Bless the fine people at Square Enix who decided to put the actual logo of FFT on the package spine instead of that terrible “arial black on white” that they’ve defaulted to for a decade plus. You have some of the most beautiful art, logos, and fonts in the industry!Keep using them!

This is an amazing bit of localization history, touching on A Link to the Past, Super Mario 64, Pokemon, and Animal Crossing!

To this day there is a certain subset of people who seem to think that Japanese is a sterile, wooden language (and thus, wooden translations are more “”accurate””) when the real Japanese is infinitely more creative than they could ever imagine

10 years ago my boss asked me if I’d ever want to dub Yakuza 0 - I was like, Nahhh. But life comes at you slow, and I’m glad we had 10 years (in the joint) to prepare for the challenge. THANK YOU to the entire team, cast, and crew who made it possible, and enjoy the game!

Food for thought. External QA, animators, voice actors, and musicians deserve to be part of the narrative of game makers.
No, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 wasn't "made" by 30 people
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's credits are a lot bigger than "30 developers".

I don't mean to go back to the Game Awards; we all know the troubles. BUT — Metaphor winning Best Narrative is the first Japanese to English localization title to achieve that in the show's 10 years. And yeah, "down year", dearth of "prestige" AAA titles to compete against, I know all that. (1/3)

Being localization producer on Geoff Keighley’s RPG of the Year was not on my life’s bingo card

Hello, new followers! I’m Scott, and I imagine most of you know me as a localization guy from 16 years worth of various work. That said, I am free from the desire to post! When I do get the urge to post, I ask myself, should I really post? And the answer is usually no! But thanks for following ❤️

I had my first chili dog today. I don’t know how I made it this far without having one or how people eat something so messy like it’s nothing, but it was pretty good, ngl. Are you proud of me Sonic

Tragic cycle of game development - shutter all the studios making small, interesting games! Focus on one massive GTA chaser! Oh no it had higher budgets and expectations than a mars rover and it flopped! Buy indie studios who made money while the mega game was tanking!

When all the 90s homies were into Wolverine, I was a Gambit kid. Got teased a lot for that, actually. He’s been a backburner character ever since really, so seeing his time to shine in 97 and all the love he and his actor are getting after E5 brings me so much joy.
