Like a Rising Phoenix to the Flame
By now, I’m sure you’re well aware of the news that Absolute Zero is hanging up their translation hats and deciding to move on.

The Arte of Arte Naming
Pretty much just don’t be Namco and you’ll be fine.

Namco pls. Seriously, just stop for a moment. What are you doing?
Zestiria: A Good (?) Release

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year, everyone! This post has been long delayed due to lack of time and lack of playing Zestiria enough, but I guess I might as well put it out there. Here are my impressions about and critique of the Zestiria release.
