Ys IV

[escarioth]

wah ! that game translation , Short movies, classic gameplay and
add a cherry on top for those dubs.
.....
its freaking heaven   

i'm quite amazed . . .  seriously Nightwolve you really worked hard on that one. 

i just wanted to take a peek before starting back the 3 others games. 
now i feel bad, i want to play right away   
curse my own curiosity i should have waited until i was ready to start it.

just finished this one two weeks ago. The translation efforts were really something - I don't think I've ever played another fan translation that seemed to be as much as a labor of love as this. Really amazing stuff. PCE community is the best

the game itself is a lot of fun too - just don't be like me and forget to get the heal ring the first time it's available or else you have to wait until near the end of the game to pick it up again. I think it's fairly soon afterwords but still

ooh thanks for the tip
ill be cautious

I'm playing through this now and about like 25 - 30% done and I have to say I am crazy impressed with the the dub and translation!  Everyone did an amazing job!

[geise]

Yeah, Nightwolve did an outstanding job with Ys IV.  Lets also not forget Burnt lasagna and the people he had doing the dub for this game.

Thanks escarioth, glad you enjoyed it! It was my dream to see it fully in English one day after buying it from TZD in 1996 and getting stuck on that white knight (who won't let you back in the castle until you learn you must equip your 1st level equipment), never thought I'd actually lead the effort one day to make that happen!

It's literally the biggest project I ever managed, multiple programmers (myself included), translators, and then even more recruitment/management for voice acting, etc. Hard to believe it's now 99% English, minus the credits roll of the Japanese Hudson development staff, but that's minor and hardly anyone cares.

Great topic and thank you so much for your efforts, NightWolve.

This reminded me to send a donation your way, which everyone can do by going to NightWolve's site. The amount of effort and quality of work, while I know a labor of love, deserves some compensation from the community.

Thanks again.

i have yet to play xak III too.
but YS first.

and yep , donations are always on my to-do list.
especially if its fan work. Its important to show the love for those hard working fans.
sadly, many prefer taking everything and not give anything in return,
but not all of them

I said before, but I probably will again: Thanks Nightwolve! I had an Ys Marsthon this year as well. IV is so fantastic!

I'm currently playing Shovel Knight on Wii U.

Shovel Knight is pretty freaking awesome.  It strikes a pretty good balance of being challenging without being unfair, or cheap.
