Now, sometimes you go in blind on a new game.

有時候玩一款新遊戲，你真的會兩眼一抹黑。

That's how it was for me with Sword Art Echoes of Aincrad.

對我來說，玩《Sword Art Echoes of Aincrad》就是這樣。

我不是《Sword Art Online》的粉絲。

I haven't read the manga, seen the anime theatrical films or live action adaptation, or played any of the games.

我沒看過漫畫、動畫電影或真人版，也沒玩過任何遊戲。

My only knowledge of Sword Art Online is that the characters are trapped in an MMO and if you die in the game, you die in real life.

我對《Sword Art Online》的瞭解，就只有角色被困在一個MMO裡，遊戲裡死了，現實也會死。

That's a pretty compelling basis for a manga or an anime, but

這聽起來很適合做成漫畫或動畫，但

it's particularly interesting as a video set in a video game.

以一個設定在電玩遊戲裡的電玩來說，這點特別有趣。

As it turns out, not knowing much about Sword Art Online made me the perfect guy to sit down with Echoes of Aincrad because, well, it's a little different from what's come.

結果，正因為我對《Sword Art Online》不太瞭解，反而讓我成為最適合來體驗《Echoes of Aincrad》的人，因為，嗯，它跟以往的遊戲有點不一樣。

We dive into that, let's take a quick step back and establish a few things.

在我們深入探討之前，先稍微回顧一下，建立一些基本概念。

First, aside from a short story section of the tutorial that we don't want to spoil, I didn't really see any of the Echoes of Aincrad's story.

首先，除了我們不想爆雷的教學裡的短篇故事部分，我其實沒有看到《Echoes of Aincrad》的任何劇情。

Instead, my time with Incred was spent doing a quest called the Lost Log.

取而代之的是，我在《Incred》裡的時間都花在做一個叫做「Lost Log」的任務上。

But that doesn't mean I can't talk about some of the narrative decisions this single player action RPG makes.

但這不代表我不能談談這款單人動作RPG在敘事上做出的某些決定。

Maybe the biggest departure for the series is that for the first time in its history, you're not going to play as a pre existing character who is part of the story.

對這個系列來說，最大的改變或許是，這是系列史上第一次，你不會扮演一個已經存在於故事中的角色。

取而代之的是，你會創造自己的角色。

When I asked Sword Art Online game series producer Yosuke Futami why they made the switch, he told me there were a couple of reasons.

當我問《Sword Art Online》遊戲系列製作人 Futami Yosuke 為什麼要做這個轉變時，他告訴我有幾個原因。

First, most games in the series have been set in the middle of Sword Art Online's story, which required players to have at least some working knowledge of the series.

首先，系列中的大多數遊戲都設定在《Sword Art Online》故事的中期，這要求玩家至少對系列有一定的瞭解。

Futami hopes that means it will be more approachable for folks who aren't already fans.

Futami 希望這樣能讓還不是粉絲的朋友更容易入門。

Second, he's hoping that by putting the player into the game world as their own character, they'll be able to experience the story of being trapped in a death game themselves.

第二，他希望透過讓玩家以自己的角色進入遊戲世界，他們就能親身體驗被困在死亡遊戲中的故事。

My journey started in the town of Beginnings.

我的旅程從「起始之鎮」開始。

I spent a little time running around, getting a feel for the place and finding some elven statues that taught me some of Aincrad's lore.

我花了一些時間四處逛逛，感受這個地方，並找到了一些教導我關於 Aincrad 傳說的精靈雕像。

The town of Beginnings feels like, well, a starting town in an mmo.

「起始之鎮」感覺就像，嗯，MMO 裡的起始城鎮。

It's got that dense yet artificial feel of a town in a video game, which pulls double duty in a video game set in a video game.

它有著遊戲城鎮那種密集又人工的感覺，這在設定在遊戲中的遊戲裡，有著雙重作用。

Because NPCs feeling like NPCs here is a feature, not a bug.

因為 NPC 感覺像 NPC 在這裡是一種特色，而不是 bug。

The town also shows off how utterly gorgeous Echoes of Aincrad is.

這個城鎮也展現了 Echoes of Aincrad 有多麼的華麗。

這款電玩遊戲看起來真的很不錯。

After seeing the town, I teleported to a nearby terminal.

看完城鎮後，我傳送到附近的傳送點。

在城鎮裡，你隨時都可以傳送。

Picked up a quest, and then teleported to my chest to change up my loadout and level up.

