Dirge of Cerberus translation

Posted in Japanese, Links, News at 4:29 pm by yuka

Oh the joys of WordPress. Last night as I tried to type this up, the whole thing disappeared off the face of this planet… it was almost enough to make me start smoking again. Well, here we go again, hoping for better luck this time.

The day before yesterday, Square Enix announced that Kingdom Hearts II, within three days of it being released in Japan, sold over a million copies of the game. Good for them. And they’ve also announced a new update on their Mana DS site – apparently they’ve added new moving images to do with character moves.

Dirge of Cerberus site has six categories: Story, Character, System, Download, Info and Promotional Video. I’d love to translate the whole site, but for now due to the possibility that WordPress might delete everything, I’ll just stick to the story… (by the way, it loads much in the same way as the Kingdom Hearts II site, so be patient): “As of now, the whole world is our arena. Those who are not worthy to be chosen will be faced with torture and misery. Three years after the story of Final Fantasy VII a mysterious gang of mecenaries started attacking the towns. This gang was the Deep Ground Soldiers (DG Soldiers) who were thought to have been buried underground when the meteor hit. This story’s main character, Vincent Valentine, is thought to have been involved in this incident… whether he was or not remains a mystery, as is what may have happened in those three years.”
