Then it’s settled! You are now officially an Adept! Welcome to the House of the Golden Sun!
Is Grant of Protection the final stage?
Yeah, it's when the government has accepted the trademark and gives the trademark holder exclusive rights for that trademark for as long as the trademark lasts.
Absolutely! Followed by Isaac in Smash. Hopefully.
Oh yeah , I forgot that Mia comes with a djinn. I actually went to the Mercury lighthouse first , so Mia was a bit overleveled compared to my other characters lol.
Isaac will likely be silent like how he's depicted in his debut game unless his Smash reveal councides with a new remake of Golden Sun where Isaac talks and is fully voice acted then they'd use the voice actor that was hired in that project to do his Smash incarnation.
That would be the worst outcome for me. I hate Isaac's Smash voice, it just sounds so wrong for him. He's like 17, not 13, lol. I just want him to have a clearly male voice.
In general they tend to be higher-pitched, but compare Cloud's Smash voice with Isaac's Smash voice. Cloud is higher than his English voice, but Isaac is literally voiced by a girl. His VA is great, but I don't want her as Isaac's voice. I don't even mind if it's just grunts/shouts, as long as it's a guy doing it.
Yes and no. Grant of protection is something that needs to happen, yes, as you can see in the screenshot every region got it (except VN, but that doesn't matter), both the regions of terms of usage (SG, IN and NZ) and the rest of secondary regions (that i'm not really sure what are for, but are obviously not as important as the main 3), but the actual final stage is the fact that they published it on official gazette, which happened late in March (last thing in the list in that screenshot)
Sakurai decided to make Uprising because of how much he liked the Brawl redesign, but do we know if that idea was born after SSBB's release? It's possible that having an English voice in Brawl was a coincidence.
I used to have an old game informer magazine that talked about the production of Kid Icarus Rising but it's long gone now so I can't remember specifics lol. But it's pretty convenient Pit got an English VA and a game was set to come out in the future. I think an early trailer of KI:U even used the Brawl voice before it changed. I want to lean more towards the game being a known future project as I don't see why they would just dub Pit for Smash and leave Marth speaking Japanese despite Ike debuting from the same series and speaking English because he had a game already out and localized.
I forgot Cloud's voice is still in JP… hmm I guess Isaac could still be in JP then. Or maybe they will use one of the VAs used in Hero, since they are pretty talented (one of the voices iirc made Link or young Link's voice originally)
DQ3's Hero was Ocarina of Time's older Link.
They changed Viridi's in Ultimate for the new Guidances.
Love it.
I'm curious, one of those listings is marked "refusal. What does that mean?
I'm no expert but I think it's literally refusal, so they had to do it again.
Oops sorry, I meant to say Smash isn't union, got myself mixed up there lol.
Yeah NoJ had to ask for extensions in order to keep having time to do whatever they had to do that they couldn't in those times. Breath of the Wild's trademark went through refusals as well ( I think one ) so it's a common thing since probably they have dates to ask for whatever info or proof to proceed forwards with the approval and the protections overall, and Nintendo or companies in general are not always that fast and ready to have what they need in time, hence why they ask for extensions of time.
Pretty sure it's Korea that refused. BotW was released in February of 2018 in here.
There has to be legal proceedures that need to get past without irregularity letters, and that was the problem. What exactly did Nintendo fail to show or give in order to get past examinations those times, I dunno, we don't get that in depth details of the process sadly, but we do know when an issue happens and when it doesn't, and finally it went through in March for the remaining region handling Terms of Use that had to get through. It can variate, it can be issues with the name itself, or the lack of a full name yet, or maybe just not showing you got a product yet to justify the trademark in the first place. Who knows. It's something that commonly happens so it's not something out of this world that should be worried about unless NoJ suddendly stopped asking for the extensions and gave up on it (which I have not seen happen to be honest). It doesn't matter anymore anyway, it got approved and published in official gazette, now we wait for whenever the announcement of what they have in store happens. My logic would say they will announce it as soon as possible to not waste too much time of the trademark's lifetime, after all it means money and renewing trademarks is even more expensive than registering them for the first time, so they definitely won't be holding off the announcement of whatever GS game they have to show us lol. Hopefully the pandemic doesn't delay the announcement past this year, which I doubt will happen cause it's not like they aren't working at all and it's been years since Camelot has been working on their next game already anyway.
I liked it when Karin was Palutena.
Out of curiosity, do you know if the new voice actor's contract is any different? The FF7 remake uses a new voice actor for Cloud, so I'm a little curious if there's any chance his voice could be patched in. Seems like a lot of extra effort, so I kind of doubt it even if the contract is different, but I'm curious!
I don't know, to be honest. If that specific clause isn't in the new VA's contract, they could potentially patch him in, but that's unlikely given they didn't patch in English voices for Marth and Roy when they got official English VAs in 2015. Maybe the next Smash game with Cloud will give him this new voice.
If it's this year what I'll be really sad about is the lack of a Nintendo New York reaction. That said, I think it might be next year that we see Golden Sun, given it's the 20th anniversary and what I've heard doesn't point towards GS this year.
Those were the best.
The reactions overall are definitely what I look forward the most right now, it's going to be insane once it happens…
The reaction won't be as spectacular as Sans, not because Golden Sun is less well-known, but because that reaction video featured a lot of physical contact.
