It's ironic that none of the voice actors are French, only Japanese. Video games in French usually stay true to the Japanese script in terms of dialogue. It's interesting that the Japanese people are speaking French in this game. Normally a game with French dialogue are voiced by French actors, so it's nice how the Japanese actors are doing the French acting in this game.

I'd almost forgotten how much I like the OST for this game.. and also Opera.

I'm French and I remember that when I was kid, I never paid attention to the french voice, see this videos 10 years later make me laugh ^^

A hearty salut from the future! Fuga came out in 2021 to great reception and it's got a sequel slated for next month (May 11th, 2023). Speaking of which, Fuga has an option to switch from the default Japanese voice track to a Solatorobo-esque French one (with Adeline Chetail as narrator!), with some characters getting at least two minutes' worth of voice clips. If the (understandably, given the hardware) small number of voice clips in Solatorobo was a gripe for you guys, Fuga makes up for that in abundance- especially since Yoann Gueritot, the game's creative director, is natively French himself and helped with the voice direction. The Berman Empire's enemy tanks predictably also have German names, too- such as Jagdhund, Hornisse, and whatever Hämmerliege is supposed to mean. The bosses' tanks even take their names from Germanic/Norse mythology (Sigurd), folklore (Grobian) or literature (Gretchen). So if Einhänder's constant German didn't burn you guys out… you mind giving Fuga and its sequel a look when the latter comes out? Could be fun.

This game really was a blast and hopefully, there will be an anime adaptation in the coming years. I have high hopes for this possibility.

Tail Concerto was a game I loved a lot as a kid and I'm bummed I probably will never get to play Solatorobo. Just glad Fuga is keeping the series going.

AHHH finally a French heavy episode! I'm learning French so I'm lividly happy

Fun fact: the game only came out in FRANCE when it came to Europe. It was later released in the US, with a slightly different translation and a true english dub (french release is just subbed....... like an anime). Maybe a coincidence, maybe there is some mystical France/Japan connection with these games. Also the french release kept the original opening song WRITTEN FOR THE GAME, while the US version ditched it cause american children must be protected from that foreign menace!

*Laughs evilly in French* LOL XD

When it was still available at Gamestop, I said to myself "This game is going to become rare!". Sadly at that time, my budget for games was lacking and couldn't buy this gem of a game. Now, I have to throw an arm and a leg to get it, unless...Cyber2Connect, re-release this gem digitally!

Japanese Voice Actors using french is simply genius decision made by the devs. Gives the game so much charme ❤

Oh my goodness... didn't expect to see this here. Definitely one of my top ten games.

3 things to say - 1: Holy crap, over 200$ for Solatorobo? That's madness! 2: I bought it at the start of this year for 40€. I'm not kidding, I found the whole package in German Kaufland store 3: Thank you for telling us that they're speaking French, because I was asking myself if the quest vendor was saying "bonjour" or some welcoming gibberish.

I'm french and god damn heard japanese people and english people speaking french made my day it's was very cute

I love these videos I think they are criminally underrated.

WAIT WHAT THERE'S GOING TO BE A SEQUEL !!???? oh and btw you made some little mistakes... 5:39 "Mence!" Is actually "Mince!" And it doesn't mean "Begin!" But something like "Oh crap, I missed!" 5:33 the "oui sir!" is in fact "Oui chef!" But that's just nitpicking. Great video! This game really need some attention.

Little correction at 2:19 he actually says : "Nom d'un chien". Which would be closer to name of a dog

Yay! Solatorobo content! I love you guys for this!

Honestly this game had the perfect mix of cute and cool.

I really wish they'd bring this game back for some sort of sequel or remake, it's a shame the game wasn't received very well.

I've recently discovered this game 4 months ago and when I heard about it and also randomly found a gameplay video of it I was mind blown and is suprised it literally caught my total attention to the game and sence then I really wanted to find the copy and play the game and want to experience the story I wish and would love to try it out if I find a physical copy one day ^^

Tetsuya Kakihara, Red's voice actor, was born in Germany and he speaks both French and German (beside Japanese, of course). He could speak a perfect French but he probably was asked to speak it in a very marked Japanese accent.

I honestly love the game it''s one of my favorites so I love learning more about it.

