Anyone knows how to use the update patch for
Eiyuu Densetsu Gagharv Trilogy: Umi no Oriuta?
Inside the zip file, there is only a readme, setupexe and ED5_WIN.EXE.
I owned the DVD version. Found only ED5_XP.EXE in the game folder. How to update it?

Are the localizations of these games as bad as I've heard, that is, babelfish bad? If it is, does it render to game unplayable? I keep seeing these when I visit the gamestore my friend works at... they're like 10 bux each used... but I dunno if it's even worth that if I won't know what's going on. He let me pop one of them into the stores PSP to try out, and from the 10 minutes of the intro I played nothing seemed to horribly bad, but ... I don't know.  |

I'm also curious to know just what is so wrong with the PSP localizations of the Gagharv Trilogy. I've sought out all of the games already since they are cheap enough, and I'm all set to play them as soon as I can afford a PSP, but I've heard nothing but bad reviews about them.
I figure, even if they are not all that great, they would at least give me the gist of the what each of the game is/was supposed to be about and then my "Real" experience with LoH III-V on PC, will be all the more spectacular I'm guessing since I will already be familiar with the characters and general plot elements of each game.

That ... is pretty bad. More insidious, indeed. The start of Tear of Vermillion certainly left me thinking it wasn't nearly as bad as people were making it out to be. Gotta wonder how they can get away with that. Not just the babelfish, but the bastardizing of the battle system. Was it deemed to complex for American and European audiences? And even worse than all that, destroying the franchise name in the process! Sora no Kiseki looks amazing and the soundtracks, especially to the 3rd, just make me want to play them all the more. Shame that it'll never see the light of day on western shores. =/
Blargh, I say. Blargh!

Well that definitely clarifies why the English versions of LoH are not well received by most Falcom fans who have played the originals in Japanese. I really wish I could read Japanese better, but doing that takes a lot of time and more importantly, constant practice.
Still, it is so puzzling how they could release something that is babelfish bad. I mean I've heard of translators translating a cat's meow in Suikoden II as "Sonya", which happens to be a character's name in Suikoden I, but I've never seen anything quite as bad as the line you mentioned above.
Come to think of it, I recall reading a review from you Wyrdwad prior to the game's release that focused on it being a positive thing that English speaking players would finally get an opportunity to play the trilogy in English. I'm guessing that overall they messed all of that up pretty hardcore then to see read this aftermath review of the game now.
Thanks for explaining it in more detail.

The worst translation was the first one (Tear of Vermillion), but it went better and better with each game. I can't even remember where the translation was confusing, so I guess it was nothing major to understand the full story (of each game).
Of course, you shouldn't forget that english isn't my native language. Still, I've noticed that the english was quite poor in some parts than the english I'm used to read in games or books, but I think it's better than nothing. Of course, if you're an aesthete, you'll be greatly disappointed.

I remember they offered it once last year. All 3 (Vista versions) in a weekly special. In fact, I think we did talk about it in one of the posts of the Falcom Weekly Special thread. I remembered not ordering it because I wanted to buy the limited edition XP versions in Akihabara one day... that did not come to pass because I bought way too much in Japan during my trip...

I played a little of ED3 (PC version) and it was pretty okay. It seemed a little slow-paced for me, but I have a feeling I barely started. However my PC had to go and die, which caused me to to lose my saves >___<
Does anyone have a game save at around Chapter... 3 (or 2)? It's around the time when you finally get a third character in your party and when you're trying to stop that sea creature from destroying towns (or something).
Or maybe it's so early I should just replay from the beginning? o__o

He let me pop one of them into the stores PSP to try out, and from the 10 minutes of the intro I played nothing seemed to horribly bad, but ... I don't know. I'm about halfway through A Tear of Vermillion now, and it's definately not babelfish bad. It's full of spelling errors, incorrect tense's, plurals, added suffixes, but it's not unplayable. I haven't had any trouble understanding what is going on. So it's been midly amusing. It sad to see so much in officially translated games. I mean they misspelled Vermillion on the title screen, but you've probably seen worse translations in the 8 and 16 bit eras. The one thing that I've noticed as being babelfish bad is every time you gain a new ability the message says something like: Avin Stone Blast Has Mastered If you are interested in them, get them. The only people that really seem to hate them are the people that have played them in Japanese, because the know how watered down the games are from their original versions. The general consensus among English speaking players seems to be that they are solid, but very generics jrpgs, that don't do anything to stand out. From what I can what makes them stand out was literally lost in translation. Avin |
