That’s nice to see, and I’ve been craving the original two games lately. I’m just waiting until DosBox gets RetroAchevements support since I like going deep into these games for 100% map competition on each campaign. (Plus I think it will support GoG versions and mod since they all use DosBox).

I’ve no doubt they’d have lost that land one way or another, although I suppose it could have gone to the British and made into part of Canada or something.

According to my Nintendo Wii, the last date is Dec 31st, 2035. So just less than a decade away from the end of the world!

Good way to put it; I’ve been a subs person for anime as long as I remember but I make an exception for games, I think in large part because they consult the devs more during localization. When anime does that, it seems to hit those two points.

I’m playing Arc Rise Fantasia, as part of the Wii RetroAchevements event. I never even heard of it but 15 years later, I think it might be my favorite “Tales Of” game while not being an actual Tales Of game (the scenario writer did Symphonia and Abyss but was allowed to go darker and more serious with this).

It flopped tremendously because of a terrible English dub and being a JRPG on Wii. The English VAs are practically reading from a script in one take and the hundreds of skits aren’t voiced. The undub patch is a must, as the Japanese VAs are phenomenal and most of them are still working so you might recognize them.

Its IP is under Marvelous but developed by a defunct developer so it’s probably never going to see a rerelease… though, I guess anything is possible. Even if it did, I’d wait for a sale, hehe.
