This was done as kind of an experiment to see how few takes I could do on my line readings, in order to speed up the production process. I generally spend way too much time recording and re-recording lines, which leads to me taking forever painstakingly looking for the best one and splicing them together when necessary during the editing process. For this one I tried to simply stop after the first take as many times as I could. There are a few parts that maybe sound a bit flubbed, but hopefully it turned out okay. I was able to go from recording the lines to finishing the video in about a week, which was much faster than I'd been doing and could possibly lead to me getting stuff out more frequently again.
I'm sure you do something similar already, but if not, I remember reading one time that a RUclipsr would tap their mic a couple times when they stumbled over a line, and then pause for a moment, and then start over. This causes the microphone to peak and it gives you a visual que on your audio track timeline so you can see exactly where every take starts. Though honestly you did fine with this one. I really enjoyed it! Thanks for the upload! 😁
@@Gundalow Glad you liked it! That is something I do when recording, but it is good advice. I guess I just wanted to cut down on the audio editing as much as I could, because sometimes I'll have over 30 minutes of audio to sift through for a three or four minute segment. This one only had about 18 minutes in total.
Your takes seemed mostly fine to me! It sometimes does sound like you're just reading your script though rather than naturally talking. But you could do both things...work on taking the first or second take while also reading new lines naturally. One tip I've heard a few times is read your script out loud in a mirror while looking away from the text as often as you can. Focus on trying to give the words a natural tone and inflection. Good job on the video! I also like playing new translations as they feel like new games to me. But I might just be skipping this one!
Ancient Roman and the game is not set in Rome. Imma create a book Called Han Dynasty and set it on the moon as it follows a group of super-intelligent geese.

I saw a comment on a thread somewhere that had explained that the reason the music is so awful is because it was coded into the game in the wrong key and it plays incorrectly during the game. If you listen to the music from the soundtrack CD that was released from this game, you can listen to the OST as it's intended and it's not even that bad tbh. This game just had everything possible going against it and somehow it still saw the light of day.
That is where the word in Japanese comes from. Usually, though, it either refers to romantisme and its literature, OR it means something like "adventurous ideal/spirit" and describes things that rouse it. This gives it some overlap with the Arthurian senses of "romance" that we have in English. It's a common yet tricky word. On another note, the "Ancient" part of the title is spelled wrong. It should be anshento, not anshanto. That's why if you just look up アンシャント you get the game.
Ah I know this game from watching a Japanese Game RUclipsr who usually plays kusoge (translation: shitty games). The reason why with those highest prices on auction sites was coz it was joked by the JP game community as one of the rarest kusoge ever. xD
@@Tummamu Their name was karasumaA. Despite their channel are all in Japanese, they do actually cover other kusoge from overseas (even the Concord game that shut down weeks ago lol).
I'll be honest, the beginning of the game reminds me a lot of Legend of the Dragoon, just with much worse production values. Edit: well, as you mention, that world map says it all. Even the string instrument in the soundfont sounds similar.
I rather play Sakura Wars than Fire Emblem and this game. Though, it's not really the worst JRPG, it could benefit for a modern remake with the returning voice cast.
Thanks! I’ve done a few of these reviews before, and I always enjoy making them. There are a few translations I’ve been wanting to cover that are actually good games, but since they’re good I’ve been wanting to put more time into playing them before making something about them.
@@LegendOfGames Even if it has been translated, someone won't feel comfortable to try those games without watching at least one video review about it. You may capture those people Rooting on you!
I once own the first game shows in the video it was mecha JP ps1game, Although didnt understand anything back in the day i memories the moves of each robot and used to love the multi-player mode there! If someone can spell the name of the game that would be amazing 👌 Note: Not sure if there was an NTSC/U version.
@@hazimalsharif1374 That game is called Remote Control Dandy. It was featured on a PlayStation Underground demo disc, but never got an official North American release. However, it did get an English translation a few years back. It’s a really cool game that I’ve been wanting to cover for a while now.
Regarding your top-comment, I felt some of your line-reads had a slightly stilted "stop and go" effect, but not enough to really impact my fun with the video. Besides, even if less re-takes may lead to some aural jank... nothing couod possibly be as bad as this bugged music, repetitively scripted nightmare of a game. I saw a let's play of the first hour or so, and when the village got razed was portrayed by enemy models and villager models just standing in front of each other while waving arms at each other like they're slapfighting... OR how there's a pause whenever you execute an attack in the game because the game needs to load in the sound-effect of your (or the enemy's) strike... what can you even say? It's a game that does justice to it's reputation as the cream of the crap. It does jank and biggy things I've not seen ANY other PS1 rpg do. It fascinates me... but you are far braver than I, for actually playing it.

Yeah, kinda disappointing :D ...
I'd totally play a game starring intelligent geese on the moon, though.

The music I have playing in the background is the non-messed up versions of the tracks. They definitely sound better than what’s in the actual game.
Maybe they went for "roman" in the title aiming at its French meaning of "story" -- not that "ancient story" sounds that great either.
That is where the word in Japanese comes from. Usually, though, it either refers to romantisme and its literature, OR it means something like "adventurous ideal/spirit" and describes things that rouse it.

I didn’t know about that. I guess it’s kind of like the AVGN effect. Might explain why it got the translation as well.
Who is the youtuber you're talking about?

Bruh! even Japanese people admit it's a shit game 😂

@VincentOuellet-fy3sy I was feeling similar vibes. The guy who leads the attack on the village kind of reminded me of Freugel from Legend of Dragoon.
Looks like an early alpha build
For real. It does not feel like something that was ready for public release.
I rather play Sakura Wars than Fire Emblem and this game.

You have a very John Wilson sounding voice and I love it. Subbed
it feels like every song is two songs played over each other
Exploding guy needs to be a meme.
I’ve seen and have all from 1980-Now I have every console and tons of games what a life of gaming throughout the decades
I like this, please do more of these newly-fan-translated games

Yes! Thats the name i remember now Thank you and cant wait till i see a review for it 👏
what is the second game on the star f the video please?
@@lucasbobo22 Ecsaform. It’s an awesome game that I recommend if you like JRPGs more on the sci-fi side of things.
I've been contemplating on playing this gem but the interface and UI kinda holding me back. I might play this gem if I have the time.

Cool video dude awful game though lmao .awesome you live in Japan . It's one of my dreams. !
