/vr/ - Retro Games

>>8908831
Yes, she is absolutely gorgeous.

translation never ever

Too bad it was never translated. I wonder why Atlus decided to stop after the first game. I suppose it sold very poorly?

>>8908857
My dark queen, I kneel.

>>8909908
>tfw learned russian instead of japanese
I'm retarded

>>8909908
There's a full localization on gamefaqs that almost matches up to the Atlus writing style of the original. The game is sorta OK and 4chan hates jrpgs.

>>8908831
Fuuug

>>8909923
So go insert it or whatever you nerds do I'm not reading a fucking txt file to play a game

>>8908831
fat legs

>>8909953
It's a high test RPG

>>8909962
Very nice. I enjoy.

>>8909962
>>8910017
fatty

translation never ever

>>8908831
imagine the smell

>>8908831
Why not play the first game, isn’t that the same graphics?

>>8910018
OK my gay go back to drooling at little boys

>>8910035
no it looks BETTER plus Kururu is cuter than Cornet

>>8908831
It looks very cute and fun.

this thread is extremely creepy

>>8908831
pedo

>>8910051
Old Hag

>>8909953
You're damn right, they're fat.

>>8908831
pedo trash for pedo fags who won't even play it if it was translated and will stick to jerking off to the art covers

>>8908831
>>8910105
god i wanna lick her whole body

>>8910157

universal appeal indeed

>>8910157
I started playing the first game, that is translated in Japanese just to spite you.

>>8910105
It's like R. Crumb made into magical anime girls

>>8910105
Impressive how NIS went from thicc legs to vastly inferior stick people after La Pucelle.

>>8910416
At least the artist still draws for themself

>>8910105

>>8908831
Is this part of the La Pucelle and Rhapsody series?

>>8910025
>everyone, EVERYONE gets a happy (or at least good) ending in the series
>except Cherie, she must suffer for her entire life
I keep forgetting that NIS was the company that wrote stuff like evil route in Soul Nomad, entirety of Witch and the Hundred Knight 1 and entirety of Labyrinth of Refrain

>>8911337
It's the sequel to Rhapsody.

>>8909908
Stop being lazy and learn Japanese. It's not hard for any NEET since you have literally eons of free time.

>>8908831
Watching art for retro games as well as ads or vidya magazine scans gives me a frantic urge of recapture the magic of 90s media, but as soon as I play a retro game or watch an old cartoon, most of the time I get bored

>>8911339
The reason why dark route in Soul Nomad hits so hard is because of the contrast with the happy anime route.

>>8910272
Wrong perspective. You're supposed to be able to see more under her skirt from that angle.

I need to learn Japanese already. I wish I had started when I was in high school. I had a lot more free time back then.

>>8911564
imagine spending like a thousand hours learning a language to a child's level and then having to regularly reinforce it every single day for the rest of your life to stop you forgetting it, just to read some text in vidya.

>>8912663
Imagine learning it and then immersing yourself among native language speakers and then maybe moving to Japan or at least getting a paid gig translating Japanese while the retard I'm replying to continues to sit on their hands.

>>8912671
>maybe moving to Japan
why the fuck would I wanna do that

>>8912663
Imagine pressing buttons to manipulate pixels on a screen.

>>8908831
uooooooh an all-ages game
brb gonna learn japanese to better understand the meaning of this drawing

>>8912671
>Natives hate you
>Move to Japan and realize it's already flooded with immigrants
>Translation jobs are few and far between and most thing are being replaced by machine translation with someone just checking the final result
>Have to do desperate shit to keep a Visa
Yeah... have fun with that, lmao.

>>8912690
pretty much necessary in the 21st century
imagine comparing that with weebanese lol

>videogame good
>learn skill bad

>>8912671
Any type of meme language benefits you in life, whether it's monetarily or giving you access to networking opportunities. I told my employer (logistics) I spoke fluent Thai and Lao and they increased my salary by 35%.
What's funny is all I know is basic dinner conversational like pass the rice/veggies with my wife who is Lao. Thai and Lao are the same fuckin language too they didn't even bother to check lmao

>>8912713
Aahaha, that fucking rules. Nice.
>>8912715
Might be true, but I want to at least try the former for a couple of years. If I can say that I got anything positive out of the pandemic, it was the sudden realization that I could no longer leave the US even if I wanted to.
>>8912702
I probably will! Thanks.

>>8911564
>>8912671
>>8912686

I have no ability to to learn on my own. I wouldnt even know where to start. all the japanese stuff ive found is just very tedious and unfun which is the opposite to my experience of learning language. I literally learned RUssian because japanese wasnt offered and just having an instructor and classroom made it so much better. but with japanese it seems like you spend months grinding before you can even vaguely try to apply anything which is just awful to me.