接了個任務，然後傳送到我的寶箱那裡，換了裝備並升級。

You see, Echoes of Ancres started me with a sword and board build and I decided immediately that I would not be doing that because it just didn't feel like me.

你知道嗎，Echoes of Ancres 一開始給了我劍盾的組合，我馬上就決定不走這路線，因為那不像我。

I opted for a great sword and some new gear instead and spent my growth points to maximize what I wanted to do.

我選擇了巨劍和一些新裝備，並把成長點數花在最大化我想要做的事情上。

One of the neat things Echoes of Incred does is rewards you for hitting certain milestones as you level up.

Echoes of Incred 有個很棒的地方是，當你達成某些里程碑時，它會獎勵你。

Generally once you hit five point increments, getting my dex to five, for instance, boosted my sword skill ability damage by 3% while hitting 10 bumped that to 5%.

通常每達到五點的增長，例如我的敏捷達到五，就讓我的劍技傷害增加了 3%，而達到十點時則提升到 5%。

It's easy to play an RPG and feel like individual levels don't do much to make you stronger, but

玩 RPG 遊戲時，有時候會覺得升級好像沒什麼讓你變強的感覺，但

every time I got a new level or hit a new milestone in my time with Echoes of Aincred, I felt it.

在 Echoes of Aincred 的遊玩過程中，每次升級或達成新里程碑時，我都能明顯感受到。

Something Futami confirmed was intentional when I asked him about it.

當我問 Futami 這件事時，他也證實了這是他們刻意設計的。

And in Echoes of Aincrad, you can reset your parameters whenever you want.

而且在 Echoes of Aincrad 裡，你可以隨時重置你的參數。

This isn't typical of Sword Art online as a setting, but

這點跟一般的 Sword Art online 設定不太一樣，但

it makes Echoes of Aincrad more accessible to newcomers and encourages you to experiment with your build until you find something you like.

這讓 Echoes of Aincrad 對新手更友善，也鼓勵你嘗試不同的配點，直到找到你喜歡的組合。

Once I was kitted out good and proper, it was time to go out into the world.

當我把裝備都弄好之後，就準備好出門冒險了。

Echoes of Aincrad is set in an mmo, but it's a single player game.

Echoes of Aincrad 雖然設定在一個 MMO 裡，但它是一款單人遊戲。

When you go out, though, you're not alone.

不過，當你出門時，你並不是孤單一人。

You can select a companion to go with you.

你可以選擇一位夥伴跟你一起出門。

I had my choice of Iori, a healer, the tankier Wiseman, who operates in more of a utility support role.

我當時可以選治療師 Iori，或是比較坦、比較偏向輔助角色的 Wiseman。

I went with Wiseman once we were in the field.

我們進到遊戲裡後，我就選了 Wiseman。

接下來怎麼走，就看我們自己決定。

The map would tell us where we needed to go, but I could only see some of it.

地圖會告訴我們該去哪裡，但我只能看到一部分。

As we traveled, our first enemies were wolves, boars and kobolds, all perfect for getting used to Echoes of Aincrad's combat system.

在我們旅行的過程中，遇到的第一批敵人是狼、野豬和狗頭人，這些都非常適合用來熟悉 Echoes of Aincrad 的戰鬥系統。

A lot of what's here is stuff you've seen before.

這裡面的很多東西都是你以前看過的。

You've got a guard, light and heavy attack, chains that you can alternate between on the floor, fly special attacks, and

你有格擋、輕攻擊和重攻擊，可以在地面上交替使用的連擊，還有飛行特殊攻擊，以及

Ioris, for instance, create a circle that heals you if you stand in it.

舉例來說，Ioris 會創造一個你站在裡面就能補血的圓圈。

You'll also open up additional attacks if you dodge at the right time or manage to parry as you do, and

如果你抓準時機閃避，或是成功格擋，還能解鎖更多額外的攻擊，

而且有些還挺有電影感的華麗招式。

What makes Echoes of Aincrag cool is how dangerous everything feels.

讓《Echoes of Aincrag》很酷的地方，是所有東西都充滿危險感。

Standard enemies can and will kill you if you're not paying attention, especially early on.

如果你沒注意，一般的敵人也會把你殺死，尤其是在遊戲初期。

And they're not exactly the forgiveness, give and forget type.

而且他們也不是那種會原諒你、讓你忘記的類型。

They'll follow you for a long time if you pick a fight with them.

