Stuff about Cup of Tea

Huh...the more I know.

I need to ask. Who's been in charge of translating Tales games since Legendia and/or Abyss? Is it the same team or a new one each time? I can accept the whole Majinken->Demon Fang/Fist/Dog related stuff but...if they stayed constant in Graces, why change now?

Although I wouldn't complain if we can call Bruiser, Kongman now :3

I almost feel as though I'm the only one who has mixed preference when it comes to Japanese and English names. Some I prefer, some I don't.

Where is the whole Kor posted? It was on twitter or another site? And why did they revert it back to Kohaku? I'm guessing Jadeite is now Hisui, but what happened?

Edit: It was the twitter... and I love the answer xD

Don't worry, they probably will.

I can't stop associating Kor to Korra.

Shing is the new Avatar.

or Knight of Ratatosk...

Wat? Shing is going to be called Kor?

Kor Meteor

Also, the good thing is that we can change his name back. The bad thing is that we will keep hearing Kor from characters.

Someone tell them not to change his name to Kor please, it doesn't make any sense. *goes to kaji blog*

It's already set in stone, there's nothing to be done. =/

Kor sounds sexy.

But seriously, what does Kor even mean?

It's probably Cor(heart in latim) "englishized".

Or like throughhim said, "divined from a ouija board".

Innes = Aonghas(thx wikipedia)

Kunzite = Spodum

Beryl = Brille

Calcedony = Chalcedon

I actually like this one

So are there themes to these new names that I'm missing?

T.T only time will tell, the new names have already started growing on me and at least they both make some kind of sense! I went over some youtube videos to refresh myself (I own the game in JP but I have finals right now uwu) and I'm pretty excited again! I realize if you don't know that they summarized the robots' scene you won't really miss anything and I'm sure the hill scene is still really nice just not -as- impactful. I remembered all the stuff they did -right- and it was a lot, I really can't wait to experience it all in English <3 I can't wait to understand all the minute little details and the big ones, like all of the skits instead of just a random few!! I can't wait for Winter 2014 >_<

The things I'll always miss is Prena, the original way Kunzite and Anne's scenes played out, and the cut desert scenes but such is the way the cookie crumbles.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9dOZqkT28M Have the Mystic Arte exhibition to celebrate, Omegaevolution found a way to actually record it not on a video camera~ yey Vita Capture \ o /

A special guest appearance by Hubert and Pascal. Must be an exhibition match. Will they remember Amber?

Yup you group fight them in the Arena, as well for single matches, girls fight Hubert and guys fight Pascal iirc, it was something along those lines at least....I forget the pattern.

English screens are up! I really like the font.

The quality of the dialogue in the trailer seems fine. The names are a bit weird compare to what we're used to, but I'm less worried about the quality of the localization now.

Well, we've been waiting for a long time for this one.

OMG IT IS KOR METEOR! uheuhEUhuehuHEUheuHEUHeuhUEHuheuHEUhe

Well the trailer looks nice!

It's gonna be weird calling Shing Kor.

Font looks fine, name changes baffle me, doesn't matter. More Tales, a mite more stopping Vita bleeding.

That Mystic Arte video impresses me though, as though I suspect its because of the games DS origins, most of them look... how you call it, reasonable? Not a lot of comedy giant robots or magical explosions that have nothing to do with the rest of the move?

At least Shing's name rhymes now

I'm more bothered about Meteoryte-> Meteor than Shing->Kor, I'm happy with the screenshots and trailer though! They kept Inca's name too so it really might just be Kor and Kohaku who get a name change, though i have a feeling Jadeite is going back to Hisui
