Strategy SP - Question & Answer thread

--- Quote from: Codesterz on November 18, 2011, 06:22:25 am ---1. I was wondering if there are any drawbacks to avoiding audition invitations from 961 and if so what are they? According to tlwiki's translation he will pay you back for turning down his offer especially in the end.

Lastly Bandai can suck my nuts only releasing 1 of 4 Tales games in the US I'd smack them if I could. Sorry about being so rude but I'm am so sick of the treatment they give to us in America. They don't even need to waste their money on English dubs I prefer the original Japanese voices.

If you just ignore them, nothing happens. There are some accessories that you can only get by doing the rival auditions, and you get a lot of fans for doing them iirc, but if you don't do any of them, Kuroi isn't going to do beans to you.
Also, I think that NBGI NA-division (or whatever it is) is waiting for them to release the souped-up re-releases of stuff. Tales of Graces F is being translated.
I'm pretty sure they didn't do Tales of Vesperia PS3 because they did all the work and then would have to translate it more, record more voice, etc.
So after that, they probably decided to just wait them out. I don't know about Xillia, though. I've heard that US/NA release has been hinted at.
Then again, that's just my guess...I don't follow the Tales series that closely. I've only done Symphonia & Vesperia. But, it would make sense if the English-translating division did wait for the re-releases if they expect them, since not everyone wants to buy the same game twice and it saves them effort.
Codesterz:
Okay thanks for the help. This means I can stop quitting every time I see 961 Mail which has been getting more and more common lately. Now I only have to keep quitting every time I get the morning greeting incorrect. I'm to much of a perfectionist when it comes to things like this.
Yeah I can't wait for Graces F to release out here. I still have some hopes for Xillia as someone found some file endings of SDBENG(though currently are empty) and the files ending with SDBJPN is where all the Japanese text for the game is held. I also have some hopes for Tales of Innocence as it is being remade for the Vita. But then again none of the PSP remakes made it to the US so my hopes aren't to high on this one.

Correct answer is pretty much random, like the answers right before an audition, so I recommend saving your sanity.

It's either 3 or 5 iirc. They'll take the highest scorer of the round for each appeal and add 3 points.
--- Quote from: Codesterz on November 18, 2011, 06:22:25 am ---@BT2 I think so long as you don't live in Japan pirating this game should be A-OK. They obviously didn't want other people's money otherwise they'd actually have the game localized for them.

Not implying that I don't actually pirate games, but still I fail to comprehend why you're implying that it's okay to pirate a foreign region-free game. Also think about it, even if bumco localises the game it'd be too niche to actually sell, thus making them lose money rather than making some.
--- Quote from: Codesterz on November 18, 2011, 06:22:25 am ---Also cfws are awesome have you not seen all the great homebrew applications out there.

And someone completely missed the point.
Let's start from the start shall we.
- LiNa_chan seems to have problems saving and the game keeps jumping back to the main menu.
- iM@S SP uses a rarely used, though easy to circumvent, anti-piracy check that blocks the usage of isos and cfws, making the game loop to the main menu
- BT2 says: Stop pirating the game or stop using those silly cfws like that.
- "using like that" implies there are ways to get it to work, but BT2 didn't feel like explaining how
- Forums Rule 6: No piracy. Thus making it the only answer I could give.
Codesterz:
1. Once again I have some questions. Why do you sometimes lose or gain stats based on changing trends? Do you gain stats when the new top trend is what your highest stat is maybe?
2. There is an audition called Vocal Master I can't pass. Right now my Voice thanks to my current song choice is pretty much maxed out but I can't gain any stars for Vocals despite putting more points into vocals than anything else. Why? Does your idol rank maybe affect point gains as well? As my rank is only D and most of the contestants seem to be C to A.
@BT2 I don't think they made the SP games for the because the PSP because it was region free. That is something they have no say in. Both Fate/Extra and Record of Agarest War did pretty good in the US and neither one of those games wasted money on English dubs. This should be more than enough info to say that Idolm@ster or Tales of games could sell well with only text translation thus greatly decreasing the budget needed to localize these games. I'm pretty certain they could at least make their money back. The problem is that if they aren't making at least 4 times their money back they see it as a waste of time and money. I despise the greed of the current gaming industry. As for the cfws I suppose I did miss the point. Nobody is perfect in the end.
