RIP

Well, I guess it is time to finally put Dragon Quest to rest. I know Nintendo has been going down hill for awhile and LOCALIZATION has become a daunting thing. It was one of my favorite series, but I guess it is time to move on. I hope you user's are doing okay through this whole shitstorm called E3.

did they cancel 7 or something?

I'm still seeing the release date for DQ7 to be September 16, 2016

What did they do this time, even more/worse text-only accents despite fans rightfully complaining about those harming readability?

OP IS A FAGGOT IF HE MAKES A VAGUE FUCKING THREAD WITH NO FUCKING ANSWER AS TO WHY DRAGON QUEST IS DEAD

...

...

NoA was never good.

...

...

I still have my DQ9 cartridge.

They can never take it from me.

Fuck off cuck.


Could NoA be the ones who gave Golden Sun an overly wordy script, or was it always like that?

I don't see it. You people are a bunch of reactionary faggots. I thought that they flat out said no more Dragon Quest.

Fucking kill yourselves.

So they are misunderstanding her being a bossy bitch as a trait of a strong woman.

I have been playing through the series from the beginning, I will be stopping at 8.

Fuck off Nintencuck apologist.

Holy shit, ever since E3 started the already shit quality of this board has plunged to new lows. Shills, cucks, and newfags have fucking pozzed everything up. Please tell me I'm not the only who's noticed.

I don't get it. What's wrong in that video?

Just do what I did. Just fucking abandon any hope of Dragon Quest receiving a faithful translation and start playing the games in Japanese. If you learn Japanese like I did, you can play all those spinoffs that never came out (and never will), and you can enjoy them without "ye old english" and "diverse" accents. I'm playing through the entire series in Japanese and having a blast. Dragon Quest is as alive as ever in Japan, but it's fucking DEAD in the west.

Besides the pointless name changes for Gabo and Aira, I saw nothing wrong with DQ7 from the stream.
Not sure why you're having a problem.

I dont get it? What's wrong with that video, they are just talking about a know character archetype.

Tsundere is now "stronk independent womyn who don't need no man". Between this and Paper Mario's shots at Gamergate it's clear that Nintendo's neghole has been pozzed by SJW faggots.

The original script isn't the most concise, but a large part of the problem is NoA's fault. A lot of quick "You said ___?" lines are expanded a lot to make it less obvious. I can understand why they tried this (Asking for clarification like that all the time is a very "Japanese" conversation flow and frequently mocked in games that don't alter it) but they did it poorly and just made the text more wordswordswords.

Further the personalities are far more muted in English. They were never prominent to start with, but the game was pretty dependent upon some quirks of the Japanese language to indicate tone. Some characters were hit worse than others. Steps were definitely taken to maintain Alex's creepy politeness to people he is making threats to is maintained, though some parts of it are lost like his particular way of speaking to Kraden (殿). Mary and Ewan however keep very little to distinguish them.

There's also a bunch of massively random name changes. Some were done for length, and I think it was fair if they had no idea what the fuck スクレータ (Kraden) was supposed to mean (Even with modern Google results my best bet is "Sclater", a famous Zoologist, but I have no idea why they'd name the character after him and the pages are newer than 2001 so I can understand not finding this), but most of the others were just random.

So let me get this straight, Dragon Quest has been treated like garbage in the west for the past ten years. Unnecessary and annoying accents, lazy script writing, cutting out features like party chat because they didn't want to translate it, horrible mobile ports, and the fact that SE was all set to not bring any more of the series over. But this is what breaks you? People from Square Enix, that actually worked on the game describing a character as tsundere? There's a million things that could be wrong with this and it could be a DQ4 tier translation, so I think them saying this is the least of your worries.


They didn't say that though. They described tsundere as someone that's standoffish and has a strong personality, but becomes sweet during 1 on 1 time. Which is what it's always been. They didn't say anything about a "stronk independent womyn who don't need no man."

Besides, is Nintendo even localizing this? During the event, the guys from Square Enix said that they originally weren't going to bring it over because the translation would be too intensive. They only changed their mind when a bunch of French and European fans petitioned them and they saw the demand. If Nintendo was localizing, why would Square care how long the translation process would be, and why would NoA care that Frenchfags want the game?

