Western release probably never.

We can only hope

This is the "offline" version of nosurge isn't it? Without the barcode scanning bullshit?

Yes. It's only offline version.
And what bullshit you talking about?

Part of the game is to get Sharls in your room(?). You get them by scanning barcodes.
Kind of like, uhh, what was the monster collection toy back in the day that used similar method.

That's a day before my 23rd birthday. You're welcome.

these fucking things

Think monster rancher but instead cd you use barcodes for sharl

Thanks. Was it really that bad?
I mean now we probably would have loot boxes here.

I haven't heard people complain about it though. And I think the community has some kind of collection of working JP barcodes somewhere.

But that said, obviously that thing wont work with Ciel Nosurge DX. How are you going to scan shit with PS4 for example? They need to replace it with something but we don't know what.

>How are you going to scan shit with PS4 for example?
By typing numbers directly.

Aaaaaah, good point. Yeah that's obvious. Kind of a pain maybe but it would get the job done.

Being on Steam increases the chances of translation

>There's actually only a 50/50 chance this will get a international release.

I'm still mad they shown nothing at TGS despite hiring Ion seiyuu to stream for a whole day

Same.

you had how many years since ar tonelico came out to learn nihongo and you did nothing?
you deserve your shitty gaming life desu.
i have been practicing my moon rune knowledge on VNs for years now.
i'm gonna be playing Blue Protocol on jp servers, while you'll have to use google translate to figure out what items and equipment is good, or what skills do.
stay in your weeb hole forever desu.

Sadly this method has no high tech feel.
When I seen discord's qr login I was amazed. It was literally that "this is the future! " thing.

Fuck you I'm currently learning

They was kind of interested in western release, but this game has a lot of text so my hopes is low.

If they're on PC, someone will just port the official and fan translations and everyone will just pirate the game.

The fan translation isn't done though

The barcode scanning is still present in Offline.

Can you blame them with the ridiculous number of texts Ciel has?

And that's a good thing.

>steam
You reckon?
Steam seems like something you'd only bother with if you were releasing internationally.

KT also released a game only in Japanese through Steam though.

Well shit. Which one as a matter of interest?
I know someone dumped all those old Nobunaga's Ambition things on steam completely untranslated (was that TK?); I like to think they couldn't get away with that for a modern title, but you could be 100% right.

Motherfucker am i going to have to buy ar no surge a third time? They better fix the fucking hymn level slot thing

is the first game translated yet?

Yeah that's the ones I was thinking of (holy fuck there are a lot), but as I said I don't think they could get away with not localising a modern title.

Probably no way this would happen but I'd be hyped if they released these in the West on Xbox. Gonna wait and see, if not I'll just get Ar Nosurge on my Vita.
