This game needs a fan translation and patch to revert all the shit Working Designs fucked up.

Literally playing this right now. Great game. When you say "difficulty balanced back to how it was designed", are you saying it was more difficult in the JP version or less? What exactly did they change?

As for the dialogue, honestly I think it's mostly fine. Typical cringey WD characters and "dude weed lmao" references, but nothing that breaks the immersion for me. I'd rather have a few pop culture references than a sea of typos, which are very common in translated games of the era. Definitely have to give WD credit for always be on point with the grammar and shipping a polished product.

>what did they change
WD increased the difficulty like usual

>rather have pop culture refs than typos
Personally I'd rather have egregious typos than for large chunks of dialogue to be completely rewritten

I really have no idea what you're on about. There's nothing wrong with the font. I have never even thought about this before you mentioned it. You must be playing on a really tiny screen or a really big HDTV if you're having problems distinguishing these letters, or like >>4189113 said, maybe a pair of glasses. The font is fine. Better than average, in fact.

Agreed, game is too hard for me, needs cultural references I won't understand, and a sans serif font.

Yes, look up the "Un-Worked Designs" thread in the romhacking.net forums. This game already has a patch.

Is it also true that the EU version got its own none WD english translation?

Also, for anyone asking the exact changes made to the difficulty are on tcrf.

All they did was change the damage enemies did (mainly bosses) to make them do more, and change the amount of hits enemies take too kill (mainly bosses) to make them take less. It's still quite easy unless you didn't find very many life stocks.

Shh, don't trigger the weebs. The people that actually understand japanese play the games that way. They don't sit around bitching the english version is shit because they have the option not to play it. It's only the basement dwellers who "don't have time to learn japanese" who ever make a peep.

A bit off topic but does anyone know what the fuck the "drop of life" does? I've found 2 of these things in the span of 60 hours of gametime, both early in the game, and you find them from cutting grass. When you find one, it plays the same music that plays when you find a life vessel or new item. Really bizarre.

>> No.4190495

>>4190019
Well, you're fucking retarded then. Nothing removes you from the experience more than seeing an obvious typo and thinking "Oh look, somebody at the office fucked up". That is way more damaging to the experience than a character being given a personality that you personally dislike. If you want the original shitty boring jap dialogue, play the jap version. Saying you would prefer typos over a weed reference is the height of autism.

I'd be interested to know as well. I've only seen one across 3 playthroughs. I think it fills your HP? I'm not really sure. Why does something like that even exist?
