The Legend of Heroes: Trails into Reverie Review (Zekkn)
original game is GREAT.... this is not that game as per NISA's usual antics
they continue to try and test their writing chops when not only is this not what a translator is paid to do, the stuff they do change ( of which there is an abundance ) is objectively worse than the source material.
game was rushed with many text errors and straight up misleading information hindering game play (character descriptions/craft descriptions/brave orders/mission descriptions/japanese voices in the english dub sections/characters calling out to the wrong chracter in interactions/incorrect names of places/nicknames/titles)... which for a product you have been waiting 3 YEARS for is just unacceptable at this point
i can deal with a COUPLE of grammar mistakes here and there if that's all it was but not only is it not just a few it seems they just love wasting time trying to write zoomer humour and in studio jokes into this game where they did not exist to begin with which not only comes off as egotistical and unprofessional but ruins the setting our characters are set in but NISA dont seem to proofread anything from these games anyway so im not surprised.
YES ESTELLE IS STILL THE INCORRECT CHARACTER THEY CHANGED HER INTO FROM SKY and they have already ruined 2 characters setups for the next 2 games so congrats on not doing any research into the series you are working on
ONLY BUY THIS VERSION if you are gonna play in jp dub and add the fanpatch to fix this game and put back in the original characters dialogue and interactions otherwise dont touch this series with a 10 ft pole untill they remember that they are translators for an already established series and not writers
SUCH a SHAME as this is the peak of this series in terms of gameplay and characters and your not getting that here.
if your interested in kuro the next game just play it now with the fanpatch as it is of a higher standard than whatever they did with this game that still is not fixed, as the next games main cast will not be the same if the past 3 cold steel translations are anything to go on which is a real shame.
TLDR if you want to be a writer and make original stories this is not the industry for you, go test out your mettle in that industry and not here where we are PAYING YOU to give us the game falcom made in English not what the few people on your twitter timeline and workplace THINK the game should be... its not that hard.
AI translation can not come soon enough with studio's like these still in business, which is a shame as i would rather give humans jobs but they dont seem to want it and do everything in their power to lose said job.