>>8912725
I'm going to college to learn Japanese. Strangely enough, the southern US has a lot of colleges that offer some of the best Japanese programs in the entire country. I don't think you should beat yourself up for not being able to learn a foreign language with an entirely foreign writing system all on your own, anon.
That being said, check this out if you haven't already: https://itazuraneko.neocities.org/index.html
Find a manga or light novel that you really want to read and try to read every single page that you come across with complete understanding. Playing games to learn the language, especially retro games that might not use writing systems that reflect the real way the language is written (I'm talking about 8-bit and some 16-bit games here) is not the way to go.
Do your best and try to find a program that can teach you Japanese if that truly is something that you're passionate about. If you're posting here right now, chances are that you have the time and wherewithal to make it happen.

>>8912719
Japanese work culture is draconian, getting a Visa is an impossible process and there are no jobs. However anyone can sub youtube videos as a hobby.

>>8912735
I realize this probably sounds incredibly foolhardy, but I welcome the challenge. I've been through so much horseshit in the US already. You really wouldn't believe it.
A hostile working environment and a culture that demands unreasonable levels of assimilation would pale in comparison to what I've been through in life so far. I would like to think that I know what I'm getting myself into.
And, worst case scenario, if I can't hack it over there after five years, I can move back home. I have a very supportive family and some very solid friends in the USA already. I think I can do it.

>>8912745
You have to give up US citizenship to get a permanent Japanese Visa which is why most stay there temporarily as expatriates. They have no reason to employ an immigrant as there are NO JOBS.

On the other hand the vn translation wiki is in dire need of any help.

>>8912749
Nevermind, tl wiki is dead

>>8912749
That's not even remotely true?
But even if it was, I would do that gladly.

>>8912774
Japan only hands out dual citizenship to natives born there. And it's true the country has de-industrialized your best bet as immigrant is working at a tech company until the bubble bursts.

>>8912798
And if you work customer service you need flawless Japanese.

>>8912798
so what do non tech workers do there then? i hate techry4ut

>>8912817
I'm saying that until the 90s you had a shot working assembly lines, heavy machinery, transporation or construction. Every other job requires fluent Japanese communication skills.

>>8912798
I was setting my sights on employment at a tech company. I'm sure this is no surprise coming from a 4chan poster, but I'm a future STEM degree-holder.
I've done my homework. I promise.
The biggest thing that convinced me to go down this path was my high school inexplicably having a sister school in Ibaraki and seeing someone from my very own podunk town having made it over there. I know I can do it.

>>8912826
You're still coming back to america when the money is gone at which point why not just work remotely?

>>8912825
I'm not being facetious or anything, what do people do right now?

>>8912831
I doubt I will, but if I had to then I could work still work remotely.
The answer is because of the actual, physical life experience.
This is a win-win to me. No sense in not trying.
Plus, I want to translate Segagaga. You fags are getting something out of this either way.

>>8912835
diff guy, everyone is an English teacher or in marketing

Am I the only JSL that doesn't want to be a JET or Eikaiwa?

>>8912732
I wish i could study japanese. I fucked up and studied computers. Now I'm a hopeless neet with no chance at a job and i still dont have any skills im proud of

>>8912848
There's still hope, anon. How old are you?
Also, here's a /vr/ gif so this is still somewhat on topic. Wow lost souls! Wow!

>>8912839
I've already watched a certain vtuber Segagaga playthrough. Most of these untranslated hidden gems are only interesting for 20 minutes.

>>8912850
Its hopeless im

>>8912848
What do you mean by "studied computers"? Are you in IT? You have no excuse for not working. Every IT job sans network engineer can be done remotely

So videogames right?

Why the fuck are JRPGs the most popular retro genre? I do not fucking understand this fucking shit. Why the fuck do normies love this fucking junk. It fucking sucks ass.

>>8912856
I studied computer engineering. And don't pressure me with that crap man, please. Give me a break.

>>8912852
That's nice, but not everyone is the same person as you. I want to translate other games and maybe some future releases as well.
I just want to be a translator and localizer is what I'm getting at here.

>>8912860
Lolwat? The most popular is 3D platformers by a long shot.
If you are asking why JRPGs are popular on an anime website that is because they are similar.

>>8912863
Get a job you bum. Clean your room too

>>8912856
you're wrong here, the market is really oversaturated with tech workers. its become the new business degree in terms of worth.

>>8912853
It's only hopeless once you've completely given up on yourself. And even then, you can renege on haven given up on yourself at any time. Seriously.
You just have to put the work in, anon. I'll pray for your success, for what it's worth.

