What will happen to quotes on loading screens?

**alQamar** · July 29, 2013, 03:50 AM

Hi there, I wonder if we will have latin quotes again on loading screens. I have to confess the japanese quotes in Shogun 2, at least in their german translation were really senseless.

Anyone has information about that? what about San Francisco, E3 or Rezzed visitors?

I'd love to read them. They inspired me.

Lets hope they did not cut down another "feature"

CA here is enough stuff just look up the latin versions please.

I expect so, it's pretty much TW tradition.

They are in, but now they are on pre/post battle screens, rather than the loading screen. That's where I saw them on someones photos anyway, although I can't remember where I saw it.

Thanks guys. I thought so it is very hard to translate classical japanese quotes while trying to keep their meaning, but that did not work well.

I loved the death poem quotes, especially with the oriental artwork!
I enjoyed the extra range in loading screens/quotes that EB/RSII/RTR gave and would love some more concept art! (If Rome 2 devs made a biggie bout concept art cuz some don't!)

Ive been to Japan for some months as an exchange students so I also came across lot of difficult language situations. Translating and keeping the meaning and feeling must have been very hard. Not really CA's fault, hope there will be quotes in Rome II. You have a point though, I think it will be a great game, but CA is breaking quite some traditions with Rome II

Breaking traditions per se isnt a bad thing, you just have to generate new, enjoyable ones^^

@OP Dunno what your prob was with the quotes, for me they always made sense and added quite a bit to the overall atmosphere, but perhaps thats just me...
