[Anonymous No.5123804]

Yep. This fucking patch has been 'in the works' so long he felt he had to justify it with a "muh life" write-up rather than just dropping the fucking thing and moving on.

I don't know the level of 'harassment' he got, maybe some of it was legit and uncalled for, but from everything I've read over the years he's a douchebag who works the romhacking mods like puppets, 'claims' games so nobody else can work on them and just generally victimizes himself and whines all the time.

The larger script translation is done and you can find a copy over in the pastebin in /smtg/ but the script that it was translated from (before the game itself was ever hacked) only contained plot-relevant text transcribed over on a Japanese fansite.

It wasn't 'till much later a programmer got on board and VWF was implemented in the PSP image, and the formatting of the text in there is totally different. It's the natural problem with a translator and programmer who don't work together from the start of a project.

To be fair I would say it depends on the context. Here on 4chan for example words like faggot and nigger are just used because they're controversal and thus funny. They don't carry any real meaning beside being funny. In a social setting though or when discussing politics it then takes a serious meaning. Some people just can't separate the two usages. I say nigger and faggot all the time here, that doesn't mean I would use them in real life or that I hate gays or blacls but I guess some people just don't have thick enough skin to get that.

Nah dude, when you get a little older you will realize that ironic edginess loses its luster.

Eventually you realize that nobody is impressed with ironic bigotry, and its all kind of the same low-effort shit that makes it as easy to emulate and ultimately as boring as a bunch of 12 year olds gushing about how funny and random they are.

SMT IF snes is worst version. it's the initial version. and missing:
- a chapter because of size limitations (phone exclusive)
- quality of life improvements (ps1)

it's the proto persona.
if you expect normie persona 3/beyond it will disappoint you.
if you expect persona 1/2, it's a shittier version.

it's unbalanced af. for example the dungeon with lots of treasures makes the boss harder the more you collect, and it can become unbeatable.
a lot of its content is locked behind replays and alternate playthroughs without the dungeon variety to make that interesting.

Konami never bothered with the series besides an early SNES game (to pad the launch period software library?) and 2 Gameboy games (TWO with the same name to show how much they gave a fuck), even the PS2 one was to be handled by Wrecking Designs, not them.

All of the jp-only snes goemon stuff was almost designed around the Nintendo of Burger ban list to set as much red alarms as possible. But they did rip bits and pieces of its stages, assets and engine to use in US-exclusive cartoon games on SNES.

He said he's withholding a finished patch on purpose because "the SMT community needs to sort out its problems", in response to randoms asking about it on twitter, coming off 15 years of "claiming" that game and romhacking forums policing and honoring that territory piss mark.
To rub salt on the wound he released 5 translations in the same day for the Great Battle series not to long after and clarified in the announcements it was actually out of spite and went all "friendship ended with SMT fanbase, now SRW fanbase is best friend"
And then he said the SMT fanbase as a whole and their momma suck dicks, and only Persona kiddos would want to play a game as shitty as SMT:if

Maybe he expected the collective hivemind of the SMT fanbase to hold social media trials for "bad apples" (how do you even enforce that) and forums to mass-ban everyone who ever complained about no SMT:if in english, just so that he ...'considers' working on it again.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

That spectacular over-the-top reaction caused intense discussion mainly mocking it and coordinating new projects. Even the baddesthacks losers had one on track. There's one more for the superior PS1 version, and another new team assembled with people who had actual translated MegaTen games done to do this one.

I started SMT1 today, I entered the building in the starting area with the ID card and defeated the boos, now I find myself in another part of the city
there is a zone underground with one messiah shrie at one and an one gaia shrine at the other, there is a disco and some empty rooms but Im cant really find the summoning guy, thats a bit annoying since I amassed some minions.

I might have to backtrack to the mansion in the starting area

Translations of translations are never good, and the translation part is never the part that holds game translations up. What you're saying is akin to saying you have a video camera, so you just need a script, actors, a director, budget and a set and you can make a Hollywood blockbuster.

It definitely scratched my old-school SMT dungeon crawling itch, especially since SMT 2 didn't quite do it for me, but in the end it's a pretty barebones game. All the cool occult stuff only happens in the beggining and end of the game, everything in between is just nondescript dungeon crawling, with the Persona games Atlus really did a much better job at keeping up the atmosphere throughout the whole game.

Somewhat hard, you just need to learn resource management and accept that the random number god hates you. For instance, stomping around with a full party will deplete your magnetite which is needed to summon and maintain demons.

Later SMT games do away with magnetite, but have obscene macca (money) costs for demon management.

Eeeeeeeeeeh, I mean maybe the Japanese version. The English PS1 version is gutted to hell and had all manner of localization made to it to appeal to western audiences. And while I confess to being rather fond of Black Mark compared to his Clownish Japanese counterpart the huge chunks of missing content are just too big an issue to over look. Entire quest lines and endings are missing. So Id probably suggest PSP with the music patch. It aint perfect but it's the most complete.

This dude makes it seem like people have unrealistic expectations for how fast he works when in reality all people asked was for him to not take 10+ fucking years to finish a project. Seriously, the fan translation scene's "don't claim projects someone is already working on" rule is both a blessing and a curse. A blessing because it avoids unnecessary drama but also a curse because it enables people like Gideon to actively discourage other people from picking shit he's claimed a decade ago.

It makes sense in theory, since translating a game as big as this is a lot of work, and if two groups are working on it at the same time, the work is kinda wasted for the group that doesn't release first.
The problem is that it's turned into faggot groups "claiming" games and then not working on them.

that sort of moderation isn't really necessary though. if a bunch of retards want to work on a game that's already been claimed with quite a bit of work put into it, then more power to them.

It's literally impossible for someone with a brain to screw up that bossfight.

[Anonymous No.5132101]

>>5131481
It's the same with any type of online project. I've seen similar drama on Github. A lot of it is just ego-based. It's hard work that only certain "personality types" can stomach and give away for free, and then when you're done, people go on and play "your game" without giving you any type of real feedback or recognition. Especially with bigger groups, I think a lot of the drive isn't really to share the love of the game around, and more to get it done and you expect your dick to be sucked the whole time. AGTP is probably the pinnacle of this as they pick up what seems to be any and everything and leave their projects on hold for years all the while expecting to build up a rapport with the game's existing fanbase.

It's funny, the few translation groups I know of that move quickly and drama-free are mostly ones that work on otome games.
