日本リリースについての質問

良い点。 公式の返事をもらうのも面白いでしょう。 ゲーマー仲間、私たちはあなたを応援しています。

日本版のパブリッシャーは香港のGame Source Entertainmentさんなのですが、キックスターター及びこのフォーラムは海外版のパブリッシャーである５０５さんが担当です。残念ながら、ArtPlayさんからの報せなどはパブリッシャーを通して出るので、日本版についての返答はそう簡単に得られないでしょう。

恐らくはですが、販売店側から予約特典や初回特典などがないとお断りですと言われ、そこでキックスターターとは直接に関わらなかったGame Source Entertainmentさんがその対応を取ったでしょう。キックスターターの落とし穴の一つ、というわけです。

しかし、おっしゃる通り、＄１００以上も出した支援者が納得できるような扱いではありません。

そこで、もし良かったら、フォーラム運営の方々が直接ArtPlayさんにお問い合わせ出来るよう、akr さんの投稿内容を私が英語に直してみたらいかがでしょうか？

これでも一応、日本のゲーム企業さんで通訳・翻訳を担当した者です。

akr is a Japanese backer who has been trying to get an answer from IGA on some of the decisions made for the recently announced Japanese release.

Akr has been posting his questions on the Kickstarter site in hopes of getting an answer, but to no avail. I read his post and volunteered to translate it to English, so that 505 can see it and hopefully communicate the contents to ArtPlay itself.

If you guys would be kind enough to poke Question , Angel-Corlux and Mana to check this message, we would be very grateful.

Here's the original post


Here's the my translation

I am a Japanese backer.

The fact that the Japanese release was pushed back to October is unfortunate but understandable.

Regardless, I'm more troubled by things such as the fact that the Japanese release is getting the soundtrack CD - originally a backer reward for the $100+ tier -  as a preorder bonus, and that each retailer is getting exclusive items, such as posters and steel casings, that were originally rewards for higher-tier backers; and not only are these rewards available, but they come at no additional cost!

I believe that among my fellow backers who already have the game - many of them in Japan - there are many who are having trouble accepting this decision. What, besides apologies and words of gratitude, will you offer us Japanese backers, who've endured this substantial delay?

I would ask for  a release schedule for Japanese backers, and for a reasonable explanation to all backers as to the bonuses announced for Japan together with the release date.

I suggested that there might not be a reply at the Kickstarter page because the publisher for Japan is not 505, who's the one who updates the Kickstarter page, as opposed to IGA himself.

To this, akr responds...


Here's the my translation

As I said before, fellow backers have been asking the same questions on the Kickstarter page, but we've gotten no update (answer). Even if, as you suggest, this is a case of 505's team and the publisher for Japan taking separate and contrary approaches, that doesn't mean that IGA, who started the project, and 505 bear no responsibility.

It's for this very reason that I posted this message: I really feel they should fulfill their responsibility towards backers.

I'm hopeful this message will reach IGA and the team, and be met with their understanding.

Normally I would not hold my breadth for a reply to this sort of question, but when a person takes the trouble to come here and post, despite the language barrier, and it's clear the person believes in IGA and cares a lot about the project, I just had to offer what little help I could.

Paging Mana

I truly feel for our Japanese brethren. That delay truly stings but at least they’ll get a less buggy and all around better game by October. Maybe by then the Switch version will be decent.

I hope he gets an answer here.

Ganbare, akr !

All right. I'll send this over to Question and Angel personally, it seems like Akr's concerns are shared by many other backers so we should get the higher-ups to address them as soon as possible. Thanks for the translation, dareka .

こちらこそ、お役に立てたなら嬉しいです。


Translation:

Thanks to all of you who read my messages and offered their support.
While I originally sent this message in an effort to get the development team to understand my personal frustration at their decision, it's been truly encouraging to find people who are willing to offer their support. Here's hoping IGA, 505, and ArtPlay are able to provide both a time-table and a reasonable explanation to all my fellow backers.

私は寧ろ、現状に驚いていないです。

モデレーターさんによると、「メッセージは確かに５０５さんに伝わってある」とのことですが、こういうのは、明らかにパブリッシャーが悪いので謝罪や説明、お詫びとしての何らかの対応は期待できないと思います。しかし、もしあったとすればそれなりに時間が掛かり、対応が確定して準備が整うまでに発表を控えるでしょう。

そういう意味ではまだ答えていないということは、逆に希望が持てるということでしょう。

では、ご投稿の英訳をさせて頂きます。


Translation:

It's nearly a week since dareka, gunlord500 and others provided their assistance in my attempt to contact IGA and ArtPlay.
Ever since, I've been checking the forums and Kickstarter updates. Sadly, it would appear that they either didn't get my message or have decided to ignore it. I have no means of knowing what's happening with them right now, and that makes me even more uneasy - will we Japanese backers get our rewards?Would IGA, ArtPlay, or someone from 505's team please answer my question?

返事が遅くなってすみませんが、私もakrさんと他の日本の支援者たちに応援を申し上げます。
IGAさんと開発者たちからの返事と適切な対応を願います。

First of all, my text depends on machine translation.
Please forgive me, although it may be wrong.
Just a month away from the general release in Japan.
However, the message from them did not answer the question I had asked before.
Although the time is approaching, the release schedule from them to Japanese supporters has not been announced.
If this is the case, we may get the worst ending of getting the game later than Japanese general users.
In addition to rewards for general users, it is not possible to convince a supporter that preferential treatment is available until release.
I would like to ask the person responsible for this project again.