如果你跟他們打起來，他們會跟著你很久。

Kobolds will block your attack and retreat and try to blind you.

狗頭人會格擋你的攻擊、後退，然後試圖讓你失明。

If they do, the screen darkens and is filled with static.

如果他們這麼做了，畫面會變暗，充滿雜訊。

It's a great effect that does exactly what it says makes it a lot harder to see.

這個效果很棒，完全符合它的說明，讓你看得更清楚。

Wolves, on the other hand, are nimble and aggressive and travel in packs.

狼群則很靈活、具攻擊性，而且牠們會成群結隊行動。

Boars are bruisers that you probably don't want to go toe to toe with directly, and

野豬是很強悍的敵人，你大概不想直接跟牠們硬碰硬，而且

there are weird plants that attack from range with vines and can burrow under the ground.

還有一些奇怪的植物會用藤蔓遠距離攻擊，還能鑽入地下。

And that's not even getting to the elite enemies, which are bigger, faster and stronger and come with additional attacks.

這還沒算到精英敵人，牠們更大、更快、更強，還會額外攻擊。

但到目前為止最糟的，是黃蜂。

They fly, they shoot poison, they hit pretty hard.

牠們會飛，會噴毒，攻擊力也很強。

Them boys is tough, so much so that I felt like San Andreas CJ whenever I saw one.

這些傢伙很難纏，強到我每次看到牠們，都覺得自己像《San Andreas》的CJ。

When I asked him about the enemies and specifically mentioned the wasps, he nodded and said ah, wasp.

當我問他關於敵人，特別提到黃蜂時，他點了點頭，說「啊，黃蜂」。

The rest of our interview was conducted via translator.

我們之後的訪談都是透過翻譯進行的。

Those are the words of a man who knows what he's doing, what horrors he has unleashed on his digital world.

這是一位瞭解自己所為、瞭解自己對數位世界釋放了什麼恐怖的人說的話。

But even then there are ways to deal with enemies.

但即便如此，還是有對付敵人的方法。

They can be stunned, opening them up to big damage.

牠們可以被擊暈，然後就能造成大量傷害。

In the case of the wasps, I could knock them out of the air, which is where they're strongest.

就黃蜂來說，我可以把牠們打落空中，那裡是牠們最強的時候。

If I stunned them, I could chop off their wings, preventing them from taking to the air and forcing them to fight on my terms no matter what enemy I went up against or how many times I saw them.

如果我把牠們擊暈，就能砍斷牠們的翅膀，阻止牠們飛上天，迫使牠們在我的 terms 下戰鬥，不管我遇到什麼敵人，或者看見牠們幾次。

It was always scary when a fight drew the attention of more baddies and exhilarating when I landed a big hit, nailed a dodge attack or timed a team up attack just so.

當一場戰鬥引來更多壞蛋時總是令人害怕，而當我打出一個重擊、成功閃避攻擊或精準地使出團隊合作攻擊時，則令人興奮。

What I saw of the world was just as intriguing.

我所看到的整個世界同樣引人入勝。

In most RPGs, the worlds are something you navigate between combat encounters, but

在大多數的 RPG 遊戲裡，世界只是讓你穿梭於戰鬥之間的場景，

in Echoes of Aincrad, getting around is half the battle.

但在《Echoes of Aincrad》裡，移動本身就是一半的挑戰。

Futami told me that they wanted the world itself to be like a dungeon, and

Futami 告訴我，他們希望這個世界本身就像一個地下城，

I felt it when I was playing much of the time I was figuring out how to get where I wanted to be from where I was and what paths I'd need to take to get from one floating orb, which serves as places to rest and restore your potions, but

我在玩的時候，很多時候都感覺到了，我得想辦法從我所在的地方移動到我想去的地方，以及需要走哪些路才能從一個漂浮的圓球（用來休息和恢復藥水）移動到另一個，

also respawn enemies to another, finding chests along the way.

同時也會讓敵人重生到別處，沿途尋找寶箱。

By far my favorite thing about the world was finding Arcs, defeating the mini boss.

我最喜歡這個世界的地方，就是找到「Arc」，並擊敗小頭目。

Enemies sealed inside the Arks will open up other seals scattered throughout the world, allowing you to get chests and other goodies.

被封印在「Arc」裡的敵人會打開散佈在世界各地的其他封印，讓你拿到寶箱和其他好東西。

it was too dark for me to see what was inside.

Apparently I didn't have the right equipment to light the way.

顯然我沒有適當的裝備來照亮前方的路。
