>keeping the original intent of the writing fully intact.
Nigger please, they're almost as liberal in translation as Bamco.
Persona 3 and 4 "retained" the honorifics and yet in both games they took several honorifics and rewrote them into entirely different ones for God knows what reason, and took other ones out to replace with westernisms. That shit doesn't make any sense.

>Japan makes a mistake in game

>West makes a mistake in game
>Our team was just SO GOOD that they never found this error! :^) We'll get to it when we get to it

>level 99
for fucks sake why isn't level cap dlc in the first week

REEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Magic is still by far the best build because you can you know.... actually benefit from press turn on all battles, be it bosses or random encounters

Keep it up. I've played a fuckload of JRPGs in Japanese, but I got really fucking sick a few months ago, to the point where I expected to die every time I wasn't feeling okay, so during the times I was feeling okay (which only lasted for a few hours at most and then back to days of suffering) I just played SMT III in English because I wanted maximum comfort. Then I played SMT IV after I was okay again in English because I got lazy I guess and I regret it.

>there were NPCs in Persona 3 and 4 with some untranslated lines

Kanjis and all? I played the original P3/FES and P4 on Ps2 and I dont remember that at all. Unless you mean in the PSP/Vita versions.

I mean IV is a perfect example of this.

>Koga Saburo on Walters route
>Makes animalistic noises and even sounds like he's roaring in Japanese
>Yuri's english Koga sounds high

And the intent is that he's a wild animal.

If you can understand Nip, why aren't you just playing the Japanese version then if the localization is bad?

I have question is going world of the best endgame build. because I heard the strongest skill in the game is scaled of str?

Tell me about it, I've never even seen fan translators fuck up honorifics that bad. They're usually pretty consistent really.

Can't recall which versions or which ones in P4, but there was an NPC in the station area in P3 FES who had untranslated dialogue at one point. Comparatively pretty minor, but it was there.

Is it viable to do a magic+gun build, or should I just focus on one stat?

*LOUD SIGH

Technically anything is viable so long as you're doing something other than passing your turn.

Just don't expect to do ridiculous damage like people that specialize a stat.

Why order from EB Games. Why not amazon?

>We'll get to it when we get to it but that'll cost money so we probably won't

>Reminding people of how a decent podcast became SJW'd

Thanks my man.

Yeah. Have fun. I stopped right before entering there to go do side stuff like muh fiend fights

What's with the SF4 font?

You guys are aware P3:P and Soul hackers also had untranslated lines right?

I guess you could say it's just a IV font at this point

Yes, and each area is fucking massive so you'll be running around a lot. There's a bunch of teleporters, one way doors, and dagger walls to break.
Demons can't be recruited in it, and for the first two or so floors, you can't see their weaknesses/resistances.
Enjoy.

Yes and Overclocked. Which could also crash.

>dagger walls to break.
worst addition to this game bar none. Sorry Navarre, I like you but that's a bullshit mechanic

WHY ARE YOU SHITLORDS BUYING THIS GAME?!?!?!

DON'T YOU PIGS REALIZE THIS GAME BLUNTLY SUPPORT THAT EVIL RACIST SEXIST MISOGYNISTIC PIG RONALD DRUMPFT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Sounds like a proper final dungeon.

I got bored of SMT IV after defeating minotaur and medusa

came back recently and there's a fucking search limit in the fusion filter? I just want to find all the new demons I can fuse without using these shitty filters

can't even filter by level, so fucking bad. each time I level up there's so much effort into finding the new demons I can make

I don't see how this shitpost is related to the game but okay.

...

>Metatron hordes.
Can he get any more beta?

>came back recently and there's a fucking search limit in the fusion filter? I just want to find all the new demons I can fuse without using these shitty filters
>can't even filter by level, so fucking bad. each time I level up there's so much effort into finding the new demons I can make
This is why I like Devil survivors fusion system you could see every demon you can fuse at your current level and what demons you can fuse 3 levels ahead of yours.
This way it was easier to plan your team out and you could prepare some demons in advance to fuse a demon which is a few level ahead of yours.

Costs money to patch.

I don't care, Atlus tax has been a thing for quite a while now, they should be able to fix it.

why do physical skills cost mp still

what the fuck do the high hp low mp str/dex demons do ?

They broke the hardest optional level in Catherine so that you need to play in two player mode in order to win, and thus need to manage two controllers and two characters. I don't think this was ever fixed.

If they won't patch that, you think they'll patch an untranslated line here or there?

Well shit, that's nice to know, I'm still playing through Catherine.

First they have to ask for Atlus japan for the money to patch this and atlus japan has to ask Sega Sammy for that, chances are next to none it will ever happen

Is STR still useless in this game like how it was in IV or did they fix it?

Use physical skill with no problem because they have affinity for them and as such cost a lot less

the demons do less attacks.

phys attacks requiring mp isnt really a problem and hasnt ever been.

Why is STR useless in IV? I just started playing IV and I've been investing a decent bit in IV. Did I fuck up?

It's good late game, so if you wanna have an easy time early game go dex/luck or mag/luck

They fixed it. Now STR affects physical and DEX affects gun. STR takes a while to get rolling but when it does it becomes an unstoppable pain train. Magic is still probably the best attack stat overall, though.

Yes MAG is the only good stat in IV

STR in IV only affected your regular weapon hits. Physical skills get stronger with DEX.

>mag
>not dex

A single line left in japanese is weaksauce if you've been playing weeb games for longer than the last six years.

Wake me up when you get something really weird, like a single line being translated in german for no apparent reason in the american version of the friends of mineral town.

So DEX affects gun skills while STR is for other physical skills like the presses?

I'm okay with this. I'll probably roll a build of those two since I really enjoyed going full DEX in IV.

No they fixed it. Its weak early/mid game (MAG and DEX are better) but mid/late game it becomes the best build. Akasha Arts is basically this games Freikugel.

>Finally got back around to playing SMT IV
>Realize I have a fucking chainsaw in my inventory

>it causes fear

Basically if it has a slashy icon it's STR-scaling, if it has a shooty icon it's DEX-scaling. The reason DEX is better early game is probably because Pierce weakness is a hell of a lot more common than generic physical weakness, so they get press turns. Magic is, of course, the best at getting press turns.

End-game STR is for if you just want to say "Fuck your press turns, I only need one turn to destroy your face"
