Is it that bad?Let's hope someone makes a de-localization patch.
Yes. Its even worse if english isn't your first language.Is it that bad?
It feels like a joke translation, "bad" is an understatement here and unless you're familiar with British meme slang it quickly becomes a matter of "wait what the fuck is he actually trying to say here?"Is it that bad?
Better than My Little Taliban Can't Possibly Have a HemorrhoidMy little Al Qaeda can't possibly be this cute
I haven't actually played this but it sounds like this localization is like the jokes about the BotW localization that are like "Oi Link ya fookin wanker it's th' Bloodmoon" only actually existingIt feels like a joke translation, "bad" is an understatement here and unless you're familiar with British meme slang it quickly becomes a matter of "wait what the fuck is he actually trying to say here?"
It honestly wouldn't be HORRENDOUS if the MC weren't explicitly Japanese from the WW2 era.Is it that bad?
Not as weird as it seems, at least it could be worse. Meija era Japan had a big fascination with western culture, mostly because they saw it as the quickest way to modernize and gain power. As such they often hired foreign officers to train their troops to modern standards with most of them being from America or Britain. As such it isn't as asinine as you'd think that a WW2 pilot might've inherited some of the Queen's English from their training. The practice ended in 1889 so it's entirely possible for them to still have some mannerisms around.It honestly wouldn't be HORRENDOUS if the MC weren't explicitly Japanese from the WW2 era.
Because they were pretty extreme isolationists in regards to their culture and stuff. MC is using British slang and terms that the British Royal Air Force made for their army and absolutely not a single Japanese soldier would understand...any of it or use it. He also uses it constantly. It's not like a small reminder. It's as in your face as the German exchange students from Community.
This is the first visual novel I've dropped in the prologue. It's that bad.
And than there was the little thing called the Anglo-Japanese alliance that lasted up until 1923. So that makes the gap more like 20 years. So depending on how old the MC is and who his instructors were he might just have picked a bit up. Definitively not too much though.Not as weird as it seems, at least it could be worse.

Of course the plausibility of all this is quite stretched considering that there is a gap of 40+ years to account for. And I'm sure this is the exact logic the localization was going for despite how poor it sounds. Not a great look, I was tentatively looking forward to this VN and as I expected, they did not deliver. I guess I should've expected this from the company that still has yet to release Sharin no Kuni, 5 years after it's been fully translated.

Than again, we can also chalk these things up to translation. Would any of us understand the equivalent Japanese slang if it was just left in?
