Is The Localization For Unicorn Overlord BAD? | State of the Arc Podcast Mar 06, 2024

Show notes

Localization is one of the most challenging aspects of game development, it can either make or break a game. But sometimes it's done extremely well and some people just can't see it. It's OK to disagree with the translation choices made by a team of translators, however, if you think the translation for Unicorn Overlord isn't DOPE then you run a high likelihood of being wrong. I think the odds are maybe like 99% that you're wrong. But hey, there's still a chance. Listen to hear opinions that are softer than this description might let on. Enjoy the comments!

Show notes

Vote on Patreon or Subscribestar for the next game we analyze! Is social media ruining gaming? Or is it making things better? That's possible. Maybe things are actually better and you just didn't realize it yet? Or maybe things are just worse. But even if they're worse and bad, does that mean that gaming is ruined? Can it be salvaged? How? HOW!?!?

Is The Gaming Industry On The Brink Of Collapse? | State Of The Arc Podcast Feb 21, 2024

Show notes

Is Squall DEAD? | Final Fantasy VIII Analysis | State of the Arc Podcast Feb 14, 2024

Show notes

Is Squall dead? Is he just dreaming? We are about to take a (quite) critical look at the Squall is dead theory. Why? Why does Squall have to be dead? Is Mario dead? All those mushrooms and turtles sure seem to indicate so. Is Final Fantasy VIII too Fantasy and not based enough in reality for you? Do we feel the need to bring fantasy down to the materialist, hyper-rational world in order to enjoy it, or can it just stand on its own two feet? Or, maybe to hit a little closer to home... are YOU dead?

What Everyone Missed About Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within | State of the Arc Podcast Feb 06, 2024

Show notes

Is Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within still worth watching? Mike and Casen have taken it upon themselves to analyze this most interesting piece of history. We talk about the Gaia Hypothesis by James Lovelock, and how it fits into the story of this film. The movie is deeply misunderstood, but that is of course its own fault. Enjoy this analysis of a pretty average movie, with an extremely thought provoking spirit hiding deep within. Time Codes: 1. Intro (0:00) 2. History (3:54) 3. Movie (1:00:54) 4. VFX (1:54:38) **We’re Now On Spotify**: https://open.spotify.com/show/4gIzzvT3AfRHjGlfF8kFW3 **Listen On Soundcloud**: https://soundcloud.com/resonantarc **Listen On iTunes**: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/state-of-the-arc-podcast/id1121795837 **Listen On Pocket Cast**: http://pca.st/NJsJ Patreon Page: https://www.patreon.com/resonantarc Subscribe Star: https://www.subscribestar.com/resonant-arc Twitter: https://twitter.com/resonantarc Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/resonantarc Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/resonantarc TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@resonantarc

Chaos | Tactics Ogre Analysis (Ep.7) | State of the Arc Podcast Jan 10, 2024

The Chaos version of the game is likely the one that both Mike and Casen would have done first. The majority of the differences would have been in Ch. 3. Let's talk about it!
