Yeasss an official way to play this is half of all I ever wanted from video games. I haven’t said “day one” in an age but for this, I ride at dawn.

A great interview with a guy who’s had a huge impact on the king of RPGs. These days, it’s a brave and rare thing for someone in loc to be visible, and some of the replies/quotes to this kinda drive that point home. I can only imagine how much worse it is on the other place.

I saw a post once I still consider a great mindset that said a backlog is better viewed as a wine cellar - you may never drink it all, but you can pull out anything you might feel like enjoying at any time, even if you don’t finish it

I was speaking to a localizer once of a well-loved series - to the point where the publisher knows full-well that localization is a big part of why it is successful in the west - and they remarked "What if [localizer] gets in a car wreck? They're the VOICE of that character. We'd be screwed."

I started Dragon Quest III HD with the lords of fast food performing their most epic collab ever. I have set them all to auto battle for the entire game for I am but an observer on this Burger Odyssey

And in case you're wondering, no, I did not skip FFXI like a coward. It took a mere, leisurely 415 hours to take a new character from level 1 to rolling credits on Seekers of Andoulin and Rhapsody of Vana'diel. I can finally put that game to rest in my life. So FFXIII come out, I just want to talk

In 2022, I wasn't feeling FFXVI, so I said I would play the entire main line series again, and only *then* would I play it. I also said that by the time I got there, surely FFXIII would be available a console I actually have plugged in. Well I just platinumed FFXII and dear reader, I was wrong

The Guild games were my first experience with having work become inaccessible and it sucks. If there’s anything that could save them though, it’s people who aren’t gonna stand for something Matsuno made being buried forever

The full map to the original Castlevania. This is a brilliant map. Despite seeing a map in between stages, you don't really think about how it all connects, but the flow lines up almost perfectly making one cohesive castle.

Wings of the Goddess! I went in expecting timey-wimey nonsense at the scale of the crystal war and instead got a bunch of more intimate storylines of war and sacrifice MIXED with timey nonsense 🙂

The smattering of games I finished this year. It was neat to escape my JRPG enclosure for a few of these and clear some things I’d meant to do 5-25 years ago. I remain adamant that playing games years late is the way: less discourse, fewer bugs, and whole content updates!

KIRYU-CHAN! 🔪✨ #yakuza
Isometric fanart of multiple Majima Everywhere encounters from Yakuza Kiwami. Majima runs into Kiryu in different parts of a Kamurocho street corner in various disguises or hiding spots. Goromi, Hannya-Man, and 24-Hour Cinderella are among Majima's disguises.

If your game has voice acting, then working with the voice actors is half of your writing process. It's not complete until you've heard it interpreted and reimagined by a voice actor. And they always reimagine it in ways that elevate the writing, in ways you never would have imagined yourself.

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!

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.

And that human symphony, experienced by voters and jury members of the Game Awards in a *downstream language* was still found worthy of the Best Narrative accolade. I hope you'll celebrate it as victory not just for Sega/Atlus and our team, but one for the power of and a case for good localization.

Nevertheless it's an accomplishment, dare I say it, for the whole profession. As translators fight for living wages, to be credited for the their work, as AI threatens livelihoods, Metaphor's narrative was written by humans, translated by humans, and performed by humans (...heh if you know you know)

Scott Strichart @triggerredd.bsky.social · 21/12/2024
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)
