i did not expect this!

Zhao_Yun · May 28, 2015

Wow, I didn't expect that. It seems like they are going all-in with this franchise after Hollow Fragement was so successful on Vita alone.

bigkrev · May 28, 2015

Why would they destroy the ART of the original translation?!?

kuroneko0509 · May 28, 2015

b-but i want those penetrations

Ridley327 · May 28, 2015

Alas, there will not be nearly as much penetration now.

StereoVsn · May 28, 2015

Hmm... I might actually double dip. I really like the combat system, so we'll see what improvements Bamco brings to the table. I pretty much avoided most of the optional story line segments due to the localization.

Tizoc · May 28, 2015

RiP Penetrations.

Ryuukan · May 28, 2015

rip black man

Brew124 · May 28, 2015

Done deal.. double dipping for sure now.

bomblord1 · May 28, 2015

Oh noez I might actually have to play it now

That was what I exactly thought, too xD

Jawmuncher · May 28, 2015

Thank Goodness the vita version will forever keep the broken translation. That one is in the history books now.

SliceSabre · May 28, 2015

Looks like they're going all in here.

Tohsaka · May 28, 2015

Hopefully they improve the framerate a good deal as well. I put a ton of time into the Vita version, but it ran like shit for the most part.

Hidden One · May 28, 2015

Ugh. I'm kinda angry I bought this on vita and barely played it and now a ps4 version is coming which is what I wanted from the getgo.

Vylash · May 28, 2015

oh hey now i can finally buy it

AmethystEnd · May 28, 2015

Wow. Unexpected. I was already buying both games on PS4, but fuck yeah, I'll take this.

Kouriozan · May 28, 2015

They already patched "penetration" back then iirc but the bad localization added something unique to this game.

wrowa · May 28, 2015

And yet no patch for the Vita version, of course. Can't believe I paid money for that garbage.

Bouniter · May 28, 2015

Is there any chance the re-translation will be patched into the vita version?

Edit: well I guess not man that sucks

The original PR said:

"Players with save data from the PlayStation Vita version of the game on will be pleased to learn that some items from that game will be transferable to the PlayStation 4"

So obviously the vita version will need to be patched so maybe they can penetrate the new script in the process

Dragon1893 · May 28, 2015

That's nice, didn't think they would bother.
There's really no excuse for how bad it was in the first place though so fixing it is really just a matter of professionalism.

darkwing · May 28, 2015

lmao at Asuna's expression

Oh awesome I shall keep my fingers crossed then.

Diablos54 · May 28, 2015

There's gonna be a PS4 HF?! Since when?! I've got the Vita one but haven't even played it yet haha.

Zonic · May 28, 2015

Really hope this line isnt changed, probably the best in the game:

maybe they will have an 'upgrade' discount due to the terrible translation

Shifty1897 · May 28, 2015

Redone translation? I may finally pick it up then.

KojiKnight · May 28, 2015

That original translation was discount SNES quality... Glad to hear they are going to work on that, too bad they won't apply it back to the Vita version.

UncleSporky · May 28, 2015

What was penetration even supposed to be then?

Derkon · May 28, 2015

Thanks Bamco, will double dip now!

Sora_N · May 28, 2015

I'll rebuy if physical. Bamco pls

-Horizon- · May 28, 2015

Time for Bing translates time to shine!

Ridley327 · May 28, 2015

UncleSporky said:

I think it's supposed to be something along the line of a mission or a quest, but I'd leave that to someone more versed in SAO to get more detail than that.

Parakeetman · May 28, 2015

Good because the previous translations were shit.

At least now there will be no more excuses about the games quality as that was the main thing most folks would constantly asking about. Though still at the same time game sold quite well seeing how long its stayed up in the download charts regardless of the poor localization.

PepsimanVsJoe · May 28, 2015

Huh.
The translation is the only part of the game I actually enjoyed in the 15+ hours I put into it.

Oh, it's probably like exploring deep into the labyrinth, seeing how far you can get.

I watched some of the show but it was a while back, I forget all the terminology.

bomblord1 · May 28, 2015

UncleSporky said:

It's a mistranslation and one that was actually patched. It's supposed to mean working on getting to the next floor on the front lines. I guess you could say penetrating deeper into the dungeon.

Mendax · May 28, 2015

link seems dead for me

this, yes. It's supposed to be advancing/progressing.

edit: was that patched? why that and not the rest wth

They're referring to Kiritio who is wearing a black outfit and Silica is acting embarrassed around him. lol

Actually its supposed to be clearing floors in the dungeon.

Its just whoever was doing translations ran too much shit through google translate. That and were not a native English speaker obviously.
