- Comment on The Mayan civil service afforded you a movie 1 week ago:
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!
- Comment on Classic dubs seemed so much better. Now most dubs seem unwatchable 2 weeks ago:
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.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 3 weeks ago:
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.
