FALCOM - Trails in the Sky, Cold Steel, Ys Series (SPOILERS)

[Corrderio]

That is a lot of awesome shit, but yeah I'm bittersweet about it. XSEED are great translators and do put a lot of love into their translations. I don't know anything about NIS so I'm not sure how well their translations are.

[Corrderio]

I have a really bad feeling about XSeed losing all of Falcom's new titles, I really hope this doesn't compromise shit with future Trails titles. It'll seriously hurt the series if they stop localizing it.

Chiming in on this I do agree it's a bit concerning how this will affect Cold Steel III and future installments due to how lore heavy they are and another translator can easily fuck up what XSEED has done with the Trails universe.

It may also have a bit of an impact on Ys VIII. I know the Ys games are loosely tied to each other but there is still a sense of continuity and the world could get a bit hairy.

New information on the PS4 version of Ys 8: http://www.siliconera.com/2017/02/23...ion-4-version/

FUCK YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Corrderio]

Also, lot of translation changes are coming it looks like. Here's a quick summary Siliconera put out.

Dead Emperor Sword will become Sword of Abaddon (Loewe’s S-Craft).

Pillar of Salt will become Salt Pale,

Stainrose will become Steinrose.

Grancel museum descriptions will be rewritten and expanded.

Master/King of the Lake will become Guardian of the Lake.

Duke Dunan will be referred to as “Your Grace,” rather than terms like “Your Excellency.”

Capua family group will be sky bandits, Sky Bandits.

The term “flying boats” is being removed, and going forward airships will be the generic term and used for small ships and larger ships will be orbalships.

The “hmm-hmm,” “hmmhmm,” “hmhm,” and “hm-hm” sorts of remarks will be altered and removed, to make the first two games more in line with The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky the 3rd and Trails of Cold Steel I & II.

Mr. Fisher, the Fisherman’s Guild president, will now be known as the Fishing Baron.

Social sciences will become social studies.

The faculty lounge will be used instead of staff office or lounge.

Jenis’ dorms will be referred to in a singular fashion, unless someone is discussing the boys and girls dorms at the same time.

Oliver’s “In fact, I believe the Imperial Academy was to launch an investigation…but then the Hundred Days War broke out.” line will be altered to reflect that the academy being referenced is The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel’s Imperial Institute of Science.

Estelle’s terms for her father will be adjusted for the sake of consistency. For example, She called Cassius “Daddy” as a child in the first game, but “Papa” in the second, so now she will call him “Daddy” in both.

Maybelle will be referred to as Mayor Maybelle by almost everyone, though Lila will call her Miss Maybelle and General Morgan, Kloe, and Yahat call her Maybelle.

Zane Vathek’s name will be changed to Zin for the entire trilogy.

today is a good day to be a falcom fan

[Corrderio]

I'll buy CS all over again just for the times when everyone but Rean had damn dialogue.

Still hoping for a miracle of Azure/Zero though

[Ramzii]

well look at it this way: xseed used to not do ports so zero/azure was a very low possibility since no PC version of azure existed. now xseed is doing ports, and they already own the rights to zero/azure so......................................... maybe ????

[Corrderio]

From my understanding the engine system for Cold Steel is easily portable between PS3/4/Vita/PC.

Though I'm still holding out for an announcement.
