  • @jokx4409
    @jokx4409 ปีที่แล้ว +26

    This story of a fan translation becoming official is insane, and something I want MANY MANY franchises to have. Ace Attorney investigations 2, all the 7 unlocalized fire emblem games of course, Mother 3 (of COURSE) and so much more even though they don't come to mind right now. Just the IDEA of a fan translation that's been available for years and the fanbase's accepted way of playing the game becoming the official version is a MUCH better scenario than if the company translates it themselves if you ask me. There wouldn't be comparisons between 2 translations, no character name changes, no dialogue changes, no split within the fandom, no confusion because two people played different versions, etc.
    I want this *ESPECIALLY* for Ace Attorney Investigations 2. The translators did a phenomenal job. It's so great that if it wasn't for the disclaimer saying it's a fan translation when you boot it, you could trick anyone into thinking this was released alongside all the DS games. A trope in all of the games is to have almost every character's name be a pun of some sort, and the translators managed to do it flawlessly, even managing to correctly translate puns that foreshadow the game's mysteries in SUCH clever ways. Right now those things are standard for anyone playing the game, but if there was a different translation, some players wouldn't get to experience this kind of super clever translating. The fan translators already perfectly emulated the quirky translations we get from capcom so we don't need another take on it, just like there aren't multiple translations of officially released games. The translation's all there, I just want them to USE it, I don't think anyone would call it lazy, we'd be grateful that it would be the game we know and love exactly as how we remember it. I'd just be awful to have "translation wars" inside a fanbase.
    So yes, I agree entirely with the message to buy this game just to support the idea of a fan translation becoming official to set an example for the rest of the industry. It allows the publisher to not spend as much time and money on translating, it makes the creators of the translation super proud, and pleases the fans. Everybody wins.

  • @lukedelameter7961

    So, my story with Trails is really wonky. As someone who owns only a Switch and an HP laptop, I had no idea just what this series actually was when I came across it. Cold Steel 3 had a demo on the eShop that I played, enjoyed, and wanted more of. So like an absolute idiot I started with one of the (at the time) latest entries in a deeply interconnected, richly storied series with only minimal knowledge of what it was about.
    Surprisingly enough, I *loved* it. The combat was addictive, the soundtrack was awesome, and I found myself getting very invested in the lives of New Class VII. About halfway through I was hooked enough to finally make myself a Steam account, and download Trails in the Sky FC onto my laptop, since I could tell that the entire series was gold. I only played a few hours initially, and focused back on CS3, only focusing again on Sky FC after I had finished that.
    That’s why I’m glad that, even if you don’t personally recommend doing it, you admit that you can start with Zero. I may have played my first Trails game out of order, but my point is that I needed to have that good experience to become convinced to give the rest of the series a shot. Now I’m in the last chapter of Sky SC, have nearly every game in the series at the ready, and even plan on replaying CS3 when I catch back up!

    @craig581 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    It really is a great series and I don't think anyone would have any issue jumping right into playing from Zero and take it from there. What I would say however, is that if you're someone who isn't into in-depth story telling and world building, then this may not be the game for you as there is a lot of reading and lengthy text to get through. But It's well worth it if you're patient and attempt to read everything you can which can add valuable additional context behind characters and the general world of Trails.
    What I love about these games, especially the 2D aesthetic and battle system is that they feel like a spiritual successor to the forgotten Grandia series, which I absolutely adore. Don't get me wrong, I love the Cold Steel series, but the aesthetic doesn't quite capture it for me when they turned to 3D.

    He's right about making the commitment and not regretting it after, I started with Trails in the Sky FC back in March, and have been slowly making my way through the games this year. I just beat Zero a few days ago and am now starting Azure. Who knew a very specific purple specimen would make me tear up.

      finish SC first. trails the 3rd is one of my absolute favorites, but you can honestly skip it if you want to jump right into crossbell. Third fleshes out many character's backstory but none of the characters except Kevin and Reise go through any meaningful plot development in that game that's needed to know in order to get the "full" context of zero.

    Yes! This video is great! While I am of the opinion that this series is definitely best enjoyed in release order, Trails from Zero is a valid starting point, as it is the most self-contained game that can be appreciated on its own. Of course, I would still recommend starting with the Sky trilogy. It was my greatest decision ever. It was an unforgetable journey! Man, the Renne plotline really made me cry. Estelle is bestelle!

      If you're almost done with Sky the 3rd, make sure you go through Star Door 15, it's pretty much the prologue to Trails from Zero. Star Door 15 is the first hint of Zero's villain, and what's going on in Crossbell. The door is not for the faint of heart, be warned.

      @@blackyraypatrick9041 Star Door 15 (the prologue to Zero) is the one at the bottom of the Abyss in Gehenna (the 7th plane), and it only requires Renne to unlock, but you do have to fight through nearly 20 levels of the Abyss filled with strong fiends and three powerful demons just to get there. Star Door 14, which is an extremely important epilogue to Sky SC, and shows Campanella actually delivering the Shinning Ring to the Grandmaster is extremely grindy: you have to clear every other one of the 24 (including Star Door 15) doors in the game before it will open.
      However, Star Door 14 is also extremely important because its the first true indication we have of what the Grandmaster's goal is. She isn't Thanos, and she's not in this to collect all 7 sept-terrions, she's rather explicit: she wanted the shinning ring because it means the first pact no longer applies. Supposedly, that is the same pact Ragnard made with Aidios, but the mystery is why the Grandmater went through all that trouble to dissolve the pact.
      I do agree with you, these are both a ton of work to unlock, watch it on youtube is probably a better bet.

    I just finished Cold Steel IV and I think Trails from Zero is my favourite Trails game, I started with Sky FC and I definitely agree with you. If you really cannot get yourself to play Sky and a more modern game gets you into the series, then go for it. But please try the Sky series first, it is amazing and Zero is amazing because of the build-up!! This game is the best piece of media I have ever experienced in my entire life and the series is too.
