You've mentioned disliking bad translations no matter whetter official or fan-made, and gave the example of Mink in the DMMD fanpatch. Can you elaborate? Did he get the Madarame treatment?

Yes, that's true. And it doesn't even have to be bad in terms of adding too many cuss words or country-specific slang or changing POV or anything else. All in all, the DMMD fan patch did follow the original narration viewpoint (since it's always been in first person) both in the first game and in the sequel. And yes, there are some slang and cursing in those too (like referring to Clear's pockets as Mary Poppins) but it's still kept to a manageable level that while I noticed it, it never truly bothered me.

Though back when Tumblr was still big, as I got into DMMD, it came to my attention as I checked tags and posts of other DMMD fans that the fanmade patch - which I am grateful to one way or another for getting me into the VN - really and I mean really had it out for Mink.

One thing is definitely certain, Mink's route in the first game is definitely not the easiest to swallow (like Madarame's) and his ending in the fandisc sequel does address the why behind that. Whether fans like or dislike him at the end of that is for them to decide.

But the fan patch team loathed Mink enough that they considered leaving him out of the translations entirely. When they eventually decided to include him, they basically had him talk very rudely (when he is to the point and forthright, but there's a difference between that and him spewing harsh and condescending insults), alter the narration (which again, is from Aoba's POV) to make the whole story sound like a classic case of Stockholm Syndrome (which let me stress, is nothing of the sort and is already its own can of worms) - both of which they ramped up to eleven in the sequel, where the two are meant to clear the air between them and find closure about what happened and then truly get together afterwards - all so that the fans can view him with the same disdain that they have of him.

It all boils down to "I see the plot/characters this way, and I will let that view affect how I word the text so that I can influence the readers/players to think similarly of it". Which what the fan patch team did with Mink, and in a way, also what the localization did with Slow Damage, since now Towa gets characterized as what others have called an "edgy gooner" when that's missing the point of his story entirely (which is also part of the overarching plot). While that could still have happened even with a good translation that was released from the beginning, since fandoms like to reduce characters to a meme/joke, for better or worse.

Back to Mink, there are a few other posts here on Tumblr (I doubt it is all of them) that point out how his route was tampered with on purpose, and I'll just share those links here for your reference: Link 1 | Link 2 | Link 3. Someone even attempted to retranslate Mink's route in the first game (alas, it never got completed, but it does manage to cover at least half of his route).

Needless to say, it got bad enough that many have suggested reading the alternate fan translation of the sequel (which was made before the fan patch came out) instead, since it isn't prejudiced against Mink. Now I do wish to make it clear here that the point about what happened with Mink's route isn't about having the characters like/dislike Mink, but about the importance of not letting one's bias affect the text, something that can be ignored in both fanmade and official translations.

Ah, I almost forgot, but yeah. In a way, Madarame got a similar treatment. Madarame talks bluntly and casually as well, but the Japanese text doesn't have him cuss every sentence or every other sentence. And whatever crudeness is in the text in other routes, it definitely is a lot more magnified in Madarame's route. And all even that aside, there's also one context that was notably changed in the very opening his route.

Like in that last sentence. From the original, you'd think that he's denying that he's acting for the sake of revenge and dismisses that as pathetic. Though the patched version implies that he does seem intent on revenge (even if he doesn't say it to Towa or denies it to Toono's face when Toono asks if that's what he's been doing) and that it isn't pathetic to do. Of course, this is just one example. And it doesn't change that even with a professional translation, Madarame's route is still also the bleakest and the one that's most tough-as-nails, but context always matters.

If anything, a good way of showing how the patch and the localization differ would be to record both versions from beginning to end and play them side by side.

[toskarin]

seeing complaints that elin removed the dwarf race, which is silly because they didn't and it's literally still there

the race translated as dwarf in the english fanpatch was called 丘の民 in the original text. it's just officially translated as hillfolk now. that's all

[pesterquestrewritten]

Sorry if this isnt the right place to ask, i dont think the creator of the game is still on tumblr. Do you know how to download alternian turnabout on a mac with the newest update? when i try to play it it says that the creator needs to update it to make it compatible. (i dont know that much tech stuff sorry)

SORRY FOR THE DELAYED RESPONSE. been a hell of a week.

i actually did make my own update of the game to work on newer systems, using the state of the art Ren'Py 8.2! i... don't know if i should be distributing it at scale, since i dont have @8headeddragon's permission. but for now

ALTERNIAN TURNABOUT: VERSION 1.2 (fanpatch)

windows

mac

linux

pc (generic build)

web build (for whatever reason)

-

if the op of the game wants me to take these down i will! but for now i think it deserves preservation. and if you can't play the game, check out some of its music! like this almost entirely lost pre-undertale megalovania cover.

