SoWL Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 Hey, why not, we already got two (three?) time travelers in the story.
Tokkan Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 http://www.ggxrd.com/rev/ac/character/ramlethal.htmlIt's cool that they went to the trouble of rewriting parts of Ramlethal's profile and changing her quote, but why didn't they change her precious thing(s) from "none" to "Danny Missiles burger"? Kappa
Angry Guy of DE Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 I think it would be more like "Things x Character Likes" than what is precious.That dog was precious to Ram, the hamburger was delicious.What I would've liked to see was Slayer likes being like this...Likes: Sharon, Haikus, Pile Bunkers.
LockedAndClush Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 http://www.ggxrd.com/rev/ac/character/jack.htmlHaha, Jack-O' hasn't been born yet.Okay, so...Jack-O' is really Aria from an alternative timeline. This timeline is the one in which That Man's experiment with Justice failed, creating a way for the Universal Will to enter the world. As there was no Justice for it to interface through, it sent the Black Beast, creating the BlazBlue universe with it (which later looped infinitely, slowly adding distinct details and removing GG characters from its history). Aria was turned immortal and her memories were erased, and she became Jack-O' in the year 2190 or later. That Man caused some weird rip in time-space-continuum that caused Jack-O' to become a part of the Guilty Gear universe before the time she was actually meant to be born in it and boom, we have a setup for the GGxBB crossover. Just doing Mori's work here. Yes, I am obviously joking lol
Blade Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 Minor localization tidbit you guys may not know:Any time in the story the "Universal Will" is referred to they actually mean 慈悲なき啓示 [Jihi naku Keiji] which translates to "Merciless Apocalypse", so they are in fact referring to the same thing.Also worth noting, "Jihi naku Keiji" can also be translated as "Revelator without Mercy".In the recent trailer, "That Man" says:"Jihi naku Keiji no Kodomo Hayai"(The Children of the Merciless Apocalypse are moving fast)So it's not referring to the Universal Will per se, but the "children" instead... in other words the Valentines, also known as:「慈悲なき啓示」の落とし子 ([Jihi naku Keiji] no Otoshiko)"Fell Child of the Merciless Revelator"(Or as they're referred to in GG2 Overture: "Illegitimate Children of a Merciless Apocalypse")The reason ARCSys decided to localize it as "Universal Will" probably has something to do with the idea that "Mother" is more of a consciousness or master program than a physical being.And the fact this thing existed before Gears were created (the Dawn of Revival in 1999), suggests it's existed since time immemorial.@Tokkan, can you get me the raw text of that bio entry for Jack-O', I'm not so good at eyeballing JP text when it's in image format like that.
SoWL Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 In the recent trailer, "That Man" says:"Jihi naku Keiji no Kodomo Hayai"(The Children of the Merciless Apocalypse are moving fast)There are subtitles in the trailer, you know. He doesn't say "Kodomo", but "Koudou mo" (行動も), so Sourenga's translation is accurate.
Blade Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 (edited) Ah, I missed that, I wasn't following the JP subs and going by ear. My bad.Still, Merciless Apocalypse/Universal Will are interchangeable. Edited August 20, 2015 by Blade
Suzaku Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 Normally I'd put this in the Xrd news thread but I don't feel like doing the movelists. To be honest, I'll probably just abandon translating the official site for the most part, since they're translating everything for the English websites anyway. Jack-OCV: Hiromi Igarashi"Trick or treat!"One of That Man's three lieutenants. Because her awakening remains incomplete, she can't function without her mask and toffee. Her past is shrouded in mystery, and her own memories are vague. Because she's in an unstable state, the tone of her voice changes rapidly.ProfileHeight: 165 cmBlood type: OWeight: 45 kgBirthplace: UnknownBirthday: She isn't fully born yetHobby: Coming up with new regulationsLikes: Toffee, memories, concepts related to humanitiesDislikes: Concepts related to science
Leonard-Helsing Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 Wait, so technically she's kinda-sorta a fetus?
Blade Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 When people talk about Jack-O' "not being born yet", I can't help but remember Zappa screaming: "IT'S BEING BORNNNNN!?!?!" *cue centipedes erupting from his body*
kylehyde Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 I find that Jack O dislikes the concepts related to science interesting. If she is a part of Aria then It could be because Sol was way too into science and wasn't paying enough attention to her like in his flashbacks in Xrd.Or maybe it's cause she's like a new born and hates thinking about difficult things, I prefer the former.
