  1. What torrents are is illegal. [in reference to VN]

    Every time I see this, I immediately think "thats wrong!" while side referencing any other TL work like manga and novels before I quickly realize that it isn't because we can buy the games and get the patches for free, where you actually can't do anything about manga or novels.  Basically the patch is the translated version and is liable to takedown claims at copyright holder's request.

     

    As a side note, I don't know of any other place that aggregates current translation progress so neatly, so I'm sticking around.  Like I said to my friend: "Fuwa is 'dead'.  They are basically bleaching out most of the non-registered users and replacing them"

  2. Well, it's not like we have an entire thread dedicated to learning Japanese or anything.

    I was giving you my testimony on how I'm able to learn without being in Japan, you're free to consider me a liar I guess, but I've been learning grammar with both a textbook and a mentor to help me and i've been practicing my vocabulary using hooking tools.

    So yes, you can learn Japanese without going to Japan.

     

    I've also never left my country and I learned English just fine. Japanese is no different.

     

    All it comes down to is patience, motivation and having the right tools.

    Oh wow... So uhhh, does that mean your first language was Portugese?  Uhhh if you didn't say anything I wouldn't have even checked your nationality...  I feel more impressed that you are actually so fluent in english that it didn't even cross my mind. It may sound patronizing, but congrats o.O

     

    And yes, I fully concur, you can learn a language fluently without going to the country, however it does require far more effort because you need good natural resources to practice with besides just textbooks.  Classical language and vernacular are completely different.  I can generally pick out someone who classically learned english but doesn't use the vernacular making them stand out.  It's like being overly polite when casually talking.

     

    On a tangent: I need someone to teach me ebonics because it makes no sense.

  3. Do they?Actually they never say it, I think they named her maou :makina:

    They don't explicitly say it outright, but instead the situation and text references earlier text in the story where they do.  It's really cleverly done and heart warming.  It helps make the pain subside and give the final conclusion to the story.

  4. The VNR itself is just a bridge between translation tool and VN. If you want to know how "reliable" it is, just try translate some stuffs, using Google or Bing. VNR does improve the translation quality for a bit, but not much. Still broken English, and you will need quite some patience to get through a VN with it.

  5. I just finished G-senjou no Maou.  Thought I was doing pretty good...  and then the epilogue crushed me.  Fuck.

    This ending might have been one of the only times where i actually had the feels from any game.  It's just too good.  Also, if you paid attention to the story,

    they actually give the daughter's name 

    :heart: 

  6. There doesnt need to be that technology, in my opinion if the MC is already unvoiced the flow of the voice is still interupted so ommiting the name voice should not be that jarring. Besides VNs are already pretty unrealistic so i dont see how that should be a concern. And leaving the default name voiced should make everyone happy (like in Canvas 2).

     

    Believe me it WAS intended, my opinion its not really popular here in fuwanovel. 

    Clephas imcomming.

     

    I'd argue that you're wrong (but that's your opinion) in that breaking the flow by leaving a blank is comparable to leaving out a word.  When a character speaks, they speak in complete sentences, which is then ended in a complete fashion.  Having them go cold in the middle of that flow is far more jarring then having a complete thought ended.  But again that's just ____'s opinion.  

    The second thing is that which I would call objectively wrong, is the fact that just because the VN's are unrealistic doesn't make it okay for the writing to be.  If the writing doesn't match the setting, you have a broken narrative.  Imagine a wedding scene for example, using the second person pronoun to address the main character when they are getting married would be absolutely ridiculous.  You can only skirt around not having a name so much.  

    I've never played Canvas 2 so I won't comment on that subject.

     

    Unless that's the point and the MC is an AI who always talks that way ˙ ͜ʟ˙

    It wouldn't be the MC, but rather every other character XD

     

    Here's another opinion:

    I think that animation of anything other than moving static sprites looks awful.  I can't explain to you how many times I cringed while watching the background of SakuSaku's student council room door open and close with the characters moving with it.  I much rather prefer the way Ell moved in My Girlfriend is the President.

  7. All MCs should be nameable.

    Too bad this is impossible with modern technology.  Having any character attempt to voice the name would completely break any sentence flow due to it having to be procedurally generated for that specific situation.  This would only ever work if all the other characters used the pronoun which would be highly unrealistic, or if the game was invocal which would also probably be incredibly unpopular.  Congratz on your probably unintended implied unpopular opinion!

  8. Welp.

    Sorry.. I only specialize in feels~ 

    Angel beats is a really hit or miss soundtrack in total for me. Half of it was irritating, while the other half sounded like actual music.  These are the tracks I pulled from the two disk set:

    Disk 1: 1 2 5 7 8 15 17 20 22 24 25 26 27

    Disk 2: 2 3 4 5 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 16 17 18 19 20

     

    My favorite Anime OST's (the entire things) come down to:

    Darker Than Black

    Kamisama no Inai Nichibyou (A Sunday Without God)  <----- If I ever do any kind of fantasy rpg, I swear I could parse this for everything

    The ENTIRE Madoka Magika OST (Screw me, this is the first show where I felt the music was beautifully additional instead of being actual background noise)

    Kyoukai no Kanata

     

    As a side note, I will generally pick up any Kajiura Yuki albums, because damn do I get off on her spin of classical music.

  9. I don't know, just basing it off the pictures (which is a horrible idea btw, but that's all you've given us) I'd get the first one.  The second one looks like it's color had been bleached and for some reason feels more edgy (read sharper with with no smoothness).  Also the second one uses those really annoying subs and have seemed to paste over the show.  I'm in the field of less added, the better.

     

    On the other hand, if what Nosebleed said is true, and you pulled from a lot of different sub groups and the encoding is all different with number 1, go with number 2.  Inconsistencies in that area can be really bothering even if you don't actively notice them.  Plus with different subbing groups, they will translate things differently which can be annoying.

     

    Me? I would probably try to find the batch release of the first screenshots's sub group and see if it's consistent, and if so, take that one.

  10. Basically torrents go Bye Bye, and in their place Fuwa will either link the or host the patch for the game instead.  Because it might be a hurdle for people who have never patched before, they will also be giving greater support to helping people with patching the games with probably a guide on how to do so on the patch page with a link to the forums when necessary.

     

    For the most part, NO GAMES WILL BE LINKED.

     

    I should also note that this is probably the wrong place to put this thread, but I can't offer any suggestion for where otherwise.

  11. False, I've had none of the bases.  Women at my age are just a waste! Why would I spend money and time on them with no payout when I can play games with that money and time for enjoyment instead!

     

    Next person sleeps on the second floor of a house.

  12. False, I don't dream, and when I do, I get something like 

    I just woke up from a dream where the world was besieged by aliens in disguise. The only way to fight them was by raising your slayer skill (a la runescape which I haven't played in over a year). The last thing I remember is shooting a supersoaker at a rabbit that was transformed into a bread roll.

    In my backyard.

    or 

    I just had a dream about fighting in a play during a part called "Ballad of the intermediate in the intermediary of the final symphony". It was a boss fight where I had to fight an enormous ant with corrosive saliva with only a shield.
