Josep @josepmc.bsky.social · 7hMy Castlevania hot take is that IGA and his lot from Tokyo fundamentally damaged the franchise in the long term and that Konami Kobe was the best thing to ever happen to it. 101
Josep @josepmc.bsky.social · 15hIt's real rich to see Kiseki zealots whine about the "purity of the Japanese script" when these very writers showed zero respect for the original Legend of Heroes IV by tossing out Hayakawa's entire script like garbage in 2000 and bastardizing it with their own trite fanfiction. 110

I tried my best to explain properly how the process of making a fantranslation works in a way that anyone can understand. Big thanks to @groggy.dog for running YsLink and interviewing me! If anyone has any further questions, feel free to ask! 13215

Josep @josepmc.bsky.social · 17/09/2026If someone manages to hack the PS1 version of The Legend of Heroes IV, I'm willing to port my translation work to it. Of course, my main priority is getting the PC-98 version done, but the script is identical, aside from some manual descriptions and text from the back of the box. 181

Josep @josepmc.bsky.social · 12/09/2026There are a myriad of things I'd love to post about and discuss in detail regarding the original The Legend of Heroes IV, but I'm refraining from doing so to avoid dropping spoilers. I've also woven plenty of nifty literary devices and very deliberate choices into my translation. 100
Josep @josepmc.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Leave it to corporate drones to literally trash older games just to shill hijacked remakes or worse modern entries that distort and strip away what made the originals special, degrading and ruining the series to satisfy the creative vanity of people who think they know better. 010
Josep @josepmc.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Everything from Fusion onward might as well be a different series altogether. It made painfully clear that NES Metroid to Super Metroid was a fluke and that Nintendo has no idea why people liked these games to begin with. Zero Mission is also horrible and just sucks as a remake. 000
Josep @josepmc.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Ran into a weird bug during the Lucref Open Scenario that wasn't there before, so I'll play around with this port for the time being. 110

Josep @josepmc.bsky.social · 31/08/2026I had this thought weighing on my mind, but would people be okay/interested if I opened a new Falcom music channel that focused strictly on old, unreleased/unavailable music? I would actually like to hear everyone's thoughts on this, so please let me know what you think. 6152
Josep @josepmc.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Still no reply, but that was to be expected. Falcom is just the inflexible type. They are just incredibly obtuse and narrow-minded. 020
Josep @josepmc.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Still waiting for a response from Falcom now that Obon is over. If anyone knows a more effective way to reach out to them or has direct contact with them, please let me know. 020
Josep @josepmc.bsky.social · 13/08/2026I'm seeing talk about wanting a sequel to The White Witch or a remake, given the current Egg Console announcement. But honestly, at this point, anyone who still has the nerve to hype up a Gagharv remake by the current Falcom should be treated as an absolute hater of the series. 110
Josep @josepmc.bsky.social · 10/08/2026I just remembered that both of the translations for Sweet Home (NES) are actually really bad. If anyone has the means hacking-wise to do it properly, please reach out to me or Some Spoony Bard. 010
Josep @josepmc.bsky.social · 10/08/2026I suppose I won't get a reply for the time being, what with it being the Obon holiday week and their offices closed... 020
Josep @josepmc.bsky.social · 08/08/2026As with Lost Kefin, I also participated here as lead translator and editor, taking suggestions for refinement from our testers. As it's a short game, I aimed to make the script feel tight and smooth. We would be happy if our work helps more people enjoy this version of the game. 0207
