You can’t even comprehend how important Eien ni Hen’s work is to the fan translation community. Romancing SaGa, Fire Emblem, Sakura Wars, Tear Ring Saga, Glory of Heracles, Dragon Force II, Dark Half, Beyond Oasis, Psi-O-Blade, Arabian Nights, and so much more. What a loss. Rest in peace.

Why not design the Highwind to land as it does in the original game? It turns out not a lot of spaces can accommodate a massive airship. Hamaguchi and the team would have to highly restrict options for landing zones to large, flat areas. A problem that parachuting resolves rather neatly. More:

Koji Fox: "To be serious with you, it's only going to get harder to get into localization as a profession. A lot of companies are going to start, if they haven't already started, looking to AI to handle translation—which is frickin' sad. It's going to start limiting opportunities."
