@ChoopiChoosi I can't speak for Trails but it is true that most Ys games are painfully average. Even Ys 8, which many call a masterpiece, is just kind of slightly above average for me... if im being generous. I do still need to get to IX and X but for now Origins is my favorite lol.

@ReiKondoh お答えいただき、ありがとうございます、とても参考になりました。昔のRoland系のビブラートっぽい音に近いと聞いたことがあったので、なるほどと思いました。自分もあの音色を妙に気に入っています（笑）

@ReiKondoh ご返信ありがとうございます。使用されていなかったのですね。それでもあのフルート音が似ているのは興味深いです。ちなみに「力を感じる…私たちと同じ力…」のフルートリードは、私が話していた音の特に好きな例です。もしご記憶で、差し支えなければそのフルートリードの音源をお聞きしたいです。

@linkasobi I have debated with (and destroyed) so many of these kinds of retards in the past. One of the main issues with them is that they have this twisted idea that the localizer is this savior who must "elevate" the art piece rather than just translate it as best they can. It's gross.

@GlueEater3000 Dark Souls 2 makes me want life because it is peak.

@oderiviere Ah, I see what you mean. It is good thatsites like VGMdb exist, whichallow one to browse through most of what a game composer has done (most is usually documented.) I often discover a composer through a particular OST and then use the site to discover&check out their other works.

[AstraProc @AstraProc]

@oderiviere So what happens then is that they share said music to other's who don't have the context, and to them that (often context dependant) music is boring as shit. It's best to share and discuss game music that is simply great music in or out of context. 2/2

[AstraProc @AstraProc]

@oderiviere Not sure what you mean by the first point, but the third one is pretty true and annoying. Often people share game music they like only because they are envisioning the in game context they experienced it in as they hear it, but not actually because of the music itself. 1/2

As well as all that, there is also just the localizer classic of rewriting a bunch of dialogue to sound "cooler" in their eyes. For instance, a lot of Lucina's iconic lines are actually just made up by the localizers, for example all that she says in the chp 6 assassin cutscene.

I have been playing through Fire Emblem Awakening in Japanese lately, and am realizing that this game was actually censored by the localizers very heavily. Perhaps just as much as Fates, yet it's not talked about nearly as much. 1/2

[AstraProc @AstraProc]

One key thing I noticed is that any dialogue that is remotely sexual was totally censored by the localizers. For instance, the topic of small breasts comes up multiple times in the Robin x Cordelia support, yet that was removed in English. 2/3

@_tokuninai @CuteAndFunnyAlt @magicrit The SRS? 90%? Tbh I am not sure what you mean with these terms here lol. I just do the card until I have the reading somewhat memorized, but I suppose there is more to it than that.

[AstraProc @AstraProc]

@_tokuninai @CuteAndFunnyAlt @magicrit I do see your point and there are some days where I feel it is unproductive for me to do too much. However, I do feel that if I don't review each word I mined the previous day even once (even if its a lot of words and takes longer than 15m), then I will just forget the word.

[AstraProc @AstraProc]

@LagSpike776 Hm, never seen this card format before, what's its purpose? Training drawing kanji from memory or smthing? Seems like that is what he is doing but I dunno.

[AstraProc @AstraProc]

@_tokuninai @CuteAndFunnyAlt @magicrit I know that's what a certain guide says, but I think it depends on how much one is studying per day. Like it can be longer than 15m and still the same percentage of your overall study if study all day. Also depends on how much new vocabulary one just encountered the day prior.