[mallardducksaysquack]

My therapist told me to stay away from ✨uwu🎀kawaii✨ stuff because apparently hardcore escapism messes with my head too much, but I need SOMETHING to distract myself with, so I guess I’ll… apply the fanpatch and go romance this old man again instead? Is that okay???

[switch]

all jokes aside how likely do we actually think it is that the r18 scenes get fanpatched back in to fsn remastered. everyone’s hooting and hollering about fsn on steam which is fair but like i am not reading realta nua heaven’s feel you guys. and the fact that that’s our only official option is ridiculous. everyone’s just gonna read the defanged less thematically coherent version of heaven’s feel and assume that’s the definitive version because lol funny meme sex scenes bad because everyone on the internet says so (and also the credit card companies.)

[cyberdragoninfinity]

This is the second time I've heard about a fan translation of a yugioh game being full of slurs for some reason and I don't know how to feel about that

I remember one time trying to play the fan translation of Yugioh Saikyo Card Battle and, probably less than an hour into the game, they introduce this character who every other character was INCAPABLE of talking about without going "Wait I have a homophobic slur to say"

YEAH iirc there was ANOTHER tag force game english patch that had characters saying slurs too. I know I've see Yami Bakura doing it in some other fanpatched game too. yugioh fan translations are such a like...simultaneously such labors of love but occasionally case studies in that sort of 4chan-ass anime bro style of humor. and as funny as characters swearing is it really is unfortunate cuz those unfixed translations sometimes CHANGE THE ENTIRE TONE OF THE STORYBEAT just for a not even that funny joke. obnoxious 🙄 @ folks goin in and doing more accurate translations and fixing past errors: you are the strongest yugioh warriors on this earth god bless you

[doggirldong]

Your blog is so cuuteee... But I really am feeling the need to DM you about Fallout fanpatches and mods lmao.

Yeah! i'd love to hear more about Fallout stuff! My DMs should be open here!

[asoulofatlantis]

So guys, watching this and gaving a vague review at the end of this will be the last thing I will do for Kai on this account until either a Fanpatch is out and complete OR the actual translation comes out - or first the fan patch and than the actual translation XD - it really depends on if the fans are faster or the guys who decide to make "Beautys Blade" out of "Sword Maiden" (I will complain about that in great detail in my Daybreak run... which will come a lot faster than even I thought it would XD)

In any case. Lets check those Memento Episodes out and see if we find something of interest in it.

I did never like the sentece that one would be born alone and would die alone. Because there is no freaking way to be born alone. There is always a mother who will have to give birth to you and even in cases like Millium and Altina, there were people there watching over their creating and growth. Even if your mother hates you, she will be there when you are born so it is completely impossible to be born alone. They really should work it differently. Like she was all alone after being born - which would still be completely wrong, as no baby can survive on their own. SOMEONE must have been there and have fulfilled all her basic needs somewhat.

This is Dominique by the way.

So she was raised by a pickpocketer, who was all in all a decent person but got violent when he was drunk (It was not specified in what way he got violent but I think it is better we do not think too hard about it...) HOWEVER, the man died when Dominique was only 12 years old.

Long story short: Eventually Dominique ended up in the mansion of the old Sheena Dirke and was captured by her music and they somehow became friends. And that is how the World of Dominique started to change.

I think this was the story of Aarons Ancestor. You know... the demon-lord from the first game or whatever he was called. His story never interested me much to be honest ^^'

This one is about Rion and Celis it seems...

Well... I guess at the end they were not, huh? Given how they are the only two Grahlsritter we know who are out and about together all the time.

That one was slightly longer.

Nothing about their relationship ever felt Toxic to me...

Honestly? Most of them are really boring. Nothing compared to what Riveri gave us with their special Episodes that were Animated and all. Some of the stuff we partly knew about already and we just get a deeper look now, like with Sharons story. We also see how Kevin and (low and behold) Thomas Lysander check out the first Statue of Emilias Excalibur. But here to, we knew about that stuff to some extent already.

Look at that bunch of old people talking about the militarisation process in a certain country...

Russel and Schmidts seem to love each other just as much as Schmitds and Alias Grandfather do XD

I stay with what I say. All the old people in this game are nuts. Knowledgeable and talented... but nuts!

I feel like we might need a more accurate translation for this one, as the whole "speech we do not understand" mixed with the MTL translation thingy isn't exactly easy to understand ^^'

However... what I did get that it seems like Nina came from "outside" if you get me. She did not come from Zemuria but likely the beyond. (So for all those people believing that only McBurn live behind the barrier that surrounds Zemuria... your are not wrong, but also not right XD)

Some more background story for Risette. It doesn't look like her world was that amazing tho. Then again, she didn't seem like an unhappy child.

