There's a scene where a girl gets cat called by a bunch of old pervs and she told them off.
I'm sure that's the reason the little incels are mad.
Yeah, a lot of the "woke" talking points is that supposedly the localization changed a lot of the dialogue, this being one of those things where it wasn't present in the original Japanese dialogue.
I mean, Japanese is a hard language to translate into English; a lot of concepts are lost in translation, as it were. Makes sense that localizers would take liberties with the script where neccessary for an English-speaking audience.Honestly localizations are better now than they were in the NES and SNES days. Also you can't directly translate from Japanese to English. I mean you can but it doesn't flow naturally.
I don't feel like the scores are a fair show of the game, because it seems to be based around the horrible switch port but all switch port are garbage because the switch can't handle new games.Generally, yeah. Unicorn Overlord does well on the Switch though.
A review is just telling us their opinion. There is nothing different from a review today and one twenty years ago.There is a gigantic difference between a review today and one from twenty years ago......the obvious being there is a higher chance of someone with a lot of experience playing those type of games during their original release periods in the 90s and thus will review the games accordingly to the standards of the time (ex., saving everywhere wasn't common, so something like this would never be a complain and thus will never be in consideration for docking the score of a rpg).

That's not a given. There's a reason many mechanics were left in the past. Things like saving made more accessible. Just because somebody has played games since then doesn't mean they won't dock a new game for lacking certain newer QoL features.

Just because somebody has played games since then doesn't mean they won't dock a new game for lacking certain newer QoL features.Maybe so, but for a game like this one where it is blatantly obvious what the main target is going to be about not a huge lot of us is actually going to care about not being to save anywhere and is going to be at the bottom of the priority list. Is the battle system good, is the story good, is the characters good, is the base building and war minigames good, is the duels good, and is the music good.....this is what people like me (well more like my brother and friend. I'm a backer so I'm invested in this no matter what) who is coming into this game expecting a suikoden-like is going to want to know from a reviewer, and hopefully this reviewer was a fan of these rpgs in that time period so they can mainly talk about these first. A lot of these reviews aren't even talking about a lot of things like this.
Generally, yeah. Unicorn Overlord does well on the Switch though.
The main point that is also killing the game is the large cast of characters. I have seen people admit they were too overwhelmed by the cast of playable and recruitable characters and think it is killing the game.
This is partly why Suikoden died out.
I get no game on the switch if it is on any other console for this very reason.This. I am continually baffled that anyone would voluntarily buy third party games for Switch.
This. I am continually baffled that anyone would voluntarily buy third party games for Switch.I understand that portability is very appealing since it works for those that is away on the job alot but can get some game time in between breaks, commutes, flights and whatnot (this is exactly why my bro has a lot of his rpgs on the switch and also is seriously considering a steam deck after I showed him mine. Get that game time in while you can, lol), but its definitely at that point that something like a steam deck or those other gaming portables like they asus one should be considered for a better experience.

Actually I don't know why someone would stress about the amount of characters eiyuden in particular has. ApparentlyI accidentally read that and I'm mot even madnot a single hero is missable aside a certain one that is supposedly blatantly obvious at the end of the game.
*Nothing too serious behind that spoiler bar, just talking about if you can miss any heroes or not. Didn't name anyone.....not that I could since I don't know the name myself.*
I've seen that complaint for Chrono Cross, but also all the characters you recruit are forgetable and not an interesting

guess the switch version is trying to emulate everything about the ps1 days
Chud is in this game? No wonder the translation is hated by certain circlesThe translation IS apparently bad. Nothing really political in it, other than using modern slang like chud, but Ive seen examples where the Japanese audio is basically just Hmmm and they turned it into a 20 word sentence.
No worse then a game making random pop culture references in the English version where none existed in the original.
Translations being bad is sadly a fact of life. While I wish we were past that and do believe in general today's translations are much better then they were twenty years ago of course bad ones still happen. Just they should be criticized for the right reasons. Plus now we live in the era where translations can be made better with patches. Though I don't think that's too common.What Ive seen, its like they ran the Japanese script through ChatGPT or Google Translate or something.
What Ive seen, its like they ran the Japanese script through ChatGPT or Google Translate or something.Yuck. Again it's nothing I can't handle. I have been playing games since the early nineties.
Sadly, if its fixed, patches wont fix the English dub, so I doubt theyll patch it as it would create a is match between a good translation and voice recording of a bad translation.
Yuck. Again it's nothing I can't handle. I have been playing games since the early nineties.Yeah. I doubt its Breath of Fire 2 bad.

Its not so much the FPS that people are annoyed with when it comes to the switch version, but the load times. God damn those loads would annoy the shit out of me very, very quickly.

On the switch it has lengthy loads for the random encounters and story cutscene transitions, and since that is the things people would be seeing the most throughout the game I can imagine its going to aggravate many people.
Yeah. I doubt its Breath of Fire 2 bad.
it should be better than 30 year old gamesNo, I was commenting on the translation supposedly being bad, and saying I doubt it even comes close to how bad the Breath of Fire 2 translation was.
I wouldn't play a current game that had FF9's battle-screen load times either
No, I was commenting on the translation supposedly being bad, and saying U doubt it even comes close to how bad the Breath of Fire 2 translation was.
Ill be playing it on PC instead of crippled mobile hardware that was outdated when it came out, so Im not at all concerned about load times.
oh yeah sorry, I didn't go up enough postsYeah. There is probably a mod / Romhack for that though. I know 6 has a bunch of them, like the Ted Woolsey Uncensored patch, SkyRenders fan translation, probably others Im forgetting.
I'm playing the FF7 remaster on Steam right now and still noticing typos in that, lol