>>8912860
False, first and third person shooters are most popular. Mahjong, JRPG and Visual Novels are cheap and easy vehicles for showcasing anime character designs.

>>8912869
I don't have the skills to get any job in the field. They all pay like shit, abuse you, and demand way too much. Have to go through a five step interview process where you are constantly grilled and tortured. All for a shitty job that I don't even want.

>>8912876
Lefty thinking

>>8912880
Whatever weirdo. I don't care about your politics

>>8912881
You're a child.

>>8912870
No
>>8912876
>They all pay like shit, abuse you, and demand way too much.
That's every job if you let your employer get away with it. Grow a spine and stand up for yourself you pussy

>NEET tranny janny gets told
>nukes all replies
Loving.Every.Laugh

>>8912860
Dragon Quest was the Gacha of the 90s, cheap to make and sells well on character designs alone.

>>8912906
That's kind of disrespectful. Gacha isnt even a game its just gambling.

>>8912909
Exactly. Mahjong is literally gambling and it's the go to anime game of the 90s. Lots of card games on Japanese arcade as well.

>>8912702
I hate too much contempt for my home country to care even remotely about any of that.

>>8912995
My man.

Also the game in the OP seems really cool.

>>8912995
the natives in my home country already hate me and there are no jobs here either so i dont know why people point stuff like that out
>>8912996
it really does

>>8913001
>I'm a loser in a community of the people most like myself
>I will be a winner in a hard to integrate to society
You can't run from your problems nigger.

>>8912906
>Dragon Quest was the Gacha of the 90s
Do you go on imageboards to say the most stupid shit you can think of?

>>8913015
when did i say id be a winner

>>8913001
If you really wanna make it in another country anon: fix your attitude about your home country.
Take inventory of the good in country before you even consider trying to make it somewhere else. You sound ungrateful for what you have.
To have an ice cube's chance in hell of making it in another country, you need to know without a shadow of a doubt that you can return home and live a happy life if things don't work out. Extend the benefit of the doubt to everyone you meet AND THEN judge them. Not the other way around.
Do your best. Please.

Is it a solid plan to build a net-worth capable of sustaining myself from passive income for at leasts 5 years while being jobless in Japan?
In the meantime I would probably do a combination of art commissions, investing in crypto and learning all the facets needed to become an indie-game developer in the hopes of making it big with a hit.

If not for game development I would love to become a mangaka but I highly doubt I would be successful as a foreigner.

I know it's a kind of a gamble but if I were to succeed with this goal I would essentially be living my dream life.

>>8913037
im not that kind of misanthrope sperg autist type. i just dont really like the way things are done here and think japan does them better.

>>8908831
ToT

>>8913040
That's heartening to hear, really. I'm right there with you.
Let's do our best.

>>8913038
You should grow up. You don't "move to Japan and become a game developer or a mangaka"
I have a passive income of over 20k a year and speak Japanese and I could do what you described for 3 months on a tourist visa. Maybe 6 if I got lucky and they let me extend it. Or at least I could if the border was open. You are setting unrealistic goals to stop yourself from actually considering where you are at right now because it depresses you just thinking about it.

>>8913050
That simply means you've failed because you lacked the capacity to plan ahead. Take your demoralisation tactics somewhere else.

>>8913078
>art commission
>indie developer
Yeah no you have the mentality of a little kid.

>>8913078
I pointed out that there is no visa system that will allow you to do what you want to for more than 3 months. You are welcome to google what you need to do to get an investment visa if you think I am just trying to demoralize you.

Janny sucks nigger cocks

>>8913159
Say it one more time.

>>8908831
If you're a male who considers themselves an enthusiast of "cute" stuff like OP's picrel or Touhou, your brain has the same profile as a pedophile's brain. This isn't even a meme.

>>8908831
Wat is dat? Princess Crown for snoys???

>>8913159
Really does.

>>8913159
I heard they do it for free, too. That's just what I heard.
I could be wrong.

>>8913193
La Pucelle is the game that shares the main character from Princess Crown.

>>8913217
Eclair from La Pucelle is a homage to Galadriel from Princess Crown

>>8913189
Janny sucks black nigger cocks

>>8913038
>>8913145
Yeah this guy is right. Japan doesn't mess around with visa stuff. You would need a job lined up before you go. You need a university degree to even get approved for a visa. If you come on a tourist visa you can convert a tourist visa to a working visa in a fringe case, but you still need the uni degree and job to support your visa application.

I don't think this guy is trying to demoralise you, he just wants you to think about reality.

This is coming from a person who has been living here for five years.