NoA might be doing it, after all they did DQ6, 9, and the Bravely Games. The way they spoke though, sounded like SE was handling it. Plus the fact that they handled DQ Heroes and DQ Builder.

If anything, I'd be worried that DQ7 and 8 are going to be getting the Bravely Second treatment.

Yes, because they literally don't give a shit about video games and they're just here to react to various political bullshit like a bunch of YT clickbait videos in shitposting form.

Nah, just fucking around.
Dragon Quest and japanese video games have always sucked major dick.
Ita fun to destroy manchildrens lives for 10 minutes a day.

Get fucked.

Son, you been taking trolling lessons from Holla Forums or something? Because ya kinda suck at it. Never pull the "pretending to be retarded" card when you're backed into a corner. Cut your losses and move onto something else.

F, SEE ME AFTER CLASS

fuck u nerd

...

To everyone questioning this post, look towards the boner that is Fire Emblem Fates.


Took the DQVC from ya.


user, you're obviously seeing things, go drink some water.


Depends on if Hillary gets voted in or not since I figure she might try to force a blockade on Japan for soggeyknee points.


What names did they give them?


Nah, they actually spent all their time retranslating the script into accents and didn't have enough time for party chat (and people wonder why accents are shit).

I expect worse, much, much worse.

Wait, that shit at Nichegamer actually was a typo?! It's not under Nintendos total reign like Bravely Default?

Think DQ6 was still Plus Alpha and DQ9 was Schloc LTD, not NoA who at best paid for some parts of the localization process or advertisements.

How can you cancell a PSX game silly? If you have any sense of decency left, you wouldn't even bother with a gutted meme-translated port/remake of such a good game.

Now post a link to today's gameplay footage that had no accents at all. Still, the accents in your webm is really light. There's no problems with accents as long as they aren't overdone.

DQ VI was done by 8-4. No one knows who's working on DQ VII yet, but from what little we've seen, it looks fine.

I don't know what Nichegamer said, but here's the full DQ7 segment from Nintendo's event today. The Japanese guys are from Square Enix and they're the ones that talk about not originally planning to bring the game over. The relevant part is at the 21 minute mark. To me, that sounds like they're calling the shots, but who knows.

If you watch the full thing, you'll also notice that, like said, there's no accents. Granted, they only talk to a couple characters. The ones they do talk to though, talk in more of an old english fashion, like the original Dragon Warrior translations. So hopefully the accents are minimal.

You got me there.

Now you're just trying to scare me.

We better not get screwed out of the casino again, also, if it does turn out to be Treehouse, lets look at the future censored outfits.

Hopefully and yes keep em minimal.

When did you get screwed out of a casino before?

Pokemon HGSS. Really hope EU changed their gambling laws or we get a different version with it still in.

Oh that's what you mean, I thought you meant that DQ had casinos removed in the English versions.

I can't believe a company would cut stuff out of a game that's being released in a region where it's not illegal. Why not let the American games keep the casinos and cut them out of the European versions? I mean, it sucks that they need to be cut out at all, but why make it affect everyone?

Dragon Quest without casinos would suck, at least the games designed with them in mind, they're the easiest way to make money. I managed to hit some sort of jackpot in the second casino in DQ VII 3DS and got 300000 coins from it. With what I bought and sold with them, I was set for the rest of the game. Couldn't believe my luck, I normally don't get that lucky in video game casinos. DQ VIII's casino was easy to win in though, I had enough money to buy everything I wanted and two Gringham whips.

I miss casinos in JRPGs.

Is OP a goon, because he sure as fuck acts like it.

user, we've been through this. "Five fun guys" isn't a reference to gamergate. "Five guys", "fungi", get it? Because they are murshroom men? Also, "shufflegate: exposed" could be a reference to the book "watergate: exposed", if not the actual scandal. Might is also be about gamergate? possibly, but I don't think there is anything solid enough to say for certain.

The jap guy said that, she was just translating
