>Playing Genso Wanderer >They translated Rumia's

lu is an acceptable translation for ル.

Anyway, why are you quoting?

Honestly, I don't know why I'm quoting, it just seemed like the right thing at the time.

It's wrong, but it's not like the pronunciation is different, unless you're a dumb idiot giving the Ru/Lu/ルー in her name a hard "roo" sound similar to like you'd say the word "room".

Rumia's name is a corruption of Illuminate, in a form of irony on her being a youkai of darkness so it's -technically- to technically it as Lu instead of Ru, even though it's been officially spelled as Ru.

You're sort of nitpicking anyway, there are probably worse things in that translation you haven't seen, and worse translations that still run around in the western Touhou community (Flan's name, Marisa's texas accent, Inchling).
The best thing you could actually be doing is learning Japanese and indulging in Touhou the way it's meant to be.

>>16772683
If you knew even a bit of Japanese, you would see that the exact English name is of no consequence, because only the Japanese matters.

This. This. This.
Though I am not sure about inchling. She's literally called a "small person," which is very vague in the context of western mythology, but she is the descendant of the "One Cun Priest" (一寸法師), or more commonly called the "One Inch Boy" (Cun becoming an inch is understandable, the latter part I can't comment on). From that you can clarify the contact, and an "inchling," IMHO, both conveys a surprising precision (precision does not equal accuracy, though) while being instantly intelligible.

The worst example of a simply incorrect mistranslation I've seen, which was not corrected for quite awhile, is
>明日ハレの日、ケの昨日
Which has several blatant mistranslations, and really needs a longer explanation for 晴れ and 褻.

The worst thing is that OP spend 49,99 on a 3 year old fangame.

The problem with using Inchling instead of just keeping it as Kobito makes things inconsistent with terms we usually use anyway in English anyway (Oni, Youkai, Tsukumogami, Amanojaku, Kappa and so on).

It doesn't really make sense to translate that anyway since I don't believe such a thing as "Inchling" has much presence in western mythology.
It would make more sense just keep it as Kobito for that.

In translation at times I think there has to be some self-awareness and knowledge of the community you're translating for.

Lumia may be technically correct, but it misses the mark if you're hoping to engage the fans most likely to buy the product, rather than introducing this disconnect of sorts between what they know and your game.

And because Rumia is also correct but already accepted and even officially acknowledged in some capacity it's just, well, an unnecessary change.

I don't think it's really a deal breaker, but it gives the impression the producer isn't a fan and doesn't really care all that much. And if they don't care, why should I?

>>16772683

What other awful shit does it have? I'm morbidly curious.

>>16777633
It's NISA, so it's a given that the entire script is awful.

>>16772683
Lumia makes sense though.

>>16777615
Ay yai yai, I'm a little butterfly

Like said numerous times above, Lumia while wrong is still acceptable.


Both the names "Flandre" and "Maribel" are still the worst accepted name translations in the Western fandom. Maribel especially.

>>16779308
How did Maribel even come about in the first place? At least Flandre has some room for confusion; Maribel is just easily plain wrong.

Just older, rough translations that linger even now. It's just been integrated long enough that it would be hard for most to accept change, unless ZUN ever does release an English spelling of her name.

>>16772683
How is it though? It just seems like a Mystery Dungeon-type.

For Lumia, it sounds close to 'lumen' or 'lumiere' which means 'light' and that contradicts with her being a dusk youkai, which kinda adds to the idea that EoSD is supposed to be a deochi. For Rumia, it's mostly just people saying that it's a real European name which fine since EoSD is supposed to have a European feel to it because it's a deochi.

Personally, I don't think this is that big of a deal since Eastern and Little Nature Deity even translated her name as Lumia before it was later revised to Rumia.

I liked Yami no Rumia which is a Kirby-like fangame.
http://korcs.info/game/yamirumi/

I also found a neat Rumia-themed IWBTG/Owata-like game called "Why does Rumia keep dying? There is no special reason, just because." but it only has one level and probably isn't that fun.

Is there a trick to getting this game to run? I downloaded the latest version from the website, extracted the zip and clicked on "game.exe", but it just comes up with a gibberish error message, similar to the ones when you try to run the Japanese version of Touhou games.

>>16776996
There's also that zelda clone with Rumia.

I think it's called "The legend of twilight".

So does this game have classic roguelike elements to it like perma death etc?

I don't want a super easy one.

So how is the game actually? I'm debating buying a ps4 to get some games and the touhou ones are on the top of my list.

>>16783383
If it's anything like the previous installations, then dying results in a mission fail and you'll be back at the nexus. Meaning no permadeath

>>16783116
Use Japanese locale.

>>16783432
Aw thats too bad, thanks though anon.

I'll probably still get it for my vita.

>>16781283
But "a" can be a prefix to negate something, so Lumia can be interpreted as 'light negate'.

Yeah, the game needs to be played in Japanese locale. I think you could get Locale Emulator (xupefei) or AppLocale to run it if you don't feel like changing it manually.

>>16776986
Greentexting?

You mean meme arrows yes?

>>16783986
There really isn't any reason not to use Japanese locale, especially when programs like AppLocale often won't do the job. In all the years I've had it set the only issues I've had with it is Ragnarok Online getting fucked colours and a few programs defaulting to Japanese.

>>16784262
>meme arrows
You mean quotation chevrons, here used to quote (you)?

>>16784520
Some applications will straight up refuse to load if you don't have the right locale.
And many require the locale to point at the correct font to make text readable.

Have you tried re-downloading the file under Japanese locale? What file archiver (e.g. WinZip, 7zip, etc.) are you unpacking it with, and what version? Is the folder called "闇のルーミアver1.10" or is it just mojibake?

I'm sure it's possible for the files to get corrupted when you download it. The best I could do is provide a mirror ( https://gofile.io/?c=6vX83O ) but if that doesn't work, I got nothing else. Personally, I just use Japanese locale for everything.
