Oh it is ass. I got that covered.
If you replaced the sucky stuff like Ancient Species, notions, big hole, energy and the people die if they get killed logic it would be a start.
Also replace the «...» with color, cursive or even quotationmarks would be a major improvement.
Pretty sure they won't touch the main dialogue besides that. We should have send in the whole script!

Less is moreIt's pretty mild considering the start of the game
They said they would be having a new team come onto the project to go over the localization again, which implies that they hadn't started yet as of the announcement. Additionally, I don't think they would have bothered at all if it weren't for the fact that JP sites started reporting on how bad the localization was - and that was shortly before they issued their announcement.
I do expect that they won't have time to actually fix much, though - they'll probably go after specific ones that are commonly cited as examples, like you said.

Very true, but it was still very LOL inducing considering...

Question, is it wrong to give the wrong gifts to the wrong girls? I gave my homie Laxia the teddy bear and I gave the silver hairclip to Catherine.

Is this even possible? I thought the gifts are only compatible with specific people

You can only give gifts to people who want them. Laxia actually puts that stuffed pikkard up on display in the room

Oh cool, phew, their reactions were just a little weird. They were like "why me, I'm not a little girl" and the item wasn't highlighted when I selected it to give them, but hey, I donlt mind spoiling the ladies a little. Now I just need to find something appropriate to give to Nia.

The only thing that drives me nuts about the game is the map directions...
I just got the
and see the spot on the map, but there is no path to get there.....

Pull out the area map. Also you can just ignore cannon fodder.

I found it... I actually spawned at the correct point, but went in the direction of the yellow arrow, which is completely wrong....
Either way, I just found
Mishy!

Not sure if there's anything that nullifies status effects late late game, but the way gear works is that it just delays the bar that fills before the status effect kicks in. Nothing you have for the majority of the game prevents any status effect from occurring
I've beat it on Inferno w/out using items. It takes a lot of patience. You basically need to not get hit and then zerg the hell out of the second phase.
what does zerg means? stay away from him?
Kill it ASAP or die.

When he does his phase swap roar dont be near it, otherwise stay away from it's butthole and go to town
You can probably gain a few levels off the big monsters outside shortly before really quickly as well

So who's your favorite party member to use?
Unlike Seven and especially Celceta I'm having trouble even tiering them based on effectiveness in this game, at least as of the first quarter of chapter 5. I like everyone so much and switch frequently to mix up the experience.

Beat the game
Have a save before each boss
Ys games usually have a boss rush/select mode if you beat the game. Except Seven..

I mixed up my party members frequently, often to save healing iems in dungeon.
My favourite probably Adol-Laxia-Sahad.

VIII does have a boss rush/select mode.

Cool. Thanks, I'm new to the series.
Okay, I am in Chapter 6 and I can't believe that
you STILL are finding castaways after all the time that has passed on the island. While you and the other villagers have been struggling like anything against a very hostile environment, these castaways spend weeks sitting around wearing the same clothes, never starving, never getting eaten (I can't see how that artistic noble could make it so long without getting killed) and ready to address you like the ship sunk just a few days ago....C'mon Falcom, that defies belief.

Fast travel to save point at the end of the coral forest, walk out to the beach area where you found a castaway, head left from the exit and continue on.

Coming up on the end of Chapter 5
Luminous Dana dungeons kinda selling me on this solo Adol idea. Haven't had this much fun with an action game/platformer since Shinobi on the PS2
Been a long time in general such a long single player game has held my focus and interest like this. I was a little worried about the length and I can understand some of the pacing complaints but I've been loving every minute I've spent with this game. About to go into work and will be thinking about it for a good chunk of my shift lol

Well, im way behind you guys, but I still want to share my victory againat gragantura.
After at least 15 tries following the tips given here, I slowly was finding ways to improve damage, I left him at 1 pixel of hp, but he still destroyed me
Instantly I played arguably one of my finest boss battles in gaming history, were I even managed to remove him 75% of its total HP before going second phase, while parrying its charge. I beat him only using Hummel, but in the last frame, he died for the team
This is way Im loving this game, I feel that Im getting better while trying each boss fight.
Also, they made fishing something very fun

Just wrapped up the main story and got the True Ending. Great game, combat is a blast and the music is fucking amazing. Seriously award worthy sound track.
Some pretty bad writing and translation doesn't over shadow all of the fun I had playing this game. Everything you do in this game feels like it's making you stronger or giving you story that you want to know. Nothing felt like a waste of time and I never had to grind other than actually fighting my way through things.
This is the kind of stuff I want on my JRPG menu. No big budget shit shows like FF15.

Indeed, not sure how Mario and xeno will shake things up but so far Ys 8 is my personal GOTY
Ys8 - Hollowed Knight - Nioh - Cuphead - Nier auto
I really wish Nier was as challenging as Ys8 and for the most part the boss fights were pretty zzzz in comparison to ys and nioh with the game not typically maximizing what it wanted from you with it's combat system as tightly as Nioh and Ys does

I've given up on it, I really liked it the first time round but this version is a chore.
Too many spongey enemies and bosses with vastly inflated HP. I also discovered that you have to fight all the bosses again if you leave the dungeon, and there don't seem to be any warp points. Make sure you bring a lot of insect repellent if you're going to attempt it - I ran out where there are wasp's nests in the middle of a platforming area.

Looks like I'll wait until they patch this translation untill I play this game. They should sue or fire the translator who did this.