Wild Candy Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 So does anyone know how Elphelts personality works now? Is it still the same? Is she a robot? Is she going Yandere? what exactly si going on with her besides her redesign?
Blade Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 (edited) To understand Elphelt you kinda have to understand her background:---Same as Ramlethal she met with the Conclave at some point, but it's unclear when this happened, probably right after she was born..---Her initial mission was to blend in with Humans, and to do that she misinterpreted "blending in" with "getting married" and somehow tried to marry a rock star.---Part of the "rules" in her directives stated she couldn't fall in love, so basically how can you "get married" and not "fall in love"?... basically her brain glitched out due to the contradiction for a bit and freaked everybody in the wedding (even the groom) out.---Her power is the ability to sense the Prime Field Gear Cells and "teleport" near them. So when those powers activated the nearest Prime Field Cells she warped to was near Ky Kiske (I assume because Dizzy or Sin was nearby). She warns Ky about the Conclave's plans for Babylon but nobody initially believes her except Ky himself, they test to confirm she is a Valentine and she is put under Ky's custody while Ky leaves the kingdom to prevent her from affecting the main populace should she self-destruct (the main reason Ky left Illyria though was to avoid the eyes and ears of the Conclave).---The reason she could sense Prime Field Gear Cells was in order to monitor Justice and Sol Badguy, ensure (subconsciously) that Justice would awaken, and that Sol would not. She also acts as a failsafe to prevent Ramlethal from self destructing or using her powers without due cause, this works the other way as well.---Her programming basically told her that Sol would destroy Justice if allowed entry in the Backyard, so she prevented him from getting caught up in Justice' transport field (the same field that swallowed up the people of Babylon). She justifies it with a "human response" which confuses Sol even further.---Right about at the same time she sensed Justice waking up and controlling the nearby Opus, is when her main programming kicked in and she attacked Leo Whitefang.---After Sol tries to reason with her, her true power kicks in and she turns Black with red eyes. After further talking with him, she becomes troubled by his statements and decides to attack him against orders from Mother that he not be killed. Sol subdues her, but then she gets caught in Ariels' Felion Barrier.----Later, it seems like she is in Bedman's Nightmare Theater world and under Bedman's personal custody for the day she is ready to fuse with Justice like some kind of power source. Her personality is "still there" sortof, but it's probably being subdued and sealed. Edited August 23, 2015 by Blade
The Badgerine Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 So does anyone know how Elphelts personality works now? Is it still the same? Is she a robot? Is she going Yandere? what exactly si going on with her besides her redesign? afaik from the information gathered, she still acts the same as before
Sourenga Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x331gqaI subbed some Episode Mode clips I recorded from streams today.Mainly from the Assassin story where they are training to get revenge on Bedman for what happened during SIGN Story Mode. Bedman also says Elphelt will become the "World Tree"... Not sure where this story is going...(The video also features something that people might want to talk about on the Music Thread)
Blade Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Yeah somehow I don't think Slayer will take getting ambushed by Bedman lightly.
The Badgerine Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 "Your Mother is trying to prevent the increase of the soul's Entropy" ?
Solhunter Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 "Your Mother is trying to prevent the increase of the soul's Entropy" ?Weeeell, Elphelt does look and act like an adult Madoka... Hmmm.
Vulcan422 Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 Also rather funny considering Elphelt is voiced by Kyubey in English.
Solhunter Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 Also rather funny considering Elphelt is voiced by Kyubey in English.And the irony continues to amuse.
Blade Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 "Your Mother is trying to prevent the increase of the soul's Entropy" ?You're gonna have to explain that joke to me because I don't watch Magical Girl Anime shows (or at least not recent ones).
SoWL Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 Do you really have to understand every single reference posted on Dustloop? And if you do, you'd rather have other people do your homework?
Sourenga Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) KUMU HEHIYON:Forgive the late introduction, Allied King. I am the 5th head of the Kumu family, called "Hehiyon".I was contacted that there was something strange with the Colony, so I've come to investigate it.So, Tuner's real name is "Kumu Hehiyon" (They use Japanese naming order for him). People on jbbs were speculating that it sounded like a Korean name.I just can't make out what the middle kanji in his/her name is... EDIT: Thanks, SoWL. Kanji is 琴 慧弦 (クム ヘヒヨン) Edited August 27, 2015 by Sourenga
