Uh, I didn’t know it was set in Italy…that makes it somehow more appealing. I’m a little worried, though, japanese authors tend to have a very stereotypical idea of Italy.
By the way, it’s more correctly "Orma Rossa"instead of “Oruma Rossa” - it means something like “Red Footprint”, or more fittingly “Red Track” - and “Luparia” is kinda funny in ways that would probably require too much of an explanation
The review of Gekkou no Carnevale was. in fact, so interesting I had to stop reading it. Past a certain “awesomeness threshold”, I just want to be surprised. I don’t like spoilers, and I especially don’t like reading about something that may or may not ever come out. I really do hope it gets picked up (although I expect it probably has been). We’ll just have to wait and see …
I have been almost completely avoiding FFXIII coverage, for example, along with GoW3, and Heavy Rain, and Alan Wake, etc. etc. I just … don’t want to know. I’ll check the reviews to make sure they didn’t pull an epic fail, then buy the game, and that will be that.
No, the Chinese eat cats. Koreans are the ones that eat dogs. Trust me, I was deployed there twice. But considering these games are made for Japanese players it makes sense to use stereotypes. Every nation has their own interpretations on other nations and their people. If it’s generally accepted in Japan that Americans are all blond and optimistic then that’s probably the easiest way to depict them in a game. American developers may shy away from using stereotypes but it’s only because they’d get sued if they did.
Well, my guess is that they’re going to show off the work they did on the game, which is probably a few shots of dialogue, the menu, etc. However, there is a possibility they’ll show one or two “teaser” pictures.
So now that the first pass is almost done, we can probably expect the proofreading and miscellaneous testing to take at least another 2-3 months. So we might be looking at a May or June release, which sounds consistent with their statement that they’d like to have the game out before this year’s Anime Expo.
You know, AX '10 is only a matter of months away, and it’s been almost two months since the last time we’ve seen any updates with regards to Demonbane. I would like to hear more news on how progress on the localization is going. You know, how much of the script they’ve translated, whether they cut/censored anything out, when can we expect to see a release, etc.
Heck if I know–Maybe if I had a little bit of information in the form of localization notes or something, we’d be able to find out. But then again, I fail to see why my answer would matter to you if it wasn’t relevant or significant enough to harm the game for the vast majority.
