>…いる!
I like how ambiguous the title is. There's no way to know if it's a man, woman or thing. I wonder how a localized title would have worked.

>>8555592
Judging by the tagline on the spine card, it would've been something like "Behind you"

>>8555592
Maybe "It's...!"

>>8555592
Fan translation went with this title

>>8555553

>>8555625
This game was fun. Not much to it really, but it was fun.

>>8555630
It uses the best CCS opening and is that nice chunky satisfying Arika tetris

>>8555625
What the fuck were they thinking when they made that Tomoyo Dreamcast game? The renditions of the anime scenes are adorable and very well done but surely they couldn't put an effort to have actual gameplay?

>>8555592
>There's no way to know if it's a man, woman or thing.
Could be all of those at the same time because you can't tell wether or not it's plural either. So it could be an entire assortment of entities, including males and females. Hence what >>8555606 posted. It trust that this is the appropriate choice here in accordance to the game's plot. It's not a Hellnight/Dark Messiah or Alien Isolation situation in this game, where there's only one monster hunting you, is it?

The only aspect of that title that is certain is that he/she/it/they are alive... or maybe undead. But certainly not "thing(s)" as in objects. What is used for robots btw? いる or ある? Maybe it shifts to the former at some point the more life-like they become?

>>8555603
That just sounds stupid.

>>8555553
Tenchi wo kurau 2. Side scrolling beat em up. Basically arcade quality. Set in medieval china or something. Very very kino

Any differences between PSX and Saturn versions?

Ramen Hashi on Playstation.

Wish I could find a rip of it.

if you like games like besiege or even that one banjo & kazooie game then give panekit a shot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9z27ScZ8rHU

>>8555723
Could have sworn I posted a pic with that post. Shit.

>>8555723
Weird, it's not included in the Japanese rom dumps for PS1.

Persona 4 with mechs and aliens but it's a TRPG / SRPG.

>>8555729
I've looked everywhere. It is oddly absent.

>>8555738
I'll keep looking for it. It looks interesting - if it's cheap to buy I'll just get it and rip it myself.

>>8555747
based

>>8555747
My man. Let us know what you come up with. I know of a handful that apparently aren't ripped if you're interested in those too. (Mostly Mahjong and Shogi shit).

Probably not the best version of this game since the PS1 release got censored in violent parts from what I heard.

Redump lists this game as Raamen-bashi. Full sets on Internet Archive have this game.

>>8555774
Different game, I'm pretty sure.

SLPS 02293

>>8555786
You're right, that's it. Apologies and thanks for your help!

>>8555786
Doesn't help that the usual reading of ラーメン橋 seems to be ラーメンきょう and denotes a specific type of bridge. Pretty sure it stems from the German word "Rahmen" too, which means "frame" since ラーメン橋 seems to mean rigid-frame bridge. Once in a while you'll find the odd German loanword in Japanese.

>>8555818
Oh, actually it totally says it stems from "Rahmen" right at the top there: https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%A9%E3%83%BC%E3%83%A1%E3%83%B3%E6%A9%8B

Didn't bother to read it honestly. I just wanted to see if Raamen-bashi was the official reading of that game's title. Which is is.

>>8555561

I like Advanced V.G. 2 a lot.

>>8555606
>translated by a troon
Not even touching this translation.

>>8555892
Surprisingly fun game, wish I could find more people to play it with

Is there a site where I can check japanese only games for different systems?

>>8555934
Yeah, it's called Google.

>>8555849
This looked goofy and fun, but I couldn't convert it to an eboot for my PSP. Anyone else able to convert this one?

>>8555934
Youtube or ask on /vr/

>>8555553
Certainly not that piece of trash

>>8556046
what do you think of it?

>>8556046
I finished it and its not that bad. Its mediocre but its a nice game for Halloween.

>>8555720
Nope, same game. Worth checking out for sure if you like puzzle games, nice little twist on the puyo formula.

>>8555592
I would have gone with “Presence”.

My humble little collection though I am still adding to it occasionally.

>>8556137
And that is exactly why you're not a translator, Anon. Honestly, "They're Here" is a good choice. At least as far as I can attest bc I haven't played it and don't actually know if it's to "them", "him", "her" or "it" but I'm assuming it is in fact more than one enemy in the game.

>>8556138
What three games would you recommend the most?

>>8556159
What type of games do you enjoy? How is your Japanese?

>>8555728
Absolutely deranged

>>8556168
Good enough for simple games and RPGs where text is reused a lot (in menus, etc). Visual novels would probably take me too long to really enjoy.

>>8556138
The game i would probably want a translation of the most is Septentrion, its the spiritual sequel to SOS and its clunky as fuck but its one of those videogames that are still 100% unique.

