I have to say I'm surprised with the amount of support I'm getting for this project. I didn't expect very many people to show so much support and this has motivated me to work harder for this project.
I have to say I impressed myself in how fast I was able to finish translating the next segment of the game. This is the actual gameplay of the stage. As I have mentioned before, I didn't translate any of the in-game menu or commands and strictly translated the dialogue. I did translate the mission objectives so you get an idea of what's going on.
Now onto the notes for this segment:
- MS stands for Mobile Suits from the Gundam series. I alternate between MS or the whole word depending on the size of the chat box.
- PT stands for Personal Trooper. This is the Banpresto Original's equivalent of an MS. When I say Banpresto Originals, it refers to the mechs specifically designed just for the SRW series.
- You'll notice that the dialogue skips a little during the first battle animation against the R-GUN. Selena is suppose to say "I'll show you how to sting like an ant!" right before Elma says "Don't you mean sting like a bee?" That dialogue is in the video, but it flashes by so quickly that you might not even catch it. The recording didn't actually get cut but rather it was the game itself that cut that dialogue short. I've noticed that it does that on occasion so this might happen in the future as well. I'll make sure I note it whenever it does.
- I had actually recorded this segment twice. The first time ended with me getting a gameover and that was because of luck. Hit rate in the game is quite brutal sometimes and even when I had Selena and Elma use the concentrate command (increase evade by 30%), you'll notice that there was still a 25-30% chance of getting hit by the enemy. In the future, I will start saving at the start of each turn so the stage might not be played in one segment.
- For those of you playing this stage, here's a few tips. Use Selena's concentrate command rather than Elma's. Elma will gain the heal command when it levels up, which can save you if your hit. If you do get hit, it's probably a good idea to dodge during the enemy turn and only attack on your turn. However, if you're going for the Challenge mission, you will have to take some risks like myself and counter some attacks if not all of them.
And now, onto the video:
woah, that was a fast update. not that we're not grateful about it, of course :) I have no complaints about that fast dialogue, SRW games have a tendency to do this (it happens in the OG games for the GBA too, for example), but I have a question: there's bound to be a lot of battles in the playthrough and after some time many attacks will be repeated as well as dialogues, so... will you skip battles once you feel they don't show anything new? it's more a recommendation than a question, it would help keeping your sanity! great job, by the way :)
ReplyDeleteI'm still fumbling with that idea. One of the biggest charm for SRW is the awesome battle animations so I'd hate to skip them even if it can get exceedingly repetitious. I will, for the moment stick with showing all animations but there's still a possibility that I would change my mind in the future. XD
DeleteYeah, you may eventually find yourself skipping them, though the dialog will change for characters going up against rivals or enemies from the same series. There's some left field ones though too that are unexpected (and sometimes amusing too).
DeleteIf there's one thing the SRW fandom can help with on this project, its the gameplay if you're having problems with some stuff.
You are doing a great work, mate! We really appreciate it.
