Board 8 > Jeff Zero & Leonhart in Different Houses: The Odyssey Continues [JZLF]

(+) Yeah! (+)

Two years would be a fairly small gap for a new mainline game, though I wouldn't be surprised if they had more of this one planned than they have in a while (I assume AJ's reception led to them rejiggering their plans quite a bit. Same with DD's success).
---

Well, two years between games has been done before, so it could be a new game. Also, fiscal year 2018 does roll into 2019 so it could end up being an early 2019 release, which would be closer to 3 years.
---

I feel like trying to pretend the games take place in America is what prevented us from getting the meiji era games (that and AAI sales probably)

The localization is great otherwise, but maybe they could have gone with a semi-fictitious location? The whole Kurain stuff is always so japanese that it takes me out a bit anyway that I'm supposed to believe it's not japan.
---

Maybe 6-4 would've been good if they'd actually localized it...
---

Haven't played past 3 myself yet so I can't say!
---

Eh, DGS didn't even sell well in Japan by the series' standards. If they were concerned about sales, it was probably smart from a business standpoint not to bring those two over. I don't think the whole localization thing had anything to do with it. DGS is set 100+ years before the main series, so they could do whatever they want with it in terms of localizing it. Most of the cases in both games take place in England anyway. I still don't really get why we never got AAI2 though other than it came at the end of the DS's lifespan, which doesn't matter as much when the 3DS is backward compatible.

I know the whole Japanifornia thing is a meme at this point, but it doesn't really bother me at all.

yeah I doubt there's much of anything they could've done to make that a good case

I don't think the localization was the problem
---

There's been an AA game every year since 2011 except for 2014, so having a new title next year wouldn't be a surprise.

As for localization: You have to change a lot in DGS1 for Wright's ancestor not to be Japanese, and I'm not sure if you could make it work. DGS2 could pull it off for what it's worth, though I wouldn't expect them to bring over the second game and not the first.
---

Yeah, but there's no reason his great-great-grandfather can't be Japanese, is there? I have a good friend who is third generation Japanese-American (although only a quarter Japanese technically at this point) and she has a fully "American" name, so it'd be doable for Phoenix's name to become Phoenix Wright within a few generations.
---

The series is silly enough too that they can just lampshade it however they want really.

Haha, that was a joke. Would've been funny if it had been about steak cooking or something, and then the twist at the end is that it's actually pork.

The mainline games and the DGS games have different teams working on them though, right?
---

Yeah, Takumi has done the DGS games, but it's been the same team working on the mainline series since AAI1.

I mean.

that was my approach >_>

speaking of DGS, man these DGS2 LP videos are coming out at a painfully slow rate

are you sure you can't do a fan translation of your own dowolf?

All right, the fight against the evil troll scientist's team in Yu Yu Hakusho was pretty good. Those last two episodes were definitely up there in terms of favorite episodes so far, so it's on the upswing now, at least! Naturally, Yusuke's team doesn't get a break before their next match, so we'll be jumping straight into that one next time!
---

one of the worst things about cold weather is that my feet tend to get cold and no amount of socks or blankets can fix it

about the only thing I can do is just get a big bowl of hot water and soak my feet in it for a little bit
---

Ha I thought that was a pretty weak segment when I read the manga, but it is a necessary change of pace from the one on one fights.
---

Well, they manage to inject a bit of emotion to give me some relief from all the hotbloodedness, which was very welcome.
---

Anyway, in Hyouka, everyone's struggling under the pressures of the cultural festival, although that means different things for each character. It reminds me a lot of the Sigh arc in Haruhi, where there's this obvious atmosphere of discomfort that everyone except for Haruhi herself can sense.
---

So since I've been watching it lately, what are the chances of getting Leon to watch Love Live? I'm guessing pretty low but you never know.

Show is pretty good though imo.
---

Nico nico no chance at all.
---

yeah I have zero interest in something like Love Live

Eh, most Sonic vocal songs are bad.

BORN ON AN ISLAND

IN THE HEAVENS

sonic adventure knuckles songs are a treasure take this back
---

I wouldn't say most, but lots of Sonic vocal songs are great.
---

The Knuckles songs are the rare "so bad it's good" ones I mentioned because they occasionally become so absurd I can't help but laugh at them. I still would never want to listen to them outside of the game unless it's this one particular video here:

and that's mostly because the timing is so good

Lyrics might be silly but those beats are unirionically groovy

Since we were talking about Ace Attorney localizations yesterday, it's good timing that Janet Hsu (the voice of Franziska von Karma herself) put out a blog post today about the localization process for Apollo Justice (or as she says it could have been, Arthur Swift).

is that a yes or no

it's a "I kinda want to, but then there's a hundred other things I can't do so..."
---

Yeah, I get that.
---

In Yu Yu Hakusho, this Kurama guy is pretty good.
---

Kurama was definitely 12-year-old pyre's favorite character for whatever that's worth.
---

Kurama just gets better and better

"You've caught me with my hand red."

don't think I've ever heard it phrased quite like that

but yeah winning two fights despite being at an extreme disadvantage, this is what I want if I'm going to watch shounen

heck and he did it in one episode apiece too

my man

Wait, Mario Galaxy is ten years old? Man, the heyday of the Wii really doesn't feel like it was that long ago.

wow. yeah. hearing that actually kinda caught me off guard. time realllyyy flies.

In Hyouka, the cultural festival arc comes to an end. It's kind of neat viewing it knowing who the culprit is beforehand because you can get little hints that it's him if you pay attention. There's also a lot of talk about failed expectations in the final episode from a bunch of different characters, almost like it's a buzzword here. I talked before about the burden of expectation from Hotaro's point of view when he's the one of whom things are expected, but in this case, it's the pain that comes from expectations when you're the one expecting of someone else and it doesn't happen. It's an interesting contrast.

Last Recode Progress: Finished Vol 1 and started Vol 2. Totally hyped because Vol 2 is where G.U. goes from good to amazing territory.
---

Butch Jones finally fired

Now to see if Tennessee can actually get the coach they want this time.
---

All of these racing moons are the worst
---

Racing moons are fun! Assuming you mean the koopa ones. Only flaw is if you have a fast first time you still have to race again.
---

Did you finish Breath of the Wild, Leon? I was avoiding it once you got to spoiler territory.

Not done with the game yet though, still got the Gerudo Divine Beast left, just curious if you dropped it or finished it real quick.

I mean both the Koopa ones and those terrible bouncing races!
---

The bouncing ones arent great. The koopa races are awesome though.
---

Leon finished Zelda.

The bouncing ones suck yes. The final race is one of the only moons I skipped.
---

I guess to be fair to the Koopa races I've been able to learn the tricks and eventually finish the ones I've tried (at the expense of getting some cramps in my hands after a while)

The bouncing controls are just garbage

Yeah, I beat it. Best Zelda!

Also, the only Koopa race I dislike is the Wooded Kingdom one, which I've already mentioned in this topic. I didn't find the bouncing races to be all that bad. I won all of them pretty easily. I think the Secret Race Rank S took me a couple of tries, but that's it.
---

Sand Koopa race was disappointing. Could have been really neat without the Jaxi.
---

I finished the Wooded Kingdom race, but I had to look up how to do it (the jump you need to execute is pretty ridiculous and I never would have figured it out on my own).
