What if Link was to come out subtitled in English?
What if Link was to come out subtitled in English?
What would you think if Link came out in English, but was subtitled? To be a bit more clear the voices are in Japanese, but the text is all in English. This way we could have an idea of what is going on, and what to do. I guess it would be a bit awkward, but awesome at the same time. I wouldn't care if they release it like that. It would be much faster to just translate the text instead of finding voice actors.

Re: What if Link was to come out subtitled in English?
I would be happy enough with it. After all if Link (and GU as well) ever had an option of choosing between the English and Japanese voices, i'd choose the Japanese one (with the English text, of course).
However, i don't think they'll release it like that. They'll either release it with full English VA in the whole game...or don't release it at all ;/

Re: What if Link was to come out subtitled in English?
Well, actually this is what I've been expecting.
It's on the PSP, and it's only one game (not one in a continuous series like IMOQ and G.U.), so going all out on a voice cast for English localization seems almost too much. Simple translation seems best and really, as nice as it would be to hear the characters in English, I could live with Japanese VO just fine.
And Trilogy was released without English VO, so it's not like there's no precedent for this (especially since Trilogy would have been simple to dub what with the games already having English VOs)
The fact that NB hasn't done even this yet basically screams "Localization's not happening".
Accepted and moving on, crying myself to sleep over what I'm missing.

Either way I hope we can at least get Link.
Re: What if Link was to come out subtitled in English?
I would buy a text translation.

For the game? However much a PSP game costs. (30-40 dollars or so?)Kuukai wrote:....How much?ReiMehari wrote:I would buy a text translation.
I mean, they sell the Yakuza games here in Japanese, but with English sub. I figure .Hack//Link would be similar, if they were to go that route.
Re: What if Link was to come out subtitled in English?
If the game did get released, I sure hope it would be bundles with the historical disk along with the bonus stuff
I don't have a Psp, so i'll have to buy one if it did come out...
Lets not forget it's been over a whole year now since .hack//link,
A few more months and I've given up

I lost most of my hope at this point.
Re: What if Link was to come out subtitled in English?
I just wish Link would get SOMETHING. Subtitles work for me. I want this game so badly... I'd be willing to do just about anything to get it localized.

The time and effort it takes to learn Japanese is plenty. It's a demanding job, though I'm pretty sure .hack is worth it

Tried it. It was a long and arduous journey I began in like middle school. I read TV Tokyo websites about this cool upcoming show Love Hina. But it turned out to be a pretty good time investment...Kaori wrote:has anyone here ever thought of trying to learn Nihongo instead?
Re: What if Link was to come out subtitled in English?
I'm really Interested in learning Japanese ! but it's because there is only One University in my country where they teach it and it's far from my city... however i tried to show some motivations in front of Ebooks downloaded from the Net, but i end up loosing interests after 3 or 4 days every time i try to learn it...