I guess something was essentially different with Agnes mother... (A weddding-Dress... huh? We wish!)

So Agnes mother was more of an Erika, huh? XD I wonder what she would have said about Agnes feelings for Van then...

Haven't I cried enough for Agnes sake at this point? *sniff sniff*

Okay... that was a fittingly sad ending for this rather disappointing part of the Märchen Garten. Now lets talk about a few things regarding this game.

I do not think Kondo is overall a liar. But we had an interview for other games that came before Kai that were not saying the full truth and I think that proves that the issue is that Konto says what he wants to be true, not what really is true. I am sure he wanted to end Calvards-Story with that game but in the end not everything fitted into it. They might as well just have run out of time and money so they had to do it the way they did even tho it was not the initial intention. I guess overall Kondo really needs to thing more before he speaks. In the lasz interview before Kai came out HOWEVER when he was asked if Kai was the end of the Arc, he did actually say that people will know when they have reached the end of this game. So its not like he kept saying that this installment will be the end of the Calvard arc until the very last second. So I guess in the end, things just didn't go his way and he once again was too confident beforehand that they would. So I do not believe it was an intentional lie.

Also... economically speaking... this was the right move. Falcom isn't a big-budget company. And with their current plans for a Sky Remake and a new Tokiyo Xandu and a new Y-Game and apparently, there is also some other entirely new game in development, it is very likely that the wait for the next Trails game will be up to 3 years. If we would have finished the Calvard-Arc now, some people might have lost interest and would have stopped playing in those 2 to 3 years of wait for a new arc with possibly a new protagonist (although it looked like Kondo wants to include Shizuna in the next arc, but that remains to be seen...) and almost entirely new cast in a new part of the world. I know a lot of people stopped after Reverie and did not play Kuro even tho the wait wasn't even that long. Not many people will stop playing now, with such an open ending, so they will very likely play the next game. To top that off, the next game will use all existing character-models (likely also add a few but they will have to spend less resource on designing new character-models or places. If they would have to make a completely new Trails-Game, that might have taken some extra time to top the already possible long wait off. So its really not like it is an unwise decision to do it that way.

Now let's talk about poor Lloyd. Is everything that happened in Kais ending his fault? I don't think so! Yes, he refused to get the necessary knowledge from Ishmelga Rean and on first glance it seems like that if we knew what was about to come, we could have prevented losing Agnes and Emilia and having to have a small reset yet again. HOWEVER... what we did not know and no one could have known until now was that not the cage, not the cube, not the core of the cube but the Diving Knight looking thingy inside the core of the cube was actually the enemy. So even if we knew beforehand about the wall and the cube, we would have likely made the same mistakes as Greamheart did and our boys would have ended up dead just like Emilia did. We literally had to see what we ended up seeing to truly know what we are up against. So if Lloyd had allowed himself to know about this problem and shared it with the others... we might have watched part of our heroes die (AGAIN!) as a result of them rushing to save the world without knowing the full picture. (Basically, like the fandom is freaking out about the game without a proper translation...) This time, we completly know what we are up against and we also know at least somewhat that some high-end Panzer-Soldat alone will not cut it. (I do HOPE we know it, because I am not sure who will keep their memory and who won't ^^') So next time we are fully prepared and we will make sure that this was the last reset, the last sacrifice and the last time we will be stopped from leaving Zemuria.

Now what do I overall think of this game? It was not bad... but also not extremely good. Reans and Kevins story were solid. They had a relatively good pacing but ended up with not being able to archive anything worth mentioning in the end of their respective routes. Vans route (until the final chapters that is!) was such a boring drag. I feel like I should totally skip on all sidemissions the first time I play it, so that my first official review will not include one of my feared "the pacing was awful!" critic points ^^' Overall it was a solid mediocre game in my eyes. The difficulty (Inferno played on normal this time) was INSANE! Whoever complained that Trails games are too easy should be kicked! XD Not sure what to say about character development. I feel like most characters took like a step back or changed in the "wrong" direction, if you get me. Obviously Crow and Rean have changed a bit and so did Altina... and Kevin made a 180 back to his times before Sky 3 and... yeah. But this is just what I feel like right now REMEMBER it might turn out very different after I played this game myself with a proper translation. I found Emilia aka Hermes also a bit... odd. She too felt like a completely different character than the Hermes that delivered packages to us ^^' Not to mention that they tried to give her some screentime and some chances to connect with most of our boys and yet her death was made so unemotional. Not even her own father had the time or chance to mourn. Rean was the only one at least shortly addressing some sort of upset about it. I did feel sorry for her, but sad? No. Falcom failed there. I also feel it was oddly intentional that non of our teams made it to their true destination in time. Rean did not reach the space-center. Kevin did not reach a conclusion for himself about the question if he wants to become that man again that Kills heretics and keeps his girlfriend at arms length for that sake or not. Van did reach the place he though he needed to reach, but what he really wanted was to reach Agnes and he failed at that one too. I feel like this game lacks the satisfying moment where you think you have at least archived something that both Sky 1 had with stopping the Coupe and CS3 had with beating that pre-final-dungeon and that 3 phases fight dragon with your full team and also seemingly stopping the invasion though Calvard. NOTHING seems to have been resolved in a satisfying way in Kai. Other than that... I think the music was goodisch, not amazing, but Falcom-Typical good. Tho I miss some banger-Songs in that OST. Lets hope Kai 2 or whatever will do better! Yeah... so that is that.

