News are... so nowhere to be seen since the last direct. I feel like all I see is "this switch game looks bad" or Pokemon news (and both together of course).
I never seen anyone disparage Xenoblade X for the localization outside of a small group on the internet.
as for the potential TMS base, they'd turn their back on them because they're small. the people who'll not buy the game because of the changes are not the people nintendo wants nor do they see them as worth courting.
Isn't it normal.
Most people play their own languages versions or the one they understand a available. And in the smaller group of people who know several language you have to find those who try different versions and then you have some who don't care about any change in the script whatsoever, so yeah, it can't be something else than a small group.
Honestly I just can't appreciate characters or scenes when what they say is far too different between versions.
The tone is one thing, the wording is another, but really sometimes it even changes the whole "mood" of the character and from one version to another it's like watching 2 completely different characters.
I'm not a Japanese language fanatic either as I love some English voices, but in western games.
I know I'm part of minority in a minority but I gave some japanese lesson to a friend who didn't care about it before. And now that he understands basic Japanese, he can't go back. And he's... not the type who follow other people for no reason. He makes his own mind. So... there is "something".
It's really a matter of caring or noticing.
Anyway, sorry for the essay : D, I mentioned Ace Attorney for that reason, as a joke because some localisations would do anything to a point where it makes no sense anymore, to make their "adaptations" sometimes... often.
And, it's cool, since that's what people like and maybe, maybe, that's even the right thing to do.
Now who's to say which language is objectively better to use for which product...
I heard some parts (not costumes) were just removed from #FE, so it might not just be what some people describe as "tasteful change" or something. Funny how it kinda also means that Japanese have no taste since they never get the "censored versions"
Ha... I talk a lot about something I don't really relate to lol (the censorship part, I care about the translation part a bit more). Feel free to not mind much, it's just random thoughts, I'm not complaining or anything. Merely vague observation. You're the poor person who just met this old guy suddenly telling you his whole life in the street. = )