>>8912826
>I was setting my sights on employment at a tech company.
good luck kek ive been applying to mercari and rakuten for like 8 months and have 3 years software dev experience they always say no

>>8913406
fucking hell, reality really sucks sometimes. I wasn't aware of such strict visa prerequisites.
now i'll have to waste 5 years of my life getting a worthless degree and then still find a roundabout way of sustaining myself financially, since japanese companies hardly ever hand out long-term contracts to foreigners.

>>8910207
i'd be surprised if you went for more than 10 minutes before dropping it and going back to watching loli hentai being the virgin fag you are

>>8913705
>I just need to get rich from crypto, learn Japanese, get a degree I don't want for visa purposes and then my real life will start.
I say this for your own good. Grow up.

>>8913705
You didn't do any research at all about what it takes to get a visa in Japan while also dreaming of becoming a mangaka and indie game developer over there?
Is the degree really "worthless" if your entry into that country lives and dies by it? That's what's motivating me to get a degree right now. I know for a fact that I need one to get a decent job and a visa over there.

>>8913705
>fucking hell, reality really sucks sometimes. I wasn't aware of such strict visa prerequisites.
apparently you aren't aware of a lot of things that occur in the real world

>>8913705
How old are you, anon?

Japan's never going to open their borders anyways so what's the point? Id move to japan even without knowing the language if I could. I have the money to support myself

>>8914347
The borders are open for everybody but tourists right now, anon.

>>8912702
If it's already flooded with immigrants, then wouldn't you find yourself in good company, as an immigrant...?

>>8914354
thats wrong, dont be a dick to me man

>>8914347
You can move to Japan rn if you have the money.
Just enroll in a language school and they'll arrange a visa for you.
I'm doing the same, leaving for Japan next week.
No vax needed btw

>>8914919
No he's right. Japan has been open to visa holders since March 1st

>>8914929
Where do you get the money for travel, rent, and shipping all of your shit over? Is it all neetbux or are you a trust fund kiddie?

>>8914952
No I work for a living you basement dwelling dakimakuara humper.
I'm old as fuck so I've had time to set up a lucrative online business.
Thought you said money wasn't an issue for you?
Oh well, back to jacking it to dubbed hentai for you

>>8914958
I'm a random anon who saw your post while scrolling past the thread. I assumed every 4chan weeb is a 17-35 year old neet

>>8914965
Im not really a weeb. Like im not actually into that japanese stuff. It just seems like a nice place.
>>8914952
inheritance kid i guess, because everyone i know has died. and it all added up. so i guess thats a trust fund? but i wasnt actually ever rich.

>>8914970
If you've got the money...
Why not go to Japan.
It is a very comfy place to live, though it will drive you mad in the end

>>8914965
Well at least you don't deny dry humping your dakimakura

>>8914916
People will make any excuse they possibly can as to why it sucks over there, I've noticed.

>>8915096
its cool to have contrarian opinions i guess even if the logic contradicts and you have no actual basis in reality aside from internet stories and racist extremists

>>8912850
Can you teach me Japanese? I don't want to do kanji stuff. I don't need to be literate. I'll use only katakana. I'll be like a cool foriegner badboy type of guy. Bleached tips.

>>8910105

>>8912686
You could marry a cute girl. In fact, only Japanese girls are worth anything among all 3D.

>>8911564
you really did a number on this thread

>>8915509
frankly speaking, japanese women in porn always disappoint me. They always have a disgusting bush, brown nipples, and they squeal like mice for some reason (I assume it's a moe thing).
You get no agreement from me

>>8913191
how can the be true when i hate IRL kids and want nothing to do with them

Imagine hating cute things.

>>8912713
LOL lucky

I have heard from a reputable source that the janitor enjoys performing fellatio on African Americans

>>8913971
Now THIS is interesting

>>8915726

>>8916418

>>8915726
Round faces look cuter. I stalk a ton of Japanese hikkimori women and they all use a ton of instagram filter to the point they start looking like the ayy lmao alien. Their natural face isn't bad looking at all. I don't get why asians do this and suspect it's some kind of identity escapism.

>>8915726
dude there's no way the first two aren't photoshop
that's like a mii face wtf
the third i can see being real that doesn't change much

>>8916825
>I stalk a ton of Japanese hikkimori women
I know you want to tell me more about this, go on.

>>8915509
>only Japanese girls are worth anything among all 3D.
I've found usually anyone who says this has the worst taste in women.

Wow, mods actually put this thread on autosage. Fuck you!

>>8917286
if you look at 90% of the posts it's not hard to see why

>>8917286
We aren't even talking about the cunny game.

>>8917312
Just ban the off-topic posters, then.

Interesting thread. Anyway learn jap and quit making excuses like most of this thread.

>>8909918
If you're into /lit/ then you you made the right choice.
