Lacrima Castle _ Gungnir _ Gungnir won't be in English?

Posted by: Archeia Dec 12 2011, 12:22 PM

I was just wondering if anyone heard about it? I tried to wait but nothing happened. Is this because the PSP console is "dead" in NA?

If that's so then does this mean we'd either have to wait/start a fan translation ?

We'd start one.

I have no idea how to hack the game, but I wouldn't mind working on it.

Posted by: Archeia Dec 12 2011, 07:15 PM

I'll try extracting the text from the game itself so to you know, get started at least.

May be some good news. Just got this from Atlus in a couple of hours ago:

Starts with a G? There's a good chance it could be Gungnir... Time to play the waiting game.

Next clue is that it ends with a R.

So it's either Gungnir or Growslanser.

this appeals to my laziness.

now what will appeal to my obsessiveness?

Posted by: chrishawke Dec 15 2011, 09:53 PM

Next hint: it's an SRPG.

So, yet again, it's gotta be either Gungnir or Growlanser.

dammit atlus

Walrus mentioned on IRC that another hint was that it's the http://gl4ol.atlusnet.jp/.

Good job though, Atlus. Usually campaigns like these are awfully transparent and you already know what the matter is after the first or second hint, but they really know how to keep up the tension here!

Posted by: Archeia Dec 18 2011, 03:53 PM

It's Growlanser according to its twitter page and the site now active :C

GUNGNIR TRANSLATION PROJECT GO!

I can't describe how much of a dick move it is to tease us so. Atlus = master trolls confirmed

Posted by: Walrus Dec 19 2011, 10:19 PM

Haven't seen anything about it being Growlanser, just people being slow on the hints. Fifth was "it's on the PSP" hurr durr. Next hint is supposed to be on facebook again.

Posted by: Raijinili Dec 20 2011, 02:25 AM

i will love it so much if it's both.

I just saw that atlususa posted gungir opening ;v;
so it is going to be in english aaaaa

Posted by: Raijinili Dec 22 2011, 02:00 PM

it's a dick move either way, getting people's hopes up like that. and targetting specific people.

Posted by: Raijinili Dec 22 2011, 02:04 PM

unless... it's still both!

Oh jeez, I should probably get around to trying Gungnir out.

Posted by: P.P.A. Dec 22 2011, 07:47 PM

YAAAAAAAY

Also I am happy that Growlanser IV will be released as well. Having felt the disappointment when the misinformation that it would not be Gungnir surfaced, it's good that the Growlanser fans don't have to go through it as well.

Posted by: Raijinili Dec 23 2011, 02:09 AM

To be clear, there's no proof that Growlanser is coming out. It's just a G, yo.

edit: omg it's chilly all up in here.

Posted by: Raijinili Jan 23 2012, 10:42 AM

growlanser announced a few days ago without a second clue. laaaame. they promised a clue.

Posted by: Crazycolorz5 Feb 15 2012, 12:14 AM

Are there good chances of it being ported from the PSP to the DS or 3DS?

Posted by: Raijinili Feb 17 2012, 04:01 AM

no.

there's a very minor chance of it being ported to the 3ds.

Posted by: Cosmo Mar 8 2012, 04:57 PM

Excited about this game's localization, I was. I was thinking of the possibility of it being ported to the 3DS after its initial PSP release. That might be a fun change of pace, what with all the other Dept. Heaven games being ported to the PSP instead.

Maaaybe I should have waited a bit before preordering it for the PSP and planning to buy a PSP on release day. Well, according to this, the 3DS version may or may not be translated and it's still a long way off buuut... whatever reference that.
