Kyokugen Dasshutsu ADV: Zennin Shibou Desu Trailer English Subs (Corrected)

This version contains slightly altered subtitles that correct minor translation errors that were in the original video. My apologies.

Here's the premiere trailer for Chunsoft's sequel to the well-loved 999 for the DS. It looks like Zero and the Nonary Game are back for round two on the Nintendo 3DS and PlayStation Vita, replete with references to scientific and philosophical concepts abound, ranging from Schrodinger's Cat to the prisoner's dilemma, among plenty of other things. Not a whole lot is known about the game outside of what's already in the trailer, although the game will have full voice acting, unlike its prequel.

A few translation notes to mention. First, while the game is now quickly being known in English by Siliconera's translation "Extreme Escape Adventure: Good People Die," as a translator, I prefer to refrain from altering titles until official names are established. Siliconera's title is accurate, but the game only has one name right now and that's in Japanese. As such, you won't see me translate the title in the video itself. Beyond that, if there's some ambiguity in the terminology used in the subtitles, that's because the Japanese is vague in a lot of places and there's only so much that can be done to make things clearer. There are also a few science-heavy terms in there that I researched to ensure consistency with any and all English counterparts when possible, although in a few places, they seem to have been invented for the game.

Beyond that, I hope you enjoy the trailer and that my subtitles have done justice to the original Japanese writing.

Like the updated subs, but your Latin is slightly off. Since Latin sentences have the object first and the subject specified by the verb, "Tu (fui), ego (eris)" is literally: You (I will be), I (You will be). In proper English this roughly means: I will be you, you will be me. There is no past tense.

@kandylover139 My apologies for that and I'm not surprised in the least that it happened. I did consult some outside sources before writing that translation in particular and had gone with one that was trying to maintain a consistent tone with the rest of the text, but as you've pointed out, that plan seems to have backfired a tad. Again, no surprise, since I don't have any experience with Latin. Thanks for enlightening me, though!

Do I hear a Morphogenetic Sorrow tune in the begining..? :)

I want this game. Now. 8D

the best game ever just got the best sequel ever.

Good work on the translation. I love the art style of 999 and this game. I bet the 3D models where in part of pressure to make something viable when the 2D drawings would come off cheap to some people which is a shame. Another thing I think is a shame is that somehow I the American version is going to include horrible voice acting. If only we can keep the Japanese with English subbs, but here's to hoping

@Monkey6K Well technically, 999 could've had a better story as a standalone game if the writer didn't reuse story elements that ever17 had (Take out the 4th dimension being plot device thingy and just keep it with the survival theme while having different time-lines related to each other). That, and add more character development.

@EpicWin12

Ever17 is great yea, and similar in MIND FUCKISH events, but ever17 has more derpy romance filler while 999 has more interactive addicting awesome puzzles. Ever17 took me FOREVER to get through, dropping it several times before finishing it. I'm glad I finished it though.

this better come out in english XD

[YGOkid8]

@EpicWin12 um no i was saying that 999 was the best game ever. which, i am aware, there are loads of better games and yes, i am aware this might not actually be a sequel but just take place in the same universe but if i had said any of that, my message would've completely lost all of its already limited impact. :)

[EpicWin12]

@YGOkid8 what, you mean the best game ever is a recycle of ever 17?

@bobrossfreak Actually, 'Tu fui, ego eris'was translated correctly in the video as 'I was you and you will be me' It appears on tombstones and is supposed to be from the point of view of the dead: ''I was (alive like) you, and you will be (dead like) me.