Oh? Did it answer some important questions? I believe it does! Maybe not as much and not in as much detail as it sounded like when Falcom said it, but there is plenty of stuff answered. Sadly tho... most of those answers only brought more questions along XD

One more final thing before I stop.

Shippings. I know you don't want to hear it, but you need to! Because I want you too! ;P

So most of my shipping-fears were just that. Fears. As far as I know nothing was mentioned from ANYONE that ruined any of my ships. Obvioiusly Rean got some scenes with what he had available of his Harem, but that was to be expected. Not sure what is going on with him outside of those small scenes, but I feel like right now I do not even want to know. (I still feel like something was off with that... but I could be wrong or my fear just... make me see things or something. Either way, we will not get an answer for my fears for a while... so lets let that rest for now...) HOWEVER! The most funny thing for me in this game is that shipping-wise I buried the Van and Agnes ship right next to the Titanic already, long before the game was even out. Like this was the one ship I didn't fear would sink, because I was sure it would sink. Now we all saw Van rejecting Agnes and despite him leaving it far too open there were PLENTY of hints for Van and Elaine so it seems like I was right on the mark. But... I was... somehow not? I was already irritated when Kevin accidentally ran into that flashback with Agnes and Grendel and the Camera was so overly focused on them even tho this scene did not have anything to do with Kevins current plans and plotline. And after Agnes left Vans Team it was also odd how much Focus Van had on Agnes and how the game made sure he had plenty of opportunity to speak or think about her even to a point where Elaine of all people thought she can not compete with our girl. And despite still throwing Van and Elaine hints in there here and there... we end up with Van confronting Agnes with the fact that he had realized that she provoked his rejection and making him sound like her chances have been a lot higher than any of us thought. Not to mention that the whole ending was Van thinking of mostly Agnes and... uh... I don't know. But SOMEHOW that ship has NOT sunk yet. WTF?!

I mean... I am glad... somehow... but HOW?!

*achem* Anyway... we will see each other again as soon as Falcom gets out of their hole and reveals if "Vans Final Episode" will play in Kai 2 or Hajimari 2 or is actually part of a series of DLC content that likely will also include Reans and Kevins final Episode.

Until then... lets play Daybreak! XD

I know it took two invasions and 10 years of war between them, but I'm glad more than 0 games are getting Ukrainian language on release and not tackled on "better than nothing" shitass fanpatches.

“mint green” 💀

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME 🤣 I just wanted to make sure whether I understood right what colour @oysternymph was talking about… But prior to that: “colouring” because I wanted to see whether the UK version had a ‘u’ in it. @ruskatuskapuskasapuska you might have read this word in one of my tags under your Noiz fanart :D

Current obsession: Literally just got back into DRAMAtical Murder after first playing this game 12 years ago (might have said 13 somewhere but that doesn’t match the fanpatch release date). The obsession has kicked in last night!

Looking into getting FSN - should I go realta nua or original?

no reason not to go realta nua at this point, since the ultimate edition fanpatch lets you select which versions of scenes and soundtracks you want to use! if you're not using the retranslation, I personally recommend using the original scenes and soundtracks, then toggling the realta nua soundtrack on for heaven's feel (I think it creates an interesting contrast)

if you intend on using the re-TL, follow that advice with knowledge that the retranslation only applies to the realta nua scenes, so only the music bit is really relevant

Actually I honestly don’t know what kind of stupid bullshit has prevented Nintendo from releasing Mother 3 worldwide. Whether it’s copyright or some kind of weird grudge against Shigesato Itoi or whatever, but anyone who’s played it knows what I mean. It’s one of those games that isn’t just a game, it’s fucking art and everyone needs to play it.
