An Oprainfall editor plays a Japanese only game trying to see if he can find context for a game in a language he can't understand.
Oprainfall writes: "Of all the genres in gaming, I would think the RPG would be the hardest of all to cope with in another language. But it’s also the one I’m the most familiar with. Role-playing games tend to follow certain tropes. There are themes I’m used to seeing in any given story and game mechanics I’ve encountered in hundreds of different games. While I knew the story’s breadth would be lost on me, since it’s written in a language I have zero experience with, I went into Soma Bringer thinking I could, perhaps, fumble my way to the credits somehow."
Michibiku's Graham Russell plays Soma Bringer.
The oprainfall staff select the 10 games they would like to see release outside of Japan one day.
Nintendo should have a DS Imports section akin to Sony's PS1 Imports, and titles like Ouendan 2, Soma Bringer, Jump Ultimate Stars and Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland should be in it.
Luckily there's a complete fan translation patch for this game.
Excellent game.
And while it's an interesting experiment, just get the translation patch.
it's like Mother and Mother 3
pre-fantranslations.
