Zyxyz0 08/16/19 5:20:08 PM #46:	The "improved" hangman woes are actually another casualty of DR2's rushed localization, apparently. From the guy that did the original DR1/2 LPs: I thought DR2 Hangman was actually more fun than the original's in small doses, and that's what you get in Japanese. It's almost always short words -- the character count tops at 9, but most words are still kept at 3-5 characters. The word choice is precise - always very clear and there are never repeated characters (one exception to this in chapter 6, though I assume this one is exactly the same in English). In English? The two words in chapter 1, both 4 characters in Japanese are 13 and 10 in English. The game isn't designed for long words, but the translation team completely failed in considering the game's design and opted for the laziest translation of the terms used. I'm not saying HG is a good minigame -- it isn't by any means. But it's not as bad as English DR2 is making it seem. --- Archive of my and others' playthrough/ranking topics, fanfiction recs, etc: http://zyxyzarchive.x10host.com/ <cite>Zyxyz0 posted [p:926156891] in Zelda play...