While people are definitely giving the game its props as it deserves. There still lies the ongoing problem of having to obtain even one of the NA copies. The Japanese and European copies are affordable, although the challenges of understanding the story in Japanese depends on how fluent your Japanese is. Plus the fact that you better hope that there is at least DLC content within the game. But the NA version is a tough one to get because of it's $300 and more price. Currently obtained by scalpers, who do nothing but put very impossible prices for this game, waiting for the day someone is crazy enough to buy them. Or just wave it in your face as if to mock you that you've never obtain such a rare game. Mind you was a decade ago, and only had a limited copies sold. Anyone who has over at least $200 dollars can chance it if the price says so. I got my copy for way less than that when I bought it ON RELEASE! I just hope CC2 can do re-releases and try to do more for their games because we gamers have a hard time getting games like this. Those who have a rough time getting a physical can at least use emulator and matching roms, that are available. Or just hack your DS or 3DS. EDIT: This is why Fuga Memories of Steel is going on digital, because even though their games make success there in Japan, as it shows, there's not much sales in NA regions. At least this way, we can enjoy the next game of the series without having to deal with physical game issues. Heck I hope Limited Runs gets this game on their list so I can buy a spare.

Im french and I had no idea what they were saying for 90% of these lines because the audio is so crunched

I finished that game yesterday and it was very good. When I bought it, I was in the zone, in the amazon. 50€. Kyahhhhhhh!

Literally my most favourite game of all time. I remember playing this for the first time and reaching the end of the first part after like 15 hours ingame, totally expecting the game to be over. That second part was so good though. Kind of makes you want to forget everything about the game as to experience it for the first time again.

I started the game not that long ago(2 days ago I believe) and finished it today The characters were amazing and I'm starting the second half of the game soon.

Is it weird to say thank you for doing a video of Solatorobo? LOL Solatorobo has to be one of my most favorite games ever! And it's kind of both cool and nice to at least get an idea of what it is that the characters are saying. I will say though having watched Gurren Lagaun (did I spell that right?) Solatorobo is different but if it was anime it would be in the mecha related group of anime. LOL I love the story and world building of the game including the art and music. I just wish it had gotten some more love but at least there's finally another proper sequel game! LOL I do know for those who want to try to play it, it's worth it! I would say it's kind of more casual then other games I guess like the Tales series or Legend of Zelda since it's also kind of a more lighthearted and fun then super serious at times. Nice thing though it isn't too hard to gain experience and we'll level up. It's fun but it is still hard at times. I've gotten beaten up by some bosses like 5 times or kept getting low health a lot, but that might just also be my skill level or other. LOL I would say if you can't buy it or are not sure yet I know that's there's a playthrough on KZfaq from several years ago that's still around. I watched it and even though I spoiled the story for myself it was worth it!! LOL Solatorobo is still my favorite DS game and has been a big wellspring of inspiration for me as a writer for years now

So, I'm still perplexed. Why did the developers use English dubbing in Tail Concerto and French dubbing in Solatorobo: Red the Hunter? Heck, they have promotional screenshots of the game that have the quest sign in plain English. I guess there was a dispute as to the language to be used in-game when recording the voice overs or localization reasons? I don't know for sure. Plus, the French dubbing is present in the American version of this game, and no English dubbing, why?! However, I'm thankful that there are English subtitles to help me understand the conversations. If your interested in seeing the screenshots, here's the link to the website. Be quick because the site is running on adobe flashplayer. There is a high chance the site may be inaccessible after the December 2020 flashplayer discontinuation. You have been warned. Also be sure to select the "The Shepherd Republic" tab and browse the screenshots there to see what I am referring to. - solatorobo.com/ Lastly, DLC was made for this game and was pre-installed to the north american versions of this game. European and others will need to search online for the missing DLC and follow the instructions for installation since the DLC, at one time, was featured as a free downloadable on the DS Shop. Sadly, the DS Shop was pulled down ages ago. If you ask me, this decision to make the DLC pre-installed for only the north american release is vastly infuriating. Once installed, and this is for all regions, you must complete the first chapter to unlock the DLC content for it to be playable. And to give further context, the DLC are all lore-based quests. No cosmetics or other additions. Also, I'd like to share this treat with you, enjoy and share with others! It is the "Solatorobo Perfect Soundtrack"! - mega.nz/folder/TXBGwKbR#Ofr3hPunPdgjO-IoPPrGiA

Funny you post this now considering just yesterday CC2 just spoke up about potentially remaking the game.

The first thing I thought when I saw this was how similar the aesthetic of this game is to that of Castle in the Sky, a movie by the Japanese studio Studio Ghibli.

