A question to you guys: Normally in Trails/Kiseki games text always fades in instead of instantly appearing, but here, whenever there is voiced dialogue, the text just appears instantly. It's a bit distracting for me. Is this due to the fan translation patch or was the original Japanese version the same?

 

Yeah Randy's accent is a nice touch. But i feel like the NPCs are really badly translated. Sometimes it gets to the point of feeling like i'm reading some google translate script... But it can't be helped i guess. Also, even though the translation is pretty much the same as the PSP/PC leak, this version here seems to have some hickups, like typos not present in the PC version. Also in the Genten workshop at the beginning Randy asks in the PC version: "Hey Llloyd, is this your childhood friend...", in the Vita version, he asks: "Hey, is this Llloyd's childhood friend....". But on the other hand in the PC version there is a maid saying a nonesensical line like: "It's confused here, so could you please sit?" While in the Vita version she says: "It's hectic here so could you pls sit." Much better. So all in all it's "pick your poison" i guess.Overall i think the Vita version of the translation is a tiny bit better.

I'm still really happy we got the Evo version patch and the guy who made the patch performed a small miracle. I'm still on the brink of dropping it and waiting for the Geofront translation.

 

Isn't that bug very common if you use a maidump or VPK game?

 

It indeed was (and still is, for those using Maidump) an issue from "back there", so yes, make sure you save and close the game after playing
