www.youtube.com/watch?v=5X8aE8jMqwg&t=21sdidn't see anyone posting about this here which seems strange to me, so for all those like me who are looking forward to this here's some good news! hopefully we'll hear something soon from the Xanadu translations as well.

I kinda hope someone takes up dubbing the dialog too, like what happened with Ys IV. This is a really good game, and honestly deserves a similar treatment!

Nothing is going to come of Nightwolve's attempt, since he burned the entire PC Engine community, but hopefully another programmer with take a shot.

well apparently he hasn't because his team is steadily making progress. he's contributed a lot to the scene and he's still working at it and that deserves respect. not to mention, he will happily discuss his projects and whether or not he is making progress on them without jumping down your throat, which seems to be a rarity in this community.
I'm very much looking forward to playing this when it's completed.

Here’s the thing: I don’t care how much work you put into a translation. If you are a hateful, petty asshole who refuses to take responsibility for your actions you don’t deserve respect, period. He has shown us his true colors and puts the blame on everyone but himself. I will gladly give up on seeing Emerald Dragon ever translated to have him out of the scene. He doesn’t deserve this community, what’s left of it after he got done trying to burn it to the ground, anyway. Even if he does complete the translation, I won’t touch it. Toxic people taint the works they touch.

My mama always told me, 'Toxic is as Toxic does', Sir.
Outside of a person being arrested or accused of a crime, I'll still give a person grudging/willing respect for their achievements.

you know, I don't know about whatever drama has gone down in the past. but I do know that he was an integral part of one of the greatest pc engine projects to date (Ys 4), and that when I ask him how he's progressing on his projects he's always very nice and willing to discuss whats going on with him and his work.
contrast that with the one other thread I posted on this board politely asking for any news on the xanadu translations and I was shut down immediately and told to 'be chill'. when I would think asking a single question is pretty chill.
bear in mind, I don't know Nightwolve from a hole in the wall and he's been nothing but open and polite. I don't know what you folks consider petty and toxic, but that ain't it.
however, looking down on people who want to know about a project they are excited about, well that strikes me as a bit more so.

I have seen people getting pretty rude (on another now dead PC Engine forum) regarding the progress of Legend of Xanadu 1 and 2. I mean I would love an update on it’s progress as much as the next person, but I kinda understand why they’d wanna be left alone all things considered. It’s also best to remember that the people involved are doing this for free, and maybe wanna hit a certain level of progress before they do a big reveal!
As for Nightwolve, while I can’t speak for the drama itself, I have noticed he seems to be a very politically angry person. I mean he even made an NPC make a rather out of place dig at anyone who doesn’t vote republican, in his translation for Xak III. While I can’t deny the work on Dawn of Ys is fantastic and that I enjoyed the game immensely....I have seen signs that Nightwolfe could exhibit some problematic behaviour!

I remember the exact thread you are referring to. it was one dude typing in broken english demanding that they release the text translation since it has been confirmed that the text is complete and only the voice acting was left (I believe the last update indicated the VA work was complete as well).
it was literally one angry slavic kid.
and I don't care who you vote for, if you're nice to me I'll be nice to you. the only thing I find problematic is obnoxious elitism.

My issue wasn’t what he votes for, just his overall anger towards politics that done align with his own. Like I said he’s very aggressively political, it’s something that struck me as being particularly unapproachable!

I'm just not sure what today's politics have to do with enjoying 30 year old games in english.

If he's making NPCs say stuff about how you should vote republican, then that's what today's politics have to do with it

I'm just not sure what today's politics have to do with enjoying 30 year old games in english. People are done with Nightwolf. The traditional definition of “politics” has nothing to do with it. The dude is quite unhinged by any definition. Would I play something he released? Sure, but I wouldn’t give him my address for damn sure. After a decade plus of friction with that dude he eventually went totally off the rails. Totally. I don’t think he should allowed to have a driver’s license or a gun for example. He’s bonkers. I can’t even imagine what his real friends and family must be putting up with.

That seems like an arbitrary line but I’m sure if he doesn’t have a record he will eventually. Will you then suddenly change your mind based on that single metric? Btw, your mamma had some weird sayings.
