A Crash Korse in How Not to Localize

A Crash Korse in How Not to Localize

By Kajitani-Eizan on November 16, 2014

Due to popular demand, I will explain exactly what Namco should have done to make this localization not be terrible! It’s really simple:

When in doubt, If It Ain’t Broke, Don’t Fix It.

If you don’t know what you’re doing, leave it the hell alone until you do. If you take this one adage to Kor, you can get far in life. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like Namco got the message. Continue reading »

Like Moths to a Flame

By Kajitani-Eizan on November 10, 2014

I don’t have the Heart to blog about how incredibly shitty a job they did despite having 6 months to fix it up and despite everyone telling them exactly what they did wrong. So instead, I’m going to focus on what they did right.

– They got Lithia right

– The Sleeping Beauty poem is cutely translated

– Some lines of dialogue (~40%+) aren’t a TOTAL trainwreck… 40%! That’s great, guys! That’s better than Sword Art Online!

That’s about it. You can spoil yourself if you want:

Buy it, or don’t. It barely matters. I won’t.

Attn: Namco: Please Fix These Things in Hearts R

By Kajitani-Eizan on April 18, 2014

It’s been confirmed that Tales of Hearts R for the Sony Playstation Vita will be coming to western shores in Winter 2014! We would like to give our thanks and congratulations to Tales producer Mr. Hideo Baba, who has followed through on his suggestion that Western Tales fans should really play Hearts and is going to make it happen. As a result, we will put the fan translation on hold. As previously stated, we don’t want to scuttle the ship that is Tales in the West by potentially lowering sales. As such, if you want to play Hearts in English, I would recommend buying the Vita version when it comes out! Continue reading »