I recently completed this gamme for the first time in a matter of days, i put down around 60 hours into this game, I love it, its an amazing game even in 2024 after the Nintendo DSI is long gone, i would say it is worth such a high price and is still worth playing, the first half of the game itself couldve been its own game, the writing, the plot this little known DS game with a spiritual successor that is just now coming out, is much better then MOST triple aaa games out there. recently FUGA melodies of steel 2 came out, they both are amazing games which are also worth playing

Never thought I'd see this game on here 👀

wow I forgot this game existed. The second part of the game also got me by surprise, I thought the game was over when I got there.

I'm metaphorically punching myself for giving this game away 4 years ago, but then again... I didn't know it was THAT rare and sought after.

I remember Blanck we're say something like "Star finger" during his boss stage.

I've been trying to find an inexpensive copy for this for YEARS. I might have to cave and play a ROM or something. (Also, obvious furry bait)

I bought this game about that time it was released so it was kinda cheap and I'm so happy that I didn't sell it after my first playthrough. Now the game is just expensive as hell. :o

This is the one game that made me (almost) like French, they made me study it for half my life and i never managed to learn anything meaningful, plus i've forgotten the little i had managed to grasp so it's basically funny gibberish to me.

"Nom d'un chien! et Voilà!, Oui Chef! , Mince ! En Garde!" In french we not have a "U" Between "G" and "A" You're Welcome

I could listen to Red talk all day. Omelette du Fromage. ❤

8:38: I'm so happy I buyed the game when he was released ! XD And I strongly recommend playing Fuga: Melody of cold steel, wich is quite a spiritual sequel of the game in the same universe X3

I find it fun to study the naming conventions for this series, so I just wanted to come back to give some examples: * Red's mecha is named the Dahak, which takes its name from Azi Dahaka (sources vary, but some believe it to mean "man-like dragon"), a serpent-like figure in Zoroastrian lore. Angra Mainyu, the pure evil opposite of the benevolent creator deity Ahura Mazda, is said to have created Azi Dahaka as a means of filling the world with destruction and terror, before a hero defeated Azi Dahaka and bound him to a cave below Mount Damavand. * Red and Chocolat's ship, the Asmodeus, is named for a king of demons spoken of in different Abrahamic scriptures (most notably the Book of Tobit), known for spreading the sin of lust among humanity. * Béluga's mecha is called the Salamander- a creature often associated with fire in numerous cultures, with many believing that it could withstand its effects. The art books reveal that his ship is called the Smerg, which… no idea. The kana is "スメーグ", so see if you have better luck. * Opera's mecha is known as the Tiamat, after the primordial goddess in Mesopotamian mythology representing both the salt water of the oceans and the chaos of creation, along with being the mother of all the gods that followed. Unfortunately, a war between the older and newer gods broke out, and Tiamat was eventually slain by her descendant Marduk, who created the heavens and earth from her corpse. * Gren's mecha is the Mephisto, and Calua's is the OverMephisto. As in Mephistopheles. I don't think I even need to explain this one, and yes, all the demon naming is probably intentional if there's this much of it. * In ancient Roman mythology, Lares were guardian deities that protected all under their domain (often households, but not always), and Lemures (or "larvae") were the wandering and vengeful shades/specters of the deceased. * Nero and Blanck's mechas are known as the Zairita and Srvara respectively. Azi Zairita ("yellow dragon") is itself an alternate name for Azi Sruvara ("horned dragon"), a poison-spewing beast in Zoroastrian lore that devoured many men and horses before the heroic mortal Keresaspa killed it. * Baion's name was theorized by a Japanese website to be a corruption of "phaion", the ancient Greek word for "gray". His mecha is known as the Bérius; no luck with that one either but my guess is that it's also ancient Greek or Latin. * "Septentrion" means "north".

„OH MY GOD“ *shows picture of Joseph Joestar*

I don't know french, but I could still have guessed à propos, because we say the same thing in norwegian. Fun fact!

FINALLY I FIND SOLA TO ROBO CONTENT

I have. I've had this game since 2013.

can we get a a what are they saying in overwatch video possibly?

I love this Game. And for everyone who wants to play it. Try getting a European Copy. Its still in English and it costs only about 15-20€ (+ Shipping). Unfortunately we did not get the Soundtrack like in the US. But for everyone, who just want to play the Game, its a good alternative.

