FUUUUCK i love the FG trailer so much it is a genuine piece of artistry. I only wish there wasn't such a disrepency with Norton's piercing and where he was in the mine during the explosion bc those things ruin my immersion but everything else??? Mwah. Chefs kiss.

The art style is a gorgeous mix between 2d and 3d, gives me puss in boots last wish/spiderverse vibes. The painterly style and the muted yet expressive colors really show how terrible Norton's life was. GOD I'm so ill.

The symbolism and story told is straightforward without any confusing imagery but still poetic in it's pacing. It unveils new information that doesn't contradict with past material but build on it such as Norton's coworkers harassment. You can tell what is being implied while still keeping things open for interpretation like when Norton is fighting with FG in his mind. That scene essentially confirms that a. He staged the accident on purpose and b. He *does* struggle with his conscious. This imo cements his status as morally grey (and therefore one of the best idv characters/lh)

The music!!! The tune Norton hums is also the song playing in the background. At first it's just the haunting strings before it hits the climax where Norton is fighting with FG to detonate the explosives. It turns into a fullblown choir that really hilights how low hes gotten. And when he's resurrected as FG the song just completely distorts into another song with sharp pauses in the middle... shivers every time.

The voice acting from cn/jp/eng are all so BRILLIANT. They all have a lovely deep baritone that's just so *Norton*. They translate between the langauges extremely well as if Norton himself is speaking those langauges. Wataru Hatano (JP) is a professional singer and normally his voice is at a higher register afaik. In endless banquet it does sound like hes straining his voice to sound more nortonesque when normally his voice is much clearer. In the trailer however his voice is much more fluid while still retaining Norton's huskiness. NOW I don't know if his chinese va is the same as his ingame one, nor have I heard this guy in extra material, but holy shit... holy shit. THAT'S NORTON!!! that's norton wrap it up gang. I think this guy has the deepest voice outta them all and I'm glad he didn't compromise Norton's chainsmokeresque voice for a lighter one like the fans bullied Norton's ingame VA into doing. And Norton's eng va... I NEED TO KNOW WHO THIS GUY IS HE IS SO SO SO GOOD. I think this is the same VA from COA although I feel his sound in COA has more vibrato in it but it's fine. I can't wait to hear him sing for nymph awards! I really hope hes gonna sing or at least someone that sounds like him. I cannot imagine Norton sounding any other way he's awesome. The line delivery on "poverty is the worst curse... but sometimes there are ways to make a change..." CHILLS CHILLS CHILLS!!!

Photographer - The Emperor

Going insane over the new idv tarot design like a very normal person, specifically looking at Joseph.

I'll be looking at meanings from a range of websites though most tend to follow the same message.

General Meaning

This is the card that asserts authority, organizes systems to retain maximum control and is the paternal influence of the Tarot deck, assuring that protection and security are provided to all those playing by the rules.

From this meaning alone it feels like the Emperor is the perfect card for Joseph. Immediately my first thoughts go to his inventions and obsession with the mirror world. The CN translation of his third character day letter sees him call the photo world akin to an "eternal kingdom", which has more hopeful connotation.

Joseph doesn't necessarily have malicious intent. Yes, the things he's done are utterly heinous and would be to any rational person who heard of them, but the bottom line is that both Joseph's hubris and his genuine belief that what he is creating and working towards will help people. Joseph sees living as suffering, but he doesn't see the afterlife as something that can guarantee him happiness either. Because the afterlife is foreign and unknown to the happiness he experienced as a child.

Instead he chooses the camera world. Preservation, something he has created, where everyone can be happy together, trapped together in a beautiful eternity. The photo world is the peaceful world where they will all rest, away from the adversities of life.

So how does this all relate to the Emperor? I like to think that it makes sense that because of how many things in Joseph's life that were out of his control ruined him, in the broader sense he does need (or feels like he needs) a huge sense of control, as much control as possible. The camera world allows him that. He's the master of that world but he does not assert such authority to rub his own ego necessarily, but because he's convinced that people need protecting. That living is suffering, and he's merely doing what's best for all. He is protecting them.

