Gare plays Tales of Destiny: Director's Cut (PS2 remake)*
UPDATE: Yes, as you might've guessed, this project is dropped indefinitely. Mostly because I'm not entirely sure how fun this is for viewers who don't know any Japanese. Probably not fun at all.I mean, you'd have to read a whole bunch of text and watch a video at the same time. And making video annotations is still too much of a pain in the ass. Bottom line, following this LP would probably be tedious as fuck for most of you, so I've decided not to continue with it for the time being.
So, this might very well be a project I'll never finish, but I'm not the sort of person who'd lose sleep over an unfinished LP project on the internet, so yeah. Why the hell not.
As I explain in the first video, this is pretty much a full remake of Tales of Destiny on the PSX. Graphics, battle system, overall gameplay, pretty much everything is improved and re-designed. There's also full voice acting. I consider it one of the best Tales games ever, and it's also among my all-time favourite JRPGs. Since the game was never released outside Japan, I'll be posting the important dialogue bits in text format, using the script translation site found here. All credit goes to the actual translators, obviously. I'm just doing this for fun and out of love for the game, so no hard feelings, okay?
I know, the ideal format would be to post subtitles as annotations, but that is time-consuming as fuck. So how about no.
The main format of the LP will be some text + screenshots and the occasional video of the more important bits. Each video will be accompanied by a translation of the relevant parts of the story/script (in spoiler tags), so you understand what's going on, although I do try to comment on/translate some things. I won't record myself grinding through a dungeon and solving its puzzles - that'll be a few screenshots and text. What I'll record is the cutscenes, bossfights, some battles and some exploration as well, when we arrive at a town for the first time. Since this is the introduction of the game, I ended up recording a bit more footage than I had originally intended. Which means there won't be any screenshots... yet.
Alright, let's begin!
...in the next post!
