I love the Paralives aesthetic. Just looks so chill to play.

From the Patreon post: "The cool part about the music inside the Build mode is that each track will have 2 different versions: one for daytime and another one for night time. As the player switches time of day the track versions will switch too to fit the different mood." So the day/night music is for build mode.

i like that they don't have a specific language. i feel like if they spoke a real language, it'd become really repetitive really fast hearing the same few conversations over and over

I actually enjoyed hearing those intense sounds! It differentiates this language from the traditional English accent in Simlish for example, and it sounds more like Latino languages like Portuguese, Spanish, but also reminds of Japanese! 🎉

I’m from America and agree with you Satch. Other people groups should hear themselves. I love that international people are saying it sounds similar to their mother tongue. That’s exciting. I don’t necessarily have to hear myself as an English speaker. I also hope that more ethnic sounds are introduced to Paralives cuz even as a a Black woman from the States none of the Sims voices sound similar to my tongue. Which is a mix of broken southern and northern English. Basically slang is what I mean. Tbh Sims sound like they speak proper American English most of the time. 🤷🏾‍♀️

LOVE the way this language sounds. And paralives aeshetics are spot on, finally a relaxing game we can sink into.

I just love the cute and cozy vibe of Paralives. from the overall aesthetic and art style to now the language and soundtrack, it’s calming and lovely :)

i love how real you are in your videos

They have a phonetics table!? oh that's so cool, that's how you know they're really taking this seriously, those things are super useful to really break down language and components of individual words. I had to use phonetics tables, specifically the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), in one of my elective linguistics courses and it really helped me in my Shakespearean course to break down the plays in ways I'd never considered before. This is all to say that there's so much underlying meaning you can discover using a phonetics table, I'm so impressed they're using one and showing it to us. Also for those who don't know, all of those words, labial-glottal and stops-liquids, indicate the precise movement and location used to produce the sounds; it's really in-depth.

Verlan in French is when you change the order of sylables in words, like "femme" becomes "meuf" or "bête" - "teubé". :D

It feels cozy with a chill vibe.

it sounds pretty good to me. im glad it doesnt sound like any language ive ever heard

😊 the music in Paralives is so calming

Hi !! I’m French, yes « parler » is a real word it’s French for « to speak » 3:16 2:42 and you remember it from pirates of the Caribbean because « pourparler » is used and it means some sort of negotiations 3:19 And for the Verlan it’s kind of a slang we have, it consist in saying the words backwards, even the name Verlan is made of the word l’envers (which means backwards) by taking the 2 different syllabuses and switching them (l’en-vers -> vers-l’en but then changing a bit how you write it, it’s not about the orthography but more about the different sounds and pronunciation) 🥰

With the language, I think we’re just used to Simlish which has the phonetics of English so we just aren’t used to hearing a fake language based on French phonetics

It’s looking like the type of game you settle down with a brew and a pile of blankets to watch someone play it, looks so chill 🧘‍♀️

It's unique enough from simlish that I like it. I also like that kind of cel-shading thing they've got going. You can tell it's "The Sims but not" but, considering the stranglehold EA's had on the entire genre, that's not necessarily a bad thing. Honestly, I'm more interested in the differences from Sims than the similarities.

Can’t wait to play this game. This game looks cozy and warm. Love the updates ❤️

i like how the personalities are really shown in the subtleties in the mannerisms

Just wanted to say satch, I don’t even care about paralives that much but still watch all your videos on it - love your content man, you’re one of the KZfaqrs where if you post a video I’ll watch it regardless, because you’re funny and entertaining. Thanks for all the work you put into your channel, it really shows!

I love the way these Parafolk look, the language sounds amazing, and the music is spectacular, I will wait forever for this game lol

I like how soft the parafolk's voices are

As a linguist, I love hearing the paralives language. It's definitely different from English phonetics, and that's what makes it unique! It's more... separate from other languages. They're doing a good job so far, and they're putting focus into EVERYone, not just English speakers. Much more immersive! *Edit: HOLD TF ON THEY HAVE AN INTERNATIONAL PHONETIC ALPHABET CHART???? they went crazy on this one I'm in love... And trust me. We laugh at "labial" too.

The fact you describe the phonetic chart and symbols as sexual made me laugh so hard!! I can't look at it again now

Parli means talk in Italian, actually 😅

Truthfully i thought they would go more “Ah” sounds to match “Parafolk”…it definitely needs more work. I completely agree that id like it to sound less english phonetic like and more asian phonetic. I don’t want them to rush anything with this game. There’s so much potential that i’m actually excited for :)

Paralives looks AMAZING I can cry 😻😻😻

All the "ki" and "i" language is just more asian, people are just used to the english phonems

It might be too soon to say, but Paralives is gonna be something special. I can feel it. I just pray the development doesn't turn into a shitshow like Omori's was.

