Yeah, that's what I mean. A translation that isn't Zero Wing quality will always be done by a native speaker, in-house just means that they moved to Japan. If anything it's worse since it gives the localizer a more direct line to the devs if they can see them in person every day.
With your definition i do not think it's exactly true. I would argue that due to Globalism and also due to AI. You do not need to have offices in America or bring people from within America to work in Japan itself, due to Technological advancements. Zero Wing and the older botched works of some Anime and Manga were in a different time and era honestly. There was no Google, there was no learning apps like Anki, there was no Youtube, and even ironically enough there was no great resources at the time other than a few books, creating your own flash cards,watching and reading whatever Japanese content for immersion purposes and calling it a day. I mean the fact i can learn Japanese without needing a teacher, or needing to go into university is huge, and information is everywhere at a break neck speed is something to consider as well.
lol it even mentions Body, and yet they just went with something else. Reminder Xenoblade Chronicles was handled by Nintendo Of Europe. I would also give a tip to use Stroke on Photoshop for text if you can, it helps legibility and makes the text look clean for everyone to see if you will be spreading this info around.
Updated it.
Thank you so much, sorry for not responding. Hopefully i did save you from a double post here.
That one might be more of an honest mistake. The irony is though in the recent version of SMT III they did call the Candalabria the Menorah which is crazy to think about. I never thought we would see references to Judaism again.
You shouldn't hate the games themselves to begin with, only the localization teams that had nothing to do with the actual development of the games (in the past anyway). Criticizing a game's localization does not equate to criticizing the game itself, and this is something many fanboys don't understand - when you point out the shit localization of one of their favorite games they think you are shit-talking the game itself so they get all defensive and end up joining the side of the localization bootlickers. They believe that because they had a great time with the game there can't be anything wrong with the localization either.
That is the one thing I don't really understand either. When I don't wanna support a game for its localization being of poor or questionable quality, I'm criticizing the translation not the game itself. Another thing I forgot to mention was how they said they find it stupid that everyone now wants "100% accuracy with no deviation or additions of jokes" saying that's "impossible to begin with". I know that there are things that may be hard to convey due to cultural and linguistic nuances that can be lost in translation. However, is it really impossible to just, not add in flavor text and jokes that weren't there in the first place? This is something that still bothers me since they know why people don't want these. He also brought up that there's now in-fighting within communities that want more accurate translations? Like people wanting the same goal but are split on the whole Unicorn Overload localization, and are now fighting each other about their differing views. While I haven't personally seen that myself, I won't say it's impossible, but idk. I'd rather not go back to twitter to find this kind of stuff, I left for a reason.
Honestly, yes. I would absolutely hate the localization in those games. I love FF9 and I still have to replay the game because I know the localization was butchered on it. Even games I disliked like FF8 might have been because of the localization in it, so I'll have to replay those too.
So atlus really wants to get jew money it looks like. Well, this may be reaching but i wouldn't be surprised if altus was taking bribes from the jews down in the esg/blackrock groups.
Ohhoho i hate localizers since the days of 4kids if anything i just get more evidence by the day, why they all just fucking suck.
You know how easy it is to get dogpilled like that online? very fucking easy and mfers keep forgetting that hate can be a good thing and being called a hater can be a badge of honor especially if you're a troonsphobe like i am lol.
I didn't find where he says the "あたし" but that "アーン" made it so evident for me he is an okama guy.
He says it in other lines, I was just comparing this one line. He says "ara" too.
You know, something funny about this. Ever notice that people online talks about 4kids, they always say that "i am glad we are out of this censorship" but then you see a lot of variations of this kind of writing as a whole throughout the last 30 to 40 years? Kind of odd considering that America bills itself as progressive and translators pretend they are ultra free expression but write things no different than any of their "censorship" past predecessors did.
