There's another Touhou fan game in early access that mentions Super Robot Wars, but in a really funny way. Seeing this made us realize that since Mountain of Faith was in 2007, in Sanae's view, "retro" SRW would be SRW 4, and Alpha 3 and Original Generations would still be pretty new...

Did you know, like all the Super Robot Wars games, it has a functioning wiki on Akurasu under the popular name for the rereleased game before it got a localized title?
Use it if you want to know missable secrets, etc.!

It's on brand that Warrior of Light would use proper capitalization and punctuation when texting people, but what I want to see is Rinoa's texting style. I feel like she should use tons of abbreviations, exclamation marks, cute emotes, and also "OMGF" instead of "OMFG".

Normally this kind of tip would be overkill in a game like Final Fantasy Tactics, but there's one story battle where Ramza has to solo a boss, so you can't just muddle around with him. He needs to have at least SOME optimized damage and survival capabilities to get through that.
If you want to steamroll the game, teach Ramza the Ninja's Dual Wield ability, Samurai's Blade Grasp, then make him a dual wield monk with Blade Grasp. Blade Grasp gives you a % chance to dodge physical attacks based on Bravery, and double-punching can quickly have you one-shotting enemies.

Comp copy day! Uncle from Another World volume 12, in which Uncle is baffled to learn of a game system that involves swinging nunchuks, someone from the Kofun Era takes issue with the era name, and we all learn about Japanese energy drink commercials from the early 90s.

Woolsey had even more restrictive challenges, if you'll believe it. He's shared anecdotes in interviews about how in Secret of Mana he submitted a completed script, then Square sent it back and said it wouldn't fit on the rom and he needed to pare it down to 30% of the initial text volume.
I always bring up Final Fantasy VI because pople LOVE to shit on the work Ted did there with some of the same issues that faced Alexander with FF8 but ultimately the most common mods for any port of FF6 are bringing the Ted localization back because it's so unique and nostalgic.

Given Alexander Smith's anecdote about translating Final Fantasy 8 without ANY kind of script provided (having to play and record the game on VHS and transcribe it before TL could happen), I refuse to believe FF Tactics PS1's text structure was remotely coherent. I'd love to see those old workfiles.
Which isn't meant as a condemnation of the those who worked on the PSX translation, by the way. Like Anna, I suspect the problems had more to do with the translation process itself rather than a lack of skill or dedication on the part of the people involved. This thread provides examples of that:
A friend talked about a mobile game he was playing that had weird translation issues. That got me to thinking about what the cause of those issues could be, and considering the wider question of how many factors can influence a translation before even considering an individual translator's merits. 🧵
