Carpe Fulgur Picks Out Third Japanese Indie Project
- Thread starter Tom Goldman
- Start date
So you just look at a game, make up what happens in it and then write it off? Top notch stuff that.leet_x1337 said:
I feel like Carpe Fulgar is really sticking to their mission, which is obviously to carry great games across oceans so a new group can enjoy them. If they make tons of money doing it, is there any better outcome? One, they're highly motivated to pick out more and better games to localise. Two, they have the actual capital to invest in their projects.
There are a lot of good indie JRPGs out there, to my understanding.
Unfortunately, I can't read Japanese...sooooo...playing them is not really possible for me.
More need localization!

Lol of course we are! So where can I sign up for both to preordericyneesan said:I think I know what everyone else is thinking!
Looks fun and can't wait
These guys have hit an untapped niche as far as translated JRPG's on the PC go. I can't really think of a whole lot of them that are on the PC, in English at least. I really did like Recettear, I really thought I'd hate it too.
I will buy these.
I bought Recettear purely on a whim during the sales and fell in love with the game.
Carpe Fulgur has my money. I'm eager to support localisations of Japanese games, especially when it's handled as well as it was with Recettear.
CAPITALISM, HO!

Recettear does have a full action-RPG dungeon crawl side to it, which is about half the game at the start and pretty much the entire end game content. Also it's not an all female cast, there's an even male/female split among the adventurers you recruit.leet_x1337 said:
Anyways, as for Fortune Summoners I don't know... it will be a battle between wanting to play a good side scrolling JRPG, I've always been a big Wonderboy fan, against my reluctance to get into anything that has to do with the Japanese/Japanophile's current obsession with little girls. I mean seriously it's creepy. I've got no problem with the 'cute little sister' character cliche that have been around anime/manga for the longest time, and a game like Recettear is fine when you interact with a larger cast, but it seems like half the so called 'Seinen' category (mature male) of anime/manga these days are stories about little girls. Seriously what the hell is up with that?
Fix'd. Nintendo of Europe's is translating JRPGs like there's no tomorrow, with Xenogears, The Last Story and now Pandora's Tower confirmed to be heading west. I have no idea why Nintendo of America isn't just nicking the translations, unless people are allergic to having extra vowels in their words.Triggerhappy938 said:
Hmmm... a cross between The Lost Vikings, Seiken Densetsu 3 and Ys with a lot more emphasis on cute little girls. Actually, it looks more interesting and unique than Chantelise from my perspective.
I'd also love to see Yahtzee review this game even if I end up liking it and he tears the game to shreds.

and they never wanna localize any RPG ever anymore just because Earthbound failed, despite the fact that it's got quite an active fanbase over here AND the fact that, since they practically print money, they certainly must haz cash to spare ><Delusibeta said:
Enjoyed the heck out of reccetear, I'm sure these will be winners too, but what is that man doing wearing Kraft Lawrence's clothes?
Talk about twice shy. And apparently a couple dozen more times on top of that.
Earthbound failed? And yet it did that so long ago...Kytseo said:

speaking of Earthbound, the sad thing is that they could've just spent about $200 or so buying out the Mother 3 fan translation for a western releaseGhengis John said:Enjoyed the heck out of reccetear, I'm sure these will be winners too, but what is that man doing wearing Kraft Lawrence's clothes?

Imo Fortune Summeners is one of the best text heavy doujins. I cant wait to play it.
As for anyone wanting a touhou localisation, it aint happening, ZUN the creator of the games doesnt want it commercialising or exporting, same goes for the lions share of other games as they all are fan games using anothers IP.
However what titles do remain there are some really good examples. Eg Desparisio, Yotsubanes Crimson Clover, Ether Vapor (hi res remake), Corpse Party and tons more

You're talking about Nintendo of America. I'm talking about Nintendo of Europe here. Hell, they have an microsite up for Xenoblade [http://www.nintendo.co.uk/NOE/en_GB/games/wii/xenoblade_chronicles_32583.html] already. Apparently one of the reasons for this burst in activity is them winding back on translating non-Nintendo published games.Eric the Orange said:
