Fate/Grand Order General Discussion (CONTAINS SPOILERS)

[AmADo VII]

Kajita just spoiled a bit about summer event, there might be male swimsuit servant.

700days anniversary.... for just 10 quartz><

That's a bit tight ass if you ask me.

No~~~~!!!! >< I saved up quartz for archuria and "sailor-Mo".......

[Mcjon01]

They should give 700 quartz, not like you can roll anything good with just that much anyway.

Only "might be"?

I would almost bet all my quartz that there will be a male swimsuit servant.

[GundamFSN]

In TM maybe = yes.

[Swiftstar88]

Why are you guys setting yourselves up for disappointment

Isn't this what we do best?

[Arha]

Didn't we already know we'd probably getting male swimsuits? Probably Astolfo at least.

[canaki]

Checked the radio to see what Kajita said.

radio blurb

They were talking about events, and future events that we can look forward to.
The girls go "oh, right, swimsuit happens too", asks Kajita whether we can look forward for info in the stream tomorrow (期待はしていいんですか？), and Kajita says yeah why not (いいんじゃないの？), which does sounds like his way of saying "there is info on swimsuits tomorrow".
They continue to ask if he knows who will get swimsuits, specifically "little boys", and Kajita doesn't answer this one directly, only mentioning "last time was mainly girls" (前回の水着イベントわりと女の子ばっかりだったからね) and changing the topic.
Now, you can take this as "this time is not mainly girls", or just him trying to avoid trouble.

Not much of a leak. Wait and hope for tomorrow's stream, I say.

[Nikiri]

specifically "little boys"

yare yare, kouhai-chan

Not sure if this is the correct thread to post this, but here goes:

Extella's main translator thoughts on F/GO NA translation quality:

Ok so I made it through Fuyuki so here are a few thoughts on the translation from a professional perspective.



There are a lot of small inconsistencies like missing spaces, small typos, inconsistencies in capitalization and terminology.
In terms of in game lore, there are clearly segments edited by people who know fate, and those who do not. That's just really plain to anyone who likes fate, not just to those who can read JP FGO. Most of the characters in Fuyuki sound the same except when someone remembers that Caster Cu is still a rough boy. But Caster is also written pretty inconsistently. At times he's overly formal in normal conversation and they've inexplicably gone to a more casual route/modern slang with things he takes seriously like his druid incantations.



This is particularly weird to me since in legend Cu Chulainn has respect for druids and some stories say he must obey them via geas.

There are some strange choices in terminology, as they use leylines, call the summoning points ley points, but have gone with Rayshift.

They definately dropped some balls on knowing what fans/official terms for things. On the first screenshot in this thread where the daily quests are, you can see that today the exp missions are referred to Lance/Killing. This seems strange to us fans, but in japan, the classes are often referred to with one kanji character to simplify speech in discussions. Lancers have the kanji for spear/lance, and assassins use the kanji for kill, based on the first kanji in the word for assassin in Japanese. But it looks like whoever translated/edited thisdidn't know this piece of fate trivia, which is how were getting this curious terminology for the daily quests.

But the biggest problem I personally have is that the dialogue reads really unnaturally. A lot of the grammar is bad and takes you out of the game trying to read it, and a lot of the English is very literal instead of translating what the character is trying to convey.

This creeps in to some of the servant skills I've seen as well. One of mashu's skills is translated as wall of fuming chalk. This is not only bad localization, but bad translation. The white chalk portion comes from the kanji 白亜. Now this can technically mean chalk, but it most often means something that is painted white. It would be like how whitewash is a kind of paint, but we would often just say painted white instead of saying a whitewashed wall. (Unless you're writing a story set in the south or rural areas) The fuming part comes from the first part of her skill, 時に煙る. 煙る can literally mean dusty or fuming, but here's it's more meant in its second meaning, which is obscured or difficult to see(as if it is hidden by dust) and they've chosen not to include the 時に portion of her skill name. If you read the whole name it would read as White wall obscured with time. (Which is quite a mouthful yes) But there doesn't seem to be a lot of poetry in the terms they've chosen. Even working with character limits, something like Obscured White Wall would have sounded nicer for their heroine.

I understand there's limits on how to show the poetic subtitles of NPs in the game... But it's disappointing that US fans will never see the subtext in many of the heroes NPs. A lot of these are things that relate deeply to the hero, but it's sad that you lose a lot of the subtle things that tell you more about the hero, or subtle connections like Andersen and Nursery Rhyme's NP.

Overall my complaints are that it's sloppy work, there's none of the poetry that Nasu and Type Moon are famous for, and it feels rushed and unedited. Hopefully the next chapter will be a little more clean as Jeanne is one of their big heroines.

Also, just to clarify why I'm so critical about the translation in FGO, I was the main translator for Fate / Extella and did 80% of it. Extella is not perfect but I can say that everyone did their best to bring the charm of the Extra series to US fans.

Not to say it's the wrong thread, but the English version thread might appreciate it more.

[Astroprogs]

I initially thought to post it there, yeah, but it seemed focused on gameplay and is moving too quickly so a lot of people would miss it as a result.

[GundamFSN]

Nah it's been p slow here. It's an awesome read btw.

Dantes hype

[Nikiri]

inb4 astolfo as the only male swimsuit servant

[Sacred]

Wondering how many limited servants are we getting for this summer event... The most we had was 5 with last years summer event. Are we going to get another 5 or even more then that.

There was 8.
I wanna know more about how many gacha pages we're going to get this time.

[Arha]

Wasn't it seven? Tamamo, Artoria, Anne and Mary, Mordred, Marie, Martha and Kiyohime? Scathach was a charity Servant and isn't limited, strictly speaking.

[manafusion]

Man, using Sane Lancelot a lot for the red oni and I'm now starting to buy into his debuff a lot more. Not that I wasn't already but it really feels like a more 'ideal' version of a DoT in many cases. In an 'ideal case' scenario, hitting his NP twice in a row for Brave chains on both would generate 10k extra damage in total. If you can charge his NP a third time and do yet another set of Brave chain, that's 11k extra. That's 21k damage in a span of 3 turns where a normal DoT of the same value would clock in at 6k the turn after. On top of that, it means that, if you're purely just attacking, you're going to do 18k damage for the next two turns, 6k damage for the next turn and 3k damage for the turn after, totaling to 48k damage in a span of 5 turns versus what would've been just 15k from regular DoTs.

... I really want people to start petitioning/suggesting to DW for better DoTs.

Correct. Because we're talking purely 'limited Servants' after all.

Good lord you're right it was 7+Our welfare. Somehow I mis-counted... Does this mean we're getting another 7 and another welfare though. God summer is going to be cruel.