>>8556168
Almost the worst possible. I can only translate basic kana with the help of a dictionary, so I can read the options.

>>8556151
I’ve done paid translation assfuck.
Presence works because いる doesn’t imply anything other than something with sentience is copularly there. I’ve never played the game, but I would assume something is in the school, and the characters don’t know what it is. Sounds like a unknown presence to me.

>>8556273
1. Throwing text from furry diaper doujin into Google translate to make a few bucks from your Discord friends hardly counts as "paid translation"
2. "copularly" is not a word
3. Neither "Presence" nor "They're Here" is a good title, although "They're Here" is admittedly worse because it implies multiple entities.

>>8555606
I don't remember seeing that title in the translated version i played

>>8556182
Yeah, SOS is pretty cool but the sequel plays very differently. I don't think it's as good.

>>8556181
Really hard to gauge your language skill here. Sounds like you're currently more of an action guy. So feel free to regard the recommendations below for the other guy as addressing you as well. On top of that maybe try:

Tomba 2 (Will require reading to finish but is literally aimed at kids. Jap version has its own unique soundtrack as a justification for not just going with the US release - which funnily enough for a long time I didn't know even existed.)

Ace Combat 3 (One of the best games on the PS1 imo. Japanese version has a story that WILL go over your head for sure but it should still be fun to play and you'll be able to finish it without much frustration I believe. On top of that the fan translation patch has been out for a year or two now and so you could fall back on that if you really have to. The campaign is well documented I saw anyway. You'll be able to wiki all that stuff.)

Brightis (Light 3D Action RPG focused more on fast combat than anything else. Untranslated. Though there isn't that much reading to do here, what is being said should be paid attention to and advice is to be heeded. It's kind of open so you can miss stuff and get yourself lost in the world. Got a nice artstyle going on. This would probably present the biggest challenge to finish out of these three.)

>>8556184
Oof! I recommend you stick to pure action games with as little story as possible then - SHMUPs, rhythm games and stuff like that.

I'd not reccomend Mad Stalker for PS1 even with the slightly improved gameplay, the PC Engine and X68000 versions are much superior in every other regard.

I just finished the game today. I wanted to punch him but accidentally thanked him. I heard it reveals Philemon's face. Who is he and does that affect the ending of the game? I started EP now.

>>8556395
Wait, it does? Damn! Well, you're still not a translator though... at least I didn't take any money for my services.

>>8556352
What games would you recommend for someone fluent in the language? Any fun JRPGs? It's my fav genre. Pic related is my favourite Japan only JRPG so far.

>>8556405
I remember an anon on here months ago talking about how you can unlock stuff transferring your IS save to EP but I can't find anything about it. But no it doesn't affect anything

>>8556420
Sorry, man. You're not getting any JRPG recs from me. Really not into them at all.

>>8556420
Actually, how do you feel about tactical RPGs, mechs, high school and aliens? Those are pretty cool things right? If your Japanese is in fact good check out 高機動幻想ガンパレード・マーチ and I've been meaning to check out Front Mission 2 myself.

>>8556451
Front Mission 2 is one of the best games on the platform but the loading times are disgustingly slow on real hardware, it got an english translation but its unfinished so its a great idea to play it in japanese if he can.

>>8556413
Not that guy, just wanted to call you a faggot.

Here's the Wikipedia page for GPM:
https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E9%AB%98%E6%A9%9F%E5%8B%95%E5%B9%BB%E6%83%B3%E3%82%AC%E3%83%B3%E3%83%91%E3%83%AC%E3%83%BC%E3%83%89%E3%83%BB%E3%83%9E%E3%83%BC%E3%83%81

It's part of a larger universe. There's an anime and so on:
https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%82%AC%E3%83%B3%E3%83%91%E3%83%AC%E3%83%BC%E3%83%89%E3%83%BB%E3%82%AA%E3%83%BC%E3%82%B1%E3%82%B9%E3%83%88%E3%83%A9

Are there any such exclusives for consoles past the PS3?

>>8556469
I was setting up a joke you fucking retard. I never sucked no one's dick, you dunce. The point was that even though he might have done a "paid translation" at some point in the past, he's not translator. Or he might be idgaf. "Presence" as the title for that game sounds dumb as hell is what I'm saying and is in no way ominous. Whereas "They're here" does - and it's vaguely reminiscent of schlock horror too.

>>8556479
Yes there are some japanese exclusives for modern consoles just not even remotely as many as back in the day

>>8556479
Not even PS3 has any

>>8556315
>Neither "Presence" nor "They're Here" is a good title, although "They're Here" is admittedly worse because it implies multiple entities.
What would be your alternative?

