It's so nice to have this back, and an entire new volume at that - thanks Nekomancer.

@Nekomancer Sorry I couldn't get back to you fast enough on the dialect thing. I tried asking people on a language study server, but they pretty much refused to entertain the idea of adapting it in the first place. I'll keep trying however I can, though.

@Shita-kiri_Suzume

Why are they refusing it?

 

[Shita-kiri_Suzume]

@Reb024 The gist of it was "there's no way to get a perfect match, so you might as well not bother" Even though I already knew that but still wanted to go for a reasonable approximation because it would mean leaving out an entire chunk of characterization otherwise.

But, nothing.

@Shita-kiri_Suzume

I've been searching for some equivalent English accent as well, but all I could find was Hakata is supposed to sound "soft" compared to other dialects.

Anyway, thanks for the info. Really appreciate it.

 

[Shita-kiri_Suzume]

@Reb024 For now, since Hakata is part of the Kyushu family of dialects (like the Saga dialect) and it's regarded as a "rural" accent but in a different way from Tohoku (the usual stereotypical hick accent), I considered picking some variation of Californian (the actual dialect, not Valley Girl/surfer). Don't know if it works or not, but it's an option.

@Shita-kiri_Suzume

I'll look into that. Thanks a lot.
