p.e. the LE for cold steel.. they couldn´t put a soundtrack cd into it because of "strange licencing issues" (reason nr. 1 when they don´t do a thing).. strange that nisa could deliever one
If you take a comparison of the tracks on the NISA soundtrack vs the full soundtrack, you'll also notice that the ten tracks are edited. You're basically only getting a soundtrack sampler with just ten tracks of a four disc soundtrack.

or that they wanted to add additional dub lines for cold steel, but that wasn´t possible for falcom (yea sure they wanted to pay more for the localization.. on the other hand the evolution games have "too much dub".. and a part-dub is out of question.. just other companies do the same.. figures)
Reading this tells me you don't know anything about the Evolution versions. Falcom themselves couldn't afford the amount of voice work that's in Zero no Kiseki Evolution, for one. This is why Chara-Ani and Kadokawa Games is involved. Falcom does not even have the distribution rights for these games- if you look at their online store, you could see this.
Zero no Kiseki Evolution is the only game with this information open, but they had over 150 actors in the game, recording over 20,000 lines of dialogue. This is the *smallest* of the Evolution games, since Zero no Kiseki only does main events. Ao no Kiseki is a larger game period, and the Sora no Kiseki FC and SC Evolution actually included NPCs and side quests.
Adding some more lines for one voice actor is one thing. Handling the process for that many voice actors is something else entirely and a logistical nightmare.
1) I just type AO for fun. It makes me smile.
Maybe it makes you smile, but it makes you look quite foolish and that you have no clue what you are talking about.
2) Xseed is entirely in control of who they use for distribution.
When Trails in the Sky originally came out for PSP, Gamestop actually screwed up the release on their end of distribution. XSEED confirmed that their distributor got it out, but something internally with Gamestop prevented stores from having the proper release date information. The web shop had one release date, the stores had a different release date, two days later, and the item description had a completely different release date.
So either you have someone inside the distribution to know exactly what happened, or you're just making assumptions.
3) See above for anything relating to Nightwolve.
Take into account that Nightwolve is either respected or a complete laughing stock, depending on who you talk to. From what I've seen from my site's readers, he's pretty heavily disliked from a majority of them.
They found a fan of the series to translate the games. I will admit that I don't know everything about the series. But I am intelligent enough to had people on my team who do and have been fans of Falcom games since the 80s. i do believe that trumps 12 years by a decade or two.
Congratulations on having Falcom fans who have been fans for two decades, but knowledge of Brandish and Ys isn't going to help with the Kiseki series which has a ton of terminology and so forth that's series specific. Someone who's focused on Ys isn't going to be able to tell you about the Sept-Terrion or what's been uncovered, of Falcom's exact meanings in those titles, or which Anguis was hinted at and potentially quietly revealed in one of the Crossbell games.
And this person who has been a fan of the Kiseki series has been a Falcom fan for much longer than the Kiseki series. YOu're moving the goalposts by saying Falcom vs Kiseki in this case. Hell, if we want to go that way, I've been a fan of Falcom's games for about two decades too.
I did not want to use Xseed terminology for these games (Zero and "Ao"). But against my wishes and with much consideration for fans of the games, I changed my stance about a year ago.
Not entirely just XSEED's terminology, mind you, but a lot of these terms are coming straight from Falcom. Does that mean if you want to avoid XSEED's terms, you're going to throw orbment and orbal out as well? Or Septian Church? Or Ouroboros? These are all important to the story and if there's an interest/demand for proof of this, please let me know, because I can show you plenty of places where Falcom's had this stuff written out.
I am more worried about them stealing it. The spreadsheets were in plain site for a very long time. You know, those things they had such a hard time getting right with SC.
lol - don't worry. XSEED would have no intention of stealing it.
The tools were in plain site also, so they would not have had to rely much on Falcom here either (another problem they seemed to have).
You seem to think that XSEED can/will do this without Falcom's permission. You have absolutely no idea of how localization works, then.
Every time I make a reference mistake, it is promptly pointed out to me.
Last I heard, it was Guan who was working on that, and he's stated elsewhere that he's left the project. Will the project continue to have a checkover on it or is it going to be whatever is out there without knowing what's going to come down in Ao no Kiseki?
