ok now that i've loved on all the good bits of reverse 1999 (and there's plenty of good) i gotta touch on the elephant in the room too

the english tl is... iffy at best, but to put it plainly it's not good

i would say the story is largely readable, though there were a few parts i genuinely couldn't parse. main issues are in grammar (particularly tenses) and flow, the writing just doesn't sound organic

but it isn't every line that's a problem, some are fine and some are genuinely good. and the overall story/setting are pretty good (well, decent enough) for a gacha so really the english text just needs a polish

like... a major polish, but i really hope it gets it because the battle system and character art are pretty appealing and i'd hate to see this one tanked by its translation

#crab plays #reverse 1999 #there are a lot of little issues that are just distracting and detract from the overall quality of the game #makes it look a lot less professional #but i think for me the most egregious part was druvis iii's introduction #like it was a good scene! pretty and dramatic #but when her shoe fell and hit vertin in the head #in english she says ''no offense''#like that's the first thing she says lmao #the jp dub had it as shitsurei which fits just fine imo #don't know what it is in cn sadly unable to get a cn version here :(#but i feel like in english that should've been ''pardon me'' or something #instead it was just ''no offense'' like a;sdkfj;kdfj #ANYWAY this wouldn't be the first gacha to be criticized for its shoddy en tl #hopefully it can make improvements going forward and not lose out on a wider player base