Ah, this was before the old PS1 game is being constantly listed at near 450+

Oh yeah, at least I can figure out the "T'as vu" thing with this video :) And as a native french speaker, if I can give a small fix : at 07:38 it is "Mince" (Damn!) and not "Mence" :)

Rumors about a sequel surfaced in 2012... I... I'd hate to say it, but I don't think there's gonna be a sequel...

A rare and forgotten gem of a game. Always thought it was odd they spoke french for some reason.

This game needs either a remake or remaster.

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! My favourite DS game.

A great game

snagged a loose copy of it at gamestop back on 2014 for 15 dollars.

I know some French, but I couldn't understand most of the voice clips while playing the games because of the low fidelity, and I'd never heard of "coucou" until I watched this video.

Funny later that Red's VA also plays Lilac Cookie in Cookie Run Kingdom

Next up could we know what are the J'avo saying in Resident evil 6?

throwback to when my nana picked this up for roughly 2 euros in a saturn xd

I got the game from GameStop a bagillion years ago, figuring out that the English version is worth some money was a cool surprise lmao

skeet

You should try doing a "What are they saying" for Fuga: Melodies of steel A game by the same developers which is a prequel to Solatorobo

As a french, I assumed that they did a localisation for every language on the DS with the japanese actors... XD their accents and pronunciation are hilarious

This games 2nd Story is very similar to Final Fantasy IX's Story

What about the friendly faced guard by the water :(

Honestly, the premise of the world seems to bare more than a passing resemblance to Xenoblade 2.

1:34 BNA: Brand New Animal anyone? Sounds familiar right now?

As a french normie, I can say your accent is quite good

Spanish guards in assassins creed

This game need a remake for ps5😀

Whats up

It's not "mence" but "mince" Like "heck" i suppose It's "en garde" not Guard

So, did you make that episode on Fuga?

I'm french, and I always thought that it was just translated

スーパーロボット大戦参戦してほしいです。

Might I suggest “JoJo: Heritage for the Future”?

Boy, am I glad I got my EUROPEAN copy back in 2013 or so. If I had discovered this game now years later I'd be pissed

Funny how this is french and the first game is full on english dubbed

*French dialogue with a strong japanese accent XD

.......Okay....3 years after this vid came out, I find it in my recommended and decide to look on Ebay, see how much this game is worth. I'm expecting a pretty pricey game due to the low print run.....but...HOLY CRAP!! It ranges from $200+ on average to one psycho asking for, and I am NOT joking $1,000,000usd +$5.85 shipping....or best offer. Dude is straight up going for a HARD SELL on that...people wills see that big number and not even bother seeing the much smaller "Or best offer"....

Wait i Nevers played this game They speak french in it thats so cool im french and french dubbed game are super super rare so imma Play this game rn Lol i just watched the video and i swear the japanese accent is so funny with french Words lol

luckely they put subtittles in tom clancy rainbow six siege

2:31 for me he's just sayin "bam" there... and at 2:48 the translation is good, but due to the tone she used, it 's more likely that it was meant to be used like "seriously" like in the sentence "seriously man, you can't do that". but yeah since its japaneses talking in french... 6:56 sounds like she's just singing "la la la" there... 28:00 this... is not even understandable, but it's certainly not "tu es non" wich mean nothing (you are no). it could be "tu es là"(you are here) but again i'm not sure 7:40 what is "mence"? i'm pretty sure you meant "mince" which is a exclamation we say when something went bad, like "crap"

JOJO HFTF WHEN?

Tail concerto?

ニンテンドースイッチ版新作やってほしいです。

They should cod 4 for the russians cuz their screaming is hilarious

yep humans being total jerks just like in most sci fi and fantasy

3:00 subtitles really said “allah” ☠️

What are they saying in trackmania turbo ?

ガンダムビルドダイバーズリライズコラボしてほしいです。

THANK YOU FOR THE "OH LA LA" CLARIFICATION!!! SO MANY PEOPLE THINKS IT'S ALWAYS seductive... somehow Baguette speaking here

Je suis belge et je peut vous dire qu'il sont raison meme les mot depile

If you are of slavic etnicity, especially Polish, you're gonna have a giggle the first time you meet the "Kurvaz" XD and you're gonna have a giggle of a lifetime, when you collect all 4 pieces of a picture named "Three Kurvaz" XD

Anybody thinks Xenoblade Cronichles 2 copied most of Solatorobo storyline and characters?

Would it surprise you if the way I found out about this game was through porn?

Is this game a movie to or just a game.