>>8556479
>>8556520
The only JP exclusives off the top of my mine are Ryu Ga Gotoku Kenzan and Ishin. The latter is on PS4 too.

>>8556523
Protip: the full title is printed to the left on the cover

>>8556621
Of course. As long as you escort me back, hunk. ;)

>>8556405
His face is Tatsuya’s. I arm you. You are me. Just adds to the mindfuck that is his existence.
>>8556426
When Tatsuya joins your party in EP, he’ll have the same level as he was in Innocent Sin if you have save data for it (Japanese only obviously), meaning you can break the game in half and have him be level 99 and bulldoze through everything. In the western release he joins you at Level 55

>>8556628
"Behind You" is what I suggested.(>>8555602). "There's Something Behind You..." could work.

>>8556693
それは、あなたの後ろにいる! is more like "It is behind you", not "Something is behind you." "それは" in this case could really only be translated to "It". It is something that is know or has been mentioned before and definitely not a person because you can't use それ to refer to a human ever. But it is also not the officical title. That line is nowhere to be found on the the cover, spine or the back. It is only on the obi. Though it is clearly meant to be the complement to the actual title.

>>8555709
>What is used for robots btw? いる or ある?
No one really knows. I would use Aru because things like androids look human but they aren't living things, they are just another object \.

>>8556778
From my understanding いる can be used on any animated objects, not necessarily just living things. A tree is technically a living thing, but unless it's sprouting, you usually use ある to describe its place.

>>8556685
Does it work if you use a JP IS save for US EP? I played the JP IS version with an unnoficial translation.

>>8556848
That won't work since game saves only work with the catalog numbers they were given. A SCPS game save wont work with a SLPS save, etc etc

>>8556848
What >>8556852 said. IS is pretty damn easy anyway, so I won’t imagine your level for Tatsuya was all that high. When he joins in EP he’s about 10 levels higher than you are at the moment (think of how Jun joins the cast with a significant head start). You shouldn’t be too worried and he joins with Apollo so he’ll act as the heavy puncher in the group until everyone catches up. EP is pretty damn fucking hard too so his appearance is a bit of a blessing

>>8556852
Thanks. Maybe that's a goo thing since I don't want to breeze through the game. IS was too easy besides the final boss.

>>8556893
EP solves that issue. You’ll be doing a hell of a lot of grinding. In comparison to IS, I visited the velvet room a grand total of maybe three times in that game whereas in EP I was trekking there after nearly every dungeon just to get a fighting chance

>>8556890
>think of how Jun joins the cast with a significant head start
Jun was 1 level lower than the rest of the party for me. I think Jun transfers Yukki's stats.

>>8556890
How much harder? As I said in >>8556893
IS was too easy. If I used the IS file I would've been the same level as I was in IS (67)?

>>8556906
I played PSP IS and he was about 5 or so levels ahead of me at the time. The game wasn’t too hard so I was getting through I beat the game at around level 52. EP is a bit of a jarring shift in terms of difficulty. I’d argue it’s the hardest of all the Persona games mainly because the ultimate personas aren’t very strong, you start off with shit personas (Katsuya in particular has a pathetically weak one), the encounter rate is out of control and you really need to go digging for cards and grinding contracts. Maybe I just suck at video games but one of the bosses took me a good 45 minutes. The dungeons themselves aren’t too bad, you’ll get through with not much hassle if you’re prepared and know good fusion spells but the bosses are a bit better f a heavy kick in the balls. It’s kind of like the mainline MegaTen games where you have to use buffs a lot but since they work differently than the main series and only affect one character at a time, you’re either in for painfully long boss battles, a lot of grinding or doing annoying lengthy side quests to get spell cards to tack onto your persona. A lot of people tend to prefer EP and I can see why given the cast are more mature and the story and character development is excellent but honestly I like it a fair bit less than Innocent Sin, mainly in that the grinding needed at times just flat out isn’t fun, battles take excessively long to complete and a chunk of the game is spent to replaying dungeons from IS like going through the Aerospace Museum, Club Zodiac, the record store and Xibalba AGAIN

>>8556420
This game is a classic. Wish more RPGs were in such unique settings.

>>8555883
Zawa Zawa

The best one I own is Suzuki Explosion.

>>8555553
To me it would be the games that would still be the best games even if they weren't Japan only. Sometimes the games were just not localized because of limited means in other countries.

>>8555892
>half of the cover is legs in pantyhose
We don't get cover kino like this anymore.

>>8555553
Iru is unironically trash. It's literally just you running around triggering flags to progress the story. It has so little substance and the rare gameplay segments it does have doesn't justify its playtime.

Oh I agree with you 100% but the fact of the matter is you're still gay.