I’m really sick at the moment and I’ve been binge watching all your videos. I love how real and funny you are Satch, definitely my favorite KZfaqr :)

I love the songs in build mode and live mode! It's very relaxing😌

Simlish is way too iconic it's almost impossible to match

I really like it 👏👏👏👏

The language sounds like that one episode of Friends when Joey is trying to learn French

paralives just looks so cute and cozy. like the kind of game youd play while drinking tea

I just wanna say that I love your laugh.

"I was just lying to you HAHAHAHAH!!" 🤣 That's perfect! You're fuckin great dude!

Indonesian here, this is not sounded like Indonesian to me lol. Too much tiki wiki while in our vocabularies, 'ki' is quite rare syllable, and it is not spoken like actual Indonesian accent lol. Since Indonesian uses combination of prefix and suffix to build words, many indonesian words are composed with prefix and suffix syllables, like me- (mə), pe- (pə), -an, etc, so those syllable will be very often to hear on Indonesian conversation. While -i is a valid suffix, it is used to build verbs, hence it is very rarely appears in the end of a sentences, let alone the rarity of 'ki' syllable ('ki' itself is not a valid suffix), like in the example conversation. The Paralives team should perhaps raise some volunteer among their supporters who has linguist background to help them build a gibberish, yet still logical language. I believe Simlish was also constructed in that manner before, although not as complex as other fantasy language like the Elvish languages or alien languages in Star Wars or Star Trek. 😆

I liked the nervous laughter. This will be a good switch game I hope .

I love this language! It sounds worldly, like depending on what we are used to we associate it with different languages. I think it sounds a little like French and Filipino.

OOh the Animal Crossing comparison (music) really hits; it gives me that kind of vibe..Very comfy

They sound so cute!

i cant wait for this game

Hey Satch 👋👋

I mean Have the people complaining about "too many e's" Ever heard another language? Especially Asian languages-

They have said that the day/night track is indeed for build mode and not live mode. The name btw is derived from french parler (pronounced something like parlay) which means ”to speak/talk” and i guess it also kinda sounds a like para-li

The soundtrack gives me Life Is Strange vibes, I'm loving it 🥺

I never have the music on when I play anything and I forgot for a minute that not everyone does that lol

The language immediately made me think of Pikachu

I’m American asf and I agree completely with the accent opinion for TS5 it would be pretty refreshing… also Satch is bae ❤

i think the soundtrack sounds alot like the soundtrack of life is strange and i absolutly love it c:

THIS GAME MAKES THE MOST EXCITED 🎉

They named the build mode song farewell froggy because they are coming for animal crossing and that froggy chair. But that's just a theory, a game theory.

big agree i just got the jungle pack begrudgingly and im disappointed that none of the locals have an accent and Salvadoradan isn't any different sounding at all

I like the language 🤷🏻‍♀️ I like that it’s different

I actually quite like it. it sounds cute and it really appeals to me.

The paralives soundtracks give me such a strange but nice feeling. Like nostalgic but I've never heard it before lol. Also it sounds kinda like the game Life is strange, anyone else think so? Like that vibe

Everyone is saying Parli reminds them of totally different languages which is interesting. The music is lit and I really can't wait for the release

Maybe if it was a, in live mode song, it could have a setting, to turn it off. I sometimes, or always wanted, music to play while, ex. when Sims were doing whatever. But can always hope. The accent thing, is such a small, but touchable feature. Love that. Take care, and all.

I'm quite surprised you noticed it's a bit Indonesian, as one myself i can hear a bit resemblance in the soft-spoken intonations. Personally i think having alot of "i"s makes it feel more like 1 language.

Honestly, I prefer this to the Simlish… it’s less of a headache for me. Of course, that’s just my opinion, but I would like some differences in accents between sims(obv not the name but I don’t know the given name)

I am SO excited about Paralives. Im so ready for another simulation game

Im Indonesian and very surprised you’re familiar with our language! It does sounds like our language tho, its like gibberish from here

I find Paralives to be a cozy game that I would like to play. I like the art style as well. I also prefer more of a gibberish sort of language. So, I can interpret things in my own way. I'm excited about Paralives and can't wait until I can play it! In LBY I do like the ability to hop from one character to the next almost instantly, and the skateboards are pretty cool. LBY is very in depth and customizable in many aspects (to the point of being able to edit coding) but that would stress me out more haha. I'm not really a fan of the art style (that could change but at this moment, I'm not a fan). Paralives seems more of the type of game people who just want to play and relax and make up stories and family trees. Back when Sims 2 was popular, this was the way alot of players I knew played the game (including myself). I know alot of Sims 4 players who also play this way (also me). LBY seems to be more for players who enjoy things like coding, animation, and machinima. Especially with how it's created to enable changes to the coding when you want.

