Was thinking about a comment on one of my posts and I figured, why not make a thread compiling all of my write-ups regarding the TWEWY duology, both mechanically and narratively? Will be putting this under my pinned too (need to update some of my charts anyway).

Another day, another dumbass who can’t tell that Shoka is being rude as fuck in her dialogue here and that the English localization is capturing that rudeness.
This is one of the best examples with the issue with localization. In Neo TWEWY, in Japanese the character says “Bye” as a form of entitlement speaking in a foreign language, but EN says “Later Losers”. The correct choice would be “Ciao” as that’s what English speakers would say.

DMC as a series is unironically more subtle in its character writing than a lot of people give it credit for. DMC3 directly never tells you that Vergil is primarily motivated by the death of his mother to try and gain power in order to never again feel that helplessness,-

What I love about KH1’s finale is that it’s basically Ansem going on and on about his research/various thesis statements/documentation has led him to conclude that darkness is the heart’s true essence and Sora, like any 14 year old, basically "nuh-uh"s him so hard he explodes.

Replaying through KH1 has also solidified my belief that Hollow Bastion is still one of the greatest video game levels ever made.

With Shoka, she talks outright rudely with most characters (in JP this is done with a usual lack of honorifics, among a few other phrasing choices that don't translate directly).

They slightly crank up her "rudeness" across the board in EN because a lot of it isn't going to translate properly, and her being so blunt is a pretty important part of her character that needs to be communicated.

It’d be real nice if KH2 fans can talk up the game without putting down every other one in existence.
I know this is probably one of the coldest takes on the market, but it is astonishing to me that action games hit a definitive peak in 2005 and despite the gaming industry’s best efforts no one, including the company that made it, has never been able to replicate it since.

Often times, I feel like people conflate a game having a flashy combo system with a good combat system. On the surface level, you’d think that these would be the same but like many things, it’s in the little details and nowhere is this apparent than with games like Nier Automata.

In NEO TWEWY, enemies, when comboed enough times, can tech out of your hits and get knocked back in the air, which you can use to your advantage to lead them into traps. This is especially noticeable with shark Noise, who don’t flash red and gain armor like other enemies.

Okay, I clicked on this to see why people hated KH3 and just... What the fuck?

What you’re not getting is that Japanese language is basically politeness judo at its finest. What translates as rude and derogatory there won’t directly translate as such in English, thus the localization captures that with Shoka’s lines.

Since today is the anniversary of both TWEWY games, I’d figure why not make a thread honoring both of them by exploring Neku and Fret’s similar traumas and how they cope with it in very different ways that play towards their core values? Here’s yet another TWEWY analysis!

I don’t think Souls is personally killing other kinds of action games (games being far more expensive to develop for nowadays has more to do with that) but I do believe that the way people approach it and other action games has put a serious damper on game design discourse.

One thing that always gets me about TWEWY is how natural the slang actually feels whenever the characters engage into it. I can legitimately believe that a real teenager would actually say this stuff.

I’ve been seeing niggas say "NEO TWEWY walked so that ZZZ can run" for its gameplay. No, NEO ran 15 miles on the track field with enough time to pick up the kids from school while ZZZ is trudging along on a treadmill hoping to match some of NEO’s swag (it can’t).
you know something that's a little petty but that I'd stand by.
I bet the vast majority of people praising ZZZ for having JSR/TWEWY vibes don't actually like either of those games. It's annoying hearing them used to gas it up.

This is one of the main reasons why fast-paced action games need to make a comeback: so that people can stop making surface-level takes like this and assume that there’s only one way to handle difficulty in action combat.
