Fans have displayed a great deal of contempt over the fact that Eiyuu Densetsu: Sen no Kiseki III will be coming westward by way of NIS America, as the company has a legendary track record in regards to horrendous mistakes, spelling and translations (to say nothing of the disaster that was Ys VIII).
NIS America made the announcement via their Twitter account, coupled with a trailer:
Fans were not too ecstatic upon learning that the infamous NIS America would be tasked with localizing the title (there was also disappointment in regards to the game being a PS4 exclusive):
Eiyuu Densetsu: Sen no Kiseki III will launch in the west for the PS4 sometime in 2019 – players will have the option to choose between English or Japanese voice-overs.
cuckstation only and localized by nisa? it’s like this company wants to lose their investors money on purpose
RIP franchise
Expect text too big for dialogue boxes and getting cut off. Weird modern day euphemisms and references. Complete und utter ignorance of well established in-world concepts. Et cetera. If the game runs at all and doesn’t crash every 5 minutes.
Crashing games aren’t a unique thing though. Tales of Vesperia Definitive Edition has serious crashing issues on the Switch, and I think other platforms. That’s a Bandai Namco game who are a much bigger company.
doesn’t crush at ps4, right? the rest, are platforms no one cares for, anyway 🙂
Love Falcom games, but EVERY game NISA gets ahold of becomes an unmitigated disaster, either by royally fucked-up translation errors, adding game-breaking bugs that weren’t there originally that can cause the hardware to meltdown like Fukushima, bizarre censorship practices, completely re-writing the script for the lulz, or all of the above (Looking at you, NISA & Ar Tonelico 2).
I’ll be optimistic and hope for the best. The alternative would simply be no localization at all which sucks just as much as a s♥♥t quality translation job. Also hope the fourth and final game gets picked up too.
It’s a anime game … I wonder how much of it they’re going to censor
