Fate/Apocrypha Translation (no spoilers)

[Canon]

So, Kertys/mewarmo kinda-sorta nudged me to this.

I know I pretty much disappeared off the face of the earth for the past half-year or so, at least regarding my projects here and elsewhere. There were two major reasons for this:

1. I was getting really stressed out by my job constantly requiring me to put in overtime (which thankfully has ended at the beginning of this month at our product launch seminar)

2. Final Fantasy XIV (seriously, it’s awesome)

It may seem like point 2 contradicts point 1, and if I had the time to play I should have the time to translate. The thing is, casual raiding in FFXIV doesn’t require an excess of thought and effort on my part, but translating does. Basically, simple pleasures trumped mental achievements. My mind is weak. Sorry.

That said, I do want to get back on the horse soon, as I got my JLPT N2 results recently and will be applying to take the N1 later this year (July), and I definitely want the extra practice. And since I work better with a deadline, let’s say… a release sometime this weekend, and then we’ll see how it goes from there.

well i dont mind waiting. real life should come first. thanks for the update and good luck with the jlpt stuff.

[Sarn]

Thanks for the update.
Looking forward to it!

[Amazigh]

Thank you for the update, Canon. I will now relax for a while longer.

[SINIB]

Yay! Thanks for allaying our fear.

[Kat]

Now we know what we should do. Assassinate the administration of Final Fantasy XIV's servers.

[Mcjon01]

no don't patch 2.2 is so close

[chipathy]

thank you canonrap :3

[mewarmo990]

I should probably start studying for N1.

[Frostedflakes]

maybe i should consider taking the jlpt as well (atfer my japanese improves....)

[mewarmo990]

There are many levels. So if you have any limited proficiency at all I am sure there is one you can take.

[Frostedflakes]

ah i see it seems is now have a goal to works towards.

[Amazigh]

Hm... I wonder who would win in a Race of Riders...
Astolfo vs Medusa
and
Achilles vs Iskander

[Rafflesiac]

It would take a moonreader to read Apocrypha and figure out if Astolfo's mount outsped Medusa's Pegasus.

And we haven't seen Achilles's mount yet, so no clue on that one.

[AmADo VII]

I can't answer that in this thread.

[Christemo]

It would take a moonreader to read Apocrypha and figure out if Astolfo's Hippogriff outsped Medusa's Pegasus.

And we haven't seen Achilles's mount yet, so no clue on that one.

Astolfo's Hippogriff is A. not a Divine Beast B. A lower rank than Bellerophon and C. most likely cannot go at supersonic speeds.

[Amazigh]

Hence why I say I wonder. ^_^

I would reply that Hippogriff is the Noble Phantasm, whereas the Pegasus is not Belleraphon. That, and with a large section masked, there's no telling if it can go as fast as the Pegasus or not. And as Belleraphon turns the Pegasus' most powerful charge into an attack, I think it's unnecessary for a simplistic race. o.o

[Sarn]

Oh, so now spoilers are authorized here? Unless this is somehow not a spoiler.

I did not know about Astolfo's hippogryph.
Could you please keep your information about NPs or abilities that have not appeared thus far to yourself?
At the very least in this thread. I think there is a thread dedicated to F/A discussions where you can spoil to your heart's content.

No, no spoilers.
