Dialog in Genshin Impact is indistinguishable from anything you'd get in game produced in an English-speaking country, though, so when something feels like it might be a hint or a nuance or ironic foreshadowing I'm tending to go with it. Also there have been a couple of plot twists that suggests there's a lot going on that has yet to be explained, so I'm hopeful. Definitely one of the better-written games of its type that I've played, anyway, however the plot turns out.Bhagpusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499162165023939880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-38845529785983497352020-10-09T13:04:55.447+01:002020-10-09T13:04:55.447+01:00I also was immediately reminded of the Black Spiri...I also was immediately reminded of the Black Spirit by the first half of your post. :-)<br /><br />We'll play Genshin Impact for the first time after work today, very much looking forward to it.Mailvaltarhttp://mailvaltar.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-59108017578268709022020-10-08T22:44:50.873+01:002020-10-08T22:44:50.873+01:00I've never trusted fairies since a certain RGP...I've never trusted fairies since a certain RGP came out some years ago...<br />Also, how are we to know the Traveler (or rather, Travelers) are a benevolent force themselves? At least the PC seems nice enough, but "nice" doesn't mean "good," especially when you're talking about beings that can travel between dimensions seemingly at will. And even being morally good doesn't necessarily mean they leave the world as a better place than when they came, at the power scale that will fight gods for merely impeding their journey.TheRoyalFamilyhttp://datingsimsontheholodeck.home.blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-82492884599615543152020-10-08T21:56:22.467+01:002020-10-08T21:56:22.467+01:00Yeah, I was being kind of ironic, although I'm...Yeah, I was being kind of ironic, although I'm pretty sure whoever directed the voice acting would have to know Western gamers might not find the screeching all *that* endearing. It happens in almost every imported game I've played, though, so I have to assume it's popular with someone!<br /><br />The third-person dialog definitely does work for me, though. I've always found that cute. Well, either cute or terrifying, depending on the context.Bhagpusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499162165023939880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-47759108645657840622020-10-08T20:57:19.162+01:002020-10-08T20:57:19.162+01:00Oh, that's... very much not an alienation devi...Oh, that's... very much not an alienation device.

Other than that it's probably the best translation I've seen - just about flawless in idiom and expression, as is the voice work. <br /><br />I kind of wax and wane on Paimon - sometimes I find her endearing, other times I wish you could swat her like an annoying fly. That in itself is a tribute to how well-realised she it, I think. About the one thing I would change about her and indeed about many of the characters is the pitch of the voices. I find it hard to believe some of them haven't been speeded up, Chipmunks style. I'd like an option to change the pitch to something less grating.Bhagpusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499162165023939880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-26225100302136341742020-10-08T18:10:50.547+01:002020-10-08T18:10:50.547+01:00Interesting thoughts.

I know she (Paimon) irritates me! <br /><br />The only thing I wonder is whether the name derivation is different in the original Chinese? Since the names seem to have survived translation relatively intact.Jacobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01876589555069743292noreply@blogger.com
