I think you're certainly doing good with Jacqli. It's a bit hard to tell because oh god Ar Tonelico 2 US had like one of the most shoddy localisation jobs ever in places, but the trading of casual wit and insults and swipes at other people with Peony seemed very accurate. I assume that she's intended to have mellowed a bit as the game wore on but then camp is full of awesome schadenfreude moments so it's easy to swing either way. (LIKE THE GAME ITSELF DOES IF YOU GET A REALLY EARLY CONVERSATION REALLY LATE) Certainly I would not be worrying about it. RELAX. BE MEAN.
WAAAH THANK YOU I REALLY APPRECIATE THIS. I actually played the US version as well, because I don't know moonspeak :( But-- yeah, I heard the localization was... kind of bad. And like SERIOUSLY IF YOU SEE SOMETHING like.. in future threads or anything, feel free to tell me :D! I'LL DO MY BEST TO BE MEANER.
POSSIBLY MEAN. I DUNNO. I mean I assume you guys are from the near-end of the game but before Croix gets past level 5 in any girl. But even then Jacqli's never like... outwardly AWFUL to anyone. She's just there doing her own thing and god fighting people is boring Croix go do it for me I'll chill over here. She's interested and not really out-and-out abusive, just kind of casually threatening. (She never points a sword at Croix and threatens to take his head off, just suggests that she could if she wanted...)
The US version just had such stilted text! So much of the dialogue was awful, especially early on, with weird phrasing and everything.
ALSO GO SLAP CROIX WITH A 'JUMP' BUTTON UNTIL HE LEARNS HOW TO USE IT. I MISSED THAT SO HARD.
Ahah, yeah, I see her mean more like "I'm bored, so I should force you to do horrible things or embarrass you". I don't see her as the type who outwardly threatens people either, I think that even when she does (and even then it's always kind of vague, like you say, only that she could if she wanted) it's more to actually be horrible and scare people. That's the kind of mean I picture her as |D Also! We haven't decided exactly what point we're taken them yet, though yeah, before Croix gets past level 5 with anyone.
Ahahah I'll teach him how to use jump if we ever get one app him-- I mean