I also want to note it might be important that we are served the Emperor card upright. The reversed position of the card implies a lack of control leading to an abuse of power and unwise decisions. What Joseph does is undeniably an abuse of power objectively, but describing it as just that loses a lot of the nuance behind his actions and motivations. Despite how clearly mentally unstable Joseph is he is in control of what he is aiming to do. Like what the Emperor card represents, he has a burning ambition to achieve his goal no matter what it takes — and we see that from the way he does not falter after all his friends leave him, how it's implied that not even Elliott could stop him even though his words left some impression on him.

Design Notes

Moving on, I'd like to look at the design in more detail in comparison to what the traditional Emperor card looks like.

To get the full picture of the design we can look at the actual heritage of the Tarot card, which read me down a rabbit hole of exploring the history of the Emperor card exclusively. One detail that stuck out to me particularly was the fact Joseph isn't facing the audience in his card. In more contemporary decks the Emperor faces you head on, but Joseph isn't. I'd say this is likely in relation to the Tarot de Marseille characteristics.

By the mid-seventeeth century after Tarot card production had moved to France, the Emperor gained the characteristic of sitting on his throne in profile with his legs crossed.

The position of his legs was staged for maximum effect. Sitting at ease with one leg crossed over the other traditionally signified the highest status person in the room, or someone about to pass a legal judgment.

This doesn't drastically change the meaning of the card itself, but I thought it was a cool detail nonetheless. It feels quite fitting for Joseph ( Judge skin aside ) in the sense that he believes that what he is deciding for people is right, or that he even has the authority to in the first place. It fits well with his arrogance and ultimately all the other decisions that lead him to his self-destruction in a way.

The detail doesn't stop there. The Emperor card changed yet again with the occult tradition.

19th century occultists like Eliphas Levi, Oswald Wirth and Papus retained the Tarot De Marseille image but added their own cosmic interpretation. Particularly They saw the Emperor’s body as a triangle with his legs making a cross. Together these form the symbol for alchemical sulfur and allude to spirit dominating matter ( now where does that sound familiar ... )

What's particularly relevant to Joseph is that Wirth changed the Emperor's legs slightly to be more like the astrological symbol of Jupiter.

Because of the Emperor’s association with the number four and the Hebrew letter Daleth (door or womb) occultists saw the Emperor presiding over the birth of all material things, then ruling the material world as Jupiter. The globe topped by a cross, a traditional symbol of the Emperor’s worldly and spiritual power, was reinterpreted as the astrological sign for Venus, emphasizing the concepts of birth and creation. The Emperor represents the creative fire at the heart of all beings; so he’s also energy trapped in the material world.

So how does this all relate to Joseph? Well as I said this doesn't drastically change the meaning of the card, but there are small details and nuances that you could interpret liken to Joseph. Like how the pose he's sat in originates from when tarot deck production grew in France. On the other hand, the connotations of Jupiter could be the way he did achieve his goal in a way in creating the mirror world — defying the rules of life and death itself. Since the Emperor also represents the creative fire at the heart of all beings it could also be alluded to Joseph's origins as a creative in his journey, and his wish to see something more than the dullness and dread of life.

There is a lot more to the card heritage of the Emperor and other parts I could have mentioned, but I decided to include these as the most relevant. I'll have it referenced in the end if you'd like to check it out!

Now I'll continue my insanity into what the Emperor card means in certain contexts.

Past

In the past position, The Emperor represents a father or other authority figure who laid down the law and set a firm definition of acceptable behavior for you. Perhaps you rebelled against him or his teachings, or maybe they helped to keep you out of harm’s way. If you are in a secure position now, you have The Emperor in this position to thank. But some people do abuse their authority and if you are alone and alienated after being witness to the abuse of authority, this card confirms that the blame is there. Often we are given rule over our world and mess things up ourselves. Other times, the trust that put us in the care of another is at fault when this person goes overboard and so The Emperor represents a tyrant.

Honestly I don't have one set idea of interpretation in regards to Joseph and his story in terms of the past.

The first thing that came to mind was his father. We don't know a lot of things about Joseph's family outside of Claude especially with his relationship with his parents. All I can think of is Joseph's 2021 character day art where there were noticeable cracks over his father and mother in the portraits behind him.

Considering Joseph is hardly in a secure position, it might be implied that something went wrong too with his parents. When he lost Claude he had no other immediate family that we know of aside from them, but until he was of age he still would have been under their care. Was there a certain pressure placed on him as the only remaining son of the Desaulnier family? Did Joseph feel perhaps alienated by his parents who may have tried to move forward much quicker than himself? These are questions that we can't answer yet.