I actually like the way it sound's.

Their clutter is more detailed, too wonder how much is workable?

This game does remind me of animal crossing in terms of coziness and just a casual cute game to play

As a U.S. American, I think it's justified to be U.S. American-phobic.

oh wow a canadian made game has a french accent....how surprising it's almost like they are using their environment to make the game similar to another game I know.

I wasn't so sure about this game from some of the sneak peeks we have seen, but after watching this it has grown on me. The style of the game and characters is interesting. The people look like cartoon characters. It has that very drawn look, which is way different from The Sims. I can't wait to see what stuff you can do in this game. Right now I'm still really excited about the curved wall thing since that shit in The Sims is broken as hell.

I know people are annoyed by the "e"’s and the "key"’s but I think it’s adorable and really unique ❤

TO ME, imo, It sounds a bit like Tagalog (the language you speak in the Philippines) but also some kind of african language.

Taka Tiki Paka Liki, the language of Extincted and Forgotten Civilization: *The Inca Empire*

It sound like a shy japanese for me but I dont know japanese. I notice they improve a lot the para faces, they used to look uncanny but its a lot better now.

I agree, sims should have more accents! Considering we have Japan in the sims 4 and several other countries in the sims.

it kinda sounds like french

Imagine people having issues with a fictional language. To me this is SOOOOOOOOOOO far fetched. If I had issues that would be for silly animations and expressions not for the language. Paralives deliver great content since 2019. Period.

I’m sure they will be working with actual linguists, creating a new language is not easy.

Paralives almost feels a bit too chill. I like chill and all but need some drama mixed in at some point. Fun watching it evolve.

the language does annoy me, ngl, but i love how fast they keep moving with this game. i can't wait to play it!

Paralives is already 100x better than Sims 4. 0:32 "Lutschi"

As a European I don't understand how you feel like simlish has an American accent.

I love that they’re taking the time to really put love and effort into Paralives, but at this point this game won’t get released until I’m in my 30s with a whole ass career and family 😂

I'm Indonesian, but I don't think that sounds like us at all. *thinking in 700 languages. Hahaha whatever 😅

What does xenophobic mean? Also I would like if sims had different accents it would make it feel like the “countries” were different or I would like if they got rid of the get together world and then just moved it into the willow creek world and made the hospital a real lot

Haters when the language isn’t sounding literally like English: 😨😨😨

the sims is more goofy, paralives is more cozy, and life by you is more realistic

The speech sounds like babytalk to me but I like that it’s a made up language.

Hi

I keep hearing Chinese Italian. lol

It looks and sounds cute. However a lot of pictures of para's faces have way too much blush across the cheeks and noses. Though I did think they have less on these than in the past

I love it, I’m so excited for paralives. I really think it’s going to be a huge competitor to the sims franchise and even life by you. Life by you looks promising with everything that is said to come. But I think paralives has something special. I think it’s got it’s own gameplay style going. And for a successful game I feel like a game needs something that has its own signature. I feel like paralives has that going for it, so it’s most likely going to be successful. Where as life by you looks a bit messy, and like it doesn’t know what it exactly wants to be yet as far as having it’s own identity, where paralives feels like it does, even though it’s technically a sims game, if you put the two games side by side you can see their two different games.

I'm so confused - you say live mode - live like give. I say live mode - live like jive. What is it? Did I say it wrong my whole life, live, live...? whatever? 😂

I quite like the language in Paralives. Maybe it's also because I'm getting tired of Simlish. At last there is something new and fresh...

I really like how paralives seems to be less resource intensive, unlike life by you... Well i hope so

Tbh some languages have more q and i sounds so..

GPT 4 can create a new language in minutes. It’s no longer a huge task in gaming

They may as well speak English because they are making the same mistake as The Sims did. If you want a gibberish language then the words cannot have meaning - they have to be random. But by assigning meaning to the words, it became a language you just aren't fluent in. You then cannot imagine it means anything, but rather they are having the same boring conversations over and over again. They should be saying different things each time without any words precreated. Rather, they should be throwing random syllables out so that it sounds different every time and you cannot ingrain in your mind that a particular word means this or that. Gibberish must be incomprehensible.

The problem with Paralives is that they have a goaled timeline. How can you aim to ship a product with a launch date. I mean they can even give us what YEAR they aim for. When there’s no timeline there’s little chance of completion.

Inspired by French language? Welll I'm French and I don't see any similarities between what I've heard and French language, haha. As a linguistics enthusiast tough, I wonder if they created a proper grammar for this new language. Honestly, I would prefer to hear real languages than a language that could have been created by a 8-year-old, just adding up random sounds with no grammar at all. Idk, I don't *feel* like I can hear sentences when those Parafolks are talking...? Work in progress I guess.
