[kovopedia]

STORY

"Today is the day of the Seaside School, which the students of Magic Academy Will-o'-Wisp have been looking forward to. Miss Madeleine and her students boarded the magic bus and headed off to their destination, Valencia Beach.

There were eerie rumors about Valencia Beach. They say every year, students who went to camp at Valencia Beach would go missing immediately after the Seaside School. Upon arriving at Valencia Beach, the students have a fun time exploring a cave and having a campfire.

When suddenly! Out of nowhere, mysterious creatures called enigmas showed up and began attacking the students! One by one, the students are whisked away to somewhere else by the enigmas! Their chaperone, Miss Madeleine, was taken away by the enigmas on purpose to save her students.

It seems that the enigmas arrived in this world from an alternate world (plane). How come the enigmas are targeting the Magic Academy's students? With various mysteries in mind, the adventure to reunite your classmates begins…

Trivia - Persimmon facts

When you meet Persimmon in Salamander Cave for the first time, his introduction will be different depending on the language you're playing in!

In the English localization, he says:

Lord Persimmon You there! You think me but a slimeful, slithery salamander of ill intelligence, do you not? Heed my words: you are far from the truth. I am Lord Persimmon, pirate dread! I am Master Chard's...er...most resplendent right-hand man to his deputy assistant's secretary's... Never mind. My duties would only befuddle your feeble, infantile intellects. Perhaps you have heard of me. My name is whispered among thieves and assassins in the galaxy's most bawdy, off-color alleys. They call me...the Embellisher! I round up noisome wizards and drag them by their wicked collars back to Assam. Now that you have beheld the knee-clattering, awe-inspiring evil that is Lord Persimmon himself, hand over the wizards!

But in Japanese, we get to know a little more about him. Note, his JPN name is サンギーヌ Sanguine.

★やい　そこのオマエ。　★ワシをそのヌメヌメした　サンショウウオと同じだと　思っているだろう？　★けしからん！　ワシは　大海賊ルーブー・ソラキュー！　★…様のイチの子分……　★の次の次の次あたり……　★下っぱよりは　ややエラい　ブラッディ・サンギーヌ様　１２７才ッ！　★魔法使いを　かきあつめて　アッサムに　連れて帰るのが　ワシの仕事だ。　★やい　オマエ！　魔法使いを　差し出すが��い！ ★Hey, you there. You think I'm just like those slimy salamanders, don't you? ★For shame! I'm Master Rubu Sorakyu [Chard], the Great Pirate! ★...'s number one subordinate... ★...'s subordinate's subordinate's subordinate... ★But a tad more distinguished than the lower ranks! 127-year-old Master Bloody Sanguine! ★It's my job to round up magicians and haul them back to Assam. ★So you! Hand over the magicians!

His full name, in Japan at least, is Bloody Sanguine, and his age is 127! Why do you suppose this was changed so heavily in English?

Oh well, it was worth a try :P

Huge shoutout to Karik once again for their awesome data-mining skills! This time, they ripped the entire Japanese script of Magical Starsign, and I've been translating a bunch of lines to see how things may have been altered in the English localization!

If any of you have questions about the Japanese script, or are curious about a particular line/scene, send a request in the Ask Box and I'll do my best to answer it in detail!

Here it is after all this time: Floor 50. Despite some unalignments, I think this is the best map I've ever done. Thank you to everyone who's waited.

Unfortunately, I was unable to catch Dinrendu and/or Guardian in the boss space, but when I come across them I will update the map.

Love y'all.

Two years ago today, the administrators of Magical Vacation Wiki on Fandom founded Kovopedia -- the ever-developing English wiki for Magical Vacation and Magical Starsign!!

We seriously can't believe it's already been two whole years since the wiki was first established. With all the advancements we've made, from joining the Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance to bringing in new and old fans of MV/MS, we thank all of you for sticking around to see all of it happen!

New Brownies game finally on the way!?

Two bits of Brownies news today!

First off, they recently put products of their original hanafuda card game "Carta de Flor" on sale, both the deluxe wooden box set and regular set!

Secondly, Brownies personnel on Twitter, namely Kameoka and Seiya, announced that they're looking for potential collaborators!! Kameoka even made a post stating:

【営業です！】 こんな絵本のような雰囲気のあったかい世界観のゲームを作りたいとお嘆きの企業さま、ご連絡お待ちしておりますぞ(^_−)−☆ [We're open!] If you're a company looking to make a game with this kind of picture book-like atmosphere and warm environment, please contact us. We look forward to hearing from you (^_−)−☆

Perhaps they're searching for partners to help them work on "the heartbeat of a new legend" that they teased a while back? The stars are certainly aligning, but what for...? Guess we'll have to wait a little longer to find out!