The other "tyrant" of Joseph's past I had in mind could have been the person who lent him those books on the occult when he visited the unnamed manor. I already alluded to such a person bearing similarities to Henry and Dorian in my little ramble after finishing the picture of Dorian Grey. But again, there's nothing to he said for sure.

Present

When The Emperor is in the present position, you have the rule of law before you to guide you on your journey. This card is especially strong in the present position as it gives you an absolute confidence to move toward a goal. This can also represent the influence of another person in your life right now. Are you so enamored of a new friend or lover that you have started following the advice and lifestyle habits of him or her? Have you discovered a new hero in the arts whose work has expanded your consciousness to the point that it is hard to relate to people who have not had a similar reaction to this person’s artistic output? Is there a new teacher in your life who has changed the way you think? Perhaps a new person at work is transforming the way you approach your on-the-job goals. The theme running through all of these possibilities is that one way of seeing the world is coming to dominate the way you experience life.

I've highlighted that last part for reasons that I've already stated in this post. But that line in particular is pretty relevant to Joseph.

Joseph who could not run move on from his grief and instead fell deeper into it. Joseph who could never enjoy life the same without Claude in it and after seeing the horrors that death brings, in his brother's death and the revolutionary war that tore up everything he had ever loved and known. Joseph whose life was dominated by his grief, anger and anguish that pushed away those who might have loved and cared for him — even Elliott, at the very end, could not save him.

Future

The future position is an uncomfortable position for The Emperor. The days and weeks ahead are vague and quite affected by the smallest decisions of the here and now. The Emperor card demands to assert itself. When The Emperor card is here, anticipate a change to come into your life in a bold manner; expectations to conform in the way you carry yourself may be part of this picture. Regardless of the situation, understand that new demands to follow a specific behavioral prescription will be coming your way and coming in the near future. Prepare now to submit, evade or resist.

There's a number of ways you could interpret this and none are strictly right or wrong. A lot of which echoes much of the sentiments of needing control, disliking uncertainty and particularly change in general ...

It could also be interpreted in regards to the trajectory of Joseph's life after Claude's death — what became of his future. We have seen Joseph has gained a habit of self-restraint now — not truly speaking what's on his mind but rather speaking what he needs to achieve a means to an end. He's someone who does feel the weight of peoples' expectations on him and seeks to excel past them, and that particularly becomes evident post the tragedies of his younger years. He changes particularly in the way he carries himself, whether that be influence of his own grief or that new-risen demand as the Desaulnier's surviving son and the pressure he put on himself.

Final Notes

You made it to the end! You must be as crazy as me or smth damn.

Anyways this was an unnecessarily long ramble of me basically saying how perfect this card is for Joseph and his story and I'm sure there's so many other elements I missed out and failed to convey. But this is all for fun! Don't take my words as law.

I kind of want to do some more for a few of my favs so ..

Things have been a bit hectic with my packages, but thanks to @softlilvesta​ I got the chance to work on Aquamarine x Pearl! It is, of course, the CD with both my biases on it, so you could see why I got a bit restless and impatient 😂

It is a bit of a demanding industry, and for them to have been around it from a young age definitely made them tougher than they seem!

CD is still available to order from here for those who want to have a physical copy, too~!

The CD translations have also been updated on the masterpost here, so please check it out when you can~!

[Identity V Stage Side: Survivor Extra Stage English Translation Script]

I just bought a split for Identity V Stage in Blu-ray and I just noticed that I haven't found the translation for the extra games (the other games besides the main story).

So I took a liberty to try translating it as a script!

Please note that the game with Robbie is more or less the same with the main story so I didn't translate it.

As usual, reblog is appreciated but no reposting! Please credit me in case you're going to use it!

Here’s my English cover of Diagnosis from the first Identity V Stage play. I submitted the cover to the IDV All Stars contest but apparently seemingly only gameplay videos are allowed for the technical category despite telling me I could enter a cover.

The translation was done by @ryota-kunstranslations, who also gave me permission to enter the contest <3

Greetings. I was reading the "warnings" pdf you included in "IDV Stage Side: S" translation and you mention that we can re-translate it into our languages. A friend and I want to translate it into Spanish but we were wondering if we could upload it? (without any video of the stage play included, of course) And if so, if it could be in a place outside of Tumblr, like Wattpad for example?

Hello! Please DM me for this.
