You guys opening your wallets for Pantheon? How much would you be willing to spend on your favorite characters?

[Anonymous No.]

>>20650410
Spending more than a console game's worth of money would make me feel scammed, although I don't mind spending more if it's over a long period of time. Especially since the story seems to be about as good as in actual visual novels so far.

>>20646294
>冥府魔道

From how I understand it the last time I tried looking it up, it's basically 'the way of demons in hell/underworld'. In other words, Muzan's way of doing things is perceived inhuman; demonic in its methods.

Compare it with Reinhard's 修羅道. The Asura are arrogant and warlike and 修羅 is used to represent bloodshed, but ego lends itself to some form of method by which they can indulge in superiority.

So Muzan's 冥府魔道 is likely representative of how he is willing to do just about anything and everything to get the job done. Including the worst kind of shit that you'd think no human being would do. He isn't concerned about looking good or feeling good about himself.

Of course, this is Shinga's world, so it could be exaggerated.

[Anonymous No.]

>>20645487
This is what I would consider while making that decision:
>Is there a commonly accepted English translation?
>How important is the Japanese aesthetic for the work?
>Would a Chinese translation work in this work?
Personally, I would say that there is no good reason to translate it into Chinese, as it doesn't mean much for the common reader and feels like an out that doesn't solve the actual issue at hand. I would consider leaving it untranslated before that, and even that sounds much worse than an actual English translation. You kinda have to explain the meaning of the word for the gaijin who dare dive down this rabbit hole.

[Anonymous No.]

>>20651727
I get the feeling KKK is going to need a glossary added in , if it ever gets an official translation.

[Anonymous No.]

>>20651818
They can also just explain the terms as they come along, especially since the game already has a lot of narration (so voice acting wouldn't be an issue). But yeah, Ikabey does have a glossary menu, so it shouldn't be impossible to add that to KKK, as well.

Do you prefer three colors ending or Rea’s original ending. Ren joining in felt kinda forced, but his negro form was pretty cool.

[Anonymous No.]

>>20661944
Definitely the original. I really liked that it focused on Rein and Merc and the LDO rather then the protagonist, especially since they were the real stars of the show in my eyes. My memories of both are a bit vague but I recall the actuall events and flow and pacing of the original fight being better than three colors as well. Negro form was alright, but the CGs it got didn't do it justice and it doesn't compare to the EFF form which showed up earlier in the same route. On that note I hope that with pantheon we get more of these "God+Kamungara+Legion" banner arts for the other Hadous.

How many times must it be said it's not "meme translation" because the point is Shirou is speaking in gratuitous engrish to emulate hollywood action heroes to sound cool?
The point of translation is to convey the same meaning the lines had in Japanese. Leaving the gratuitous english as is would make the lines lose that "trying to be cool" factor they had in nip

I'd be lying if I said that line didn't me make me question the translation when I first got to that part, but I it's really not that big of an affront. That interpretation, albeit extra crude, conveys practically the same meaning and nuances as the original. Shirou is a dumb fuck that liberally uses dumb references and bravado-laden catchphrases and as such that translation is the same as a more literal one like "Here we go faggots!".

[Anonymous No.]

>>20667891
>>20668428
Dies had 3 translators working on it, and apparently light asked them not to disclose who worked on what parts, so we have no idea who's actually responsible for this line. If I had to guess, I'd say it was Conjueror, his Himawari translation also had a lot of rather odd localization choices.

[Anonymous No.]

>>20668982
Also, Tokyo Babel. He got the nickname Conju-poo because Lilith calls Setsuna with some honorific or something and Conjueror decided to localize it as "Setsu-poo"

>>20672703
After Mercurius reached a new level and became Karl the Cuck, he finally managed to defeat Satanel once and for all and save the multiverse. However, soon after he did so, a stranger appears on the battlefield. It is his own gay love, Reinhard, whose power vastly overshadows Satanel. Even though Mercurius was personally trained by the Throne to replace him, a fact that Satanel resented, Reinhard ordered Spinne to conceptually choke the Throne itself & Naraka while he was away. Reinhard is a prodigy from Nazi Germany who quickly surpassed the Throne's expectations and even Satanel during his training. Luckily, Reinhard loves all & everything, however he is upset that Karl deprived him of a good fight. He therefore challenges the population of Germany to another conflict: the Battle of Berlin. In it we will see Reinhard's henchmen, Machina, appear, as well as many other LDO returning with new forms. Machina will reveal a new form he received after becoming an Einherjar and being trained by Reinhard: Machina Negro/Negredo. With this he will try to one-punch Mercurius. Karl realized that although he has made many friends & gay fuccbois, there are no French titties. However, eventually he will discover that there is actually untapped potential in the Lotus. He will eventually use Lotus' soul to cuck himself.

That being said, he did take over the Throne and became the collection of the world's evils so someone could later defeat him and all the evil along with him. He just didn't want to pass the torch to a random nobody who would just keep the cycle going. Good thing Muzan's entire character is doing exactly what he wants to do without fail.

[Anonymous No.]

>>20711707
I thought they only made a VN budget worth of stuff since light only did the VA, art and OST and the company that worked with them was the one handling all gameplay related stuff and costs that go alongside it.

>Who are they going to work with that's left and why don't they name the company they were working with as a warning for others interested in making a mobage are things I don't get though.
Because they had no experience working on mobage, so calling them out would just look like an attempt to shame them for something they weren't able to do in the first place. If anything, Light are the ones to blame for trusting them so much.

I feel conflicted. On one hand, KKK is a proper sequel whereas IkaBey is a spin-off, but on the other hand, Wilhelm is a cool character, and the IkaBey soundtrack is really great so I've come to expect a lot from it. Since it's shorter it will probably be out sooner as well.

But he's not a major character like he is in IkaBey is he? Also, his loli imoutowife is on the cover of the album so she's probably more of a character in IkaBey than she is in KKK.

[Anonymous No.]

>>20717651
>But he's not a major character like he is in IkaBey is he?
He's as major of a character as everyone else. Kajiri doesn't really have a "main character", even Rindou and Habaki are as prominent as Yakou or Shiori.

>Also, his loli imoutowife is on the cover of the album so she's probably more of a character in IkaBey than she is in KKK.

That's a shame. She seemed like she had potential from the little I've seen of her in Dies Irae.

[Anonymous No.]

>>20717734
Well, you have to keep in mind that the Helga we see in Dies is Wilhelm's Ahnenerbe, and it's not even an actual person. All she cares about is loving/killing/devouring Wilhelm's soul. All that said, Ikabey does show a different aspect of her, but really, it's just another way for Will to use his Briah.

[Anonymous No.]

>>20717752
> Helga we see in Dies is Wilhelm's Ahnenerbe
Huh? I thought she was like Marie in the sense that she's an extraordinary (but nowhere near Marie's level) soul that's contained within the Ahnenerbe.

[Anonymous No.]

>>20717760
Nah, it's pretty explicitly spelled out that it's the Dark Gift that took shape of the person who loved Wilhelm the most, at least in Ikabey.

[Anonymous No.]

>>20717760
Wil killed Helga before he got his relic, so it's just a personified relic. Some people argue that Sakuya is the original Helga, but there is no confirmation of this and it's more likely that she's just relic plus Claudia.
